A/N: Excuse typos, please vote + comment would really appreciate your thoughts!

I nod bringing the side of my lip behind the bottom lip. I stand from my position to pack some of the un-eaten food back into the picnic basket. By the time we have both put things away in the car, it's already getting dare.

" Here take the picnic blanket " Niall says tossing out things from the car we can use to keep ourselves warm.

We both then head back to the tree and lay down against the trunk. My head rests on hisrising and falling chest as we watch the sun slwly sink into the horizon leaving us in darkness. His hand traces through the crinckles in my back sending vibes like electricty through the surface of my skin.

My eyes are already becoming heavy as his breathing decreases into slow deep breathes.

" Kate? "

" Mhm " I say with my eyes drooping.

" I love you " The words roll off his toungue in the beautiful irish accent he owns.

" I love you Ni " I say placing my hand onto his chest. He brings his lips to my ear and quietly sings the words of Chasing Cars almost as if it was a whisper.

" If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me, just forget the world " the words dance softly into my ear.

His voice is angelic and I would give a life time to hear it everyday. It's beautiful the way his lips move around the words leaving his mouth and when his eyes squint together when reaching a high note.

His voice sends my mind into a transe and I find myself drifting to sleep in a matter of minutes.

My thoughts are powered by his voice replaying in my head. I'd only ever heard his voice through a microphone, on stage, singing to another thousand screaming girls. I'd never heard it so soft and gentle.

I wake up with my neck sore from letting it rest on the car door. Wait, car door? I open my eyes to find Niall at the drivers seat, eyes focused on the road and myself buckled into the passanger seat.

" How did I get here? I thought we where sleeping in the medow? " I ask still a bit confused on how I had come to wake up in the car.

" I got a call from the boys, we've been invited to appear and preform on 'The Alan Car Show' today, so I didn't wan't to wake you so I carried you in the car "

" Oh " I say suprised,

" You ok? You don't have to come if you don't want to "

" No it's fine, are we stopping off at the apartment? "

" Yea, we can grab some fresh clothes and take a quick shower, we're meeting the boy's and paul there at 11am. "

I nod and rest my back against the car seat again.

When we pulled into the back of the hotel parcking lot, a different man from our greeter came and drove the car back to rentals.

We both have showers, have a quick breakfast and chang into a fesh pair of clothes. Niall comes out wearing a dark blue plaid blazer, gray trousers and a plainblack t-shirt under neath. He looks very handsom as he whipps out the hair gel spicking his hair into a quiff.

I had chosen a grey cropped mid-drif t-shirt with the No5 Channel logo and the words 'Los Angeles' on the rim, my black zipped jacket over on top and my high waisted shorts. Casual but good for backstage at a TV show.

When we walked out to the front of the lobby, a car had been ordered to take us to the show. We arrived 20 minutes later passing mobs of screaming girls with posters, t-shirts and merchandise all along the barriers of the TV show's entrance.
