This City [n.h]

Isobel's P.O.V.
It's been fifteen minutes since we left Monarch and Niall has led me to walking around with him aimlessly in many directions.

"Where are we going?" I have finally asked him, tired of wandering around.

"Trust me."

Trust him? I met him literally two hours ago! Two fucking hours ago! Maybe this is where I'll get murdered. I can already sense it and tomorrow I'll make the headlines for fuck's sake!

"If you are going to murder me, then let's speed this process up and go to some alleyway!" I said.

He stopped walking and looked at me with an amused face. "You think I'm going to murder you? Are you insane?"

"How am I the insane one? I know what your plan is!" I exclaimed.

He crossed his arms over his chest and raised his eyebrows. "You didn't have to follow me. As I remember, I asked you if you're in or out."

"Correction, you asked if 'I'm in or what?'" I sassed him. Yes, I was going to be a smartass because technically he tried to be a smartass with me first.

The nerve of this man. We just met and he is an ass. Why did I follow him?!

I saw that he had continued walking ahead, so I went after him. "Where are we going?" I asked for the second time.

"Don't worry, we're almost there." He says, continuing to walk fast. My poor legs trying to keep up with him, definitely going to be sore tomorrow.

Suddenly, Niall stops right in front me causing me to run straight into his back. I let out an "oof" sound and land straight backwards on my butt.

Great, my butt now stings like a motherfu-

"Eh clumsy one, aren't you?" He says, holding his hand out to me.

"EXCUSE ME? You suddenly stopped walking right in front with no damn warning!" I say and got myself up. How dare he just call me clumsy when he was the one to just suddenly stop walking in front of me! Men, I tell you.

"Hey, hey I'm joking. I'm sorry I truly didn't mean to make you fall. Are you okay? You didn't break anything, right?" He softly says, inspecting me with worried eyes.

Letting out a sigh, "I'm fine. My butt might be bruised, but I'm fine."

I sort of wished he caught me before I hit the ground, so I wouldn't have a bruised butt. Well, that and I could have been really close to a very handsome guy. Oh well I guess.

I looked around and realized where we are.

Mission Dolores Park. I actually haven't been to this particular park yet, but I have been to a few other parks already.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked.

He doesn't say anything and he grabs my hand pulling me towards the park more until we are standing on top of a hill.

"Have you ever been to a park at night?" He asks, looking out at the park and city lights.

"Nope, but it doesn't seem any different than going during the day. It's just night time." I say, looking at him.

He turns to me and smiles.

Holy shit. I swear my heart stopped beating. That smile of his is probably brighter than the sun and just as beautiful as the moon.

Ay, Iz, snap out of it. You just met the dude!

Right, right.

"Iz?" Niall asks waving his hand in front of my face.
