It's been two weeks and the tour has been going great so far. As promised, Niall and I texted, called, and Skype called every day, even if it was late at night or early in the morning for one of us, we found a way to make it happen. He truly was the best boyfriend ever. Today is the day we both land in Arizona. Today is the day I get to see him again and be in his arms. My flight landed 5 hours ago and Niall's flight lands in two. I was hanging out with my family until I had to pick Niall up from the airport. It was an hour until noon and I left early so that I could be there when he lands and meet him at the terminal.

"I have to pick someone up at the airport mum. I'll be right back so you can meet them." I said to my mum and gave her a hug

"Alright Adelaide. I'll see you in a bit."

I hopped in my mums car, which she let me use, and drove to the airport. I parked the car and walked inside and waited at the terminal. About a half an hour later, I heard the announcer say that the passengers were getting off now. I stood up and began to look for Niall. I saw him and waved my arms. When he saw me, he dropped his bags and ran up to me, picking me up in a hug and spinning me around.

"Oh god, I missed you so much." I said as I began to cry. We walked back over to where he dropped his bags so he could pick them back up.

"I missed you too Addy baby." He picked up his bags and he followed me back out to the car. I opened the trunk so he could put his stuff in there. We stopped by the hotel so he could drop his stuff off and then we headed back to my parents house.

"You ready for this?" I asked him.

"Yea. Can't wait."

"And I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not." I laughed, still trying to pay attention to the road since I was still driving.

"Honestly. I'm nervous. What if they don't like me?"

"Baby, don't worry about that. They'll love you. Especially since you take such good care of me." I reassured him, making him calm down a bit.

"Ok."

"Here we are." I said as I pulled the car into the driveway. I walked over to him and took his hand, which was beginning to get a bit sweaty. "Baby relax. It'll be ok."

We walked up to the door and I rang the doorbell. My mum and dad stood there at the door.

"Mum, dad, this is my boyfriend, Niall. Niall, these are my parents."

"Nice to meet you son!" My dad exclaimed

"Adelaide talks about you all the time. She only speaks good about you. We've been dying to meet you for a while now. It's so good to finally meet you." My mum told him.

My dad shook his hand and noticed that it was a bit sweaty. "Wow that's quite a sweaty hand you've got there." My dad said.

"Oh, yea, it's a bit hot here." Niall said

"Babe, I think you're forgetting that it's Arizona we're in, it's gonna be hot." I added and everyone laughed at my comments, I surely did know how to lighten a mood and cheer Niall up.

We walked in and sat on the couch together. I sat on Niall's lap and my parents turned on a show then left the room and ran to the store. By the time they got back, it was 3 PM. My mum got the stuff for dinner out since it would take a while to get ready and prepped.

My parents walked back into the living room to see me and Niall cuddling.

"You two are so cute together." My mum said, making us blush.

"You really love her, don't you Niall?" My dad asked

"Eh. She's a'ight." Niall replies.

"Hey!" I gasped and hit his chest. He laughed at my actions.

"I'm just kidding baby. Your daughter means the world to me sir." Niall said, hugging me tighter.

After dinner my dad and Niall walked out of the room together, leaving me and my mum to clean up. I wonder what they could be talking about, I just hope it was good and I didn't have a broken hearted Niall to deal with.

Niall's POV

"Sir, I know we've only been dating for two months, but I know that Adelaide is the one for me. I don't have any plans on proposing soon because I like us the way we are right now, but I don't know when I'll see you again, so I want to ask for your blessing now. When the time is right, so I have your permission to marry your daughter and give her the best life she could have?" I asked Addy's father. I have never been this nervous in my entire life. My hands were sweaty and shaky and my throat was dry and my breathing became unsteady.

"Son, I can tell that you really love my daughter, and I can tell that she really loves you. I have seen how well you treat her and that you take such good care of her. It's going to be hard giving up my little girl, but Niall, I wouldn't want to give her to anyone else. So, yes, Niall. I give you permission to marry my daughter. But only when the time is right." He said this and my heart skipped a beat and a massive smile grew on my face and I know I looked like an idiot, but I didn't care.

"Thank you so much sir. I promise I will take the best care of her and treat her like nothing else matters, because to me, she is the only thing that truly matters. Sir, I love your daughter so much. And might I add, you did an amazing job raising her. She turned out great, perfect for that matter." And with that, we walked back inside and I hugged Addy in a tight hug.

"What was that for?" Addy asked

"Just because I love you. Ready to head back to the hotel?"

"Yea."

We said our goodbyes and returned to the hotel. yOnce we got there, we got snuggled up into our bed and dozed off for the night, seeing as Addy had a show tomorrow. I've finally found my princess. I wouldn't want anyone else to be my princess than the one and only Adelaide Celeste Smith. My princess.
