Ch. 35- Vacation

"Nicole, wake up," I heard Niall whisper into my ear. My eyes fluttered open to see Niall above me. He had a grin on his face, "Good morning, beautiful," He whispered into my ear, before pressing his lips against mine. We parted and I pulled myself out of bed.

"We probably should get ready to leave," Niall said, "It's ten, and I want to leave at around 11:30, because it's a four hour drive to the beach."

I nodded, "Okay, that sounds good. Our bags are already packed, so all we have to do is pack the car."

I walked into the bathroom, so I could change and get washed up. I put on a pair of shorts and a shirt. I threw on a pair of flip flops and decided against wearing makeup. I walked downstairs, to see Niall eating breakfast. I made myself a piece of toast and joined him at the counter.

"I already reserved a hotel," Niall told me. I smiled, "Thanks, and I have some food for in the car."

"Wow... I'm surprised we're so prepared," Niall replied, "If this was us and the boys, we would never be done."

I quietly laughed, "That's for sure."

I finished eating and headed back up to our bedroom. I brushed my teeth and put my hair up. Niall was already dressed and taking our suitcases down to the car. I grabbed the cosmetics bag and carried it out to the car.

We would only be using the front seats, so I tossed the bag into the back seats. I walked back upstairs and grabbed my suitcase and two pillows from our bed; one for Niall, one for me. I walked back out to the car and put the two pillows in the front seat. I put my suitcase in the trunk.

I walked back into the house, "Is that all we needed to bring to the car?" I asked. Niall nodded, "Yeah, we'll just have to eat lunch in about an hour then head over to the beach."

I grinned, "Sounds good."

I messed with the case covering my phone, as Niall drove the car down the highway. We had been in the car for around an hour now, and I was already bored. Niall and I hadn't said much. He was too concentrated on the road, so I was staring out the window.

"I'm bored," I mumbled, mostly to myself.

"Text one of your friends or something," Niall suggested.

"I already did," I replied, "They all had to go..."

"Well, then I don't know," Niall replied. I decided that I was hungry. I reached into the the bag of food in the back. I grabbed two granola bars, "Hungry?" I asked, offering one to Niall. He nodded, and took it. He ate it, as one hand controlled the steering wheel.

"How much longer?" I asked. Niall groaned, "I know you already know, Nicole."

I continued to stare out the window again, watching the cars on the highway drive by. I got bored, so I concentrated on the speed his car was going, "You're going too fast," I told him, bluntly. He slowed the car down.

"Now you're going too slow," I replied. Niall sped the car up. I looked at the speed, "Okay, now you're too-"

"Nicole, just sleep or something," Niall muttered, "I don't need you looking over my shoulder the whole time I'm driving."

"Do you want me to drive?" I suggested. He shook his head, "No, I'm fine."

I sighed, and leaned my head into the pillow I had placed against the door. I closed my eyes, trying to sleep. I was having trouble, so I shifted around a couple times. I decided to try something else. I grabbed my phone and plugged a pair of headphones in. I put the headphones in my ear and played some music. I laid my head back into the pillow and allowed the music to slowly put me to sleep.
