Chapter 17

"You look beautiful."

"It's not too much, is it? I wasn't sure where we were going so i-."

He cut me off by placing his lips on mine. I was blushing when he pulled away and he chuckled, taking his hand in mine. I was surprised when he walked in the opposite direction of the car. I stopped walking and he immediately stopped as well, noticing my lack in movement.

"What's wrong?"

"Where are we going? Are we not taking your car?"

He immediately got nervous and I couldn't help but smile.

"I was thinking of just walking since it's not far. Unless, you want to drive then we can do that instead, I just thought-."

This time I cut him off with my lips. I pulled away and rested my forehead on his, winking before tugging him arm in the direction he was walking in before he stopped. He got what I was trying to say and smiled, catching up to me. We walked for a while and I looked up at Niall.

"We almost there?"

"Shit, you're cold or something, aren't you?"

He kept rambling on and running his fingers through his hair. I stopped walking and stepped in front of him, accidently letting a giggle slip out of my mouth.

"You need to stop worrying pop star. It was just a question."

He nodded and pecked my nose before wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I leaned into his side and a smile found its way on my face.

"Yeah, we're almost there."

I nodded and before I knew it, we were standing in front of a giant structure of some sort.

"Where are we?"

"The London Eye."

My eyebrows furrowed together and I looked over at him. He simply laughed at my expression.

"Wow, you're the worst tourist I have ever met."

"Why's that?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the fact you have never heard of the London Eye."

I shrugged and grabbed Niall's hand.

"What is it?"

"A Ferris wheel."

"A Ferris wheel?"

He nodded and pulled on my hand.

"Oh no, I'm not going on that."

"And why the hell not?"

"I'm terrified of heights, Ni."

He spun me around and caught me, holding me around the waist.

"I'll keep you safe."

I swear to god I melted right there. I stayed wrapped in his arms until we got to the cart thingy. We climbed in and I looked at Niall with wide eyes. He simply kissed my forehead and pulled me close to him. I took deep breaths and after a bit I was completely fine. I walked over to the edge and smiled looking at the view.

"It's beautiful."

We got up to one of the higher spots, almost at the top and Niall leaned in kissing me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he smiled, resting his forehead on mine.

"Tessa..."

I looked at him waiting for him to continue. He took a deep breath and let it out before looking right into my eyes.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

I didn't say anything; I just leaned in and kissed him. He smiled into the kiss and I pulled away, resting our foreheads together once again.

"Is that a yes?"

I shook my head and sadness filled his eyes. I laughed and pulled him into another kiss. He didn't kiss back for a bit but finally gave in. I broke away and smiled at his confused expression.

"It's a hell yes."

He rolled his eyes and pouted walking to the other side of the cart, looking over the edge. I giggled and followed behind him, turning him to face me.

"Babe, it was just a joke..."

I pouted and he looked over at me smirking.

"Babe? I like that."

I smacked his arm and he laughed.

"You're going to have to hit me a lot harder if you want it to hurt."

I shook my head and leaned in to kiss him.

"But I don't want to hurt you."

He wrapped his arms around me and smiled.

"You're finally mine."

"And I'm finally yours."
