That's When I Saw You {Neth Fanfic}

26. Do You Love Me?

Beth's POV

For the whole of the next morning I couldn't stop smiling. Our date had gone really well, resulting in me giggling all evening. The same thought ran through my mind as I moved around the flat in my pyjamas.

Last night, when he had told me, he had taken my hand and looked into my eyes so intensely that I feared something was wrong.

"I need to ask you something." He had said, holding my hand with both of his own. "And I need you to answer me honestly."

I nodded for him to continue, placing my other hand on his.

"I want...I want you...to.." He stumbled over his words, whilst I patiently waited for him to finish.

"Ok, look." He stopped himself, "Do you love me as much as I love you?"

"Of course Niall, with all my heart." I smiled half heartedly, still a bit worried.

"Would you stay with me, if I asked you to?"

"Yes, of course!"

"Well then...would you move in with me?"

I didn't think until then that it was possible to physically feel happiness, but then I felt an undeniable warmth in my heart, making such a wild smile burst out on my face.

"Yes! I would love to!" I laughed standing up and leaning over the table and hugging him so tightly.

Me and Niall were moving in together. We were moving in together.

I was so excited it was unbelievable. I practically skipped around, hearing a rough laugh from behind me as I nearly slipped.

"Someone's excited." The hoarse Irish voice rang out.

"Can you blame me?" I sang, "I can't believe you asked me that."

"Well if it's any consolation, I'm equally as excited. I'm just better at hiding it." He laughed, pulling me down by my waist to the sofa.

"I've heard the news." I heard Louis from above me, as I looked up to see him looking down at us over the back of the sofa.

"You don't understand how excited I am." I laughed, playing with the strands of hair that hung over his forehead.

"I have a house on the outside on London in mind, if you want to have a look?" He said, watching me carefully.

"Definitely, as soon as possible." I grinned, resting my head on his chest as he rubbed my shoulder with his thumb.

"Beth?" A feminine voice sounded from behind me.

"Is that you Tamsin?"

"Yeah." She groaned, "I'm knackered."

"Harry keep you up all night?" I smirked,

"Don't even." She laughed, getting some bread out the cupboard to put in the toaster. "Josie hasn't even got up yet. Her and Zayn out completely out of it."

"Liam's gone out to get some stuff for us to help with the new house." Niall murmured,

"Cool, when can we go and look at the house?"

"In half an hour if you like. I have a key so we can just let ourselves in."

"Do you own it?"

"Yeah, and I've got everything sorted out so it's ready to paint and decorate and stuff."

"I'll go get ready then." I said, stretching and attempting to get up before Niall pulled me back down again.

"No, stay and cuddle." He whined like a little child. "You didn't cuddle this morning."

"Cos I was hungry!" I laughed, "I'll stay with you now."

I closed my eyes and focused on everything that I felt in that particular moment, like he steady beat of his heart on my back, his soft breath of the back of my neck, his strong arms that held me against him. These are the kind of moments that make me glad that I got the chance to even do this in the first place. Words can't describe how much I love him and his cuddly tendencies.

"Now this would be really cute if you weren't taking up the entire sofa." Louis frowned, holding his bowl of Rice Krispies. "Budge."

"Nooo." Niall moaned, holding on to me tighter, making me laugh, "Go sit somewhere else."

Louis didn't answer, instead he just sat on the arm of the chair by Nialls head, making him sit up sharply, taking me with him.

"Fine, sit there." Niall huffed, "Just stay here, princess."

"Don't worry I'm not going anywhere."

"Is someone forgetting about our concert tomorrow?" Zayn said,walking in the room followed by Josie.

"No, I'm just trying to forget my nerves." Niall sighed, "The more I do today the better."

It was then I saw Zayn lean over and whisper something in Josie's ear, at which she giggled before lightly elbowing him in the stomach. No doubt he made some sort of inappropriate joke.

Well today should be fun, time to move in with my ultimate idol of all time!
