"The One" A Niall Horan Fanfiction

Lunch

Niall's POV

I leave my house after getting ready. I put a big smile on my face even though I'm furious with Louis. I wonder if he can be more of a jackass? I get in my car, put the key in the ignition and start the engine. I'm off to meet Sammie.

I get to Nando's with 10 minutes to spare. I sit down and tell the waiter my date will be here shortly. I wait for five minutes when she walks through the door wearing a black sweater with the word LOVE written in pink, with shorts, a black beanie and black converse. She looks around and sees me, a shocked look sprawled across her face. Probably because I brought her flowers. I smile at her. She looks amazing. She starts walking over when I get up. I go to her side of the table and pull out her chair. "What a gentleman." She says sitting down. I push her chair in then go back to my seat. "You look great!" I compliment her. She blushes and looks away, "thank you." She replies softly. I hand her the bouquet. "These are for you." She reaches her hands out grabbing them gently. "How did you know that oriental lily is my favourite flower?" She asks smelling the bouquet. "I don't. I grabbed the prettiest flowers. But now I know." I say grinning. The waitress comes over to take our order. The whole time I pray that she won't treat Sammie the same way that Starbucks bitch did. She didn't at all though, she's quite polite.

Our food arrives. The waitress sets Sammie's grilled chicken down in front of her then hands me my fillet steak & chargrilled veg pitta. I  watch as she takes her first bite and her face lights up. I start eating. "You should try this!" She exclaims waving a piece of chicken on her fork. "Ok." I say going in to take the bite. I've had the chicken here a thousand times, the taste is basically infused in my mouth. But I take the bite to get the chance to share the utensil. "That is so good. I'm definitely getting that the next time I eat here." I say, convincing enough to make it sound like I've never eaten it before. We keep eating. I watch as she enjoys her food. Every time she looks up I pretend I've been looking somewhere else. I'm looking at a photo when I'm interrupted. "I didn't invite you so you can stare at the wall." Sammie says chuckling. "I'm sorry. I thought you might be uncomfortable if I stared at you while you are." I respond. She giggles, "I'm used to it." I look at her. She must be, she's so beautiful why wouldn't any guy stare at her? "I bet you are." I say. She looks down smiling while pink fills her cheeks.

We continue eating taking our sweet time. "Can I interest you in dessert?" The waitress asks politely. Before a word was able to slip through my mouth Sammie spoke. "Yes! Can we have a white chocolate raspberry swirl cake and toffee apple frozen yogurt." She says excitedly. "I'll be right out with that." The waitress says walking away. "I hope you don't mind. I think it's something you will definitely like. I was thinking we can share...?" She says cowering a bit. "I would love to. I've actually never had either of those desserts." I reassure her. I've genuinely never had them. Sharing any kind of food, with the exception of snacks, usually happens in a three month relationship. But I...I couldn't care less. I'm so glad and thankful to be here with her sharing a dessert.

Sammie's POV

"Here you are, a white chocolate raspberry swirl cake and toffee apple frozen yogurt. Enjoy." The waitress says leaving. I grab two spoons handing one to Niall. "This is going to be delicious! Dig in!" I say excitedly. He takes the first bite and his eyes light up, he quickly takes another bite and another. I realize how fast the frozen yogurt is depleting and I start eating too, before it's gone. He decides to take a bite of the cake then seemingly starts devouring that. I then eat that too. Before we knew it the plates were clear. I want to get more the taste sticks to my tongue. "Here's the bill." The waitress comes back putting the bill on the table. Niall reaches for it trying to be fast about it, but I still beat him to it. I open the little book, $33.26. Well plus tip, I'll just give them $50. "I want to pay." Niall says reaching out his hand. "I know. But I got it. I suggested lunch, I'll pay." I say taking the hand he offered. The feel of my little hand in his big one brought butterflies to my stomach. I begin to feel queasy like being in a new relationship, and I realize I'm still holding his hand, it's been about a minute. I quickly pull my hand back, embarrassed. "Sorry. I zoned out for a second there." I lie. He laughs bringing his face up. "It's ok. I didn't mind at all." He says innocently.
