Isabel&Niall

Isabel’s POV

I stood in the closet of my room, I was special to have a walk-in. Niall has been gone from our flat all day, and I missed him. But, I knew he was planning something with the boys today, or maybe they just had work.

Sometimes it was hard, dating Niall. I loved him to pieces, but the press, fans, and him being away. I truly didn’t mind the fans because I used to be one. Yes, Niall actually did date a Directioner, me. At least the other Directioners were nice.

Since we started dating three years ago, the boys of one Direction have just gotten bigger and bigger. I was fifteen then, and now I’m eighteen. Sure, we haven’t been dating the entire three years, due to certain issues, but still.

About a few months ago, Niall asked me to move in, and I gladly accepted. That’s where I am today. But, instead I’m standing in my walk-in closet of Niall’s and my room. Thankfully there was two identical closets in the room. One for me and one for Niall.

All Niall said to me, on his way out this morning was, ‘Dress nice, for tonight, babe. I have something special planned.’ It was very simple, but I knew I had to get dressed up. Maybe not that much, because I knew Niall didn’t like anything to flashy.

I looked around, carefully, trying to find the right outfit. It was quite hard because I had no idea what he had planned. And come on, this was Nialler we are talking about. You know, the carefree mofo? And, also the magical leprechaun. Anything could happen, I swear.

My eyes spotted something, quite lovely. It was a dress. A dress that I remember Niall buying me a few months ago. I hadn’t had a chance to wear it yet, and I figured now would be the perfect time, of course. It wasn’t to flashy, and it totally fit my style.

It was a midnight blue dress, that was strapless. It had a silver waistband, and the top half looked a bit like a corset. But, the bottom half kind of puffed out, and kind of resembled a dress version of a tutu. It reached just above my knees, and it was very, very comfortable. On my feet, I simply wore my silver sparkly TOMS. Trust me, you will probably never catch me wearing heels. Those things are like a death trap.

I quickly got dressed, as I knew I had thirty minutes left. I barely ever wore makeup, because I just didn’t like it. It covered up me, and made me feel insecure with it on. And, I was keeping my hair down, because it was already straightened from earlier. I smiled, at my reflection when I was done.

I didn’t think I needed an actual bag, so I grabbed my white wristlet from the kitchen table, that held my phone and a bit of money. Hopefully I would be able to figure out what’s going on before it actually happens. But, I knew I wouldn’t because those boys are so unpredictable.

I walked out of the flat, smiling as I descended from the stairs. I heard the comforting sounds of the crunching ground under my feet. I noticed my wristlet shaking, a bit, and it took me a few seconds to realize it meant I was receiving a text message.

I mentally face palmed myself, as I unzipped my wristlet pulling out my iPhone 4S. I was thankful I had one, but it was a gift from my parents from my last birthday. I slid the arrow, and typed in the familiar passcode, only selected others knew.

I saw a text from Niall, and just seeing ‘Leprechaun<33’ at the top made my heart beat faster.

From: Leprechaun<33

Go to the park, meet you under the tunnel

My heart skipped a beat as I read the text, and read it again. I just couldn’t believe it. I know it’s been awhile, but he still had me feeling like this. The whole plan was just for me to meet him at the playground, and there wasn’t an original spot to actually meet up at.

And I knew what he was referring to. There was a cave replica, made out of plastic, underneath one of the slides. But, because I couldn’t recognize the obvious, I had called it a tunnel, and it just stuck between us two.

I smiled as I knew it wouldn’t be a long walk, because the playground was only a block away. Maybe five minutes, maybe two. But, I was so excited, I had a small bounce in my step as I walked, my hair lightly bouncing up and down.

When I arrived at the park, I immediately squinted my eyes to see if I could see anyone. But, it was pretty dark, and I couldn’t really tell. I had a giant grin on my face that just seemed to get bigger and bigger as I neared the ‘tunnel’.

I stood next to it, and ducked so I was sitting inside of it. Niall wasn’t there, but there was a small picnic basket. I sat on my knees, and I noticed a piece of paper sticking out of it. I frowned a bit confused, and I pulled it out.

Turn around. X –N

I bit my bottom lip, even though I was sure I looked pretty ridiculous when I did so. I turned around, slowly, a bit nervous. This was one of the biggest things he’s done, and Niall loves to spoil me.

Niall was there, and damn he was just so perfect. He was wearing a black polo shirt, with his beige khakis. It was a typical look for him, he even had on his basketball sneakers. He was leaning in, but not fully in yet.

Like me, he looked absolutely speechless.

I sheepishly grabbed some of his shirt and both of my hands, pulling him towards me. I had never been this forward, but I was just going with my instincts. My lips soon attached to his, and our lips moved in sync.

His hand moved to the small of my back, and his other caressed my cheek. My arms now hung loosely around his neck, as fireworks erupted around us. My stomach filled with a million butterflies, and I felt like time had stopped. Like, it was only us two on earth. I couldn’t shake this feeling, either.

I didn’t want to.

Was it to cheesy if I said, he was the one? Whatever, I know he is. And trust me, you will never know the feeling until you’ve felt it. I used not to believe in this stuff, but now I do.

When we finally broke apart, I was breathless, my cheeks a bit flushed. I glanced at Niall, to find that his eyes were focused on my face. He had a small blush on his face, as well. His gaze was so passionate, and filled with so many emotions at once.

It was these moments when anyone looking in could tell we were one hundred percent, in love. There was no question about it.

“What do you think?” Niall asked, and you could tell he was slightly proud of his whole plan. I laughed, the Irish boy was always a confident lad.

“Amazing. I bet Harry had fun planning this all out.” I joked, and gently nudged his side, with a teasing smile plastered on my face.

“Tha- Hey!” He protested, in mock sadness. But, it only lasted a few seconds, before he erupted in laughter. Hearing him laugh made me laugh, of course. I bet if anyone saw us laughing, we would be a sight to see. Eyes shut tight, holding stomach, face beet red.

Niall quickly pecked me on the lips, when we calmed ourselves down. Then he began unpacking the small picnic basket. My eyes widened in surprise, as I saw how much food he had fit inside of it. I’m not going to lie, we both eat a ton.

It wasn’t anything fancy, I didn’t expect it to be. The only fancy thing here was Niall and me. We looked a bit odd dressed up in the middle of a playground. There was ham sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, and roast beef. One of each, of course. But, each of them had no crust because it just annoyed both of us.

Then a bag of regular crisps for each of us. I grinned as he pulled out two bottles of coke. I carefully opened mine in case it overflowed and it got all over the place. I succeeded, but it didn’t look like Niall had the same luck.

His was apparently shaken, and he wasn’t paying attention. I almost laughed out loud, as it spilt all over him. It only landed on his shirt, saving him my ‘you peed yourself’ comments.

“Shit!” He cussed under his breath, as I silently laughed.

“Aww!” I said, with a small giggle escaping my mouth.

“Don’t need this then..” Niall said, with a mischievous smirk. He smoothly pulled off his shirt, making me blush and look away.

“Isabel! You know you love it!” He said, doing a fake shimmy with his shoulders.

I looked at him and laughed, he always knew how to make me smile. I saw him lean forward, and I closed my eyes preparing for another heart melting kiss. But, instead, I felt his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him, now opening my eyes a bit confused.

“You’re it!” He whispered, then dived out of the tunnel. He sprinted towards the stairs to the actual playground. He climbed up, by the top of the slide, leaving me standing there.

“Niall! I’m in a dress!” I said, jumping up, and out of the tunnel. I stood at the bottom of the stairs, a small frown on my face, with a smile fighting to be seen.

“Hmm, and maybe if you run I’ll get to see something.” Niall said, a bit cheekily, adding a wink at the end. “Kidding, but not kidding. It’s a lovely dress on you, though.” He added, swiftly, before I countered his joke.

I grinned, and began to climb the steps, two at a time. Soon enough I was a few feet from the leprechaun, but he still hadn’t move. I take a few steps closer, and find him dramatically patting his pants pockets. I make a face of confusion, utterly confused to what he was doing.

“Um, Niall?” I asked as he pulled out a small velvet, black box.

It all made sense to me now. Or at least, I thought I knew what was going to happen. Was he going to propose? Oh my god, maybe he was? I just wasn’t sure. Of course, being me, I was wrong, but still.

I felt small pools of salt water fill up into my eyes, and I couldn’t help it when they spilt over. I furiously wiped them away, embarrassed of my actions.

“Isabel, don’t cry.” Niall whispered, as he bent down on one knee. My head filled with millions emotions, but every one of them was happy, or loving.

“Isabel, will you be my Princess, forever?” He asked, in a tone lower then his normal voice.

“Yes.”
