You Are My Sunshine ↠ Niall Horan

[12] - Niall

N I A L L

Shannon, in my jumper. Shannon, in just a one piece. Shannon, sitting on my lap and sharing a pizza.

I honestly don't think this night could've been any better, besides the fact that I'm a little cold because I gave my jumper to Shannon. My eyes begin to droop once I get to my door, tiredness washing over me.

I don't think that having company is what makes me so happy but that I had Shannon's company. Her warm, cuddly aura is so comforting. My mind is still swirling of the image of her in just a one piece, curvy waist and long legs.

I don't understand how she could be so insecure about herself, the way she quickly pulled a towel across her body made me frown. Swaying together makes me physically smile as I sit on my bed, she let me hold her. She let's me wrap my arms around her, hold her tight to my chest as her fingertips slowly trace circles. Resting on my pillow, I don't worry about being alone tonight.

My mind is set on Shannon, thinking her presence is still with me.

Only a tiny sense of loneliness washes over me.

"Shan?" I ask her as we walk side by side, hand in hand.

I've just picked her up from work and we're walking home together again, "Shan, you still with me?" I click my fingers in front of her dazed stare.

"Yeah..." She mumbles and I chuckle at her sleepy state as she rubs her eyes with the palm of her other hand. "Just tired." Her tired phase is cute, adorable actually.

"Aw, is poor Shannon tired, you feeling sleepy Shan?" I tease.

She glares at my fake pout, "You're an annoying shit, you know that?"

"Yeah, but I'm your annoying shit." I continue, "We're almost there."

"I don't think I can make it." An incoherent mumble escapes her lips again but she thinks I haven't heard her.

Stopping our walk I step in front of her and bend to her height, "Jump." I command.

"Niall..."

"Shan, it's alright I got you. Trust me."

Although I know it's not a trust issue, it's her insecurity about her thighs. She doesn't think it's obvious but I can see right through her, "Ni-."

"Shan." I hear her sigh as she knows my stubborn self won't let her go further if she isn't on my back. As she steps forward my hands wrap around her thighs, a gasp escapes her lips. "I've got you, just jump I'll catch you."

"It's alright Niall."

"Shannon, are you questioning the strength of my muscles?" Turning around I fold my arms in front of my chest trying to look tough. I notice Shannon's little scan of my biceps as they flare up in front of her.

"What muscles?" She smirks.

"The ones you were just checking out." Now it's my turn to smirk.

Her playful glare makes me chuckle and I turn around I once more telling her to jump on my back.

After a few seconds of hesitation her feet leave the ground and I'm carrying all her weight, without any struggle. I feel her chin bury into my neck as her arms rest beneath my collar bone, shortly after she's tracing below my shoulder small circles with her nails that always seem to have chipped polish.

Two houses away from Shannon's house, unfortunately, her head pops up from its comfortable position. "Niall can you see that?"

"Huh?"
