Niall called me when he was outside and I walked outside to see him leaning on his car grinning from ear to ear.

"Hello, beautiful." he said smiling. "You look gorgeous."

I blushed and kissed him on the cheek. "You look alright, I guess." I said teasing.

He pouted and looked down at his clothes. "I get all dressed up for you and all I get is an "alright"."

I smiled and kissed him on the cheek again. "I'm sorry. You look handsome."

He smiled and hugged me tightly. "Come on. Let's go. I have a big surprise for you.".

I raised my eyebrows at him. "A surprise?" I said. "I can't wait!" He smiled and opened the car door for me. I got in gracefully and buckled up. He closed my door and walked to the driver's side. He got in, buckled up, and started the car. He smiled over at me and drove off.

We were driving for about an hour and I was getting restless. "Why is it so far?" I asked whining.

"We're almost there." he said. "Stop whining."

I crossed my arms and leaned back in my seat. "Might as well take a nap."

I heard Niall laughing and I opened one eye. "Shh. I'm trying to sleep."

He laughed more and started snorting. Most people who snort sound gross but Niall sounded adorable. I opened my eyes and smiled. I looked over at Niall who was trying to compose himself. His cheeks were red hot. Probably because he snorted. He was embarrassed about it.

When we started to slow down, I looked outside the window. We were at a pier. I wonder why. "Are you taking me fishing?" I asked.

He looked at me and shook his head. "No, we're just getting on the boat. No fishing."

"Good, because I hate fishing." I asked cringing at the thought of the time my dad took me fishing.

Niall parked and we both got out of the car. Niall took my hand as we walked the dock to a boat lit up with lights. A man was sitting in front of it reading a book.

"Nick!" Niall said getting the mans attention. The man looked up at us and smiled.

"Niall! You're finally here." He got up and hugged Niall. He pulled away and said, "So, this is the girl?" He asked.

Niall smiled at me and nodded. "This is Bethany." he said.

I waved and smiled. "You can just call me Beth."

He smiled and hugged me. My eyes widened. "Nice to meet you, Beth." He gave me a little squeeze.

"Okay, Nick, get off my girl." Niall said crossing his arms.

Nick pulled away. "I'm sorry. I'm a hugger."

"So whose boat is this." I asked.

"My grandpa's." Niall said. "Sailed it back in the 60s"

"Wow. That's awesome." I said. "It doesn't look that old."

"Well, Nick here has been working on it for years. It's new and improved." Niall said.

"Her name's Keeva." Nick said. "Ain't she a beaut?" he asked.

"I guess. I'm not really into boats." I said.

"Well, let's get on. I have dinner on the boat. And dessert." he said winking.

He climbed the steps and helped me get on the boat. It was a little wobbly. "Careful." Niall said.

Nick got on and untied it from the dock. "We're not going that far." he said.

I nodded and looked around the ship. On the other end was a round table with a candle and a rose on it. Niall led me over to it and handed me the rose. "For the beautiful lady." he said. I blushed.

"Niall, this is so sweet." I said smiling. The boat started to move and I sat down.

"I hope you like Alfredo because that's the only thing I could make with the time given." he said.

"I love Alfredo." I said smiling.

"Great. I'll go get the food." He grinned and walked over to the stairs leading under the boat. I looked over the the ocean and smiled. The sun was setting and everything was an orange color. It was beautiful.

Niall came back with the food and turned on some music. I was surprised when he put on Ed Sheeran instead of his own music.

He sat down and sighed. "Now we eat." he said digging into his food. I laughed and started eating slowly.

Nick came over with a bottle of champagne. "For the lovely couple." he said and walked away.

I smiled and looked at Niall. "I'll open it."'he said taking the bottle. He popped the cork off and the foam came out. He poured it into two glasses. I took one glass and started drinking it.

"I've never had champagne before." I confessed.

"Me, either." he said taking a sip. It tasted sweet and bitter at the same time.

"I like it." I said. Niall nodded.

His phone rang and looked at me. "I'm sorry. It's the boys." he said answering.

He got up and walked away.

Niall POV

I got up from my seat and answered the call. "Hello." I asked.

"Hey, Nialler. Where are you?" I heard Harry say.

"I'm out.." I said. I hated lying to them about Bethany but I wasn't ready yet.

"Out where? On a boat, perhaps?" he asked.

"What? How'd you know that?" I asked.

"A little birdy told me." he said. "So who's this girl you've been keeping from us?"

"Her name's Bethany." I said. "I have to go, Harry. We'll talk later."

"No need. We're on the boat." Harry said.
