Stay (Niall Horan)

Chapter 7

I stood there frozen and Niall's blue eyes locked with mine. My lips parted to speak but no words came out. I thought about it for a moment too long. Niall turned around and rubbed the back of his neck.

"I know I asked too soon." He said while backing away. I stood there in shock, looking like a fool.

"Wait Niall." My voice finally let out a sound. He turned around with a sad expression on his face. I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend. Only if you will be my boyfriend." I held onto the blonde boy tightly.

Finally we broke the embrace and he kissed my nose.

"How about we go ice skating?" Niall asked as he was holding my hands.

"Where is there a skating rink?"

"I think there is one about an hour away." He said while grabbing an umbrella from the closet.

"It's supposed to rain later."

We walked out of his house and got into his black vehicle.

"Since it's a long ride, do you want to stop and get McDonalds." I laughed and nodded my head.

About five minutes passed of just listening to music before we pulled into the drive-thru.

"I'll have a 20 piece McNugget and Sam will have a-". He looked over at me waiting for an answer.

"Can I have the chicken wrap?" I yelled, leaning over Niall.

"Sure. Your total comes to $10.76." The man had a creepy, low voice.

We drove up to the first window and handed the man his credit card.

"Drive up to the second window." Tom was his name. His name tag was dirty and worn out. When we rolled up at the second window, the woman working there was turned around gathering our food. She turned around and a horrified look grew on her face. I was really confused when her expression turned full of anger and jealousy.

"Horan." She scoffed and pretty much threw the food at us.

"Not now Stacy." Niall didn't even look at her in the eye.

"So Niall, how have you been." Stacy said while twirling her hair. It was obvious she was trying to flirt with him. The worst part is that the woman knew I was there and was doing it to make me angry.

"Give me our drinks right now." Niall said one last time.

"Fine. There's no reason to be difficult." The blonde girl winked and gave me a really dirty look.

Finally she returned with the pepsis.

"Here you go babe." I just kept my head down trying to ignore her. When I was young, I was never the type of person to stand up for myself.

Niall speed off and onto the road.

"Sammi just ignore her."

"Who was that?" I asked.

"No one. Don't worry about it."

Before I could argue, a clap of thunder caused me to scream a little. Rain poured down on the roof of the and Niall decided to pull over.

"What are you doing?" The car began to stop on the side of a main highway.

"I can't really see the road and my food is getting cold."

"How much longer until we get there?" My chicken wrap was almost gone.

"About 40 minutes." Niall listened carefully to the cars passing and the rain falling.

The rain slowed down a little and we pulled back onto the road. I examined Niall for a moment. He was wearing jeans, a Beatles shirt, and his hair was in a quiff.

"I see you checking me out Sam." I quickly looked away and looked out the window. Pink flooded onto my cheeks.

"What are you talking about?" I managed to say without giggling.

"We are here!" Niall cheered before opening my car door. He grabbed my hand and covered us with the blue umbrella. We walked inside and Niall payed for each ticket.

"Lets go get our skates."

After about 10 minutes of waiting in line, the kid handed us our equipment and Niall and I put the blades on.

"Can you help me tie these?" I asked Niall. He finished with his and came and crouched down in front of me. My foot was lifted and he ties my skates really tight.

"Okay Sam, you ready?" I smiled and wrapped my hands around Niall's muscular arm.

"You look lovely." He said. I didn't know jeans and an old sweatshirt were attractive. Whatever floats his boat.

We skated around the hockey arena for 2 hours then they played a slow song. Niall reached over and grabbed my hand. I didn't recognise the song we swayed to it anyways. Towards the end of the tune, we stopped in the centre of the ice and our faces moved close together.

"Thanks for coming tonight. I had a lot of fun." Niall said while pushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

I placed my hand behind his ear and kissed him softly on the lips. A bunch of little girls screamed 'ew!' so Niall and I stopped and laughed.

"Let me take you home." He lead me out of the building and back into the car. The ride back would take a while so I rested my head against the window and went to sleep.
