Chapter 8
(Jess' P.O.V)
"We're here." Niall said turning of the engine.
After Amy ran after Justin, who was meant to drive us home, Niall suggested we get food. I didn't particularly like the idea of running in my heels to Justin and Fredo's tour bus so Niall stayed with me.
"I wonder if Justin and Amy found Alfredo." I say as I get out the door Niall is holding open for me. Such a gentleman. "Thank you."
"Your welcome." He smiles down at me. I smile back. "I don't know hopefully they have." He replies.
"Do you know what was wrong with Alfredo?" Niall places his hand on the small on my back and guides me to McDonalds.
"I actually don't but I think it has something to do with Amy though."
"Amy? Why is Amy involved in this?" I asked curious. What hasn't Amy told me?
"Oh..umm..I meant Justin obviously." He nervously laughed scratching the back of his neck.
"Oh right."
We entered McDonalds.
"Hello what would you like?" The person asked behind the stand.
"Please could I have the Big Mac. Thanks. Jess?" Niall turned to me.
"I'm not hungry thanks." I smile and go to sit at a table while Niall collects his food.
"What's up?" He asks as soon as he sits down opposite me.
"I think I had to much to drink." I groan holding my head. Damn it hurts.
"Aw you only had like a billion cocktails and beers. Not that bad." Niall smirks at me.
"I haven't drunk that much it ages."
"Why? Aren't there like loads of parties at Uni?" Niall asks his mouth full of food.
"Yeah but.."
"You're a good girl eh?" He cheekily grins at me.
"Something like that. Anyway what's wrong with being the good girl?" I inch forward a bit towards him coking an eyebrow.
"Nothing I prefer my girls good." He winks at me and inches closer to.
"Do you now? I thought boys always went for the naughty ones."
"Egh I am different."
"Yeah I can tell." I joke.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He glares at me.
"With hair like that Horan, I'm afraid you my boy, are a girl repleler." I keep joking. He has gorgeous hair.
"You missy asked for it." He shoved the last bit of his burger in his mouth then picked up his chips. Suddenly chips were flying though the air and hitting me. He didn't!
"Oh I did." He smirks at me. Oh I said that out loud.
"Arghh. Stop it!!"
"Nahh this is fun" He kept chucking then and laughing at my pain.
Now I am going to smell of potato and salt. Yaay! Not.
"Seriously Niall." I laugh then run out to the girls toilet. Ha he can't get me in here.
I look at myself in the mirror. Gawd I look awful: Hair sprawled out everywhere like I have just woken up. I attempt to fix it when I hear the door open.
"Ha got ya." Niall comes up behind me and puts he arms around my waist.
"Why are you in here? Of limits to you mister." I shuffle out of his arms and turn around. "No sorry you are welcome here as this is the girls toilets. You are a girl so.." I grin up at him.
"I know I am quite a pretty girl aren't I." He chuckles. I see him pouting his lips in front of the mirror pretending to be a girl taking a photo.
"That is hilarious." I laugh.
"I know girlfriend." He does a high squeaky voice which hurts my ears.
I laugh hysterically at his imitation of a girl. This is one funny boy. I have an amazing best friend.
"I think we should go before a women comes in and gets the wrong idea."
"You have such a dirty mind." He playfully pokes me in the ribs which makes me laugh as I am very ticklish. He knows that. "The women will just understand that a loved up couple are just having a little fun." He winks at me.
"Oi!" I hit him on the arm jokily. "And you say I have a dirty mind. Plus we are not a couple."
His smile is suddenly wiped away. What did I say?
"Niall did I say something wrong." I asked concerned.
He quickly puts on a smile as if he had just got a great idea. "No all fine. Let's go somewhere else."
"Okay." He offers me his arm which I gladly lock my arm around.
"So where are we going." I ask hoping into the car. Niall opened the door for me again.
"You just have to wait and see."
~~~~~~~~~
"Are we there yet?" Niall has his hands over my eyes. I have attempted to lick his hands so they aren't covering my eyes but my tongue is not long enough.
"Just a few more steps." He sounds excited. "We are here."
Niall takes his hands away from my eyes. My eyes adjust to the light and the sight in front of me is clear.
It is the pond Niall, Justin, Alfredo, Amy and I all used to go to after school and where we'd meet up at the weekends.
There is a small pond in the middle of some trees. The tall trees go all the way around the pond acting like a barrier. Connecting the trees are white fairy lights which have been there since the first time we all saw this place. Some of the bulbs have dimmed slightly overtime. The grass has been cut shorter than the last time we were here. Between to trees a bench is placed.
All the memories of our great times here come flooding back.
I stand there my mouth agape. I am so stunned Niall remembered this place and took me here.
"It's just how I remember it." I hug Niall him hugging me back.
"I knew you'd like to visit it. Well I also wanted to visit it as well." Niall took my hand and lead me to the bench.
"This is nice." I stare in awe at the pond. The calm water is reflecting the lights above making the area look lighter contrasting with the midnight black sky.
"What time is it." I ask Niall. He takes out his phone.
"Gone past midnight."
"I think we should get back. Don't want the others worrying."
"Wait before we leave I want to ask you one question." Niall turns around so he is facing opposite me on the bench. I do the same.
"Will you go to Alfredo's party with me." He seems nervous why? He is only asking as a friend.
"Yeah of course." I give him a genuine smile.
"Phew."
"What?"
"Nothing. Shall we go?" He asks standing up and offering me his hand.
I'm sure I heard him say something. Oh well. Yay now I don't have to go to the party on my own.
I suddenly start to shiver. I didn't realise how cold it is and I am wearing a dress that has no sleeves or shoulder pads or anything. I am so cold now.
"Are you cold?" Niall turns to look at me.
"Yeah a bit but it's fine."
"Here have my jacket." He takes the jacket to his suit of and puts in on for me.
"Thanks. Much better now." I smile at him. I think to myself why Niall is still single. He is such a lovely, funny guy. Maybe I will set him up with someone at Fredo's party. Yeah Amy can help.
We head back to the car and the others.
