Small Talk (Niall Horan)

Chapter 47

"Don't worry babe, you didn't. And we should definitely go and play tennis one of this days."

"Sure! I'd love to." I responded. "But anyways, do you want to head to dinner?" I changed the subject.

"Yes! Let's go."

"You're up for mexican food right?"

"Of course! I've been savoring it since the moment I first got on the plane in Ireland."

"Perfect, let's get going then." I grabbed his hand and dragged him across the room because I was honestly starving. 

There was a bit of traffic, since the restaurant was a bit far from the hotel, but it was totally worthy it. This restaurant had the best carne asada I had ever tasted and I had been to many different carne asada restaurants. I didn't bring Harry or Louis and Eleanor here, I was saving this place especially for my boyfriend.

"We're here, finally!" I announced as I put the car in parking.

"Yay!" Niall responded before taking in his surroundings. "It looks like a cabin!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's to give it that rural and authentic vibe." I explained before the valet guy opened the door. 

*Disclaimer: Everything Sofia will speak with other people from here on, while Niall is in Mexico, will be spoken in Spanish, but I will obviously write it in English. I just wanted to let you know, since I'll probably have Niall comment on her Spanish.*

"Hi, table for two." I told the hostess as soon as we entered the restaurant. It was kind of busy, so before she could say anything else I asked "Can we go upstairs?" Since the restaurant had two floors and the 2nd one was always less crowded.

"Sure." She answered as she led the way. 

"You sound so sexy speaking Spanish." Niall whispered in my ear as we went up the stairs, making me blush. 

"Shut up." I smacked his arm playfully.

I ordered the food for both of us, in Spanish obviously. And then Niall spent the next five minutes trying to imitate me, and utterly failing as I laughed at him.

"Don't laugh. Teach me some words." He whined.

"Fine, fine. What do you want to learn?"

"I already know how to say the basics like: Hola, como estás, you estoy bien. But let's say, i want to order another beer, how would I say that?" Typical Irish man.

"You would say: Me puedes traer una cerveza." I told him and then he tried to repeat it. It didn't sound as bad as I thought it would. He was actually pretty good. And that's how we spent all of our evening, me teaching Niall spanish phrases, and curiously most of them were food related.

"The food was amazing, the best mexican food I have ever tried." Niall told me once we were back in the car as he patted his belly. 

"I told you it was the best. That's why it's my favorite."

"I can see why."

"So, my family was wondering if they could meet you tomorrow?" I suddenly asked mid drive.

"Yeah, of course. I can't wait to meet them in person." Niall replied.

"Great! They're really nice people, my parents are really laid back and make everyone feel welcome, so don't be nervous or anything. And before you say you weren't nervous, I noticed the pitch change in your voice, don't deny it." That's how much I knew him.

"I am a bit nervous actually." Niall admitted. "But thank you for saying that, it makes me feel better to know that they won't give me a hard time."

"Yeah, don't worry about that." I smiled at him.

We spent the whole night just hanging around in his room, 'watching movies', because obviously, who watches movies when you haven't seen your boyfriend in a month? Only a delusional person who doesn't love their partner, that's who. So, to sum it up, we spent the whole night making out and yes, we even slept together. I had craved being with him so much, he completed me. I was beyond happy that I was going to get to spend the following weeks with him. This is going to be the longest time we will been together since we started dating, and I'm so looking forward to it, we're going to have an amazing time. 

10 minutes before 1 am I told him I needed to leave. I had told my parents that I would be back by 1 am tops and I intended on keeping my word. I was going to be on my best behavior so they would let me spend as much time as I could with Niall.

"No, why do you have to leave?" He wined.

"My parents are nice, but not that nice. They don't like me spending the night with you."

"But they know you spend the night with me every time we're together." He stated.

"They don't really ask me and I don't really tell them. Which is fine by me. But they obviously won't let me spend the night with you while you're here. They're still Mexican parents and they are very strict about that."

"Fine. I don't want them to get mad at me before I even meet them." Niall told me with a frown on his face. So I stood on my tiptoes as I leaned in to kiss him one final time before leaving. 

"I love you baby, see you tomorrow."

"Bye petal, I love you too." He told me with one final goodbye hug.
