After putting my carry on in the over head compartment, I sit down, happy that I have the window seat.

I watch as people pass by me and sit down in their seats. No one in my row has boarded yet, then a boy with blonde hair enters the plane and sits down next to me.

"Niall" he smiles at me and I notice that he has an accent.

"Madison." I smile back and take the hand that he offered.

"Is this your first time going to Dublin?" He asks me.

"Yea, are you from there?" I ask, recognizing his accent as Irish.

"Yea, me and some lads share a flat together" he says, his eyes never leaving mine. Great. I wish I looked a little better, and I would've if I knew I was going to be sitting next to someone that looked like him. His eyes are a beautiful blue and he has the most amazing smile. His blonde hair is pushed up into messy waves.

"Oh.. Cool." I smile at him, and he returns the gesture but doesn't say anything more. Cool? What's wrong with me? I didn't know how to respond. I can feel my cheeks blush from embarrassment and turn to look out my window.

By the time we take off, I have my headphones in and my head is leaning against the window. I notice that the boy, Niall, keeps looking over at me as I fall asleep.

I wake up after what seems like minutes to shuffling under my head. I open my eyes and it takes me a minute to realize what I'm leaning on. I notice that my head is on Nialls shoulder and i immediately sit up.

"Sorry I didnt mean to wake you." He says with drowsy eyes, he must've just woken up too.

"No your fine.. I didn't mean to...I didn't notice I was sleeping on you." I say. I'm so embarrassed. Even though I'll probably never see this guy again, I just fell asleep on him after just meeting.

"No it's okay I didn't mind" he says winking at me and I let out a small laugh and blush.

"So what are you doing in Dublin?" He asks me after I don't reply.

"Oh I'm studying abroad.. Kind of. I mean I'm by myself, so I guess I'll just be going around exploring the country."

"That sounds fun" he says with a smile. His smile is perfect.

"Yea Just some alone time," I shrug, "what were you doing in America?" I ask.

"Oh, same as your about to do in Ireland, just exploring. I loved it." He answers making eye contact with me. "How long are you going to be in Ireland?"

"3 months. I come back at the beginning of September."

"Well we should hangout while your around... I'd like to get to know you better." He says as a smile spreads across his face. "I mean as long as you want to."

"Oh.. Yea of course I would! It'd be nice to know someone while I'm here." I say laughing and he joins in. His laugh is loud but it's absolutely adorable.

*Passengers, we will be landing in Dublin in about 10 minutes. We hoped you enjoyed your flight, Thank you for flying with us* I hear over the intercom, and I look out my window. I didn't realize I slept nearly the whole flight.
