~ Niall's P.O.V. ~
The lads were helping me out with this date. They knew how important it was to me.
Tonight had to be extra special. So, I rented a limo. When I was on my way to pick up Allie, I stared into the black screen of my phone. I still had Juli's number in it. I couldn't bring myself to delete it.
"Mr. Horan, we're here."
I opened the back of the limo and walked up to Allie's door. I knocked three times, waiting eagerly for her to open it.
"Hey you." She said as she opened the door. Her blonde hair was curled and cascaded down her back. She was wearing a tight, dark navy dress that complimented her curves nicely
"Hey. You ready?" I asked.
She nodded. I grabbed her hand and led her down to the car. I opened the door for her and she smiled at me.
"You look great." I blurted out and immediatley blushed.
"Thanks. You look good too." I blushed at her comment.
"Do you want me to put on some music?" I asked. Sitting in the silence with Allie was pretty awkward.
"Sure." She had her hands in her lap. I could tell she felt awkward too.
I leaned forward and punched in my favorite station. Of course, one of our songs were playing. It was "More than this."
"Oh, look, this is you!" Allie said, pointing to the radio.
"Yepp." Allie continues babbling on about something, but I wasn't listening. I was getting lost in the lyrics of the song. If only Juli realized how much I cared about her.
The limo came to a stop. "I guess we're here." I said, looking at her. "Let's get out."
We slid out of the limo and Allie intertwined our hands together, and I let her. "Where are we going?" She asked, looking me in the eyes, drilling me with her green ones.
"Just taking you somewhere." As if on cue, Liam popped out from behind a tree.
"Well hello. Tonight I will be your waiter. Follow me to your seat." He turned and started marching to the table. I couldn't help but laugh.
For our date, I set up strings of lights from tree to tree, swaying in the wind. There were little candles on the table, which was on a dock next to the lake.
"Niall... Did you do this?" Allie smiled.
"Yeah, only for you." I kissed her cheek. We walked to the table and I pulled out a chair for her. "Here, sit."
"Well thank you Niall. What a lovely gentleman." She said, clapping her hands quietly.
"The menus are in front of you." Liam said, "You're choices include pizza or tacos."
I chuckled. I told the lads they were in charge of the food. I didn't think they would make those selections.
"I'll have the tacos." Allie said.
"I'll have the same." I smiled across the table.
"I will go tell chef Harry." Liam stated. He was being so cheesy. He turned and ran away dramatically.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize that the boys would choose that food when I asked them for help."
"Don't worry about it. I'm having a great time with you." She grabbed my hand from across the table.
"Can I, um, ask you something?" I stuttered.
A smile grew on her face. "Of course, anything."
"I know we haven't known eachother that long but I would really like to get to know you better and I guess all I'm trying to say is," I paused briefly, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Niall. Yes! I would love to!" She leaned across the table and kissed me. It wasn't long, maybe 10 seconds.
When we pulled away, I smiled. But I also realized something.
There were no fireworks. Not even a spark. Not like when I was with Juli.
~ Juli's P.O.V. ~
El and I were sitting on the couch in her- our flat watching television when all of a sudden I felt sick.
I got up and ran to the bathroom.
"Juli, are you okay?" El asked as she pulled my long brownhair out of my face.
"Yeah." I choked. "It's winter, I think I just have the flu or something."
"Are you sure?" Eleanor asked. This was one of the only times I've seen her without a smile.
"Yes, I'm positive. I'm fine, really.' I reassured her.
She walked me back out to the living room, her arm around my shoulder. "Hey, tomorrow night, my boyfriend is playing this concert a little outside London. We get to go backstage!"
She sounded so excited. I couldn't say no to her. "That sounds like fun! You never told me you had a boyfriend! Let alone that he is in a band!" I gasped.
"But you don't have to go, if you're not feeling up to it." She told me, shaking her head reminded me that I was not bring forced into it.
"No, really El, I think it would be a lot of fun. I need to get out, make friends! I've been cooped up in here ever since the whole Carter thing." I playfully punched her in the arm.
"Alright, so it's a date?" She said, putting her amazing smile back on her face.
I looked up from the floor and smiled. "It's a date."
