London

Chapter 2- A Nice Night

"Well, looks like it's just me and you...." I told Niall.

"Yeah, let me give you a tour real quick..." He said, smiling.

"Sounds good." I replied.

Me and Niall toured the house, including the backyard, and then he was just about to show me his room, when Maura pulled me aside. "Honey, I just thought that since y'all are getting married, that maybe you could share a room?....." She stated.

Geez, I had barely seen him for five minutes and now I'm sharing a room with him, great. I turned back to Niall, looked at him, and said, "I guess.... We are rooming together...".

Maura said, "Great, see you guys later."

Niall led me up to his room, well, I guess our room now. I gasped when I saw it, it was great. A big California king sized bed, a huge walk in closet, and a massive bathroom. His room had three dressers, two couches, and a huge 80" flat screen tv. There even was another little room attached to his, I guess it was used for storage or something.

"Oh... My... Gosh! This is amazing! This is your room?!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, you like?" Niall asked.

"Yes. It's beautiful!" I said.

"Hey, how bout I take you dinner? It's already six?" Niall asked. looking at his watch.

"Sure. I'll go get ready." I replied.

"Great." Niall smiled.

Niall told me that I could unpack my stuff into the empty space in the closet and empty dresser, so I did that before getting ready.

Niall went downstairs for a while to leave me some privacy. I walked over to the closet, picked out a golden, sparkly, knee-length cocktail dress with some black pumps, and some golden earrings.

I kept my hair the same, straightened, touched up my makeup, and grabbed a black clutch. When I came out of the bathroom, I opened the door and walked down the stairs. Niall looked at me as I looked at him in a white t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and a simple tuxedo jacket.

"Wow, you look gorgeous!" He exclaimed.

"Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself, Horan." I replied with a smile.

He linked arms with me, as we walked out of the house and he opened the passenger door to his car for me to get in.

"Thank you." I simply stated, getting while he circled around and got in as well.

"You're welcome." He said, starting up the car.

When we got to the restaurant, he helped me out of the car, and we got lead to our table and sat down.

"Lets play 21 questions..." He said.

"Ok, go." I replied.

It turned out to be more like 500 questions. We ate, and then spent 2 hours talking and catching up, asking questions, and finding things in common, we had more things in common than I expected. When we left, he held my hand politely and lead me to the car. We talked a little more and discovered how much he can make me laugh.

You know what's weird? I felt like I knew him for ages, but I sorta did. We said goodnight to his Mom, and I went upstairs to get ready for bed. Niall stayed downstairs in the kitchen getting something out of the fridge.

When I walked out of the bathroom, Niall was laying on the bed holding a pint of ice cream and 2 spoons, "Ice cream?" He asked.

"Yes, please!" I said.

"So, what do you think about the arranged marriage?" I asked him.

"I'm kind of excited about it actually, but it shouldn't be this awkward. We used to be so close, inseparable. I just felt bad when I moved, and my Mom didn't like it either. I tried to date other people, but it never worked out. It always got me thinking of you." He said.

"Well, I'm glad that you feel this way, I was scared that you didn't really care for me anymore." I said.

"No. I'm really excited that you're here and back in my life." He said, sending me a soft smile.

I jumped on the bed beside him and we ate our ice cream together. I fell asleep on the bed, and I guess he did too. Next thing I know, he was waking me up.

"Wake up, breakfast will be ready soon." Niall told me, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"K." I replied with a yawn, earning chuckle from Niall.

He went back downstairs, leaving the door open just a crack. I got out of bed and took a quick shower and dressed in some black yoga pants, a pink t-shirt, and some silver tennis shoes. I blow dried my hair and put it in a ponytail with a headband.

When I got downstairs, Maura came up, hugged me, and said, "We have to go shopping today, girlie!"

"Yay, shopping!" I replied back. I hate shopping. This'll be fun...

So me, Niall, and his parents ate together and talked, and then me and Maura were off to go scan the stores.

"Well." I told Niall, and then sighed, "Looks like we are going shopping..."

"Good luck." He said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked him.

"That she literally shops till she drops..." He said.

"Lexi, honey, I'm gonna go start the car." Maura said.

"Ok, I'll be out in a minute." I replied as she walked outside.

"Ok, bye." I said to Niall, laughing as he kissed my cheek, and said, "Bye, I'll see you when you get back." I started blushing, he knew it too, smiling as I walked away.

Me and Maura got in her car, and she said, "So, how's it going with you two?"

"Good." I said, sending her a bright smile.
