What A Feeling

This is probably the first time that Becca has ever wished for a baseball game to go faster. Right now, she really wants to be with Niall.
She’s waiting near the dugout to interview a coach in between innings. Her phone goes off, since she has a moment, she takes a quick peek.
“Dear God!” Becca whispers to herself. Niall has sent her a selfie. He’s in her bed at the hotel, shirtless, looking hot as hell. “Anxiously waiting here, for the most amazing girl in the world.” He writes.
“Well, well, who’s that?” One of the players asks, looking over her shoulder.
She’s already formed a good bond with the players, of course it doesn’t hurt that it’s her favorite team. Not that she can admit that, reporters are supposed to be unbiased.
Becca pushes on the player. “None of your business, Josh.”
He laughs. “I guess you’re taken. I was hoping I’d have a chance.”
She grins.

When Becca finally makes it back to the room, she finds Niall asleep in the bed.
She undresses, crawls under the covers, kissing him awake.
As his eyes open, an immediate smile comes across his face. He lifts the sheet, his eyes trailing up and down her body.
“Mmm, can I please get woken up like this everyday, for the rest of my life?”
Becca grins. “I think that could be arranged.”
Niall kisses her forehead. “How was the game?”
She smirks. “Let’s talk later.” Her hand finding him, causing him to growl.
Passion darkens his eyes as he whispers to her. “No, B, it’s your turn.” He moves so that he is hovering above her. Kissing her forehead, then looking into her eyes. “I was such a fool to think I could live without you, B.” He pushes the hair back from her face. “I don’t want to be without you ever again.”
Becca smiles. “I’m not going anywhere, Irish.”
“Thank God.” He whispers in her ear, before kissing her neck. Sweet, addictive kisses; causing Becca’s heart to race.
“I intend to prove to you tonight just how much I love you.”
She looks into his eyes, her hands rubbing his shoulders; he’s left her speechless.
He kisses her again, and again. “I’ve missed this so much, Babe.”
She smiles against his lips.
Niall pauses. “I need you to know, B, I’ve always wanted nothing more than to make you smile. It’s such a beautiful smile.”
Becca can’t help but grin as she runs her fingers through his hair.
“I’m so sorry I took your smile away. I promise you, I’ll never hurt you again, ever.”
She swallows hard, tears standing in her eyes. “I believe you, Irish.”
Niall kisses his way down her chest. Gentle kisses that drive her crazy. She gasps as he reaches his hand down to touch her.
“I’ve missed you, Niall.”
He takes that as a cue to slide farther down the bed to finish the job. With one hand gripping his hair, the other grasping at the sheets, she cries out his name.
He climbs up her body, gazing into her sparkling eyes. “I love making you come undone.”
“You’re the only one who can make me feel this way, Niall. I love you.”
“I love you, B.” He winks. “Ready for round two?”
“Mmm, yes please.”

After several more rounds that night, and a few hours sleep, Becca and Niall have breakfast in bed.
“I think we should talk, Niall. No more miscommunications.”
He smiles. “I agree.”
“Niall, I am determined to make us work, no matter what.”
“Me as well, Gorgeous. I’ve been looking at houses here in the Bay Area, I think I’ve found one you’ll really like.”
“So you want to move here?”
Niall grins. “Well, I was hoping that we could live part of the year here, and part in London.”
Becca laughs.
“What?” Niall asks.
“It’s just strange sometimes how much we think alike. I already spoke to my boss about me covering European sports for part of the year. He loved the idea.”
Niall kisses her. “You are amazing.”
A little bit of her old insecurities surface. “Are you sure you want to live with me?”
Niall pulls her close, kissing the top of her head, then looking in her eyes. “I promise you, I want nothing more, B.”
She smiles, believing him with her whole heart. “Wanna show me pictures of this house you’re looking at?”
