Black And White : A Niall Horan Fanfiction

41.

Niall and I had decided to go to brunch after we were kicked out the living room by Tyler. I knew a small café just down the road that barely ever had more than 7 people there at once. I stole a clean black t-shirt from my dad's draw and given it to Niall to wear because he had begged me to keep his t-shirt on even out in public. I couldn't resist his puppy dog eyes that he made so I agreed and went to brunch in his t-shirt.

We walked hand in hand down the street. Niall explained to me how hard it is working on the album. He said they had to get up at about 7 every morning, go straight to the studio to record and write songs and they finish at around 10 at night. I felt awful for him and the rest of the band. They didn't get many breaks.

"This is it," I said, pointing to the small café. The outside walls were painted a baby blue with a navy banner hanging from the over hand roof top. In white writing it said Teddy's café. I had been friends with Teddy for a long time and he often let me have food for free.

"Lily, how are you. Long time no sea!" Teddy shouted from inside the café. He looked at Niall with a surprised look and gave me a wink. I laughed and shook my head at him.

"Niall this is my good friend Teddy. This is his café," I told Niall. They shook hands but Teddy couldn't stop himself from bursting out into laughter.

"I'm sorry I just can't believe Lily is dating someone as famous as you," he managed to push out between laughs.

"Thanks," I said blankly and took Niall's hand. I led him inside to the small table in the corner. It was a 2 person table, with a flower in a glass, salt and pepper, 2 menus and the table number in the middle of it.

"Sorry about-" I began to apologise but Niall cut me off.

"It's OK. Don't worry about it."

He didn't seem to bothered and that made me happy. I hated seeing him annoyed or angry or upset.

Niall picked up a menu and began scanning his eyes across it. I didn't bother picking up a menu, I already knew what I wanted.

I watched Niall as he looked closely at the menu. His eye brows pulled together as he tried to decide what to get.

"So, what can I get you?" Teddy asked. I looked away from Niall and focused on him.

"I'll have the creamy Blueberry Baked french toast and an iced tea please," I said to him. He rolled his eyes and said "I should've known," under his breath.

"Can I please have a slice of banana bread, some chocolate chip waffles, a portion of pancakes with syrup and a coffee please," Niall said and raised his head from the menu.

I chuckled slightly at his big order and he made a pouty face. I stuck my tongue out at his a tiny bit and he smiled.

"Coming right up," Teddy said just as he finished scribbling the final bit of Niall's order. He turned on his heal and walked away towards the kitchen.

"So is Tyler having a party tonight?" Niall asked randomly as we walked out the cafe. Teddy had let us have our meal for free even though Niall's order was so big. I was stuffed full with blueberry French Toast and iced tea.

I sighed, "Yeah, I need to call Liv and ask if I can stay at hers tonight."

"You can stay at mine if you want. I don't go back to work until Tuesday so I still have tomorrow free," he suggested and looked at me.

"Are you sure? Liv would be perfectly fine with me staying at hers."

"I know she would but I want you to stay at mine. Pretty please. For me," Niall asked. I looked over at him and he was doing his puppy eyes that he knew I couldn't refuse. I rolled my eyes and nodded my head. He smiled and kissed me.

"I need your address," I said before I forgot and pulled away from the kiss. Suddenly it hit me that I'd never actually been to Niall's house before.

What wil it be like? How clean will it be? Will it smell as good as he smells? What's the furniture like?

Niall grabbed his phone out his pocket and texted me his address. Even though we were right next to eachother he still wrote I love you at the end of the message.

"I love you too," I said and wrapped my fingers around his. We stayed like that all the way back to my house.

"I need to go back home and clear up a bit before you come round later. Is that OK?" Niall asked when we reached my gate.

"OK. Give me a kiss first," I said and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Of course I will," he replied and pushed his wonderful lips to mine. My eyes shut and I stood on my tip toes to get a little taller.

"I love you," I said as I pulled my lips off his for air. He kissed my forehead before replying, "I love you aswell."

I waited until his car was fully out of site before opening my gate and walking down my drive towards my house. I was already thinking of what to wear to Niall's that evening.
