Love at first sight

Chapter 4: A night under the stars?

Lexi's P.O.V.

He looked so deep in thought. When the elevator dinged after what seemed like an eternity, we made it to the destination.

We walked out of elevator and were met by a gush of air.

Before my eyes was one of the most beautiful scenes. It looked like I was in a romance film.

We were on roof of the hotel and there were twinkling lights hanging from the fences along the vines.

There was a table set for two in the middle of the roof. On the table, there was a vase of roses, and two dinner plates with silverware set up nicely on cloth napkins. There were glasses of wine and glasses of water.

Also on this beautiful roof there is a couch and long sheet hanging on the fence.

Niall was still holding my hand ever since we got out of the car, he guided me over to the table and pulled my chair out. When he sat down, a waiter dressed in a suit and tie came over and served us pasta and breadsticks.

"This is amazing! It's really beautiful." I said really happy for once since my dad died.

Just thinking about him makes me emotional but Niall is really trying to do something nice for me so I'm going to have a good time.

"You really like it?!" he said with his eyes glistening in the moonlight.

"Of course! So what brings you to London right around this time of year?" I asked taking a bite of my breadstick.

"Well since we're on a break, I decided to come back to my flat in London. The boys all live close to me in their own flats so we hang whenever we get a chance." He said eating his spaghetti.

"That's really cool, so if you don't mind me asking, how long's this break?" I truly hoped it was long so he could hang out with me and so we could get to know each other.

"It's for a couple of months actually." he smiled looking down at his food probably thinking the same as I was. "Would you like to see me again after this night?"

"Definitely, you're  my only friend here and you make me smile and I would love to hang out with you more often." I cant believe that I'm falling for someone who'd never feel the same. I mean I wasn't good enough for him...

"So these past years you want to tell me about them?" he asked hesitantly.

I'm glad he wants me to open up to him, I trust him, I'm just scared of him judging me.

"You know you can trust me? I'll be here for you no matter what happens. I care about you, and I hope you trust me because I'd never hurt you or betray you and I just want you to know that." He said grabbing my hand and looking me straight in the eyes.

"Where do I even begin?" I sighed at my dire life.

"How about you tell me about your family?" the moment those words escaped his lips I started crying.

"I-I'm sorry I don't m-mean to cry in front of you but I-" he embraced me with his calming body. His sweet aroma made me bury my face into his chest.

"It's okay, let it out I'm here for you." He cooed softly rubbing my back and comforting me in the time of need.

I sat back up ready to tell him about me and my life story.

He swept a strand of hair out of my face and tucked it securely behind my ear.

"Well my dad died in the beginning of this year, because of lung cancer" I said with tears falling down my face," he has been fighting for years and well I got bullied at school for always crying and being sensitive."

He still had me protectively wrapped in his loving arms.

"Lex, I'm so sorry for your loss" he did care about me," I didn't mean to make you upset by asking." he said sweetly.

"It's okay I mean I've never opened up to anybody about it because I was always judged and called weak." I sighed and let more tears fall down my cold cheeks.

"..and so that's why I moved away, I was hoping to start over new and not let anyone bully me." I said.

"Lexi, no matter what happens, I'll never think of you as weak or sensitive." he said tearing up." I think of you as strong and loving."

"Thank you Niall, I really appreciate everything you've done for me today. It shows that you truly do care and I cant tell you how much that means to me." I whispered.

"Forever and always, I'll be here for you." he said kissing me on the cheek.

"Can we go lay on the couch? I'm kind of tired." I said shyly hoping he wouldn't be mad.

"Of course." He smiled grabbed my hand and walked me over to the couch.

Niall's P.O.V.

As soon as we sat on the couch I could see her eyes drooping. I let her rest her head on my lap while she layed down. We were both watching Lady and the Tramp when she started falling asleep.

I let her sleep until the movie ended because she was so cute when she slept.

At the end of the movie, I thanked and paid the waiter for everything and picked her up bridal style.

I started heading towards the elevator when her eyes started opening.

She smiled at me " I-im sorry for falling asl-" she didn't even finish murmuring the sentence before she fell asleep again.

When I got to the car I laid her seat down in the front seat so she could lay down.

When we got to her flat I gently woke the beautiful girl of my dreams, and carried her to the door.

She stood up and said quietly " Thank you so much for everything tonight, I had an amazing time and would love to do it again."

"No problem, I would love to do it again also." I said smiling.

I hugged her goodnight not wanting to ever let her go, and then I kissed her on the forehead and whispered in her ear, "Sweet dreams, my love."
