Love Me For Me (One Direction Fanfiction)

Out In Mullingar

°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~

Niall pulled up to a small shop. That looked like a restaurant/bar. Which wasn't surprising to me somehow. Hence, we are in Ireland. We both got out and he lead me inside, opening the door for me and walking in after. Niall picked a table near the middle and we sat looking at the menus.

"Wow, I haven't been here in ages." Niall said smiling as he looked around.

All around the restaurant, there were paintings, football memorabilia, of course some beer and alcohol related advertisements. It was a nice little place. I smiled admiring it.

"Ello dere. What can I get ye?" A tall man asked in a very thick irish accent.

"Can I get a pint and the breakfast platter?" Niall said quickly looking at the menu then up at the man whose name tag said Collin. Collin smiled and quickly wrote down Niall's order.

"Hm.. I'll have a breakfast plate as well, but I'd like some tea." I said smiling.

"Alright, I'll be right out with yer food." Collin said and walked away towards what I assumed was the kitchen.

"Gosh, I love these accents. I wish I had one." I said laughing a bit.

"My accent is the best out of all these people's." Niall laughed gesturing around the restaurant.

"Yep. Sure is." I said smiling.

"You really think so?" He asked smiling. I nodded.

The waiter, Collin, then walked back with our food. "Ere you both are." He smiled politely placing the plates and drinks on the table.

"Tanks." Niall said smiling and dug into his food. I began eating mine as well.

As we finished our food, someone walked over. I was used to this by now. She was smiling hugely once she saw Niall.

"H-hi...." She said, her voice shaking nervously.

"Hello, love." Niall smiled at her.

"C-can I..." She took a deep breath calming her nerves. "Can I get a picture?" She asked nervously.

"Of course!" Niall said smiling and stood up. "Babe, would you take it?" He asked me.

"Sure." I smiled at both of them and the girl handed me her phone with the camera app already pulled up. Niall wrapped an arm around her, hugging her and they both smiled. I pressed the button, taking the picture then handed the phone back. She looked at the picture and smiled hugely.

"Thanks!" She said happily. "Erm... This might be weird.. But could I get a picture with you too?" She asked looking at me.

I admit, I was a bit shocked. The fans never asked for pictures with me. I looked at Niall and he nodded smiling as if saying "Go ahead." . "Here, I'll take it." He said reaching out for her phone. She handed it over and stood next to me. We smiled and Niall quickly took the picture.

"Thank you so much! I love you guys!" She smiled, her long blonde ponytail swinging from side to side as she ran back to where her family was seated.

"Let's go. I want to show you around everywhere." Niall said excitedly. I smiled as he lead me out the door of the restaurant. He took my hand in his and walked down the street, leaving his car parked by the restaurant.

As we walked, I couldn't help but notice all the scenery. It was amazing. If you could fall in love with a town, then that's exactly what happened. It was truly a beautiful place. I found myself smiling. After walking around the town, he lead me to a park along a river, it was stunning. We sat on a bench looking out at the water. The ripples slowly spread across the water caused by the slight breeze.

"It's beautiful here." I whispered smiling as I lay my head on his shoulder. His arm wrapped around my shoulders, keeping me close.

"Like you." He said smiling.

"Chat up lines. You don't need to use those." I laughed. He shrugged.

"But it's true."

We sat there in a comfortable silence, admiring the scenery around us.

After a while, I started getting a little sleepy and couldn't help but let out a small yawn.

"Sleepy?" Niall guessed looking over at me. I nodded.

"Yea. Just a little." I said and another yawn escaped.

"Let's go." He said standing and reaching his hand out. I gladly took it and stood smiling as he lead me back to where his car was still parked.

We both got into the car and Niall drove off back towards his house. I started falling asleep in the passenger seat and didn't realize we were home until I felt someone picking me up. My eyes opened slightly, enough to see Niall carrying me into the house. As he walked, my eyes fell heavy and I fell back asleep with my head resting on his shoulder.

~**Niall POV**~

She fell asleep with her head on my shoulder as I took her to the room she was staying in. I couldn't help but smile. After all this time and all the fans who we always meet, you would think I'd fall for one of them. But no, I fell for the girl who hadn't ever heard of us before. The girl who didn't use me for my fame. The girl who wasn't with me for any other reason besides the fact that she truly loved me for me.

I reached the room and laid her carefully on the bed trying not to wake her. Covering her with the blanket, I smiled as she cuddled into the sheets and placed a kiss on her forehead before walking downstairs to sit with Greg who was currently watching the football match.

"Hey, what's up little bro?" Greg smiled as I sat next to him.

"Not much. Just got back with Bryttanie. She's asleep right now, so don't yell like you always do." I chuckled. Every time his team got a goal, he would jump out of his seat and shout doing a victory dance.

"Fine." He laughed. "You really care about her don't you, Nialler?" He asked after a while, turning serious.

"Yea." I smiled. "She's not like everyone else. She loves me for who I am and not what I am. If it were any other girl, they'd only be with me for the fame. But, Bryttanie isn't like that." I explained turning to look at my older brother. He nodded smiling.

"I'm happy for you, mate. She's a keeper. I'm best man when you two get married." He laughed.

"Either way, you'd be my best man." I smiled laughing along, but was completely serious about what I had said.

"Glad we're on the same page.... Ooh! GOAL!!!" Greg yelled jumping up as his team kicked the ball into the goal.

"GREG!" I laughed.

"Oh! Sorry.." He smiled like a little kid who had just gotten in trouble and sat back on the couch. I just laughed.

We continued to watch the game like we had always done with out father when we were younger. It gave me a sense of normalcy away from the whole crazy "celebrity" life.
