Niall's POV:
~November~
A little
after ten, I assisted
her off her bar stool
and escourted her
outside. Since my Mum
lived so close, we
walked here. Plus, I
didn't know how
tonight was going to go
so I didn't want to
take the chance with a
vehicale. Amber's
heels hung by her
fingertips as we
strolled in the cold,
autumn night. With
every drunken breath
she took, I watched it
puff into smoke in the
chilly air around
us.
"This
is the most relaxed
I've felt in the
longest time." She
held out most of her
syllables and was
accurately accused of
being totally
intoxicated. I thought
about how easily I
could take advantage of
her and how wrong it
would be to do it. A
part of me wanted to
and the other part knew
I would never
disrespect her like
that.
"You
know, you look really
cute tonight,
Love." I reached
my hand out to hers and
snaked my fingers
inbewteen hers. I
saw in her face that a
confession was burning
in her throat, but she
was trying to decide if
she should say it or
not. "What is it?
You can tell me. I
won't tell." I
shot her a wink and
held out my free pinky
towards her face, still
staring at the
ground.
I turned
my head forward and
continued to walk, but
once she stopped, I was
forced backwards a
little. I stood facing
her and waiting for her
secret. "You know,
I've had to
compromise my happiness
and feelings for
everyone around me for
the longest time."
A slight hint of
soberness was ringing
in her voice, but all
this courage was coming
from the drinks she had
tonight.
She took a
long pause before she
parted her lips and
looked me in the eyes.
"But I'm done
with all of that as of
now because I'm
completely, desperately
in love with you,
Niall." I felt my
cheeks turn a dark
shade of red as
singsong voice rang
through my ears. I
happily grabbed her
face and pressed her
lips to mine; the taste
of alcohol beginning to
fade from her
mouth.
With my
support, she stumbled
all the way back to my
Mum's place,
falling asleep right
before we reached the
front yard. I picked
her up bridal style as
my Mum let us through
the door. She asked if
Amber was alright as
she opened up my
bedroom door for
us.
"Yeah, she's
fine." I laid
Amber down in my bed
and turned to my Mum.
"Where's Lilli
at?"
"Don't worry,
she's in her
pajama's, fast
asleep in Granma's
bed."
"Thanks Mum."
I pulled her in my arms
and squeezed her
tightly, leaving a soft
kiss on her forehead.
She left me to tend
to my sleeping
beauty. I carefully
changed her from her
dress to a pair of
pajamas, stopping now
and then to admire her
perfect body. I slipped
all her jewelry off of
her and set iton my
dresser; her heels, I
tossed into her
suitcase right before
crawling into bed with
her.
