Better Than Words

At first I think I’m dreaming. Then I wake up enough to realize that I truly am hearing Niall’s voice. I open my eyes to find Niall sitting on my bed.
He pushes back my hair. “I’m sorry babe, but they are showing a documentary on tv about your baseball team.”
“The A’s?” I ask sleepily.
“Yes. Maybe I shouldn’t have woken you up.” He says quietly.
“Are you kidding? Of course you should have. Let’s go watch it.” I reply, much more awake now.
Niall laughs. “Ok then, let’s go.”
He takes my hand and leads me to the couch. We cuddle up together under a blanket and watch for the next couple hours.
Niall falls asleep there first. I stay awake for awhile, enjoying his strong arms around me and feeling the rise and fall of his chest.
