-Chapter 18

I woke up and it was then I realised I was in Niall's arms. My cheek was rested on his chest and our legs were tangled. I moved my head and looked up at him to see he was still sleeping. His mouth was open ajar, soft snores coming out of it.

I tried to free from his grip but he was had a tight grip on me. I have a feeling he isn't sleeping anymore, nobody grips that tight asleep. I put my cheek back on his chest, getting his distinctive smell. He sighed a little and his hands moved so they were now around my waist. The cheeky shit. I was gonna give out to him I kinda liked the feeling.

I could hear his heart beating from where my head was placed. I listened to it for a little bit, the sound soothing.

I never lay like this with a boy, though I guess I always longed to. I kinda love it.

I peered up at him and seen his eyes shot closed. I rolled my eyes. "Niall, I know you're not fucking sleeping." I said to him, hitting his chest and he let out a fit of giggles. He opened his eyes and looked down at me.

I sat up, untangling our legs and perching myself up on my elbow so I was face to face with him. He kept his arms around me though and buried his face in my side, closing his eyes. I like him when he's cuddly like this, it gives me a sense of serenity when I'm in his arms.

"What time have we to leave?" I asked him.

"Don't know, Michael will come in." He muttered, his voice rasped with sleep. He moved his head, his blonde hairs tickling my chin. He lay his cheek on the plump pillow, perched next to mine and he looked up at me. He give me a sloppy smile and giggled a little.

"Are you excited to go home today?" I asked him.

"M'not going to Ireland today, it'll be too late by the time we get to London." He told me.

"When are you going?" I asked him.

"In a few days." He replied. "I have a question." He said.

"Yeah?"

"Wanna come to Ireland with me?" He asked me and my heart skipped a beat.

"What?"

"You heard me." He stated. "I want my mom to meet you." He said.

"Yeah, don't go mad at me but why didn't you tell you mom about our fake relationship?" I asked him and he sighed, rubbing his hand over his face.

"We're not allowed to tell people it's fake." He replied.

"We're allowed to tell our closest family." I pointed out. "So why didn't you tell her?" I asked him.

"I just I." He sighed, running a hand, which was absent from around my waist, though his hair. He avoided eye contact, his eyes changing position every few seconds. "I haven't had a girlfriend since before x-factor and when my mom seen the pictures of us snogging on the front of the newspaper she got all excited and asked me if you were my girlfriend and the way she was so excited and seemed so proud of me I couldn't say no, so I just said yes." He said.

"Oh Niall." I sighed.

"Will you promise you won't tell her, it's embarrassing enough I had to buy my girlfriend, imagine my mom knowing that." He sighed.

"I'll pretend with her too, I promise." I smiled at him and he grinned from ear to ear.

"Thank you Jenny." He beamed. I only said yes because he is finally being nice to me at the minute so why wouldn't I be nice to him? "So will you come to Ireland with me?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I guess so, I've never been to Ireland so." I said. "What day?" I asked him.

"Saturday." He responded.
