Flying in Love (a Niall Horan fan fic)

Chapter 61

Niall's POV

'Hey Lexi' is what I finally decide on texting her. Right after I send it, I want to erase it and pretend it never happened. It's not like she'll respond anyway. She might not of even gotten a phone. Besides, she has a life, maybe even a boyfriend. Someone who can be by her side every second of every day, who can cuddle with her, have movie marathons, do everything I couldn't. That's the kind of guy she deserves. Not someone like me.

My thoughts get scrambled up in my head, almost making me dizzy. Then I focus on Lexi. Beautiful, perfect Lexi. I thought for sure when she woke up from her short coma because of our kiss, that she was the one. That this was love. The moment she walked onto my plane, I wanted to spend everyday with her. I loved how her hair would fall effortlessly onto her shoulders, and how she would brush her long bangs away from her beautiful brown eyes, then she'd crinkle her nose and smile revealing her perfect teeth. Then I finally realize that this is love. That I still have a chance to redeem her back. I'd make the boys let me take her on tour with us, so that if never lose her.

"Nialllll," Harry waves his palm in front of my face.

"Sorry," I shake my head.

"You wanna play?" He hold up an XBox controller.

"No, maybe later..We have today and tomorrow off right lad?"

"Yep, and the day that were not off is just some interview at like 9pm or something."

I dismiss myself and quickly pack my bag with some clothes.

"Where are you going?" Zayn furrows his eyebrows.

"I just need to go, it's an emergency. I'll be back by tomorrow night, I promise. I just need to go."

"Well then... I'm going with you."

"No Zayn, you have to stay here."

"At least let me take the cab with you or something."

"Then the paparazzi are going to have someone to ask where I'm going."

"But I don't even know where your going."

"Just stay here and tell the others I'll be back soon."

"Okay." he gives in.

Lexi's POV

'Hey Lexi' is typed into my screen.

I hesitate before replying. 'Hey Niall'. Then I start going through Tumblr. One Direction is trending with pictures of the iHeart radio concert. I didn't have the chance to watch it, but the pictures and Fifa basically explained it all. A picture of Niall caught my eye. It was him with his guitar, but not just any guitar, it was the one he used to play me to sleep with on the plane. A smile involuntarily spreads across my face, and I start to playback that night on the plane before drifting off to sleep.

Niall's POV

I had to disguise myself with a hat and a pair of sunglasses. I texted Brian about my arrival, and he agreed to pick me up and drive me to Lexi's flat. He also agreed to buying some roses, chocolates, and a teddy bear for me as long as I paid him back.

I got onto the plane without a problem, which was a surprise. Because I'm going without warning, my plane wasn't available. So, I am forced to ride a plane with some strangers.

The time passes until we finally board, and still, no one notices me. When all of us settled into our seats, the flight attendants went over the safety precautions and we were off. The pilot said that the flight would be around two hours, which would mean that we would arrive at one.

Lexi's POV

I woke up with my phone still in my hand, with the picture of Niall replaced with a black screen, signaling that it fell asleep. My phone reads 12:30 when I wake it up to check the time. I fell asleep for almost three hours. I want to get up and explore the stores and shops around me, but laziness takes over my energy and I just want to go back to sleep. So I do.

Niall's POV

The plane landed around thirty minutes early than estimated, and I was welcomed by a happy, somewhat older looking Brian.

"Hey dude...welcome to Wisconsin!" he sarcastically says.

I laugh before greeting him. Brian leads me to his car and starts talking to me about everything: from his new flat, to his new girlfriend, to Lexi.

"I bought some chocolate, a small teddy bear, and a rose." he points to the back seat.

"A rose?" I ask expecting a bouquet.

"A rose," he confirms before continuing ,"trust me, it's way more romantic than a bouquet." he pats my back. "Trust me."

I nod and just focus on what's really important, Lexi.

++++++++30 minutes later++++++

"We're heerree" Brian announces as we pull into the parking lot. After we park and I grab the gifts, he leads me to her room. It takes him a while to find his spare key. Once he finds it, he slowly unlocks the door.
