Cleo's P.O.V

I take the gift and thank him. The box contains cute pajamas with matching fuzzy slippers, and new mittens that I needed very badely. At the bottom of the box I spot a velvet case with a beautiful diamond necklace in it.

"What's wrong? Do you not like the gifts?" Niall asks.

"I love them." I dab the corners of my eyes with the cloth napkin. "But I couldn't afford to buy you anything and I feel like I don't deserve a gift since I couldn't get you one." I sigh, sniffling making sure I don't cry.

"As long as you have me and I have you, I don't need anything else. Why do you feel obligated to buy me anything? I'm fine, baby." He leaves money on the table, so we can head home.

On the way home Niall takes my hand and drives with one hand on the wheel.

"I. love. you. very. very. much." He pecks kisses to the inside of my palm, knowing that makes me giggle from me being ticklish there.

"I have one more gift for you, but first I have to drop you off at home, then I have go get the gift." Niall says to me as his eyes are locked on the road, still having my small hand over his mouth.

As soon as I get dropped off, I hop in the shower and quickly make myself smell like sweet citrus and flowers. The razor bumps are covered in makeup and thankfully aren't noticeable anymore. I put on a the gift that Niall bought me a few months ago since I've never worn it.

I don't really wear lingerie.

It's a deep red silk see-throughish short loose dress. The sleeves are thinner than a tank top strap and I think I feel sexy for once. I  go into the bathroom and put my hair in a ponytail, but I put my robe on whenever Niall calls me downstairs to give me my other gift.

"Oh my God! Snowball!" I sweep her off of the floor and cuddle her small furry body against my robe. Niall explained to me the situation that got the cats mixed up. I'm extremely happy, this day is going to be great.

Hopefully.

Piper and Harry say that they want to play with Snowball, signaling for me to go take Niall upstairs.

"I was in bathroom and I think something is wrong with the faucet. Can you try to see if you can fix it?" I think of whatever pops into my head first and say it. I suck at being seductive, but I'll try to be tonight.

"Thanks you for finding Snowball. It really means a lot." He nods and walks into the bathroom, now is my chance. Dammit, he didn't even close the door all the way. I grab the key to the bathroom and lock him inside. The key to get inside the bathroom makes it very hard to get out.

I close and lock the room door quietly, then grab the tea light candles that were in a cabinet. I grab a lighter after I spread out all fourty-seven candles, making sure they aren't by anything flammable or too close to the bed. The red rose petels match my outfit perfectly, I toss them on the floor and on the bed.

I hear him messing with the door handle.

I turn the light off and let the candles be our light, I quickly use my inhaler, then put it underneath the pillow and lay in the middle of the neatly made bed.

"Why did you lock me in the ba- wow.." Niall drops his jaw and raises his eyebrows.

"Happy Valentine's day, baby." I say as I smile with a slight smirk to him whenever he comes over to me. I probably look dumb.
