Niall was in America to finish the second leg of the American tour, you were home alone again for 1 month until he comes back home to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve with his family and you.

You spent all day at work, thinking about him. Timezones were killing you and him because you both have such a short time to talk before you go to sleep or he going on stage.

You were sleeping peacefully on your bed, 3:00am on the clock and the room dark and silent. Well, it was until your phone woke you up.

Groaning, you took the little object and after your eyes adapted to the sudden light that has blinded you for a second, you could see a text from Niall.

“Are you sleepin’ baby girl?” You smiled because you love the nicknames he has for you. Even after all these years he can still manage to make you blush.

“Not anymore” You texted back. Within a few seconds Niall called you.

“Sorry I woke yeh up babe”

“Don’t worry. What’s up? How is Vegas treating you?” you said leaning back to the bed.

“It’s awesome here, but I can’t sleep”

“Why not?” you asked frowning

“Jet lag” he simply said.

It wasn’t brand new information for you. Since you and Niall started dating, you’ve got used to help him with his sleeping problems.

When he was back in home, the only thing you had to do was play big spoon with him and play with his hair for a few minutes, but it was difficult to do that when he was thousands of miles away from you. It makes you sad because you know how hard it is for him to go to sleep without you.

“Try to go back to bed, I’ll think of something to help you sleep” you said.

“Okay”

You heard over the phone the sound of the bed cracking and the moves he made until he was under of the sheets.

“Any ideas babe?” he said with a tired tone after a deep sigh.

“I can tell you about my boring meeting with my boss today at work” you suggested.

“I don’t think it would work love.” Niall giggled. You love his giggle it could make you smile even the miles apart. He's always making you happy and laughing your ass off, that's another thing you loved about Niall.

“Well, it works for me so it must be effective.”

“Next idea” he said still laughing.

“I can sing you a bedtime lullaby”

“Yeh know some?” he asked.

“Ehm… I know one but not the lyrics, but I can hum it for you”

Niall laughed.

“Okay, I’m ready”

You started humming a song your mom used to sing to you when you were younger. Half the song you heard Niall giggling so you stopped humming.

“I thought you will be already sleeping Ni! What’s so funny?”

“Nothing love, it’s just that I feel like a little baby”

“Well, the point is that you sleep like one so it’s working.” you laughed.

Niall laughed and yawned before telling you to keep going. A few minutes passed before you could hear little snores coming from the other side of the line, telling you that Niall was already sleeping.

“I love you baby, goodnight” you whispered and hung up the phone. 

You cannot wait for Niall to get back home again, not long now.
