“Hello there lover, to what do I owe the pleasure?” Niall’s voice was extra chipper when answering your phone call. The stares and whispers around the office all in credit to your (normally spacious) desktop being dwarfed by edible arrangements, extravagant floral displays, foil balloons, teddy bears, and small white note cards all with a single culprit’s signature printed at the bottom; each new thing pointed out by one of your colleagues makes the growing heat behind your cheeks that much hotter.
It’s safe to say your husband’s tone isn’t due to his morning cup of tea.
“Niall, what the hell?” You demand in a hiss.
“Woah, woah! What’s with the use of my government name? Where’s this sudden aggression coming from?” He’s playing coy, but all you can hear through the phone is how big his smile is growing.
“I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” Did he want to play coy? You could play the part just as well. He’s quiet and it's obvious that you’ve cornered him in his own trap.
“Just tell me, do you like the roses or lilies better? Because I was fightin’ day and night with myself on what to surprise you with.” His accent grows thicker in his question, and it leaves you frozen with the exception of a few hard blinks.
“So instead of choosing one flower, you decided to open a whole gift shop on my desk at work?” You pluck one of the plush toys teetering on the corner and cringe at the high voice that emanates from it. “I love you bear-y much!”
“You’ve gotta be kidding me.” You sigh with a shake of your head. At this point, you were finding it hard to keep your smile at bay. Each new detail you noticed encouraged the knots in your stomach to tighten and your love for the man on the phone to grow fonder.
“Who’re you telling? I didn’t know that thing talked!” Niall is now astonished by how he’d outdone himself.
“Just promise me this is all I’ll be getting today. I don’t think I can handle any more attention.” You plead.
“Well…” he starts.
“Niall…” your tone is on the fence of a warning, cueing his cheeky laugh to finally break free from his throat.
“I promise, I promise. No more surprises.” The reassurance he offers you is short-lived, though. Because the next thing you know…
“Is there a Y/N Y/L/N here?” A group of smiling patrons enters the building and is directed to you. As they march closer to where you are sitting, you can faintly make out the lettering on their shirts to be the uniform of a singing telegram service.
“Niall…” There is no room for mercy in your voice now. Your husband clears his throat.
“I should let you go, it sounds important. See you later, lover!” The phone call ends with a click and your mouth is agape as the choir proceeds into an extravagant rock ballad you would be scolding Niall for seeking out later.

You were sitting on your brother's couch waiting for him to get home, his friend and teammate Jamie was just in the kitchen. Since you were over at your brother's house lots you got to know Jamie quite well. Jamie walked into the living room with two glasses of water handing one to you.
You smiled at the boy as he passed you the water. Jamie sat down in the arm chair that was across from the coach.
Jamie was the first to speak “So how’s school going?” he asked
“It's going ok, i'm doing well in all my classes but i've been struggling in math I've asked Z but he’s no help” You both laughed
“Yea I dont think Z’s to good at math” Jamie laughed as he took a snip of his water
Everytime it was just you and Jamie at the house it always ended up with you talking for hours without end, you both have become quite close but neither of you have told Trevor.
You noticed Jamie took a deep breath before he spoke again.
“I-” He coughed and cleared his throat. You smiled at his nervousness “I was wondering if you were doing anything after your classes tomorrow”
You felt your stomach jump in hope he was going to ask you what you've been wanting you to hear for months now.
“My last class ends at 4:30, so I'm free after then, why?” you asked
You also noticed the way Jamie’s knee started to shake.
“I ummm I would just love to take you out on a date” He stated “I mean if you want” he tried to play off
A big smile spread across your face at your words, you’ve been wanting to hear those words come out of Jamie's mouth for so long. You would have asked him first but you didn't want to feel like that silly little sister.
“I would love that” you smiled looking him in the eye’s
“Really?” He smiled slightly shocked
“Yes really Jamie I'd love to go out with you” You Reassured
