We Took A Chance

To my surprise, I managed to shower, get dressed, and walk to my 12:30 class with 5 minutes to spare. Even though the professor was talking and I could hear him, I wasn't at all listening. My mind kept wandering off to Niall knowing that I'd be seeing him in a few hours and even then it wasn't soon enough. At what point did Niall become such an important part of my life? The feelings I have for him scare me and it's an internal battle that may take some time to overcome but for now I've given this a chance and I'm happy.

Dismissal couldn't come any sooner as I was starving. I hadn't had an opportunity to get any food in my system and I was beginning to get a major headache. On my way back to my dorm room I stopped at coffee shop on campus to grab a tea and muffin. I couldn't ignore the fact that I was on the verge of being completely broke. This weekend's rendezvous took a big hit on my already minimal paycheck and if I wanted to make the best of it, a tea and muffin will have to do.

Back in my dorm room, I still had about 45 minutes until Niall would pick me up so I decided to work on my big paper. It was due at the end of the semester and it was basically what our final grade would be so it was a big deal. Michelle wasn't in the room and I appreciated the quiet to help me concentrate. The ideas seemed to flow effortlessly today and I was able to write three pages of the 50 I had to write. This put me at exactly the halfway mark with 25 total pages.

I looked at my phone and noticed I had 10 minutes so I saved my paper on my laptop but also emailed me a copy. I've had the habit of emailing myself all my important files since high school. It always makes me paranoid that my laptop would crash loosing everything or that I'd lose my USB drive with everything in it. My email seemed like the smartest decision as I could access it from wherever, whenever. Just as I closed my laptop, my phone rang with a notification. I bit my lip knowing that it was probably Niall.

Niall: I'm outside babe. Can't wait to see you.

His text made me smile like an idiot and I was glad that Michelle wasn't in the room. I was way too giddy and I'm sure she'd ask questions I didn't feel like discussing with her. I rapidly grab my purse and sweater and dart out the door to the lobby. I was bummed to see that it was beginning to rain and hoped Niall wasn't getting wet. Past the front doors I notice Niall seeking shelter under a tree which wasn't doing the best job at keeping him dry. I look up at sky noticing the increasing amount of rain and decide to make a run for it.

"Niall! You're getting wet, you should've waited in the car!" I say wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Never. I will always wait for you outside, princess." he asks bringing his lips to mine in a quick kiss then asking, "Should we go?"

The ride to his place was filled with the sound of us singing along to our favorite songs on the radio. I mostly initiated this because I enjoyed Niall's singing voice. The sound was so pure and it came out so effortlessly. It made the car ride seem much shorter than it actually was.

As soon as Niall unlocked the door to his place, he started to take off his shoes and socks and then followed his shirt and jeans. I looked at him amused by what he was doing.

"You like my bum?" he asks shaking it towards me making me chuckle.
"Hah. Yeah sure but why are you taking off your clothes?" I cock an eyebrow watching as he gathers the clothes he just took off.
"I like to lounge around like this, plus my clothes got wet. You should take your clothes off, too." he says with a devilish smile. He was right though, the feeling of wet jeans was horrid.
"Actually that's a good idea but I rather borrow something from your closet."
"Even though I rather have you naked, you're more than welcome to my clothes. That's hot, too." he says walking into his room with me following suit.

Niall walks straight into his closet where he has a hamper and throws his wet clothes in there. I'm amazed as I walk into the closet and notice it's size. His closet is larger than mine and Michelle's room in the halls. I'm also surprised to the see organization skills of whoever organizes this.

"I assume you don't organize your own closet?" I ask making my way to a shelf that has basketball shorts and I grab a blue pair.
"I kind of do. I try to maintain it from day to day but a lady comes every Sunday to wash my clothes and mega organize everything," he answers leaning against the door frame watching as I step out of my jeans and into his shorts. The smile on his face giving away clearly what he was thinking.
"Fancy." I joke then scan the insane amount of plain white t-shirts he has hanging on one of the racks.
"Do you want a beer?"
"Okay." I agree and grab the first shirt I see and pull it over my head.

Walking out of the closet and into his room, I stop and look at his bed. It makes me smile remembering how we fell asleep the day he was sick. I can't say that I wasn't happy to have shared a bed with him. Even though I didn't allow myself to admit it at that point, that moment felt so intimate and I really enjoyed it. I began to make my way to the door but something on his dresser caught my eye. I made my way to it and noticed that he framed a picture of us at the Manchester Derby. Knowing that he thought to frame this picture and set it in his room made me get butterflies.

"Babe?" Niall's voice startles me. I'm still holding the frame in my hands and watch him as he looks from my eyes to the picture and back. "Everything ok?" he continues.
"Perfect." I say placing the frame back in it's place and making my way to Niall who's holding two beers.

We walk back to the living room and nestle under a blanket on the couch to watch TV. The evening was becoming increasingly ugly with the heavy rain having reached Niall's part of town which made it an even better evening to stay in and cuddle.

"There's something I wanted to tell you." Niall interrupts our silence after a few minutes of watching a movie.
"What is it?" I sit up straight to wait for his response.
"I've been hoping to buy a house in LA for a bit and I'm working with an agent who has showed me a few but I'm indecisive. I was wondering if you could help me choose one. I mean, if you want to you don't have to but I'd love your input." he looks towards me waiting for an answer.
"Oh, I'd help you choose one. Sure. Does this mean that you're moving to LA?" I wonder feeling a little anxious at the thought of him moving away.
"I'm not planning to move there permanently, at least not now. Buying this house is more of an investment at this point. It's good to have a place to stay if we're ever in the area." his explanation makes me more at ease.
"We're? As in me and you?" I ask hopeful.
"Yes, you and me. That's why I'd like your input, princess." I smile knowing how important this seems to Niall and can't help but agree.
"Okay, well whenever you want to show them to me then I'll be ready." I snuggle back into the crook of his arm and we enjoy the rest of of the movie.

Next thing I know, my eyes are feeling very tired and realize it's already 10 at night.
"It's late I think you should take me home, babe." I state as I sit up and stretch. Niall looks just as sleepy as me.
"Babe, can you just spend the night?" he grabs my waist and pulls me back to his side.
"Depends, are you going to get up at 7 to take me home to make it to class?" I ask expecting him to change his mind.
"Are you kidding? I'd wake up as early as you'd want me to." he says not leaving me with argument.
"Ok then I'll spend the night. Let's go to bed." I stand up and make my way to his room to get the bed ready.
"Are you super sleepy? I might have another idea.." he says coming up behind me and pressing his groin to my butt.
"You are so naughty. You're Naughty Niall." I laugh and he chuckles in my ear.
"Only with you."
I turn around in his arms to face him, his face was so beautiful I almost didnt believe he was all mine. I don't want to admit it but what I'm feeling for Niall was so much more than I've ever felt with anyone.
