I headed inside before thanking Niall for walking me. Niall headed back to his house as I entered the front door.

"Dad?" I called out.

I walked through the hallway which was floored with big stone flag stones and into the kitchen which had a massive island in the middle with a pale wooden top it, "hello darling, how have you been?" He put down the cooking spoon in his hand then walked over to be and unbraced me tightly with a hug.

"I'm doing absolutely awesome thank you dad, and you?" He let me go and returned to his cooking and I sat at the kitchen Island. " that's good to hear love, How's Niall?" As my dad asked the question he turned around, rested back on the clean kitchen counter with his arms crossed and wiggled his eyebrows at me. "Dad! We are just friends! We have been for ages now" I stated loudly.

He let out a chuckle, "whatever you say love, right you ready for dinner?" He returned once again to his cooking. "Yes I'm starving!"

"Nothing's changed then" he shot back.

"Rude" i said while giggling at his remark. "Oh dad I'm gunna head to a party later on, at Nialls if that's ok?"

Dad reached up and grabbed some plates out of the top cupboard before begging to serve up the food. "Yeah that's fine Hun" the food was now laying in front of me, piping hot.

"I will dad, thank you" I said before tucking into the delicious food.

~30 minutes later~
"Thank you, that was lovely!" I say whilst still licking my lips. I jumped off the stool and walked over the cold flag stones to put my dish in the sink.
"Your very welcome love, now go and get ready or you'll be late for your lover boy" dad chuckled as he started to clean up from cooking. " come on you know it's nothing more!" I said as I huffed, trying to get my point across.
"Good because if he wasn't 'just your friend' then I would have to talk to him about how he better not hurt you and all that stuff".  My heart grew as I was once again reminded of how much my dad and I needed each other. He was my rock, and if anything ever happened to me. He would make it better. I gave him a big smile and we just looked at each other for a bite. Nothing weird, just appreciating one another. I almost cringed at us and how freakin sappy we could be aswell.

I turned around and started walking up my slightly curved wooden stair case which started in the bottom of the kitchen. Much like the wooden island, the stair case was made out of light oak. Carved beautifully with detail, the wood so soft it felt nice to the skin.

I made my way to my bedroom and went straight to my wardrobe. What to wear? I thought to myself. Is it a dressy party? Or causal? Oh god. "I'll ring niall"
*phone starts ringing*

-After 2 beeps he picked up-

"Hello sunshine, what can I do for you?" He questioned confidently down the phone. A smile instantly was etched on to my face and my cheeks felt hot, thank god he can't see me right now.
"Well Mr. Horan, how shall I dress for this party? Causal? Dressy?" I answered back, trying to reflect the same confidence in my voice which he had in his.
"Ummm..... Go with a little black dress" he answered.
"You sure? I mean is that what the other girls are wearing?" I didn't want to be over dressed compared to everyone els.
"Yeah, wear that. I'll be at yours in 10, you better be ready", I could almost hear the smirk in his voice. Before I had a chance to argue he hung up the phone, nice. Shit I had better get ready quickly.
I went to my wardrobe again and found my little black dress, it was a bit short and tight also. I'm not sure about this, but if Niall says the others will then I might as well.

I slipped it on, grabbed my hair curlers and created big lose beach curls in my blonde hair. Then grabbed my make up, I applied foundation, eye liner and eye shadow to create that blackish smokey effect. I could now hear niall's voice in the kitchen, I got up and gave myself one last look over before applying some spray and heading down stairs

I left my bedroom and went on to the landing, I took a deep breath and tried to gather some confidence before I showed my dad and Niall my outfit for the evening. Jeez this thing is tight.

I walked bear footed down the stairs, as I came to the bottom I looked up and saw both sets on eyes glued to me. My dad had an expression which kinda said "you aren't going out like that! But I won't embarrass you I front of Niall" and I smiled and nodded to him, almost thanking him for not reacting badly.
Then my attention turned to Niall, he hasn't stopped staring at me since I got down the stairs,
"You okay?" I asked Niall, who finally stopped staring, he looked away quickly and cleared his throat. My dad was trying not to laugh at him.

"Yeah I'm fine, you look stunning. You ready to go?" He asked whilst offering me his hand, I took it happily. "I'll see you later dad, bye. Love you". We both said good to my dad and headed to the porch, I grabbed my black high heels which were a wedge like fashion, not too high. I took niall's hand again and we headed back out the house, back to his.

"You really do look beautiful" he said sincerely again.
"Thank you Niall, you look very handsome himself", black skinny ripped jeans with a nice blue top and a fashionable bomber jacket.
"Well thank you" he said. I smiled back at him, "has the party already started?" I asked.
"Yeah kind of, but the best part is still yet to come" he winked at me, Tonight was going to be interesting.....
