Epilogue
Allison’s POV
*1.5 Years Later*
I can’t even describe how hectic things were for the first 7 months after I was revealed as “Niall’s Secret Sister”. The media went crazy, fans went crazy, and most of all; I went crazy. I almost had a meltdown multiple times. I didn’t expect so much attention at first. I thought the world would get over it after the first month, but no, it lasted much longer.
I couldn’t leave the flat for a good month. Every time I tried to leave, I’d get attacked by fans and the paparazzi. It didn’t just make my life harder, but it made me and Zayn’s relationship harder as well. We had finally got things settled between us and we couldn’t even go out and grab a bite to eat because it would be risking out life.
Thankfully, Zayn didn’t give up on me as easily as I thought he would. I assumed that he would move on and be with someone who he could go out in public with and actually take out on dates and not have to be stuck in an average sized flat with. It surprised me when Zayn did whatever he could to make me comfortable. He felt awful that I couldn’t leave so he’d always be a gentleman and go out and buy me a coffee or even a snack; I never asked him to, he’d just do it.
I also had support from the rest of the boys as well. I was surprised that they were being questioned less than I was. Niall did get a few more questions that the rest of One Direction, but not to my extent. It was mostly Niall’s idea to keep me inside for as long as it took until the paps calmed down. It was part of his “brotherly instinct” he explained to me, but neither of us thought it would last as long as it did. 7 months was a little much.
Out of all those months, I did get one major thing accomplished. I graduated from high school! Believe it or not, when you’re working more than 10 hours a day, because you have nothing else to do, and you’re taking online classes, you got a lot done. I graduated months earlier than I was supposed to! I feel amazing. I felt as though I finally had the opportunity to accomplish so much more than I would have been able to do without a high school diploma. Although I wasn’t an A+ student, majority of my grades were in the high B range and I did get a few A’s as well. But in science, I ended in the mid C’s, I wasn’t too happy about that, but I still felt good knowing that I at least tried.
I’ve even thought about going to college.
But that decision is still a distant one. It’s only popped up in my mind recently, but it’s not something I’m going to rush into just yet.
A year and a half later, it almost amazes me to know just how far I’ve gotten since in the past few years. I hardly remember what it felt like living with Shawn and my mum (who recently passed away from an overdose... I was sad, but she’s in a better place now) and what it felt like when I was had just moved in with the boys.
All I can remember now is all the good things that have happened since. My relationship with my brother is better than I ever thought it would be, I got an education, an amazing and loving boyfriend, and also great friendships that I know will last for a long time.
Since I’m talking about our relationship, I might as well describe out sex life. The best word to correctly describe it would be... nonexistent.
Yes, I’m serious, nothing has happened. With all the bands stress and my schooling, and all the boys on our back about being sexual we haven’t gone farther than showering together. Even then, it didn’t last long before Niall yelled at Zayn for influencing me wrongly and ‘forbidding’ it from happening. But again, we’ve grown use to Niall’s behaviour and over protective lectures. So now, every time we get a lecture we get more joy than discipline out of it.
Right now, I’m sitting with Niall on the couch, he told me he wanted to discuss something that he found was majorly important.
“Can you tell me now?” I asked impatiently.
“I’m just worried you won’t be happy about it.”
I shook my head and rolled my eyes. I looked over at him, getting a bit distracted by his brown roots and blonde dye. It made me thankful that my mum was a natural blonde and I got blessed with natural blonde hair.
“How bad could it be?”
“I guess I’ll just rip the band-aid,” Niall mumbled, “Dad wants to talk to you.”
I couldn’t help but gasp slightly. “What?”
“He knows about what happened with Shawn, I told him about it.” He admitted. “He feels awful, he wants to talk things through with you.”
I stayed quiet. Last time I saw my dad, he denied me as his daughter, and he was disappointed that Niall had brought me into his life. I’m just worried he’s only accepting me because he feels bad.
“It’s all fake,” I mumbled.
“What’s fake?”
“His reasoning to see me, he just feels bad.” I spoke looking right at Niall. “If he really cared, he would have talked to me before he found out anything about my past.”
“He’s still your dad, Ally. He’ll explain everything when you see him.”
“...and when is this happening?”
Then the door bell rang and I knew immediately that Niall had set him up to come now. I wasn’t sure why I felt so nervous. I guess because this is all so sudden.
“Niall!” I yelled, crossing my arms over my chest angrily. “You invited him now?”
“You’ll thank me later, sis.” He walked over to the door and let him in. He gave our dad a quick hug before whispering something in his ear. Niall brought him over to the room I was in and then left me alone with him.
I looked down and my hands, inspecting them rather than looking at my biological father who had denied me as his child his entire life. I felt the weight of his body dip the seat that was next to me. I kept my face downwards not willing to look him in the eye.
“Allison...”
He paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts and trying to put them into words.
“I’m so sorry.” He whispered.
I shook my head keeping my head down while talking. “It’s fine, everything that happened is done, I’ve moved on and I’m living my life perfectly.”
“Not just about that.” He said. “I’m sorry about that way I treated you last time I saw you. I’m sorry for dismissing you and not even giving you the chance you really deserved. I messed up, and I regret everything I’ve ever done to you. I should have welcomed you as easily as I welcome Niall. You are my child and I’m willing to do what it takes to make you feel like a part of the Horan family.”
“I’m fine with how things are, I’m not holding a grudge on you, but I just don’t want to feel like and intruder to the family. I’m fine leaving things the way they are now. I’m happy as it is anyways.”
“I promise you’ll be even happier if you let me regain your trust, I love you no matter what. I may never have shown it because of everything that happened, but I always loved you. You’re my only daughter. I know my wife would love to meet you, I’ve told her about you a lot recently and we’ve been keeping up with the new reports and such to see how you’re doing. You also have an older brother, older than Niall, Greg. He’s also been keeping up with the media. Our whole entire family wants you in their lives.”
I didn’t notice at first, but a small smile formed on my lips. I couldn’t help it. It felt nice hearing that my family wanted me involved in their lived.
“Really?” I asked, partially in disbelief.
“I swear our family wants everything to be the way it should have been many, many, years ago.”
I noticed that Niall had just peeked into the room. He was checking on us, and I’m also positive that he has been listening to us this entire time.
“I want you, Niall and the boys to come over tomorrow, we’ll have a family BBQ, and I’ll introduce you to everyone and move on from there.”
“Woah, Woah, this is a little overwhelming, can we take things a bit slower. Can I just meet everyone in small groups or something?”
Niall walked into the room with a large smile on his face. “I’ll call Mum and Greg right now, I’ll set something up, Ally has to at least meet them today, and the rest of the fam can wait a bit until she’s settled.”
I couldn’t help but smile. It’s like everything is turning out perfectly, better than I ever expected.
~
It’s been a week since I met Niall’s mom and my other brother Greg. They’re great people, and I’m serious about that! They remind me so much of Niall and I was so surprised to see how welcoming they were to me.
Niall and our dad had planned for us all to meet again next week with more family, I’m still a bit flustered about everything, but I know it’ll be for the better.
Sitting in the flat waiting for Zayn to come back from going out with friends was boring. He’s hardly been home at the flat much lately. He’s been bus with work, and same thing with the rest of the boys. I had just finished showering and applying ocean waves to my hair when I got a text from Zayn.
On my way over, get dressed; I have a surprise for
you. It’s nothing fancy; I’ll be there in 5. I love you
- Zayn
I couldn’t help but smile. I didn’t bother replying because I’d be seeing him in a few minutes. I also couldn’t help but get excited. I’ve been seeing less of Zayn lately and I can’t wait to spend some quality time with him.
Zayn’s POV
I can’t help but feel like my life is nothing but a dream. I’m blessed with a job I love, a wonderful family, great friends, and most of all, a girl that I love with every inch of my heart. After everything we’ve been through, I know that we’re stronger than ever before. I know that now we both know where we want our relationship to go and how we want it to work.
We both love each other and that’s all we need to continue on with our relationship.
I’ve been busy lately and with the boys’ help, I’ve been able to succeed in the surprise I’m about to give Ally. This is a step in our relationship that I believe that we’re ready to take, and I know that Ally will feel the same way once I show her.
“Do you trust me?” I asked Ally, while pulling into the parking lot.
She nodded. “Of course, why?”
I smiled at her, stepping out of the car and around to her side. I opened the car door for her, grabbed her hand and pulled her out.
“I’m going to blind fold you, okay?” I informed, placing a kiss on her hand.
She looked a bit confused, but she nodded. “This better be worth it, Malik.”
I chuckled at her hesitant voice. “I promise,”
I turned her around placed the piece of fabric over her eyes. One I tied it firmly around her eyes, I confirmed with Ally that she couldn’t see. I then wrapped my arms around her waist, her body relaxed as her back rested against my chest.
I began to slowly guide her, leading us to her surprise destination. I left soft kisses on her neck, causing her to giggle every once in a while as my excitement grew.
“How much farther?” She asked.
“We’re just about there. I had to park farther away so you wouldn’t be able to see.”
She laughed lightly as I removed my arms from around her waist. I grabbed a hold of her hand to guide her up the small stair case. She stumbled slightly, but I helped her regain her balance.
“You ready,” I asked.
She nodded eagerly.
I stepped behind her, my hands untying the fabric from around her eyes.
“Welcome home, baby.” I said just as the fabric dropped to the floor.
Allison’s POV
I couldn’t help but gasp. Right in front of me was a beautiful, amazing, large home. I can hardly believe that this is me and Zayn’s place!
I walked into the house, and it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. It was completely furnished, pictures of Zayn and I were placed around the house and I already felt at home.
“I-Is this actually... ours?” I asked, turning to face my beloved boyfriend.
His smile only confirmed my question. I couldn’t help but jump in excitement. I wrapped my arms around Zayn’s neck, pulling him down towards my mouth.
He kissed me back eagerly, smiling onto my lips. I help him tightly; his arms were loosely around my waist as he pulled away and leaned his forehead against mine.
“This is all ours, it’s finally just us. Full privacy, no rules...” A cheeky smile formed on my beloved boyfriends lips.
I giggled. “Is this what you and the boys were doing all week? Making this place liveable for us?”
He nodded. “They helped design this place and furnish is. I told them not to come visit us for a week because I want you all to myself.”
I smiled at him, grabbing his hand. “Show me around,” I said, winking at him. He knew exactly what I was thinking.
“Where should we start? Upstairs, perhaps?”
I giggled again as he pulled me speedily towards the staircase. There were rose pedals scattered across the stairs and as we followed it I noticed it led towards what I assume must be the master bedroom.
I walked into the room, Zayn was right behind me. At this moment, I don’t have a care in the world. Right now, my life is perfect. I have everything I could ever ask for...even more. I have family, friends and a boy who loves me just as much as I love him.
I felt my heart pick up its pace as Zayn walked over to me. He was wearing his suite, which is much more formal than what I was wearing; which was a blue tank top and black sweatpants. His arms slipped around my waist as he kissed me passionately.
My hands slowly traced his chest; I felt every muscle and the beat of his heart.
His hands traced the outer shape of my body as his lips trailed down my jaw and towards my neck. His hands tightened around my waist as he began to suck and nibble on my neck, recreating a love bite that had just recently gone away.
I small moan escaped my lips as he continued to nibble on my neck. Zayn’s name was repeatedly coming out in moans; I couldn’t help but make him stop because I wanted more.
I bit my lip as I looked up at him. His eyes looked soft and loving; he smiled at me knowing what was to happen next.
His hands slipped to the hem of my sweatpants, he gave them a small tough before they easily slipped to the floor. I assisted Zayn in peeling my shirt leaving me in nothing but my undergarments.
I watched as Zayn examined my body.
“You’re perfect.” He whispered, loosening the tie around his neck.
I felt a blush form my cheeks as he continued to inspect my.
I took a step closer to Zayn so my toes were right at the tip of his shoes. I leaned up, attaching my lips to his as I began to fumble with the buckle of his held and the zipper of his pants.
The fact that I’ve done this before with other men so many times makes me surprised to feel so nervous to take this step with Zayn.
My loves pants were removed, he was in nothing but boxers. Zayn’s tie was off and as I continued to kiss him, I began unbuttoning his shirt.
Things got heated fast, although we were both in hardly any clothing I felt myself beginning to sweat. Zayn’s hand was touching every part of my body. His touch left a tingle on my skin, only making me even more eager for things to get a move on.
Zayn hands were now at my breasts, he gave them a gently squeeze before attempting to unclip my bra. I had to help him before removing them. I was surprised at how comfortable I felt being naked in front of him. With Zayn, I never feel like I have to hide anything from him. As long as he loves me, I’ll feel alright.
His hands slipped to my panties, which were swiftly removed. He licked his lips while looking down at me, a mischievous smile appeared on his face before placing a kiss on my lips.
“You’re so beautiful,” He mumbles, “Are you sure about this?”
I nodded.
I was more than sure.
He is everything that I could ever want. He treats me like a lady, respects me, cares for me and most of all, he loves me. He knows me so well, that I feel as though I’ve known him my entire life. He makes me angry, he makes me happy, and he makes me every kind of emotion you can think of.
No matter what, I know that tonight will be the first of many nights where we express our love.
I love Zayn Malik and no matter where life take us, I know that Zayn and I will always stick together; we’ll always make it through. He is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.
Zayn led me over to the bed, laying me carefully. He stripped from his boxers before positioning himself above me.
He kissed the top of my nose as our hands entwined
“I love you, Allison Horan. Forever and always.”
And with that, we made love.
