Chapter 23

The next morning, I had agreed for my dad and mom to take Kenny for the night after countless hours of arguing. 

"Do you have everything? Pills? Pajamas? Pillows? Slippers? His book? Dad, you cannot forget his book. He can't fall asleep without it. Did you get it?" I asked my dad came out of Kenny's room, with Kenny following right behind, a giant grin on his face. 

"Yes, Nora. It's not my first rodeo. Stop worrying. We want to spend time with him, too." My dad said sharply, warning me to calm down. "Where's the boyfriend--" He paused as he tried to think of his name, "Nick?"

"Niall!" Kenny and I corrected. 

"Ah, that's right. Irish fella, where is he?" 

"At his job. Speaking of which, why aren't you at the office?"

"Because, I wanted to pick up my grandson, Miss Snoopy." 

Kenny laughed, "Miss snoopy, mummy." 

I picked him up and kissed his cheek, "I do love you."

"I love you, too." He blushed,  "Can Grampie and I go?"

I gave him one last squeeze, "If you must. Call me if anything happens. Okay, dad?" My dad nodded, "Yes, Nora. Anything else, Nora?" 

I sat Kenny down, he tugged on my dad's gray pants, "Let's go!" 

He laughed, "Alright, squirt. Bye honey. Love you." He kissed my cheek. Then he grabbed Kenny's small hand. Kenny blew me a kiss, I blew one back as I closed the door behind them. 

I walked over to the couch, and sat down. I released a deep breath, "What am I going to do?" I asked outloud. "I mean no work, no Kenny, no Niall. I have no friends."

I looked around as I untangled my hair with my fingers, I gazed over at my Nike's by the door. Should I? I don't know, the apartment could use some light cleaning. I heard squeaking above me, "Oh dear, gross." 

The neighbor's have either the world's loudest bed or loudest moans. I nodded and it got louder, "Yupp. I am going to run." 

Niall Horan

"What's got you so smiley?" Louis bent over. I chuckled, "Love, mate."

"Ah," He touched his toes, "The lovebug has bitten you. I remember that feeling. When you get married and have kids that feeling-" 

"Goes away?" I filled in. 

"Not even close." He smiled, "It grows. Just when you think you couldn't love someone more, you do. There's no magic button or switch that gets flipped, it just happens. You'd do anything to get them to smile or even to look in your direction. Now that's love." Louis smirked as he continued to stretch. "So Nora, she's the one?"

"I don't know, I like to think so." 

"I bet Dawn does too. I mean, we all do. Your time to be happy is now." My smile faded at the mention of her name, Louis noticed, "You know it's rare to find a soulmate, let alone a second time. Don't mess this one up, Horan."

I took a sip of water from my bottle, "Yeah. Come on, one lap." 

After practice, Louis and I walked out to our cars, "You, Nora, and Kenny should come over for dinner tomorrow. We'd love to actually meet her. El won't get off my ass about meeting her." 

I unlocked the black Range Rover, "Yeah, I'll run it by Nor. And I'll let you know."

"Good. Well, I'll hopefully see you tomorrow, mate." Louis said as he climbed into his silver SUV. 

"Hopefully." I smiled as he took off. 

. . . . 

I walked into the apartment to find Nora sitting on the couch watching a soap opera. I smirked as I looked at her grey shorts and blue shirt. She was so focused that she didn't hear me come in. 

"No!" She yelled, "Mario! You love Shantelle not Monica! Damn it!" 

I laughed, "Intense stuff, huh?" 

She jumped, "You have no idea. I don't know what you wanted for dinner. I was going to wait to start cooking till you got home. We have stuff for-" I shook my head, "No baby. No cooking for you tonight. You, me, and Kenny are going to go out."

"Kenny went with my parents. So-" She stood up and shrugged, "You'll have to settle for just me." 

I closed the space between us, and kissed her, "That sounds perfect. How about you get dolled up and we will go somewhere extremely fancy."

Her eyes lit up, "Ooo, so like a date?" 

"Of course, princess. Now, it's-" I looked down at my watch, "5:30. How about you be ready by 6: 45?" 

She threw herself at me and pressed his lips softly to mine, "You are the best, Niall James. I love you so." 

I kissed her nose, "I love you more." 

A/N: Sorry that i haven't update in such a long time! I have my sweet sixteen on FRIDAY. And I am kind of freakin out right now! But it's 50's themed so that'd be cool and then my actual birthday is on Saturday and ugh. STRESS. 

Anyway, Nora's and Niall's outfits for their date are above. I am putting them a chapter early so I can have an image next chapter. (NO, NIALL IS NOT PROPOSING! Jeez(; )
