Irresistible Little Things - A One Direction Love Story

Chapter 9

*Niall's POV*

We arrive at the restaurant after what seems like a very short taxi ride. I pay the taxi driver, being the gentleman I am and grab Mae's hand. Her soft fingers intertwinde with mine and she pecks me on the cheek. We walk inside, grinning at the thought of this being our first date and wait to be seated. The waitress sits us down at a table. The table has candles in the middle and is next to a big floor length window which overlooks the sea. The sea's reflecting the bright lights from along the pier. It's perfect. 

'Wow, this is beautiful, thankyou' Mae says to the waitress with a big grin on her face. 

'Yeah, thankyou so much' I pipe up. I sit Mae down on her seat and take off her coat and hook it to the back of her chair. I run my fingers through her soft hair and lean down to her ear. I feel my breath waft on her skin as I whisper 'you're so beautiful'. Mae giggles and looks into my eyes and kisses me lightly on the lips. She hovers over mine teasingly before turning around beconning me to my seat, I already don't want to leave her side. 

'So, what else have you got planned for tonight then Ni?' She asks, looking at me brightly. To be honest I haven't really thought of that, a walk? Oh god, now I sound like an idiot.

'Well that's a surprise' I wink back. Thoughts are running through my head about us walking along the shore with our shoes off, toes in the water. That would be romantic, so we'll do that.

'Oooo sounds great' She winks back. 'I'll go order some drinks' with that, she gets up and walks to the bar. I can't stop looking at her.

*Mae's POV*

I hadn't even asked Niall what he wanted to drink before I left the table. I presume he wants his favourite, beer. Now he sounds like an alchoholic, he's not of course, just enjoys beer. 

'What can I get you?' The bartender asks me politely.

'Erm, I'll have a carling and a WKD blue please' I smile, waiting for him to get them. He stays infront of me looking at me.

'Can I see some ID please?' He looks at me sternly

Oh shit, I'm not legal in America! I'm 18, but you have to be 21 to drink over here, oh god, this is embarrassing.

'Erm, this is embarrassing, I'm sorry I forgot the laws over here, see I'm 18 and English, so I just presumed, sorry I'll have two cokes please' I awkwardly grin, luckily the bar man smiles and goes to get the drinks, I must be as red as a tomato by now (aka Sophia).

While waiting for the drinks I quickly check my phone and post a tweet saying me and Niall were at the resturant, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I quickly turn round to see a smiley boy, standing before me.

'Hey I'm Beau' He says, an Australian accent present in his voice, god, I love Australian accents.

'Hey I'm Mae' I say awkwardly, I must be even more red now. He grins even more, he seems nice. He's tanned with green/brown eyes, his flooppy brown hair is swept over to the side of his forehead. He has a bit of stubble on his top lip and is wearing a very casual vest and shorts for this kind of restaurant. 

'I'm sorry I couldn't help but notice how gorgeous you're looking and I erm just wondered if I could have your number?' he says shyly. What were me and Niall? A couple? Could I accept a guys number? Would he mind? 

'Erm sure, here, put your number in my phone and I'll text you' I smile, handing him my phone. He types it in quickly and then our drinks arrive. 

'Thankyou, I'll text you' I say to him, with that, he kisses my cheek.

'Bye Mae, hopefully see you soon' He grins.
