Nialls POV: 

A few days past and everything seemed to be normal. Lex responded to my texts and phone calls like normal, i hadnt heard from Laura,and as far as i knew what happened a few nights ago,was still a secret.Now i only hoped to keep it that way.

 I hummed along to a random tune in my head as i exited the hotel. We were currently packing our things to head back to London for a short 1 week break from the busy tour schedual. I was greatfully packed,so i got a good seat in the van for the ride to the airport. I cant wait to see Lex at her house. Hopefully she is still completly clueless about me coming back.

* 8 hours later *

  I took in a refreshing breath of air as i walked into the chilling atmosphere,heading for the back door of the  airport. There was no possible way of getting through the noraml entrance with all the screaming girls in the hotel.I grabbed my luggage from a security gaurd who had fetched it for me,and quickly headed towards the limo outside in the parking lot.

   There were a few smarter fans outside,wating near the limo so we all quickly took pics and signed autographs and escaped before the mob of screaming girls began to pile out of the airport doors.

   The ride was like it usually is when we get home. Excitement filling the air,and what seemes to be permanent smiles we plastered on each of our faces. Theres and unexplainable feeling of relief and happieness that overwhelms me when i get back to London. Even though its not my true home  where i was born and raised, its still home to me because its where my boys are,and Lex too.

   After each boy got out of the limo outside of our little complex,i stayed giving the driver directions to   Lex' house.  The familar feeling of excitment welled up inside me,but stronger this time. It scared me to death to know that i almost lost Lex over some stupid drunk mistake, and knowing that i still had her gorgeous face to come home to made me even more greatfull that my mistake was still a secret.

  As the long stretch limo pulled up the her apartment i grabbed the bundle of red roses from the seat next to me and exited the machine. Taking in deep breaths as i walked through the appartment building and up the hall i appraoched her door, knocking lightly. 

  Luckily her door didnt have a peep hole so it would be a complete surpise when she opened the door and saw me. I heard her faint footsteps approach the door and saw the handle slowly begin to move as she gripped it. 

  The door swung open and her small figure stood in the door in a pair of short shorts and a loose top. Her mouth dropped to the floor and her eyes began to water, scaring me a little.

 What if she knows? Nononono! What do i do? Oh my god Niall do something for the love of god! 

"Lex?" I questioned lightly as i watched her hand fly over her mouth. She hurridly wiped away her tears and threw her petite body into mine. I wrapped my arms around her waist as i felt her legs grip mine. I headr her sniffle lightly and i walked into the appartment befor a random strager saw us in the hallway. 

  I gently proped her bare legs onto the  counter in the kitchen.She hesitantly let her arms loose from around my neck and played with the colar on my shirt. She giggled as leaned in kissing her forhead lightly. The scent of strawberry's circled around my nostrils as i beathed in her warm perfume. 

  " Lex, are you alright?" I questioned again, moving my gaze towards her eyes. She smiled and ran her hand along my jaw.

" Im just really glad your here Niall" she answered as she leaned in, passionatly planting her lips on my. Its sent a bolt of happiness through my body as her lips moved in sync with mine. A smile crept onto her lips ending the kiss. 

  She hopped off the counter running to the table where i had layed her bundle of roses. She picked them up, gracefully lifting them to her nose as she inhaled the sweet scent. She layed them back on the counter smiling at me as she carefully grabbed my hand,directing me towards the couch. 

  We both sat down , but I grabbed Lex gently pulling her close enough to me that she slid down on the couch,resting her head on my legs. She closed her eyes as i ran my fingers through her wavy hair.

  " I wish we could stay like this forever" She whispered as she crossed her feet. I smiled wildly before responding.

" Me too, but unfortuantly we cant" I began and she opened her eyes, pouting a little. " We cant because if you dont hurry up and pack your bags we will never make it to Miami!" I said as i grinned down at her flawless face.

  Her blue-green eyes widened as the words escaped my lips. She jumped off the couch and stood directly in front of me, a smile glued to her mouth. Her eye lashes batted quickly as she tried to digest what i had just said.

" What?!" She questioned as her small body bounced around in excitement.

" We are going to Miami in 3 hours.. i think you should start packing" I said as she began jumping around even more. I stood up from my seat laughing and her jumping around like a hyper 3 year old. I began to make way out of the living room heading towards the kitchen when she grabbed my body turing me towards her. She stood on her tip-toes and kissed me again, this time it felt more romantic and firey. I let my hands travel up her waste to her face. I kissed her back cupping her small face in my hands. She parted from me and leaned her forhead against mine, her eyes buring into mine.

" Thank-you" She whispered and squickly slipped away heading to her bedroom to pack.

" Its the least i can do Lex" I whispered back to myself as a wave of guilt flooded over me.
