The Only One I Want - A Niall Horan Story

Chapter Eight - Cuddles And Sad News

I woke up at 8 AM. I checked my phone to see a text from Niall.

Niall: Good morning baby. Hope you slept well last night.

Addy: Morning. I did. I hope you slept well.

Niall: I did.

Addy: What are you doing today?

Niall: Nothing. You?

Addy: Nothing

Addy: Wanna come to my place?

Niall: Sure. We could go out for dinner later if you want.

Addy: Sure. Sounds like fun. What time are you coming? I need a shower haha

Niall: I'll head over in 30 minutes, is that good?

Addy: Sure, works for me. See you then :)

Niall: Alright baby, see you soon :)

I hopped in the shower and took time to wash my hair and skin. I hopped out and got dressed in a T-shirt and sweats. I put my hair up in a messy bun. I was feeling a bit insecure since this was Niall's first time seeing me without makeup on. I heard my phone ring, so I went to the other room to pick it up. It was my manager. I wonder what he could want.

"Hello?"

"Hi Adelaide."

"Hey, what's up?"

"We're setting up a tour for you. You will leave in a month and be gone for three months."

"What?! Don't you think I would like more of a heads up than just a month."

"Well what could you have to do that would take more than a month?"

"I don't know, spend time with my boyfriend! Say goodbye to my friends!"

"Ok, just calm down. You have one month. You'll leave on July 21."

And with that he ended the call. I turned around and saw NIall. He must have let himself in with his spare key.

"What was that about?"

"My manager."

"Oh. What did he want?"

"He told me he set up a tour for me. I leave in a month and will be gone for three months."

"Oh."

"I'm sorry."

"Why? You've done nothing wrong."

"I know, but those were months that I was supposed to spend with you. Remember how we talked about spending a couple days at the beach. And how we wanted to go to Ireland for a few days."

"Hey, we can do that any time, ok? Just go and have fun on tour and we'll go on those trips when you get back. And I'll be sure to visit you on tour, ok?"

"Ok." I sighed. I didn't want to go, but I know I had to. Leaving him would be so hard, especially since we're just at the beginning of our relationship.

"It'll be ok. I promise." He assured me. That made me feel a bit better, but I still didn't want to go.

We decided to cuddle and watch the tely for a bit. We laid down and put on The Titanic. I didn't stay awake for long, I didn't make it to the halfway point of the movie. I fell asleep in Niall's arms and laid there peacefully until the movie was over. I felt him planting soft kisses on the top of my head. He was saying my name, so he was probably trying to wake me up.

"Addy, baby, wake up." I slowly opened my eyes and looked up at him. "There's those beautiful brown eyes." I smiled at his compliment and just yawned and adjusted my head to face the tely again. He just chuckled at my actions. "Wanna go out for ice cream?"

"Mmm, sure." I said, still half asleep.

"Alright, lets go then."

"Ok, let me get my shoes on." I said, yawning again.

I walked back out of my room with my shoes on. We headed out the door to the ice cream shop. I decided on mint oreo while Niall settled with triple chocolate. We walked out of the ice cream shop with our ice cream cones in our hands.

"So, your tour." Niall started up a conversation.

"Yea, what about it?"

"When do you leave?"

"July 21."

"So you're not going to miss our one month?"

"Of course not. I wouldn't leave if that were the case."

"Yes you would."

"Um, no, I wouldn't. I would leave the day after."

"Alright, I give up, you win. So, what do you wanna do now?"

"Well, it looks like it's gonna rain, so we should probably head back to my flat."

"And what about dinner?"

"Oh shit, dinner, that's right."

"It's ok, we can make something at your place or order something."

"I'm sorry, I know you wanted to go out tonight."

"Hey, no, it's ok. Any time I spend with you is worth it. So how about we cook something? It'll be fun."

"Sure, sounds like fun."

"What do you wanna make then?"

"Lets make spaghetti."

"Ah, spaghetti. Your favorite meal."

"Yep."

"Alright, spaghetti it is."

We got back to my flat just in time. It started to rain right as we walked up to the entrance. We walked into my flat and decided to watch a movie since it was still a couple hours until dinner. I heard a knock at the door, so I decided to answer the door. It was Livie.

"Hey Livie, how's it going?"

"Good. I just wanted to spend some time with- oh. I see you already have someone over."

"Oh, yea, Niall's been here all day. You can come in if you want."

"No, it's ok, I'll just go back to my flat. You guys have fun."

"Alright. I'll spend time with you tomorrow while Niall's at work, ok? I've got something to tell you and the girls anyway."

"Ok, bye Addy."

"Bye Livie."

I closed the door and returned to the couch with Niall. After the movie we decided to make dinner. I have a really good recipe for spaghetti, so I pulled that out and we started cooking. I started making the sauce while Niall cooked the noodles. Once Niall finished the noodles, he placed them on the table with two plates and forks. He walked over to me and tried to taste the sauce, but I swatted his hand away before he could.

"Hey, you're gonna regret that." He said as he came up behind me and started tickling my sides. I started to laugh as he tickled me, I turned the heat off of the burner so the sauce didn't burn. After many attempts to get him to stop, I finally threw a spoonful of sauce at his white T-shirt. He looked down at his shirt with his mouth open.

"Hey! This is a new shirt!" He yelled at me

"Well maybe you should have stopped, eh?" I playfully yelled back

He grabbed the spoon full of sauce and started chasing me with it. I ran all around my flat when he finally caught me and spread the sauce all over my T-shirt. We both had sauce everywhere, it was on our clothes and in our hair and on our faces. We decided to clean up and then eat dinner. I made Niall wait while I took a shower. After dinner, I had Niall stay and spend the night at my flat because it was storming outside and I didn't want him walking home in the rain, so I suggested he stayed, so he did. I fell asleep in his arms and we slept together peacefully in my bed that night.
