Chapter 46
Evie's POV //
Niall is practically giddy as we hop out of his car and walk up the front steps of his house.
He stops at the door just before opening it and looks down at me. He's got my heavy suitcase in his hands, and the London air is rather chilly compared to that of Nashville or Sydney, but he's acting like we have all the time in the world.
"What?" I smile softly, looking up at him.
"I'm just so happy you're here. Still don't think I believe it." He laughs.
"I promise, i'm here. In the flesh." I encourage, chuckling while I caressing his cheek with the palm of my hand.
"I know." He nods, kissing my palm.
"But I might freeze to death if you don't open the door soon." I laugh.
"Right! Sorry!" He apologizes, quickly jumping into action to unlock the door and usher us inside.
The second we step in the door I'm enveloped by the warmth of Niall's home; both physically and mentally.
I stand in the door way as Niall sets my luggage down. I don't even realize i'm staring until Niall wraps his arms around me from behind and whispers "You can make yourself at home, Love." while nuzzling into my neck.
"I'm just taking it in." I giggle as his slight facial hair tickles my neck and I cover his hands with mine around my waist.
"Is it alright?" He asks, pulling back to look at me.
"Of course! It's just...It's yours and...I don't know, it's just weird to be here." I shrug.
"Good weird? Or bad weird?" He asks, kissing my jawline over my shoulder.
"Good weird..." I nod.
"You want me to show you around?" He asks, raising an eyebrow at me. I shrug in response but the smile on my face tells him that my answer is yes.
With that, we kick our shoes off by the front door and he leads the way around his London home.
I can't help but smile at the familiar living room scene that i've seen countless times from his Instagram while he's lounging or watching sports. He shows me the kitchen, which he assures me he'll show me his cooking skills some time during my visit.
The back yard is beautiful from what I can see out of the french doors and windows, but I refuse to return to the cold right now to check it out for myself.
We venture through all of the guest rooms, giving them a brief glance, and then finally end at Niall's bedroom.
