Niall:

We had already been at the club for nearly 3 hours, and I wasn't tired one bit. I was sure I could stay up all night if I wanted to. I knew that Harry had been wanted to get out of there for a while, but I didn't think it would be right to leave my own party. 

Harry's hands travelled to my waist again as our bodies pulsed to the music. Luckily my family had left to go to their hotel across the street a few hours ago.

"It's so warm in here." I muttered.

"Then take your shirt off." He mumbled against my neck. I felt my knees go weak as his fingers fumbled with the buttons on my shirt.

"No, I don't think that would be appropriate." I said.

"Then lets go somewhere where it would be..." He said starting to pull me in the direction of the door.

"We can't leave Harry." I stated trying to stop him.

"The boys checked into a hotel tonight, so we'd have the place to ourselves." He said.

I felt a stiring excitement in the pit of my stomach.

"I guess we could go." I said.

"You can thank everyone in the thank you note.

I groaned. 300 thank you notes. I couldn't wait to get on thoose.

"Don't worry, Boo I'll help." He said. 

As we made our way to the door I noticed a huge mound of gifts that my eyes had somehow bypassed the whole night.

"What about thoose?" I asked.

"The lads are going to bring them to the house, you can open them tomorrow." 

"What am I going to do with all that stuff?" I asked.

He shrugged and pulled the door open for me. Tonight I didn't mind being treated a like the girl.

We climbed into his car and he started it up.

"Harry?" I said.

He turned to look at me.

"Come here." I whispered. 

He chuckled and leaned over to me catching my lips in his. It wasn't a heat kissed, but full of love. It was perfect.

"Thank you, for everything." I whispered.

"You derseved it Boo." He said.

"That reminds me, I have something to give you." I whispered, letting my fingers grace forward to latch with his. His hand was warm and I leaned into the touch, my stomach in knots for what was about to happen. His blue eyes found mine, and his other hand came towards my face, lifting my chin up, so I could stare at him: despite our obvious height difference. I smiled at this beautiful boy, and let my fingers get caught in his blond locks.

"Yes, boo?" he said back, his voice quiet like mine. We were alone in our New York house; listening to the roar of city noise below: our legs entwined. I watched the lights of the town flash across Niall's oracling skin and I felt my heart pick up pace. I looked down at my thighs, gathering what I was about to say.

"Niall, I've loved you for a very long time. I'm assured you know this." I chuckled, and Niall leaned forward and rubbed our noses together. I blushed at the small, simple gesture. "Yeah, so: I love you. I feel like I always have. Like back on X-Factor, sure: there was so much hype about Lou and I, which we mostly just played up for the thrill of watching everyone flip out, but it was never really real. It never has been. Because it's always been you."

Niall pulled back, and looked at me as I continued to speak. His hand traced my cheek as I spoke, and I leaned into the touch every second. "After everything that has happened, and all the struggles we have endured together, as a group and as us two alone, I find myself even more drawn too you. I don't think it'll ever truly go away. If anything, I fall more in love with you everyday. If it's possible."

He scoffed at me, smiling like a goof. I laughed then a bit, finding the confidence in me that was needed to do what I had been wanting to do for ages. "I love your smile, I love your sparkling blue eyes-which by the way are the most beautiful color of blue I've ever seen. I find myself getting lost in them moment after moment." His face was softening and I doubt he really knew where this was going. I took another deep breath: closing my eyes.

"I love it when you make those stupid, sexual jokes. I love your laugh: I love how you can make me calm down instantly. You are the best part of me, Niall. And I love everything about you, every last single milli-speck of what makes you, you." I opened my eyes again, letting them fall into the sea of Niall's. I felt like I was drowning: but it was refreshing. I could get lost anywhere with Niall and it wouldn't matter too me. I felt the box burning against my leg and I untangled myself from the boy. He looked at me startled and sat back against the couch.

"Niall, if you'll allow me too, I'd like to make a commitment to you." I pulled the box out, opening it too show the band of silver, glittering in the dark of the room. The lights of the city once again poured in through the large glass windows and I bit my lip as Niall's mouth fell open. I was on both my knees in front of him, leaning forward.

His eyes closed, and he looked to be holding back tears. "Niall, babe, I promise forever. If you'll promise the same I don't think I'll ever feel un-complete again. Because you complete me and I love you dearly. Promise?" I whispered, inching forward and kissing his cheek.

His eyes sprung open, and he looked at the ring again. He nodded, the tears flowing down his pale cheeks. He nodded vigorously and I laughed at the beautiful sight before me. I took the small ring out of the box and and placed it on his finger.

It was a split second before Niall launched himself onto me, us both sprawling backwards: narrowly avoiding the large, glass coffee table.
