I felt like i was waiting in the air port for what felt like ages, my legs relentlessly bouncing up and down and i couldn't stop biting my nails. Why was i so anxious? I've known Niall my whole life and have greeted him home from tour over 20 times, but this time was different.
This time i wasn't just welcoming home my best friend but the person i'm head over heels in love with.
I was shaken from my thoughts when i herd over the speaker that his plane had landed, my heart sank to my stomach and i felt like i was going to throw up. I stood up balancing on my tippy toes looking over countless heads waiting to see their loved ones come off the plane for them to greet them with their arms wide open. 

Finally i spotted my blond haired, blue eyed best friend come walking my way. I could feel the smile growing on my face the closer he got, i couldn't help but run up to him. He soon noticed me running towards him and a huge smile grew on his face and he dropped all this stuff and held his arms wide open.
I ran into his arms holding him tight as we stood their hugging each other for minuets, i kept my head nuzzled into his neck taking in the smell of his cologne and the feeling of his arms wrapped tightly around me.

We both pulled away from the hug Niall gave me one of his breath taking smiles, "I've missed you" i said with a giant grin on my face. Niall chuckled "i've missed you too", he grabbed his bags and swung an arm around me "lets go i'm starving" i laughed as Niall and i made our way out of the air port, i was smart enough that i parked in the back parking lot so no paps or fans would see us.

On the car ride home Niall told me all about his tour and all the fun times with the boys, he was so adorable when talking about tour and the boys and all the places he's been and things he's gotten to experience i was genuinely so happy for him. 
We pulled up to my flat that i had moved into a month ago Niall hadn't seen it yet since he was on tour but i told him he was more than welcome to stay with me in the guest bedroom while he was in London for the week.

"El this place is awesome" he said as we walked inside putting his bags down. I smiled looking around the place "Yeah i clean up pretty good" i giggled as i walked over to the kitchen pulling out stuff to make both Niall and i a sandwich. 
"Whoa where did you get these bad boys" Niall said walking towards the three vintage guitars that i had hanging on the wall.
"My dad found them at some pawn shop and i needed to add to my collection" i chuckled, i've been writing my own music for five years now and i've landed a really great job at a recording studio where i help produce some up in coming artists and their music.

Niall smiled at me showing off this beautiful teeth, he planted himself on the couch turning on the TV to the golf channel. I couldn't help but roll my eyes all the boy does is watch golf, eat and play is guitars. I finished making us our sandwiches and walked over handing Niall his.
"Thanks babe" i stopped in my tracts when Niall called me babe, he's never called me that before, i've always dreamed that he would but now that he did i couldn't help but feel my heart start to beat out of my chest.
I raised an eyebrow at him as his face started to grow bright red, i think he realized when he just said, i giggled taking the spot next to him "no problem love" i said making us both erupt in laughter. 

Later that night Niall and i stayed up watching movies and catching up about life and he was giving me all the deets about Harry and Louis relationship and how the boys have been helping them cover their asses so management doesn't catch anything. I reached over grabbing my phone from the coffee table, "Holy 11:30 already.. i should get to sleep i have to work in the morning" i told Niall collecting all my things.

I watched as he let out a long yawn, "Yeah i should too i'm pretty jet lagged " he said standing in front of me. We both stood there staring at each other not saying anything, i couldn't help but stick my tongue out at him laughing when he cocked an eyebrow at me.
"Well Nialler goodnight and sleep tight" i said as we went our separate ways to our rooms,
"GOODNIGHT SMELLY ELLEY" Niall shouted from his room, i let out a laugh before closing my bedroom door slightly and climbing into bed.
