I entered the small café to see that Niall was already there sitting at a table in the corner of the large open room. I studied him from head to toe.

His blonde hair was done up in it's usual way, his ocean blue eyes were studying what I assumed was the menu. He was wearing a plain beige button up shirt and black skinny jeans, paired with his black slip on vans. The expression on his face came across as if he were nervous?

I realized I was standing in the doorway of the café frozen when someone entered behind me.

"Excuse me." The woman said politely as she continued on past me to the front counter.

I slowly walked over to Niall, his eyes landed on me as I began to take the seat across from him. His eyes lit up at the sight of me.

"Hey Scar, thanks for coming." He smiled, his accent raspy from sleep.

"Are you okay?" He asked, a look of worry appeared across his handsome face.

Why did things seem weird? I was worried Emmett had told them something bizarre or maybe blew things up into something much more dramatic.

"I'm okay." I smiled, my cheeks felt warm. Why did I have to blush, I brought my hands up to my face attempting to hide it.

"Are you sure? I shouldn't have drank so much last night. It was irresponsible of me." He started, I quickly cut him off.

"Niall, you don't need to apologize. You told me you loved me and my response wasn't so fitting." I told him, his eyes darted to the table.

"You reacted how anyone else would've." I added, his eyes met mine again. That's when I noticed the black circles beneath them.

He brought his hand up to his face and pressed two fingers to his temple, I assumed he had a major headache, being hungover was never fun.

"Did you get any sleep?" I questioned, he slowly shook his head.

"Not a wink." He replied, I frowned.

"Why not?" I asked, he shifted nervously in his seat and furrowed his brow.

"It's because I'm so crazy about you, I was so worried about you. Last I remember I was in the bar with the guys and you showed up, everything after that's a blur. Then I come to and I'm told that we got swarmed by rabid fans, you passed out Scar..." He sighed, I reached across the table and held my hand out to him.

He gently placed his hand in mine and met my eyes.

"I wasn't there for you, that all wouldn't have happened if I wasn't stupid and got wasted." He whispered.

"Ni, please don't beat yourself up about it. I'm fine. I just got my own room last night because I needed time to myself, all of this has been so crazy and hectic. I just needed time to think." I told him, he slowly nodded and forced a smile.

"What did you need to think about?" He asked, I laughed, he wasn't serious?

"This. The fact that last week I was working in a library and living in a studio apartment in downtown salt lake city. That I am now on tour with One Direction, the band that I have been obsessed with since the first day you guys sang together. Now I'm here with Niall Horan, who claims he's in love with me..." I rambled, Niall grinned at the last part.

"And?" He asked.

"I processed that I am indeed in love with you and I don't know how to function without you near. I don't want to be without you. I want to get to know you, your quirks, dislikes. Your favorite things to do other than singing and guitar. I want to spend each day falling more and more in love with you. I was worried I was just in love with the idea of you, in love with the famous singer Niall Horan." I told him quietly, he squeezed my hand.

"Do you, just love the idea of me?" He asked softly, that glow in his eyes never fading.

"No, I love you. the real human being Niall. You are so kind and caring. My world lightens whenever you're near me, I can hardly breathe in your presence." I told him shyly, he squeezed my hand again. His warmth flowing through my veins.

"I love you Niall James Horan." I whispered.

"Does this mean I can officially call you my girlfriend?" He laughed, happiness drowning him.

"Yes I believe so, if that's what you really want." I said happily, he grinned the widest grin.

"I love you Scarlett." He leaned across the table and planted his lips on mine.

I pulled back and noticed flashing outside the window we had been sitting beside, I looked out to see paparazzi just outside shooting pictures of us.

"Well, the worlds about to get the first glimpse of us." Niall said as he watched more people show up outside.
