Listening to Niall

39- Christmas morning

Niall noticed the big smile on Shannon's face and turned to see what triggered it.
"Jamie" His eyes went a little wide as he saw me standing there "come here I want you to meet Shannon" He extended his hand to me.
"Hi" I smile and offer her a little wave from where I was refusing to come any closer.
"Hello Jamie nice to finally meet you" Her voice was like velvet, so soothing and clear.
"Umm, yeah.. same here.. ahh Ni I think I'm gonna go" I say pointing with two fingers to the exit.
"Wait why? I'll come with" He took a step towards me.
"No it's fine, you stay, have fun with your friends"
"No I'll come with" He looked back to say goodbye to Shannon
"Stay and talk to me Horan, she said it's fine" Shannon smirked
"Sure" I give her a stiff smile and walk away.
It is amazing how many thoughts were flying through my head.
I know Niall loves me, but I also know how infatuated he was with Shannon two years ago, and quite frankly I can see why.
I decide to walk around the house and not cut through so I wont bump in to any of Niall's friends, not feeling up to talking.
Instead I take out my phone and call Eleanor.
"If you're calling me on Christmas eve this late something must be wrong" She said
"Guess who I just met" I tell her trying to keep my voice calm.
"Who? Tell me"
"Shannon" I look up to the cold and dark sky trying to control my shameful tears. I shouldn't be feeling so vulnerable, and I should be trusting Niall's state of love to me, but I just couldn't help myself.
"Is she anything like he said?" She asked
"Yes and much more, gosh El, she is a freaken superstar with her hair and dress"
"Ha.. well so what? he's with you now" Eleanor reminded me
"Yes I know, but I found them talking outside and Niall looked a little startled seeing me standing there"
"That doesn't mean anything, don't get worked up over it love" She is trying to keep me positive.
"You're right.." I sigh "I guess I just needed to hear it from someone"
"Well I'm glad you called, I'll see you tomorrow" She blew me a kiss
"Love to Louis" I say and hang up.
I cross the street making my way back to Niall's home.
I walk in and decide to make myself a cup of tea.
I sit down resting my elbows on the counter top when Martin walks in.
"Thought I might find you here" He sits opposite me.
"Yeah, I sort of had enough so I decided to come back here" I smiled, cupping the mug in both hands.
"Shannon got you running hey?" He leaned back on the chair.
"Not quite, but she is intriguing ain't she?"
"She is, all the boys and girls watch her when she enters a room" Martin laughed softly "But you have nothing to worry about"
"I hope not" I winked "It's just I didn't think of her being there"
"Well they do have the same friends" he pointed out
"Well yes but it didn't use to be that way, she is younger"
"Niall loves you, you know that right?"
"I do, but she did break his heart the way it all went down between them. He always felt as if she never gave him the chance he deserved.."
"That doesn't mean he wonders about it now once he saw her again, he has seen her since"
"Well yeah.. but.. I don't know.. I suppose I'm just being jealous that's all" I rest my chin in my palm looking into Martin's brown eyes.
"Truth is I didn't really get the dirt about them, all I know they were supposed to go out and then they didn't and he mopped for six months."
"She was snogging a different boy in front of him at the party he took her to" I let him in, wondering how come he hasn't heard of this before.
"She did that? wow" Martin was gobsmacked by that "Then he would never think of going out with her again"
"Well, he was in love with for over a year before he decided to ask her out, you know her being the sister of one of his close friends and all, and then once he found the courage to ask her out she did that, he was gated"
"Well everyone knows she's a player, he should have never asked her out in the first place" Martin decided.
"Yeah.. well I think I'm going to bed" I get up to put the cup in the sink "thank you for making me feel better"
"Always! good night dear"
I go up to Niall's room and change to sweat pants and a tee shirt. I climb under the covers making myself comfortable, trying to push the image of Niall and Shannon standing alone outside. I'm not the type to get so jealous but no girl could help it when it's someone like her.
"Jamie? you up?" Niall came into the room
"Yes" I pick up my head to look at him. He stepped closer sitting down on the bed, his hand resting on my hip "I'm sorry about that"
"It's fine really" I said, though we both know I am not fine with it at all.
"Listen Shannon just told me she got engaged to that guy she kissed at that party, wanted me to hear it from her, that's all" he stroked my hair
"She did?" It was my turn to go wide eye.
"Yes, so I told her I don't really understand why she feels the need to tell me, since it was a long time ago and I'm over her dating the best thing that ever happen to me" He smiled.
"What did she say to that?" I beamed at him
"She said that we could have been the best thing if she didn't kiss that bloke at the party"
"You're kidding! she said that?" I can't believe this girl, playing this way with these boys.
"Yeah, that is when you came to stand behind me"
"Well she is stupid for kissing that boy, but I am happy she did, since that got me with you" I pull him down for a kiss
"Though you must admit you were jealous seeing me with her" He winked pulling back from me
"No" I say shaking my head
"Liar Liar" He tickled me
"Anyone would be jealous- you would be jealous if it was me standing talking to her" I say keeping his hands at bay.
"That is true, I don't want to share you- not even with Shannon" He looked down at me.
"Go change and join me" I push him of the bed.
"I'll be right back" He said going out to the bathroom.
I lay in bed waiting for him, happy we had this talk now, happy I won't be going to bed with that little bit of fear. Fear of losing him to her.


"Niallllllll" Theo crashed into us yelling Niall's name jumping up and down on the bed.
"Mmmmmm why aren't you sleeping?" I felt Niall sitting up beside me
"I want to open presents" He finally stopped jumping and sat down on Niall.
"You don't need me for that" Niall chuckled
"Yes! Yes I dooo come!" Theo was up and jumping again
"You know what I think? I think you need Jamie! She is the best at opening presents"
It was quiet for a moment and then Theo was giggling.
"Ready?" I heard Niall say and then they both were on me, tickling and pulling.
"No! no no what did I do?? Let me sleep" I say slapping them both with my pillow.
"Jamie! I want you to see my presents" Theo said when they finally stopped.
"Ok love, just give me a moment to wake up" I sit up finally wide awake thanks to them.
"Good morning darling" Niall kissed me
"You sound like a granddad saying that" I shove him away so I can get out of bed.
"What time is it?" I stretched
"Early.. But you wanted a head start home anyway" Niall was out of bed too, pulling on a jumper.
We went down stairs to find Niall's mum, brother and his wife sitting in the living room by the tree.
"Sorry about that" Greg said "But if we are up then you should be too"
"What about Deo and Martin?" Niall asked sitting down beside him. Greg shrugged moving his attention back to his son.
"Good morning love, did you sleep well?" Niall's mum asked me
"I did thanks" I smiled at her.
"Oh Jamie, thank you so much for the toy you got Theo, you really shouldn't have" Denise smiled at me.
"I love getting presents for little children it is so much fun" I shrug with a smile.
"Theo what do you say to Jamie?" Greg asked the boy
"Thank you Jamie" He turned to look at me before going back to his presents
"And thank you for the scarf you got me love- you really shouldn't have" Maura Got up to kiss my cheek.
"Do you like it? My mum helped me choose I wasn't sure what to get you"
"It is wonderful darling" She smiled.
"What about my present?" Niall asked. He was sitting on the carpet playing with Theo and his new train set
"You'll get yours later" I tell him.
Niall's mum got me a lovely sweater. I have a feeling Denise helped her pick it.
We were all sitting eating breakfast when Deo and Martin joined us.
"What are you plans for today?" Deo sat opposite me.
"Well we are leaving soon, we're going to Jamie's family" Niall said in between bits.
"You're kidding! Leaving so soon?" Martin looked at me.
"Well.. you boys can join us" I looked at Niall for approval
"No, we're staying here.. with the family" He shook his head
"Yeah with the family" Deo put an arm around Martin's shoulders.



"Where is everyone going to be staying?" Niall asked me. We were on our way to my home town, talking about our plans for the group's party tomorrow night.
"Well, Harry and Liam can stay by me, while Zayn and Perrie stay by El with Louis, or whatever"
"Louis is planning on making us play games?"
"Yes, Eleanor said he has a few, he was going on about them just before when I was on the phone to her"
"God I'm glad Liam will be there to put a stop to it if it gets out of hand" Niall shook his head.
We finally got to my house. Niall parked and we got out.
"So.. about your present" I tell him
"Where is it?" His head shot up with attention.
"Well it's upstairs in my room.. You can have it now or later when the lot gets theirs" I smile
"What is it?" he frowned
"Not much fun if I tell you is it?" I wink.
"I need to think about it" he scratched his chin.
"Well until you do let's go say hello to my family" I pull on his arm tugging him to come after me.
We entered my home finding everyone in the kitchen.
"Hello!!!" My mum got up to greet us.
"Hi, this is for you" Niall handed my mum the gift I helped him pick out for her.
We decided long before not to get in to the habit of getting gifts for everyone, only our mums, and I had to get something for little Theo since it was a must in my eyes.
"You shouldn't have" She kissed his cheek
"You sound just like my mum" He grinned
We were supposed to meet Eleanor and Louis soon for lunch, so we went up to put our suitcases in my room and change.
Niall was looking around my room as if it was the first time he was here
"You won't find it Ni" I tell him
"You won't get yours until I get mine" He tells me wiggling his eye brows.
"Suits me" I shrug getting a change of clothes
We walked to El's since she lives quite close. I walked in without knocking, Niall beside me.
"Welcome!" Louis yelled from his place by the tree.
We greeted everyone joining them on the coach.
"I have the party all ready" Louis let us know.
"Did we decide where we shall have it?" I asked Eleanor
"Louis wants it at the pub, so that way it can go as late as we want it to"
"Makes sense" Niall agreed
"Well are you ready?" I asked getting up
"It's cold out" Eleanor whined
"It is" I smiled
"And raining" She added
"Good thing you're not made out of sugar" Niall pulled her to her feet.
"I'll share the umbrella with you" Louis promised her.
We walked to the coffee shop, the one we always go to and entered. I pulled of my hat and shook out my hair, as Louis closed the umbrella and set it aside.
"Who is that bloke waving?" Niall asked nodding his head in the direction of the guy.
Eleanor and I looked to where he was pointing.
"Isn't this just wonderful" Eleanor sighed tapping her sides with her hands.
Waving at us from across the room was Peter.
