Chapter 5

I lounged around in my unicorn onesie while Harper had her nap. I wasn't anticipating anyone to come visit me, and if anyone did, I knew it would only be my best friend Olivia.

I turned on the telly, putting on my favourite series which was Love Hate and I began watching that. I know I've watched it so many time I can fundamentally say the lines alone with the characters but the show is just so compelling.

I was about half ways through the first episode when the doorbell rang. A frown creased my features as I arose to my feet. "You don't need to ring the doorbell Oliv-" I concluded my sentence prematurely when it was not Olivia I was met with.

I looked up to see the quintessential blonde hair, quiffed neatly and soon was met with blue eyes glistening in the light. It almost made my legs weak. I felt incapacitated as I stood there opening and closing my mouth, much like a fish.

I took a moment to appreciate his appearance. It was exemplary, as per usual. He was wearing skinny jeans, which appeared so tight, I wonder how he had room for his manhood in there. My eyes cast down to the brown boots he was wearing, and then up to see he had a shirt on, as well as a bomber jacket. I then noticed the hat he was wearing, I almost forgot what century it was for a minute.

"Hi Aviana," he smiled softly, showing me his teeth as he did. They were perfect, just like him.

"Niall, what are you doing here?" I questioned.

"You told me t' come by n' I wanna meet the little 'un," he smiled, swaying on his feet with his hands behind his back. I nodded wearily but stood back and let him in, blushing when I realised what I was wearing.

"Maybe I should uh.. go get changed," I looked down at my feet, wriggling my toes from inside the onesie.

"No. no, don't bother, it's only me," he says as though he's nobody when he's Niall fucking Horan. Of course I want to change and look a little spruced up. "And plus, I 'hink yer onesie is adorable," he grinned as he walked into my flat, making my cheeks flare up. "Look at yer unicorn dick," he giggled, swatting the horn that was on the hood of my onesie.

"That's a horn, not a dick," I rolled my eyes and chuckled. He just laughed, producing enticing dimples on his cheeks. Why is he so darn cute?

"Close enough," he chuckled and shrugged, before taking a seat on my couch. He didn't have to clean it off before he sat on it, he isn't like my mother. Thankfully. Her profligate manner aggravates me to an extreme.

"Where's the wean?" He questioned, leaning back on the couch and letting his right foot rest over his left knee. The wean?

"The what?" I frowned, either I heard him wrong or he's speaking in his Irish language. I couldn't quite ascertain what he was trying to say, in his idiosyncratic accent.

"The kid, your little 'un," he explained and I nodded slowly.

"The wean?" I questioned again and he chuckled lowly.

"Guess it's a Irish term," he shrugged and rubbed his hands up and down his thighs.

"Well, the 'wean' is sleeping," I chuckled quietly, puling my sleeves over my knuckles, a diffident manner soon being simulated. "Do you want me to wake her?"

"Nah, let the kid sleep," he said, running his hand through his hair, which I watched in awe. My aspiration is to run my hand through his hair. I just wanted to touch it.

"She will probably wake up soon anyways," I assured him, taking a tentative seat next to him and blushing when he swatted the horn of my onesie again.

"Aren't ya even gonna offer me some tea?" He raised his eyebrows in a suggestive manner. "Poor service here, I'm telling ya," he shook his head, feigning a contemptuous tone.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry," I arose hastily to my feet and went and put the kettle on. He soon followed me to the kitchen, evidently not lacking any timorousness.

"Two sugars, please," he informed me as he took a seat at the kitchen table. "You've a nice apartment," he complimented as I poured the hot water into the mug.

"Probably nothing like you're used to," I chuckled as I set the mug down in front of him and then retrieved the cartoon of milk from the fridge. I handed him it, allowing him to poor his desired amount of milk.

"It's nice, I'd like to downsize to something like this one day," he said, taking a sip of the tea which made me roll my eyes.

"Stop trying to make me feel better about living in a dump," I said. He seems to be quite the unpretentious type, which the preponderance of 'famous' people, usually are not.

"Believe it if ya want t'," he chuckled.

"You," I corrected him.

"What?"

"You, not ya," I bit my lip, blushing then when I felt a little insolent.

"Sh'up," he rolled his eyes and sipped on his tea again.

"Your pronunciation is terrible, how do you Irish people speak?" I asked, making him raise his eyebrows at me in perplexed manner.

He spoke again after a few minutes, "Rude," he scoffed which made me giggle.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you or anything," I looked away, simpering slightly as I did. I felt somewhat disdained in his presence, not because of the way he was acting, just because, well he's Niall Horan.

"Ya didn't, don't worry."

"Ya," I repeated in a underisible tone which earned a roll of the eyes from Niall's part.

"Yer wean is crying," he gestured to the door where Harper would stood, clutching her monkey teddy close to her chest in a protective manner as though afeared Niall would snatch her teddy. I could decipher with her feelings of trepidation in the face of undistinguished presence in the house.

I walked over and scooped her up, sitting back down with her on my lap. She peered up at Niall through her luscious eyelashes, her green eyes meeting with his blue ones before she became diffident and hid her face in my chest.

"Hiya little 'un," he smiled, nudging her leg with his index finger which in turn, made her pull it onto my lap.

"She's shy, but not for long, don't worry," I chuckled, rubbing her back gently, eventually managing to persuade her to turn around in my lap.

"Who's this?" Niall asked, pulling at the monkey's ear. Harper just smiled and wriggled on my lap, not answering him. "What's his name?" He questioned.

"Go on, tell him the monkeys name," I attempted to persuade her.

"Mo-mo," she very shyly admitted which made Niall chuckle.

"Why mo-mo?" He asked.

"She couldn't pronounce monkey, so that was what she would say when she wanted the teddy," I informed him.

"That's a very pretty name," Niall nodded. "Yer mammy should 'a named you that," he chuckled. "But, she was expecting a Harper apparently, do you play the harp?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Prick," I mumbled under my breath as Harper giggled, seemingly warming up to Niall. "Stop making fun of the child's name," I said as she slipped the pacifier that was clipped onto her shirt into her mouth.

"Aren't you a bit big for dummies?" Niall asked her to which she shook her head.

"Aren't you a little young for that farmer's hat?" I retaliated as Niall took the pacifier from Harper.

"Mine now," he said, popping it into his mouth.

"Okay." Harper shyly responded, not throwing a tantrum like most toddlers would over the prospect of someone taking something that belonged to them.

"I'm only kidding," he smiled softly at her timid reaction, taking it out of his mouth and wiping it off before putting it back into hers.

Now my child has shared a pacifier with Niall Horan, there's always a first for everything.

I placed her down on her feet and she toddled over to Niall, holding her hands out to him to be picked up. It was quite unaccustomed for Harper to warm up to someone so fast. I don't blame her though..

"She's adorable, aren't ya," Niall smiled, wrapped his arms around Harper and cuddling her. He's so good with kids, it made me smile.

She hopped off Niall's lap and held her hand out to him. He appeared somewhat befuddled for a moment until I explained that was Harper's way of telling you to follow her.

"Are we goin' on an adventure," Niall stood up, taking her hand and jumping in an exuberant manner as Harper lead him to the living room. I followed as well, curious as to what she wanted to show him. She took him to the corner where her toy box was and sat down in front of it, peering up at him as though silently saying 'well are you going to join me or just stand there?'

"Oh are we having our first play date?" Niall raised his eyebrows at her as he sat down, but nonetheless, had the forbearance to tolerate playing with her for a whole half an hour. I acclaimed his leniency.

"I really should get goin'," he informed me as he stood up, earning a whine from Harper. "I have a meeting at two."

"Niall, it's ten past two," we both craned our heads to look at the clock, which indeed read eleven minutes past two. He shrugged, seemingly unaffected. I guess his 'thing' is being twenty minutes late for everything.

"Right, bye bye Harper," Niall waved at her, Harper's face brightening up, a significant smile appearing on her face as she shyly waved back.

"Ta-ta," she giggled which made me smile. I walked Niall out to the door, Harper following, hugging his leg. He chuckled and ruffled her hair before opening his coat pocket and producing an envelope which he thrust upon my hands. What's this?

"Niall wha-"

"It's the money we talked about," he explained. "It's all there, everything you need to get tha' asshole off yer back," he smiled.

"Niall, you really don't have to," I bit my lip, looking up at him.

"But I want to," he smiled softly in response. "There's an extra fifty in there, buy Harper some new clothes or do whatever you want with it," he said, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Thank you so so much," I threw myself into his arms, hugging him tightly, not even dwelling on the discomfiture it may cause when we pulled back.

"You don't need to thank me, just not letting me mammy down," he rubbed my back as he hugged me.

How can one person be so kind?
