(Niall’s P.O.V.)

I was on the phone with Zayn.

“So, we’re gonna move in together....”

“That’s great man”

“Yeah....”

“So where are you guys gonna live?” 

“YES!” I heard someone whisper then shuffle away.

“We haven’t decided yet....” 

“Well, I gotta go. Someone’s been snooping....” I said laughing.

“Alright talk to you later man. Bye.” I hung up and went into our room. She was lying on her stomach while looking at something on the laptop. She was wearing super short shorts and and a really low cut tank top.

“You are the worst person in the world!”

“Love you too sweetie” she said winking at me. 

“So how long were you planning to snoop?” 

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” She said not looking away from the screen.

“What are you looking at?”

“Uhh....nothing, just on.......tumblr...” 

“Liar! What are you doing?” I went and jumped on top of her. She slammed the laptop shut. 

“No you can’t see!” We wrestled for the laptop, me winning. I opened it up and looked at it. 

“Why are you looking at houses?”

“No reason...” 

“Are you moving out?”

“No, no of course not”

“Then what’s with the houses?”

“Can I just have my laptop please?” she reached for it, but I wouldn’t give it to her. 

“Not until you tell me.” she sighed.

“When we were younger, Darrian, Paige and I used to sit around and talk about our dream houses, and where we were gonna live.” I looked at her. 

“You were looking at houses for Kalyn and Zayn weren’t you?” 

“Noooooo........”

“You are a horrible liar!” 

“Ok fine, I wanted them to have somewhere in the middle. They are just going to have problem’s deciding which house, and I can’t watch them fight.....”

“If that’s the case, then how come we didn’t meet in the middle?”

“Because if we did that, we’d be living in the middle of the ocean.....”

“Good point.” she nodded.

“I know that’s why I said it.”

“So, when are you going to bring your next album out?”

“Why?”

“Because 1, I wanna listen to it, and 2 I need to plan the days I’m gonna miss you.”

“Awww sweetie!” she leaned over and kissed my cheek. “I miss you when you go on tour.”

“I know, but it’s not the same...”

“How is not the same?”

“You’ve got all of these boys throwing themselves at you. At any moment you could leave here and never come back.”

“And you’ve got all of those girls throwing themselves at you. I wake up scared every moment you’re gone, that someday you’re gonna call me and tell me it’s over, because you’ve found some other chick.”

“But we know that’s not gonna happen.”

“How do you know?”

“because I am an internationally known. I could have any girl I want,”

“Is that supposed to make me feel better?”

“you didn’t let me finish...”

“Sorry.” she looked down at the bed.

“Anyways, I could have any girl I want, but I chose you.” I lifted her chin up. I stared into her eyes. I could see the tears coming in her eyes. “Hey hey hey, don’t cry.” I leaned in and kissed away the tears. “I love you so much you know that?” she nodded.

“Promise me you won’t leave, ever?” I grabbed her hand and held it up.

“You see that?” I said pointing towards the ring on her fingure. She nodded whipping away the tears. “That is the promise I made to you. I plan on keeping that forever.”

“You’re so good to me.”

“I love you that’s why.”

“But I-I......” I leaned in a kissed her without even letting her finish. 

“The only thing that matters, is that I love you, and you love me. There’s nothing more too it.” she buried head into my chest. “Don’t think that for a single second that I ever love anyone more then you.” 

“I love you”

“I love you too.” I kissed her forehead and pulled her in for a hug. 

(Syd’s P.O.V.)

We were laying on the bed snuggling. Niall holding me. 

“I miss you.” I said

“I’m right here.” 

“I know, but I feel like we don’t connect anymore. I miss us.”

“What do you mean?” I leaned over and kissed him.

“I miss those kids that were at my house sitting around the fire without a care in the world.”

“You mean when Harry tried chasing you around the neighborhood, and he couldn’t catch you even though you were running around on the tar barefoot.” I laughed.

“Yeah then, those were the good old days.”

“Back when we were 18 and immature.”

“Back when I wasn’t a famous popstar and I was living in a small town.” 

“I’m sorry love, and I know you miss home, but you’re going on tour in a few months, and all I can do is tell you that I love you.”

“I missed my brothers first day of school Niall. I missed my sisters first boyfriend, and my dad was gonna come all the way here and get me.”

“What?”

“Nothing, it was nothing.” 

“That is not nothing.” 

“It doesn’t matter, he can’t tell me to come home anyway. I’m 20 years old. I’m a grown woman.”

“I-”

“Niall you don’t have to say anything, just hug me and tell me that everything’s gonna be ok.” he hugged me so tight. We laid like that for a while, not saying anything, just enjoying each others company.
