The Day I Met Niall Horan on the Plane

Chapter 7

Okay. Niall Horan just asked me to stay with him in LA. No big deal. I could feel myself blushing. 

"I mean, if you want to. I was just suggesting-" he spluttered out looking adorable. 

"Niall stop blubbering!" I interrupted him. 

"Sorry." He smirked, itching the back of his head. 

"I'll think about it?" I told him. He nodded understandingly and I smiled in return. The sun was going down and with it so was the temperature. I shivered involuntarily. 

"You cold? Take my jacket." He immediately started taking it off. 

"Don't be an idiot. Keep it on or you'll freeze." I said to him, shaking my head. 

"I'm used to the cold. You on the other hand look freezing. And I wasn't asking for your permission." Before I could stop him he shrugged out of his jacked and put it around my shoulders. It smelted wonderful, just like him. Okay, stop being creepy, I said to myself. 

"Thanks." I said in defeat. Secretly, I was really flattered. I guess it showed because he beamed even brighter. 

We walked in silence for a while then. There was a very small we were following. Trees, shrubs and rocks filled the area. A small stream followed the trail we were on. The fading sunlight barely passed through the thick leaves of the trees. The air-hostesses guiding us stopped for the millionth time and passed around torches, blankets and small packets of food. I was getting kind of irritated and really tired when I walked up to the air-hostess. 

"How long till we reach the town?" I asked her. She looked up and temporarily stopped passing out things. 

"Miss, we have another two or three hour walk ahead of us." She said with a polite smile. Another thing you all should know about me, I have a bit of an anger problem. 

"Are you insane? We are in the middle of the jungle with barely any supplies besides a few torches and snacks and you insist on stopping every five minutes to pass them out?" I yelled at her. 

"I'm sorry miss but we needed to rest." She said, trying to maintain her calm. 

"No we don't! What we need is to get the bloody town so we all can get the hell out of here!" I yelled even louder and she flinched. The people around us were either completely stunned or scared and some murmured in agreement. 

"Miss, please calm down. We'll get to the town soon. Please go back into the line. Here have a packet of peanuts." She said in a patronizing town. That's when I really lost it. 

"I don't want your fucking peanuts!" I screeched at her. I snatched the packet from her hands and threw it on the ground. That is when Niall interjected. 

"Elle, relax." He came and put a hand on my shoulder. He looked apologetically at the air-hostess who huffed. 

"Sorry, Miss." he tried guiding me to the back of the group before an man who looked to be in his mid-forties spoke up. 

"The girl is right. We need to get to the town as soon as possible. It's getting dark as well." He said. More people looked up and murmured in agreement. I looked at him gratefully and winked at me. 

"Okay, sir. Let's all go. No breaks now." The air-hostess said, giving me the evil eye. I smirked at her. 

We all gathered our things and continued walking. I turned to see Niall looking at me kind of weirdly. I guess I should apologize to him for my outburst. 

"Sorry Niall. I have a bit of an anger problem as you can see. Plus, she was driving me insane." I said looking down apologetically. 

"Why are you apologizing? You were completely right. And you looked really hot doing it." He winked at me and I blushed. We walked together at the front of the group. We spoke about more nonsensical things. The light was finally dying. I looked up worriedly.
