Afraid of Falling in Love
Moment in Time
Niall POV
Niall pulled out his suitcase to begin packing for the tour. The upcoming tour had him excited, but he was afraid of what the distance would do between him and Gabrielle. He hadn't spoken to her in a few days. She had said she needed space to figure out what she wanted to do, Niall had no choice but to respect her wishes. He just wanted to be committed to her, he could only hope she wanted the same thing from him. He then heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. There Gabrielle stood in black jeans and a black leather jacket.
"Hey," she stood in the doorway, Niall just watched her. He was very surprised that she was here. "Can I come in?" Her left eyebrow arched slightly.
"Yeah, of course," Niall moved out if the way so she could get through. "Would you like something to drink?" He gestured towards the kitchen, Gabriel's sat on the counter.
"Sure," she then picked up an orange and began peeling it, with one foot in the sink. She was truly different from Niall. He had never met a person who did such odd things. Niall handed her a glass if water. "Thank you." Niall sat on the other side of the sink facing her.
"So, what's up?" He looked over to her as she concentrated on her orange.
"Everything is okay, I guess," she bit into a piece and handed Niall one. Niall didn't say anything in hope that she would say why she came. "Niall, when do you leave?" She asked, and it wasn't the words he was looking for.
"In a few days," he said in a low voice. "But it doesn't change what I want."
"I want what you want too but afraid of what the distance would do," she frowned at her hands.
"What are you saying?" He the sadness creeping in his voice. She then unhooked a chain from her neck and placed it in his hand.
"When I was younger, my parents use to travel a lot. They still do, but when I would throw a tantrum for them leaving my dad would give me this necklace. He always promised that he would come back and when he did I would give it back. Until the day I wasn't there to wait for them anymore. I want you to have it, it's a promise from me that I will wait for you until you come back," she hooked it around his neck. And then looked up at his eyes. Her beautiful big green eyes showing sadness, fear and love. He then leaned down and kissed her softly.
"I love you," he brush a hand across her cheek.
"I love you, too." She flashed her pearly white smile. Niall felt his heart skip a beat, she had finally said back to him. Nothing could ruin this day.
"Let's do something fun today," Niall grabbed her hand. He drove over to Nando's.
"This is your idea of fun?" Gabrielle glanced over to Niall.
"Eating is always a good idea," he pulled out a chair for her. "But it's not the only thing I have an mind," he winked his right eye at her.
"Of course not," she giggled, and then proceeded to look over the menu.
After dinner, Niall took Gabrielle to a comedy club. They enjoyed many laughs together. He clearly had made the right choice. Belen would have barely eaten at dinner, where as, Gabrielle ate the plate Niall had, and still had room for dessert. He found she was snacking on something, which he did as well. Belen wouldn't have enjoyed the comedy club, she was a bit pretentious. Niall was truly glad to have her by his side, to know that she had chosen him.
"I'd wait forever for you," Niall leaned into her ear and whispered.
"Would you?" Gabrielle turned to look at him, her eyes going back and forth between his, looking for an answer.
"You will forever be my always," he kissed her hand. At that moment in time, Niall knew that Gabrielle would be his, any fear or doubt she had before had washed away. She was inevitably in love with him.
"Why did I ever push you away?" She gently grazed his blonde hair. Niall smiled, it was very maternal of her.
"You were afraid, but you didn't have to be. I promise you I am here to stay," he gazed into her green eyes. She pushed a strand of her dirty blonde hair behind her ear.
"I really, truly, do love you," she put a finger on his lips. And he leaned in to kiss her.
"Nothing in the world could alter my love for you. And that's the truth," he held up a glass of whiskey and she clunked her glass against his. A cheer to the beginning of the their blossoming love affair.
