-Chapter 8
When I arrived home from work Niall was fast asleep. I took off my clothes and put on my pyjamas which consisted religiously of a pair of fluffy pyjamas bottoms and whatever top Niall had been wearing which he had thrown on the floor then. I picked up the shirt he had thrown on the floor and slipped it on along with the pyjama bottoms and then got into bed along with him.
I stroked his cheek gently when the dim light of the bathroom shone on his face and showed the tear tracks which were so evidently there. I sighed quietly and kissed his cheek before settling down under the covers next to him and lying on my side with my back to him.
I was barely lying there five minutes when he pulled me to a spooning position. I didn't mind. I love being close to him, I just hate that I upset him and can't keep him happy all the time. Who can keep anyone constantly happy? Nobody's perfect and everyone manages to fuck up sometimes and hurt someone else.
I woke up early the next morning to get back to work. When I went to stand up Niall's arms tightened around me. "No, don't go." He whispered, his fingers soon slipping up under the shirt of his I was wearing and they began caressing the skin on my hip, making the butterflies in my stomach begin to flutter. They were untameable.
"Niall, stop." I whispered back, looking over my shoulder at him.
"Why?" He questioned, his hand about to go lower but I gripped it.
"Niall, I have to go to work, we don't have time." I tell him. He sighed deeply in response and withdrew his hand.
"We never have time anymore." He quietly said, sitting up and looking down at his lap. I sighed deeply myself and ran a hand over my face. I know we never have time but I have to work for us, I mean, we need regular income, don't we?
"I'm sorry Niall but I have to work." I snap, more harshly than I intended to.
"You never texted me back last night." He softly said, looking up me through his eyelashes for an answer. I didn't know why, but all of a sudden I just wasn't in the mood.
"Niall for gods sake there's more important things in life than me texting you back I love you too or whatever you wanted me to text." I groan and stand up, pulling some clothes out of the wardrobe and going to the bathroom to change into them and do my hair and makeup as hastily as I possibly could.
When I came out Niall smiled softly at me from where he was sitting. He was feigning happiness. "You look beautiful, like always." He looked up at me shyly and then picked up his phone.
"Thank you." I quietly replied, although I'm not sure he heard me.
I picked up my bag then and made my way to the car, stopping on the way to pick up some coffee. I didn't have time for breakfast. When I arrived at my office Andrew immediately took me upstairs to the meeting room, telling me I had an extremely important meeting with someone. I sat there for about fifteen fruitless minutes, sipping on my coffee while no 'extremely important' person arrived.
I groaned then when my coffee was finished, coming back downstairs to Andrew. "What the hell? Nobody came." I look at him for answers. He shrugged and looked shocked.
"Oh god, I don't know they must be running late, go to your office, I'll call you when they arrive." He said, ushering me to my office where the blinds were pulled. I frowned but opened the door and when I did, I smiled brightly at what I was met with.
Niall's POV
"I love you." I whispered once I heard the door shut, meaning Jenny had left. I need to portray my love for her, show her I really do care. I called Andrew then and told him to distract Jenny when she arrived so I'd have time to set up what I had planned.
I got up and got dressed before preparing what I had to as quickly as I could and making a stop on the way. When I got there I went to the floor of her office and was greeted by Andrew.
"Jesus Christ, I am so bad at lying. I told her she had a meeting so she's sitting upstairs on her own." he says which makes me giggle. "I don't know what I'll say when she eventually comes down." He seemed panicked as he ran a hand through his hair.
"Just tell her they're late." I chuckle and he literally throws himself into my arms.
"You're a saviour, but never make me lie to her again or I'll be fired." He says while I awkwardly pat his back.
"Okay is this hug over, I need to go set up the office." I said and he face palmed himself.
"Oh god yes, sorry." He chuckled and stepped back. Sometimes I wonder how this man was every hired, he doesn't seem all there. He acts very camp, but then I guess he works for a makeup company so you know, you do the math yourself.
I nodded and smiled at him, running a hand through my hair before picking up the bags and taking them into Jenny's office. I immediately closed the blinds so she wouldn't be able to see in when she was walking over and then began setting up what I had planned.
I placed the giant teddy I bought her on her office chair and then placed the breakfast I made her on her desk, pancakes, fresh cream and strawberries. (Her favourite breakfast of course). I sat next to the teddy on her chair and held the roses I bought her, awaiting her arrival nervously, picking at my nails as I did just because I was so anxious.
About five minutes later, the wait was over. It felt a lot longer than five minutes though. I heard her outside giving out to Andrew, the poor guy and a few minutes later she was opening the door to her office. When she first opened the door, her face showed an unimpressed expression but once she looked up and saw me, the teddy and the break her whole expression lit up. "Oh my god Niall, what is this for?" She squealed and ran over to me.
"I'm berry sorry." I said holding up a strawberry making her laugh loudly. "You get it? Cause it's a strawberry." I smiled sheepishly which made her roll her eyes.
"You're such a dork, but I love it." She giggled, taking the roses and smelling them before placing them on the table and then sitting on my lap, beginning to eat the pancakes. "Oh my god, it's been so long since I have had a proper breakfast like this." She says as I rub her hips comfortingly, just wanting to keep her calm and happy.
"I know love, s'why I wanted t' treat ya. You know, to say sorry for being a dick." I say, resting my chin on her forehead.
"Nah, I was being a bitch, Ni. I'm the one who should be sorry." She sighed quietly and took a sip of water. "I don't know if you could tell but I was on my period." She chuckled which made me chuckle too.
"Don't worry, I know." I smiled, rubbing my hand up her side. "I have a reminder on my phone, tells me every month when I need to stock up on cakes and chocolate." I said, showing her the app on my phone which actually tracks her cycles for me. When you're a husband, you've gotta be prepared, you do not want to start a world war three.
"That's so cute." She smiled. "but no seriously, I am sorry for being so horrible. I know you're not ready just don't heed me, I'm all hormonal." She said, stroking my cheek gently.
"So, can we move on now and forget about what happened, just put it behind us and move on?" I questioned to which she nodded tentatively.
"Well, I mean, we can move on from the fight, but we can't really move on from the fact that I want a child with you." Jenny sighed, looking up my through her eyelashes which also made me sigh deeply as well.
"Jenny," I sighed. "You know I'm not ready just yet. Maybe in a few months though." I said which was more just to please her of the time being, because I honestly do not know when I will be ready to try again and have another child with her. It's a big move, especially considering the past luck we have had with babies.
"Alright. I guess it wouldn't really be appropriate to have a child right now anyways when my business is prospering so well." She says playing with the hair on the nape of my neck. I think that comment was more to soothe her own conscience rather than to state a fact. I just nodded and bit my lip.
"You still love me though? Even though I won't have a baby with you yet?" I asked, looking up at her slightly unsurely.
"What the hell, Ni?" She incredulously exclaimed. "Of course I still love you." She assured me. "And I'll wait as long as you need me to. You're the only person I'd want to have a baby with." She grinned which assured me. "As they say, don't marry anyone you wouldn't want your son to be like." She said. "I wouldn't mind if our son was an exact replica of you because you're perfect." She smiled which made me blush.
God, now I remember why I fell in love with this girl.
Jenny's POV
"Jeez, that extremely important person still hasn't turned up." I teased Andrew as I was about to leave work. He looked at the time on his phone and pretended to act shocked.
"My god, they are running very late, aren't they?" He questioned. "By the way, please tell your husband never to tell me to lie again because I almost had a heart attack today having to lie to you." He said, placing a hand over his heart dramatically. I rolled my eyes at his drama queen self.
"Well, I'm going home now so I will tell him when I get home." I smile.
"Oh, leaving early are we?" He questioned, to which I nodded. I plan to spend a nice evening with Niall, surprise him. I know he will love that. "So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?" He asked, before pressing cancel on a call that was coming through, knowing he could phone back later when he wasn't talking to me. It made me feel important.
"No, you won't see me tomorrow, I'm taking the day off so tell anyone who wants to see me I'm sick. I'm going to be sick tomorrow." I smile and start to giggle.
"Okay," Andrew chuckled. "Get well soon tomorrow then so." He smiled and I bit my lip to stop myself from giggling.
Once we finished out chat I made my way home to surprise Niall. Once in the door, I yell on him and a few seconds later he came running, scooping me up into his arms excitedly. I wrapped my legs around his waist and giggled.
"What are you doing home so early?!" He asked, kissing me over and over again between words.
"I took the rest of the day off to spend it with you." I grinned and he squealed excitedly like a girl. I knew he would love this. "And guess what?" I smiled.
"What?"
"I'm taking all of tomorrow off. I was thinking we could have a nice long lie in and afterwards have breakfast and then maybe go to the cinema and then go out for a meal? You know, a nice date day." I said which made his whole expression just get even more euphoric looking.
"You're serious? Oh my god I love you so so much." He said as he walked me to the couch, gently placing me down and crawling on afterwards. It has been so long since we have gotten to have a proper date or even actually eat breakfast together. I have gotten so busy that I really just don't have time for the things some people take for granted.
I smiled up at Niall, glad I was making him happy. He started to gently kiss me, moving his lips to my jawline and then down my neck. "Have we time now?" He questioned, looking up at me and smiling.
"Yes Ni, we do." I giggled and he smiled brightly before getting to work hastily.
