The Setup

Mickey comes back with not only drinks but him. Niall Horan. My first thought isn't what is Niall doing at a fashion gala…but that I want to literally rip him out of that suit because holy shit. He comes over with a small smile on but I can't tell he's faking. Mickey hands me a drink which I down really quick. "Girls look who I ran into! How nice is this?" Yea real nice I guess. I still don't really know what I want to do. Do I want him back? Or do I just think this is for the best…I am so confused. I can't help but just stare…and he hasn't tore his gaze off of me since he got here. Those damned icy blue eyes of his trail up and down my body before he looks back into my eyes. I can feel my whole body heat up. Suddenly the designer who designed the dress I am wearing comes over. "Cleo! Darling you look stunning in that. Of course I knew you would. Which is why I designed it just for you. Come on the show is starting! You just take my breath away!" I look at Max and smile. He is about to lead me away when Niall grabs my hand. "Good luck baby." I feel like time just froze. He is still acting like we never broke up in public. And that pisses me off. I would see in magazines that he would say that I'm off doing jobs in America and he couldn't wait for me to return. I think the only ones who know that we broke up are Lola, Mickey, and Harry. I rip my hand out of his and march off. I do the walk in the dress and go back to Mickey and Lola. And sadly Niall. Its not that I don't love him anymore because I still do. I still love every damn thing about him. Which makes me angry because I shouldn't. I should be over him…but I'm not. Every night I sleep in that blue shirt of his and almost cry. I cried because I realized I left my picture box somewhere in some hotel. That made me so upset. "Great job Cleo! You did amazing. Mickey come with me and get some drinks yea?" Lola drags Mickey away so it's just Niall and I…awkwardly standing there. "You look lovely Cleo." He says while looking at me.
"What are you doing here?" I look back at him…and all the anger just washes away. All I want is to just run into his arms and sob. It took everything in me to not do that earlier.
"Lola invited me…I just needed to see you…I didn't really want to come but it said black tie so I knew you would be looking irresistible and I didn't want any guy trying to take you from me." I just gape at him. I look around and its almost 11pm.
"Did you drive here?" He just nods at me, still looking at the ground. "Niall look at me. I…you…just why?"
"Not here Cleo…" He looks around then grabs my hand. "Come on." He leads me to this smaller room and shuts the doors. He locks them. He turns back and looks at me. "You really are beautiful. And you always take my breath away…no matter what you wear." I can't help but blush at his words. He walks over and pulls me into a hug. "I don't know why Cleo…I just panicked…I don't know…then I thought that you maybe wouldn't come back or meet someone better for you and I just lost it." I push myself of out his arms and look at him. His arms drop to his side and he hangs his head. I look at him. The man I love more than anything. And I find myself falling for him more and more. I think its because we have been apart and now all the emotions that I have tried to push deep down inside are coming back to the surface. His voice snaps me from my thoughts. "I guess I'll be leaving…um…I do love you…I always will love you Cleo. But if you don't want this anymore then I'll stop trying." He quickly left the room. I stood there shocked. He thought that I didn't want this? Well my actions probably weren't the best…but I wanted him. I just needed time to think. I run out and don't see him anywhere. I run past Lola and Mickey and out the doors. Only to see his car driving away. I let out a whimper. I need to get to him. I just take off. It’s a cool March night but I just keep going. The venue wasn't too far from my place. And I get there in like 20 minutes. My feet kill and I am pretty cold. I get upstairs and change out of the dress. I throw on some comfy clothes. I quickly write a note to Mickey telling him what I was doing and where I would be. Then I leave just a quickly as I came in. I let my door slam. I run down and burst outside. I start to walk towards Niall's place. I start to think of what I will say because I suck at words and sentimental stuff. Somehow I get within like 15 minutes. I must've been walking faster than I thought. I get in and head on up. The front desk person tells me he just got in and smiles. Everyone has no idea that we split do they? I get to his door and am about to knock when I hear something hit the door. Then I hear sobbing. I start banging on the door. "NIALL LET ME IN!!!" The door flies open to reveal Niall. He changed and was just wearing a pair of shorts. He has been crying and I see broken beer bottles on the floor. "Cleo…what…why…are you here?" God seeing him like this breaks my heart. And knowing that I am the reason hurts even more. I just crash into him and wrap my arms around his torso. He just stands there. I look up at him and take a deep breath. "I am so sorry Niall. I just when you said those things…it hurt me so much…I thought that…I thought that you trusted me and when I thought you didn't I broke me. I was going to call you but I didn't know what to say…I knew that I wanted you back. I love you so fucking much it physically hurt to be away from you. When you tried to apologize early I didn't know what to think…I thought that maybe you would just accuse me of that again. But at the gala you…came…you were doing everything to get me back…and I saw you walk away and I realized that it didn't matter why you said what you did…what mattered to me was getting you back. So I ran all the way home and came right over. I love you…" I had tears running down my face and I sniffling.
"Cleo…you could have caught a cold…why did you run back? That dress didn't seem very warm and your feet…baby I love you too…come here." I bury my face into his neck while he picks me up like a child and carries me to his room. We lay down on his bed. Then he suddenly gets up and grabs something off his dresser. He plops back down by me and tells me to close my eyes. So I do and I can't help but smile. He puts something in my lap and tells me to open my eyes. I look down to see my picture box. "How'd you…"
"It was in one of my suitcases…I was going to give it back but…I just couldn't." He looks away probably embarrassed by what he said. I go over and kiss his cheek. Then turn his head so I can finally kiss those lips of his. And when I do…it feels like the world just melted away and its just me and him. He stops and rests his head on mine. "Cleo…I just…thank you."
"For what?" I look into his eyes and wait for his answer.
"For giving me another chance." He pecks my lips lightly then my cheeks then my nose. I can't help but giggle at him. My phone starts to buzz and he groans. I get up while he flops back on the bed. Its Lola calling. "Hey Lo…what do you ne--"
"Please tell me you guys are back together." God she is so nosy.
"Yes. Is that all?" I hold the phone away while she squeals and yells my answer to Mickey. I just hang up and go back to Niall. I tell him who it was and he just chuckles. I was pretty tired of course running around the city could do that to you. I snuggle into him. "Tired baby?" I just nod my head at him. He gets up and turns off the lights then comes back to bed.
"Niall?"
"Yea?"
"I love you…and I'm not going anywhere."
"I love you too Cleo. And I'm not going to let you go anywhere. You're mine…until the day I die." I kiss him on the lips and then go back to cuddling with him. I know that he will keep my nightmares away. And I know that our future is set in stone…because I plan on marrying this man. I plan on having his kids…I can see us living back in Ireland raising kids. I smile and slowly drift off knowing that when I wake up…he will be there. I realize that wherever he goes…I will follow. I love Niall Horan and he loves me. I will love him until death do us part.
