Chapter 86
Evie's POV // Is It Springsteen or {Teenage} Dream{s}
December 30th - 2 days.
I'm jolted awake when the bed dips suddenly. Much like a toddler excitedly waking their parents up, I see Niall propped on one elbow next to me looking at me with eyes full of excitement.
"Hi." He smiles from his pillow next to mine.
A giggle escapes me as I rub the sleep from my eyes and I reply the same, "Hi."
"Glad you're awake." He states simply, kissing my forehead before sitting up next to me in bed and propping his arm up on the headboard.
"Didn't have much of a choice, Love." I crinkle my eyebrows as I fully open my eyes and realize Niall is fully dressed with his hair styled; not a typical look for Niall on a chill day at home.
"Sorry, Love." Niall replies mockingly, emphasizing the english pet name I've picked up from him in our time together.
I giggle again when he pokes my nose before placing a kiss on my lips for the first time this morning.
"So what are you being sneaky about, Mr. Horan?" I ask, draping my arms around his neck while he overs over me.
"I'm not being sneaky!" He says, unable to even keep a straight face about it. "What makes you think that?" He asks, both of us laughing.
"Because it's..." I pause to crane my neck towards the clock on my night stand. "it's barely 9am and you're dressed, and styled, and..."
"And there's french toast waiting in the kitchen." He interrupts while i'm playfully tousling his styled hair.
"I knew you tasted like syrup!" I bite my lip while Niall smirks down at me and when I just can't take it anymore I pull him back to me to get another taste.
"So what's the occasion then?" I ask.
"Well, I had a bit of a date planned for us next week before we left for L.A., but since I'll be gone..." He pauses to smile at me. "I figured we could make up for it today."
"Are you asking me out?" I playfully ask.
"Yeah I think I am." Niall laughs, his hand resting on my hip. "Whatta ya say? Like our own personally little New Years Eve before I have to leave tomorrow?" He lowly asks, nuzzling his nose against mine.
"I say yes." I reply, capturing his lips with mine. "Do I get to know what we're doing on this date?" I ask, already knowing the answer to my question.
"Of course not." Niall scoffs, placing a chaste kiss on my forehead and quickly pushing himself off the bed.
"Just like the first time." I smile over my shoulder, swinging my legs over the side of the bed.
