Not Just a Summer Love Story (a One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 17 - Part Two

Once Niall and I finished lunch we went back to Deo’s house and chilled out for the rest of the afternoon until about 6:30pm when Niall told me to get ready to go out for dinner and to make sure I wear something ‘fancy’ I went and put on a black strapless dress that has a matching black and gold belt that fits around my waist and I put on a pair of black heels, I straightened my hair for a change and then I put on some makeup with winged eye liner. I was ready; I sprayed some of Justin Bieber’s perfume, grabbed my black clutch bag and walked out into the lounge room.

Deo was sitting on the couch with Niall who was wearing a pair of black dress pants and a white button up shirt, Wow he looked so good. “Hey, you read-“Niall stared to say but stopped himself, “Too fancy?” I asked thinking I had over done it and made a fool of myself “No, Not at all” He said and I let out a sigh of relief “You look perfect” He said quietly which made my stomach do somersaults but after he said it he coughed awkwardly and turned his head to the wall, I have a feeling I wasn’t meant to hear it so I didn’t say anything. “Are you guys going to go or are you just going to drool over you girlfriend” Deo said to Niall which brought me out of my daze. “Ahh-Yeah are you ready to go?” Niall asked me, I could tell he was a little embarrassed of Deo’s comment because he didn’t really know what to say, usually Niall would say a smart comment back to him, but Niall had nothing. “Yeah, let me just go grab my phone off charge” I said “Okay, well ill meet you in the car” He said, I agreed and then went to fetch my phone off charge.

I unplugged my phone from the charger cable and then walked back out. “Bye, we will be back soon” I said to Deo as I walked past the lounge room, “Okay bye, have fun love birds” Deo joked, “Shut up” I laughed before I walked out the front door to join Niall in that car. Deo and I had become really close over the past week, it really nice to have a friend like him, and I am pretty sure Niall had invited him to come on tour with them aswel so we will be able to spend more time together, this tour is just getting better and better and it hasn’t even started yet. “Hiya” I said as I climbed into the passenger seat of the car. “G’day” Niall said trying to pull off an Australian accent. “You’re actually getting better at that” I said, impressed by his attempt at the Aussie accent we pulled out of Deo’s drive way, I noticed Niall hadn’t set up the GPS. “Oh god, are you going to get us lost in a foreign city?” I asked half joking half serious, “Nope, I know how to get to this place, I went there last time I was here, but when I was there I decided it was a perfect place for a date, so yeah” Niall said “Oh so we are calling ‘this’ a date now are we?” I said with a giggle “Oh, umm only if you wanted” Niall said shyly and embarrassed, he was trying really hard not to make eye contact with me, I felt bad because I made him embarrassed so I tried to make him feel as comfortable as I could “I would love that” I said back to him and he looked at me with a small grin. 

After a short drive in the car Niall pulled up at ‘Jacques Reymond’ I was speechless, “Niall!” I shrieked, “What?” He said confused “This is the best restaurant in Melbourne! And I have heard it’s really expensive” I said “Yeah, so?” he replied “So? I’m not letting you pay for me!” I said to him “Oh yes you are, this isn’t negotiable, I’m paying for you and you are going to enjoy it” Niall said to me with a smile on his face and I sighed in defeat, “Fucking pap’s” Niall said when he noticed the paparazzi waiting out the front of the restaurant for us. “it’s okay” I said to him as I rubbed his arm to settle him down I noticed him relax a bit with my touch and he gave me a smile. “You ready babe?” he asked me “ready as I’ll ever be” I said to him and we both climbed out of the car with the camera immediately starting to flash and getting questions and demands shouted at us.

“NIALL, OVER HERE!”

“Skylar, you and Niall hey?”

“Can you confirm? Are you a couple?”
