Niall Horan Imagines

14. "I Love You"

        "Hey babe.  What's up?"  Your boyfriend of 7 months, Niall asks over the phone and you can hear him turn down the t.v.

        "Hey." You sigh.  "i just had the worst day at work, and now I'm exhausted!"  You climb into your car, switching from your phone to an earpiece so you can talk and drive.

        "Tell me about it." Niall urges.

        So for the next 10-15 minutes you tell about what happened at work.

        "That's terrible." He comments.  "So I take it your not up to going out tonight?"

        "O my gosh!  I totally forgot!  I am so sorry. I-"

        "Hey.  Hey." Niall interrupts.  "It's fine.  Don't worry about it."

        "But-," you start to protest.

        "Why don't you just come over and hang out and I'll order takeout or something."

        "Would you?" You ask, relieved.

        "Absolutely!"

        "Thanks, that sounds like what I need.  I'll be there in 20 minutes, give or take."

        "Okay.  Just let yourself in."

~20 minutes later~

        "Niall, I'm here!" You call to him as you let yourself into his flat.

        "Hey!"  He comes down the hall with a smile and arms wide for a hug. 

        "Hey!  What's that delicious smell?" You wonder aloud, wrapped in his embrace.

        "Come on, I'll show you."  He drops arms and takes your hand, dragging you to the kitchen, where you the source of the wonderful smell.  In one pan there's some cut chicken frying, in another there's a mixture of vetetables, and you peak in the pot and see rice.

        "This looks amazing!  Thank you.  I know you could have just ordered takeout." you exclaim.  He gives you an embarrassed smile and picks up a wooden spoon that was lying on the counter next to the stove. 

        He shrugs and turns his back to you to the stove and stirs the vegetables.  "You're welcome."  You come up behind and hug him.

        "I can't wait to try it, but you didn't have to do this for me."  You look up and see him shaking his head.

        "Stop." You hear a hint of exasperation in his voice.  "I wanted to.  I love you."  You still.  Had you heard him right?  He loves you?  You let go and he turns to face you, he has a shocked expression on his face, like he hadn't even relized he loved you until he had said it.

        "You love me?" You ask breathlessly.

        "I love you."  He repeats, eyes serious and locked on yours.

        "I love you too." You say, still breatless.

         Suddenly he's grinning and picking you up and spinning you about laughing and shouting.  "Woo!"  His joy contagious, you laugh too.  Finally he sets you down and kisses you.  You wrap your arms around his neck, forgetting everything except the feel of his lips on yours; until you notice the notice the smell of the cooking food.

        "Niall!' You say breaking away.  "The food!"

        "Oops!" He gives you a sheepish smile and giving you a quick kiss, he tends the food.

        You two have a lighthearted evening, revelling in your mutal love for each other.

Hey guyyyyyyysss.

        So I really hoped you enjoyed that.  I've had this idea in my head for a while now, so getting it all down was really satisfying.  See you soon!  Byeeeeee!
