Niall's P.O.V

Cleo makes a sad puppy dog face, trying to convince me into letting her drive. It's not that she couldn't drive. She could. She just had incredibly bad road rage. If someone cut Cleo off while she was behind the wheel she'd burst out into curse words and honk the horn repeatedly at them. She once received a ticket from the police for 'excessive honking'.

Cleo cups her hands out in front of her waiting for me to drop the car keys in her palms. I let out a sigh and gave them to her.

She squealed and gave me a kiss. Why did I give her the keys. Cleo starts driving and so far she's doing fine. I just get antsy whenever she's in control of my car. We're waiting to turn left at the crossing and a huge truck comes speeding down the road. It's head on towards us and is not stopping, if anything they're speeding up.

"Niall!" Cleo yells my name in shock and looks like she doesn't know what to do. She just sits there, panicking and watches the car come towards us. My body thinks before my mind. Cleo keeps her foot on the brake, keeping the car in a frozen state.

I go over her body and scoot her over and floor it. We go flying into the movie theater parking lot. We probably would've gotten hit by the car if I didn't do anything. Cleo was too in shock to move while the truck was coming towards us and right now.

I slowed down the car bringing us into a parking space. I stay still for a second, slowing my heart rate down. After a minute I get out and go around to Cleo's side. Her facial expression is still blank. She's just staring off into the distance.

"Cleo, it's fine. You're okay. Nothing happened." I attempted. She quickly snaps her head around to me and rambles.

"What do you mean 'nothing happened'?! We almost got hit by a fucking truck! It is not 'fine'!" She adds air quotes around fine.

"Calm down and get out of the car." I'm started to get annoyed by her sudden change of mood. She gets out of the door and slams it, walking away from me.

We get up to buy the tickets. I pay for the two tickets to see a scary film. I get in line with Cleo to buy popcorn. She said she doesn't want any, but she's just pissed off right now. I knew she'd want some during the movie.

Cleo sits in the very top of the theater and I sit next to her. I hand her the bowl of popcorn and she accepts it, trying to hide her smile. The movie starts and I can hear her gasp.

"You know I hate scary movies." She turns to me.

"You know I hate it whenever you slam my car door too." I whisper. She tucks her knees up to her chest in the chair.

The movie continues and I look over to see Cleo with her eyes slightly peaking over her knees at the screen. The music in the film pipes down and you can almost tell something scary is about to show up.

I'm watching the movie waiting for something scary then I feel something cuddle into me. I look over to see Cleo hiding her face behind my left bicep. She has a tight grip on my forearm while looking away at the screen.

I knew she hated scary films, but I wasn't expecting this movie called Insidious to be that scary. I've never seen it before and now I'm wishing I hadn't really bought the tickets to see this movie.

A loud thud roared from the screen and made everyone in the theater scream including Cleo. I felt bad for sending Cleo into this movie with me, knowing she feared horror movies.

I can feel her shaking behind me. She is tightly fisting my shirt and lowering her head behind me. I couldn't even sit all of the way back.

The movie ended and we walked back to the car. Cleo walks ahead of me in the parking lot, as if she were in a rush. We get in and that's whenever she starts really talking or more like yelling to me. Every time I'd try to talk she'd put her finger up to my mouth reminding me to be quiet. I grabbed her finger and pulled her body into mine. She relaxes her frowned face kissing her was the only way to get her to shut up. I don't think she minded me slamming my lips onto hers because I sure as hell didn't mind.

She's trying to pull back some, but I'm not letting her. I don't want her to see mad at me the entire time because knowing Cleo, she can keep a grudge against me for hours, days, and months.
