Ariella’s POV

“Ariella Edwards, Will you be my Princess again?” He asked me nervously. I stayed silent, taking in the moment as I debated in my mind whether or not to do so.

“Ariella?” he asked quietly. He had his puppy eyes, bright blue orbs staring right at me. Alright. I’ll give him once more chance,

“Alright Niall, but-" I was cut off by him hugging me tight, nearly making us fall out of the tree.

“NIALL BE CAREFUL!!” I yelled while laughing as he removed himself from me.

“Sorry love.” He said while chuckling, placing a smiling kiss to my temple. "Continue. But?" He added.

"But, if this happens again..." I started. Niall's smile faded, as his face hardened.

"It won't, Ariella." He promises me. We stared at each other for a good few seconds before he breaks into a smile.

"Alright, alright." I smile. “Hey, I wanna show you something.” I said, remembering the lights that I had hung. It was getting a tad dark out, and this would be the usual time that I turn it on, anyway.

“Really…?” He said dragging the word out, getting the wrong idea. I smacked his arm playfully, rolling my eyes.

“Check this out.” I said as I got up carefully, and walking over to the side of the tree, and turning on the lights.



(Imagine it was dark obviously, and the people weren’t there :P )

“Wow..." He exhales. "Ariella...” he looks at the lights around him, watching branch by branch flicker on. I smiled to myself as I am satisfied with the appearance of the tree. “Did you do this?” He finally asks.

“Duh, of course." I stated as if it was obvious. "Ever since you left, before the Brittney situation of course, I decorated the tree a little bit more so when you returned, it would be special…” I continued, the un-controlling heat rising up to my cheeks as I turn away.

“But then the whole situation with Brittney happened…” he trailed off. I nodded my head.

“Since the situation with her, I stopped coming since I thought that you weren’t going to keep your promise after all… But I found myself coming here anyways… I made the pathway here a like more noticeable, and decorated the tree a bit more, like I said.” He nodded, agreeing.

“You thought that I wasn’t coming back, huh?” I shook my head. “Come here,” he said, stretching his arms out for me to take. I sat back down and got into his embrace. He rubbed his hands down my arm that was exposed, bringing a bit of warmth. “I will always come back for you. I’ve said it a hundred times, and I’ll say it a hundred more. At least until you believe it.” He said before kissing my hair. I sighed, sinking into him.

“I know. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be.” He kissed my hair again. There was a comfortable silence, each other taking in our presence. It's been too long since he hasn't been here, too long since we have done this. Just like old times.

“You know, sometimes, when I felt down, I came here like you said. I even stayed overnight sometimes… I remembered you telling me that. Do you?” I said adjusting myself so I could see his face. He looked down to me and smiled slightly. Then it turned to a frown.

“Yeah, I remember that. But you know that I couldn’t be here...” he trailed off.

“I know you weren't. Which was the reason why I came." he was about to speak but I cut him off before he could comment in his apology. "But you are now. That’s what counts. Really." I softly smile at him. "I missed you.” I whispered. He smiled, showing his glorious teeth.

“I missed you too." He whispers back, squeezing me tighter, a chill running down my spine from the breeze passing by. "Come on, let’s get inside. I can feel you shivering through this blanket.” He chuckles at me, releasing me from his grasp. I agreed and turned off the tree’s lights. I climbed down first, and waited for Niall to come down after, my arms wrapping themselves around myself.

“You have really gotten better at climbing haven’t you? Since you put up all those lights up..." He plops down before walking over to me. "Even at the top!” he says, gazing up at the top. “I don’t think I could get up there even if ya paid me.” He said, looking astonished.

"Practice." I laughed and began to walk back the way I came, when I was tugged back. Niall gave me a questioning look.

“Forgetting something?” he asked me. I thought for a moment, and shook my head no. He held my hands for a moment and before I knew it, I felt a pair of soft lips on mine. I was shocked at first but then kissed him back. After a couple minutes, he pulled away, breathing heavily.

“Niall…” I started.

“Like I was going to let you walk away from our tree without a kiss now, hmm?” he said while smirking. When he first brought me here, he did the same thing. I laughed at the memory.

“I remember… How cute.” I said while pulling him to walk along the pathway. He grabbed my left hand and intertwined it with his right as his left was carrying the blanket.

“Not as cute as you are.” He said while rubbing his face in the crook of my neck. I tried moving away, it tickled but he didn’t let me move away as he took his right hand and held my waist.

“Niall! S-stop it-t ple-ease!” I stuttered through my laughter.

“Why should I?"

“Because it tickles!”

“How is that a bad thing?” he continues.

“Ple-ease, just sto-op!!” I said, not able to contain my giggles.

“Alright, alright.” He says while retreating from my neck.

“Thank you.” I said while catching my breath. There was like five seconds of silence between us before he decided to pick me up and throw me onto his shoulder before sprinting.

“Niall...” I exhaled.

“I know about your leg babe. I’ll do the walking for now.” He said while chuckling.

“Can I at least be comfortable? Like a piggy back?” I pouted even though I knew he couldn't see me.

“Anything for my Princess.” He said truthfully before stopping and adjusting me so I was comfortable on his back. We began to walk, well he, and stopped in front of the wall.

"I know this is a bit sudden, since we just got back together, but... I love you, please know that." He randomly states. My heart fluttered. I found myself smiling at his words.

"I love you too Nialler."
