The Princess
and
The Leprechaun
Chapter: 11
When my eyes flickered open, all I saw was white. As my vision adjusted, I realized I was in a hospital room. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my leg stopped me. I glanced down and groaned. My right foot was bandaged up. Great…
As I looked around the room, my eyes finally fell on something that made my heart swell up. Niall was there, sitting in a chair next to my bed. He was bent over, his face hidden in his hands, elbows on his knee. I don’t even think he heard me wake up..
“Niall?” My voice cracked and my throat burned.
His head snapped up. His eyes were rimmed with redness and tears, but he smiled as he saw me awake.
I swallowed before whispering, “What-..“
I didn’t finish because Niall had thrown himself at me, his arms wrapping around my weak form, his hand buried in the crook of my neck.
“I thought I had lost you…” he wept, his fingers tangling in my hair.
Tears formed in my eyes as I gripped him back.
“Really? It’s going to take a heck of a lot more than that to get rid of me.”
He laughed and I found myself absolutely loving the sound.
My foot was severely sprained, but it wasn’t broken. I sighed unhappily when I found out and Niall looked at me, his eyebrows raised.
“I can’t go swimming with you.”
He chuckled softly. “I think it will be a while before I even go back in the water.”
I thought back to my dream, where Niall was the one begin dragged under and I was fighting to save him. Now in reality, it was the other way around.
The other guys stayed with me all during recovery. Niall stayed the longest and was there the earliest though. Whenever the nurses weren’t looking, Niall would climb into bed with me and hold me. He was careful with my injured leg, but he had always handled me with care. I would get miserable just sitting there, but once Niall’s body squeezed in next to mine on the mall cot, the misery all washed away. His warmth, his sexy scent, and his soft voice always made me feel like I was flying, hundreds of feet above the ground. Once in a while, he would fall asleep like that, with his head resting on mine. Not that I cared…not one bit.
