Christmas With Niall Horan | N.H. | 1D |

Chapter 6

When we finally walked into Nandos I realised how hungry I actually was. "Welcome to Nandos, what can I get you?" was the first thing a waitress said to me but I had never been in Nandos, so I really didn't have a clue what to get, so I quickly looked at the menu card when Niall ordered for me instead "Why did you do that?" I asked him slightly annoyed.

"Well I thought you'd never had Nandos before so I ordered the best thing on the menu" He explained to me and that was actually pretty nice of him, gone was my annoyance. "Thank you I guess" I smiled at him "So how did you meet your friends?" He asked, totally jumping on another subject.

"I write stories on a site called wattpad and that's where I met them" I told him and that made his eyes light up but I didn't know what it meant. "So you write fan fiction?" I nodded and quickly explained that was not all I did.

"Yes I do but I also write teen fiction" I added not wanting him to think I was some weird person but he didn't seem to think that as he responded normally. "Ah that's cool" He smiled at me. "I do really like it" I nodded in agreement. We continued making small talk whilst eating our dinner. "You really don't recognize me do you?" he asked out of the blue. I looked at him again "no should I?" I asked him confused.

"Yeah you actually should and it's a bit weird that you don't know me" He said with a smile but there wasn't any judgement in his answer so I thought he was joking around.

"Cocky much" I grinned and he pushed my shoulder slightly "Why is it so important that I recognise you?" I asked and that's when his smile reached his eyes. "It's not, it's kind of refreshing that you don't know who I am" He said with warmth in his voice and that made me smile but it also confused the hell out of me. This did make me really curious and I really needed to know who he was but something in his expression made me not grab my phone to look him up. I think he is someone famous but that's really not important to me because I don't look at people's status.

"Do you want some dessert or can we go home?" He asked me and I shook my head because I was actually really full by now and I really wanted to decorate that awesome tree.

"We should probably head home as we have a tree to decorate" I said to him and he nodded in agreement. "Yeah let's go" he said whilst quickly getting up from his seat, running towards the counter to pay, that bastard but sweet bastard.

"Thank you for your visit Niall" he saluted and walked towards me. He grabbed my hand in his and pulled me towards our car. "You should really stop paying for everything you know," I said to him but he shrugged "I have the money so why not use it" He said but that didn't sit well with me as I am not some gold digger and I actually can pay for myself.

"Well I'm not some kind off gold-digger" I said offended and he noticed it straight away as he held up his hands in surrender. "Whoa, I never said you were" he interrupted me and I was biting my tongue "Thank you for paying then" I said sarcastically and he smiled at that. He brought my hand towards his mouth and pressed a kiss on top of it. This made my mouth fall wide open as I was staring at our hands, which he entwined.

We got into the car and drove back to our cottage and by now it was snowing heavily. We quickly unloaded the car and went inside. I looked for the ideal place to put the tree whilst Niall was lighting the fireplace. "Be careful," I said to him "I will, don't worry" he answered back without looking at me.

I had found the perfect spot to place the tree and whilst I was busy he was still trying to get the fire started and it was quite funny to watch as he was really struggling "Do you need a hand?" I asked teasingly and he was mumbling by now "Jeez I was just asking" I giggled.

I turned my attention back to the tree and started to put the light in it. I really hated this part because the lights were never cooperating. Within 5 minutes I was entangled with the lights and I heard laughter coming from behind me. "Do you need a hand" he was throwing back my words at me "Think of something more original next time Niall" I said frustrated.

After 15 minutes I finally had put in the lights and now it was time for the decorations. "Niall are you done with that fire?" I asked him from behind the tree.

"Yes I Am" he said way more closer then I had expected. "Will you help my put up the decorations?" I asked him pointing towards the box with the decorations.

"Yeah sure" he said. "Will you do the garlands?" I asked him because that was also something I didn;t like to do, as my tree at home was always a mess. "Sure but you have to do the balls." I was fine with that, as we started, he had put on Michael Bublé, which made it even more Christmassy. We spend an hour on decorating the tree, this was only because he kept putting the decoration on himself and we were making funny pictures whilst dancing. In the meantime we grabbed ourselves some tea and took a break by the fireplace. It was quite nice.

Again I felt his eyes on me, this time I looked back at him. "What?" I asked and he just smiled at me "You're just pretty and I like to watch pretty women" he said causing me to blush again. This time I was lucky that we were sitting by the fire, so he couldn't see that I was blushing because of him.

"Let's finish the tree and call it a night, shall we?" I asked him and he agreed. We quickly finished the tree and walked towards the staircase. He let me pass but I wasn't falling for that because I know he just wanted to check out my butt. "No you go first this time Niall" He laughed and walked past me. He stopped next to his bedroom door. I did the same. We turned around towards each other at exact the same time. "I had fun today thanks"

"Same goes for me" he said back and I couldn't help but smile at him. "Good night Niall"

"Good night love" he said back and before I could open my door he pulled me into a hug. We stood there for at least 3 minutes before he let me go and he leaned forwards kissing me on the cheek after that he turned around and walked into his bedroom leaving me standing there in the hallway with my hand on my cheek.
