It's finally Friday, which means the beginning of the weekend, no classes for two days and a date night with Niall. Since it's Valentines Day today the mood around the campus is much better and at the same time worst than on other days. You can clearly separate someone who's in a relationship from someone who hasn't found the right person quite yet. It's the smile that gives away the relationship status. Not that happy smile that someone taken or someone single can have, but that special smile where the eyes smile as well and you just can tell that they smile because of someone else, someone special. Maybe it was a sweet good morning text, maybe a present or maybe delicious breakfast, which triggered that smile and made it impossible to stop smiling for the next couple of hours. Breakfast in bed was the reason for mine. I woke up extra early, thinking that Niall probably had planned to surprise me with breakfast in bed as well, and made pancakes for us. A lot of pancakes to be specific. I stacked them all on a plate, which I put on a tray that I found in one of the many cabinets in Niall's kitchen, and put chocolate syrup and wipe cream on the side. Shortly before six and just as I made his coffee, Niall hobbled into the kitchen. We both laughed out loud and I told him to resume back to bed. He hobbled back and I waited a couple of minutes before following him into the bedroom. I put the tray over his legs and sat down across from him. I started feeding him and myself, switching from chocolate syrup to wipe cream, to put on the pancakes, every now and then. We ate and laughed and talked. I tried to get some information about our date tonight but Niall wouldn't say a thing and just shook his head at me with a grin.

With the smile that Niall put on my face, I went to Starbucks to meet up with my brother and it was the first thing he noticed. And I noticed his too, since the smile on his face was just as big as mine. But instead of having breakfast in bed, he had an early Skype video chat with his girlfriend, Jazzy.

And now I sit in my first class, with that smile that just won't go, no matter how hard I try to keep it down. I try to focus and take as many notes as possible but my head keeps drifting over to tonight's date and the dream of the two little kids in the garden. I just can't stop thinking about what Niall might have planned for us. The little surprise he prepared for me when he asked me to his girlfriend was already amazing, our first official date was even more than amazing and now it's Valentine's Day. Niall is a planner and he doesn't do things just half way. And then there's the dream that I can't stop thinking about either. I've had it every night since Monday and I have the strong feeling that it must mean something, else I wouldn't dream it every night, right?

"Ms. Hemmings, are you paying attention?" The professor suddenly calls me out. I blush bright red as everyone else in the room stares at me. I want to disappear and get as far away from everyone as possible.

"No, sir. Sorry, sir." I look down and bite my lip.

"If you want to pass this class, you have to pay attention." He says and I nod understanding. He resumes back to his lecture as my cheeks slowly cool down. The rest of the class stop to stare at me and continue to listen to the professor just like I try to do. I've managed to stop smiling now, because of the embarrassment and all the stares but as soon as I my thoughts drift over to Niall, my smile forms on my lips again. I keep my head down and listen with one ear to the professor. Niall is such a distraction, today more than ever. But I don't mind it at all.

When all my classes are over and the clock finally hits 3 pm, I get into a taxi to rush back to his house. On the way I make a mental note to myself to get a bike for spring. I tell the taxi driver to let me out a few meters away from Niall house, quickly pay him and wait for him to drive off before I walk to the house. I take a deep breath once I'm in front of his door and unlock it with the key for emergencies, which has become my house-key over the last few days. "I'm home!" I exclaim as I enter. I put my bag down and see a little trail of white rose pedals. With a smile on my face, I follow it through to house until it leads me to the bedroom. A white box lies on the bed with a second smaller one on top of it and a card. I feel tears building up in me even though our date hasn't even started yet.

I take the card and open it up, seeing a little message from Niall:

I'll pick you up at 6

Here are few things for you ☺

with lots of love, Niall xx

I put the card down and open up the smaller box first. A beautiful pair of black high heels are inside, making me grin. I put them down and open up the bigger box, which has a dark red dress inside. I pick it up and hold it up in front of my body. It goes to my knees and is just perfect. I lay it down on the bed and put the shoes next to it, before taking a picture for memories. It's already 3:34 when I look at the clock and I have only two and a half hour left before Niall's going to pick me up. I need to focus.

I rush to the bathroom and get into the shower. I let the hot water run over my body for a couple of minutes before I start with washing my hair and then my body and shaving. Only when I'm so clean that you could eat of my bare skin, I get out and put my hair into a towel. I rub my body dry and brush my teeth two times before looking at the clock again. An hour has passed and I've only just showered. I let my hair down and dry it before making curling my hair to light, wavy curls. Afterwards, I get out of the bathroom again and get dressed. The dress fits perfectly and looks like it has been made just for me. I quickly do my makeup, nothing over the top, just simple. Then, I look at the clock again and see that Niall must arrive soon. "How did time passed to quickly?" I ask myself out loud and slip into the shoes. They fit perfectly, just like the dress. I go into the walk-in-closet and find my little bag that I always use when I go out. Niall had even though of that when he packed my things for me, I think with a huge smile. I go back to the bedroom and put my phone into the bag.

The doorbell rings and my heart skips a beat. I quickly spray some perfume on my myself and then rush to the door. I open it up and see Niall in a black suit standing in front of me. He has one red rose in his hand and smirk from ear to ear. "You look majestic." He says, making me blush.

"And you look perfect, as always." I smile and put my hands around his neck. Niall puts his empty hand on my waist and attaches his lips to mine. We kiss and my heart starts racing. I'm so excited.

We pull apart and he gives me the rose. "One of many." He says and takes a step to the side to take his crutches. He hobbles to the car and hold the door open for me. I get inside and close it myself as he hobbles to the driver side. He gets in and we buckle up. Niall drives off and I have no idea where we're heading.

Minutes later we arrive in front of my student accommodation. He's not going to leave me here, is he? I ask myself but shake that thought out of my head right away. Niall would never do that. I look at him confused but at the same time excited. "Ready?" He asks and I nod just. "Great." Niall smiles and gets out of the car. He hobbles over to my side and opens the door for me. He takes my hand and helps me get out before closing the door and hobbling towards the entrance doors. I follow him and open the doors for us. We get into the building and into the elevator, where we had our first conversation in. Instead of pressing the button to my floor, like I thought he would, Niall presses the one to the roof of the building. My heart already starts racing. I follow Niall out of the elevator again and wait patiently as he unlocks the doors.

"Close your eyes." He says but I shake my head.

"I'm going to trip." I say, knowing that I will because Niall can't take my hand and lead me.

"I'm going to catch you if you fall, promise." Niall says with a smirk. I give in and close my eyes. "Okay, take one step forward." He says and I take a tiny step in his direction. "Great and two bigger ones." Niall chuckles. I can't help it but laugh as well. I take two bigger steps. "And another one." He says and I do. "Almost here." Even without looking at me, I know that he has the biggest grin on his face. I take a step and just like I thought I would, I trip over my own feet. But just like he promised, Niall catches me before I fall and wraps one arm around my waist as he holds onto one crutch with the other. His second crutch falls, but I don't. I open my eyes again and look up at him. He smiles.

"I told you that I would trip." I say and stand up straight.

"And I told you that I would catch you." He replies, making me laugh. Niall takes a step to the side and I gasp, seeing what he had done for us. A table is in front of me, beautifully and elegantly decorated with white rose petals and candles. Two chaisr, one for him, one for me and a bar trolley, that has two meals under two steal covers, which are mostly seen in fancy restaurants. It also has champagne and two glasses for us. But only when I take a step back, and see that we're surrounded by little tea lights and rose petals, the tears start to stream down my face.

"Tears of happiness?" Niall asks and puts his arm around me. I nod and cover my mouth with my hands. How did I become so lucky?, I ask myself in my head and wrap my arms around Niall.

"I love you so much." I mumble against his chest and close my eyes, hugging him tightly.

"I love you so much too." Niall says and kisses my head. I look up at him and his beautiful blue eyes as my tears finally stop rolling.

"Honestly though, I-I love you so so much and not just for surprises like that but also the little things. You know, like the pancakes or just the random kisses or random texts. I-I love everything about you, literally everything... I think you're perfect." I say, making him chuckle.

"I'm not perfect." Niall replies but I shake my head no.

"You are. You are perfect for me." I smile and get on my tiptoes to attach my lips to his. Niall kisses me back passionately and cups my cheeks with his hand, letting his other crutch fall onto the floor.

We stay like this, kissing, not thinking and not talking, until Niall needs to sit down. He can stand, but not for long. We pull apart and he sits down as I take his crutches and put them against the bar trolley. I uncover the food and see that he made out favourite.

"I should be the one doing all this." He says as I pour us glasses of champagne. It's alcohol free.

"All you should be doing right now is rest a little, before I want those lips back on mine." I smile and place his plate and glass in front of him, before doing the same for myself. Niall and I start to eat and talk. I want to talk to him about the dreams that I had, but I don't. It's on top of my lips, ready to be told, but I don't. Something in me holds me back from telling Niall about my dream.

"Olivia?" Niall asks, pulling me out of my thoughts about the dream.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something else. I'm a bad girlfriend, aren't I?" I ask and he shakes his head chuckling.

"You're the best and my last." He says and takes my hand. Niall kisses it, making me laugh.
