10-Fireworks Part One

Fireworks Part 1-Chapter 10

"Ooh, there's gonna be fireworks in five minutes! We should go watch." TJ suggested, still holding Niall's hand.

Every time Niall glanced down at their entwined hands, he couldn't help but to smile in genuine happiness. And although he thought TJ didn't notice, she did. For the first time, TJ was finally letting her guard down, finally allowing herself to fall for someone, finally giving her heart to another.

Let's go find a good spot to watch." Jessica offered. Everyone agreed and finally settled on the open pasture just past the Ferris wheel. People were littered across the field, mostly couples, and a few children. Niall and TJ sat down a little bit away from Harry and Jessica.

"Well, I guess they want some alone time." Jessica huffed.

"They're cute," Harry smiled at the two. "I think Niall had finally found his princess."

Jessica looked at him, confused. "Princess? Say what now?"

Harry chuckled. "Well Niall's been waiting so long for The One, the girl for him, and a few of our mates actually began to call his future girl, 'His Princess,' because that's exactly how Niall would treat her."

Jessica's hands flew to her mouth. "Oh wow, that's so adorable! How cute is that, oh my goodness, I couldn't have asked for a better guy to be TJ's first boyfriend."

"And I couldn't have asked for a better girl for Niall." Harry replied, smiling.

"Niall, stop!" TJ giggled, batting Niall's hands away.

"I think you're more ticklish than me!" Niall laughed, wrapping his arms around TJ and wrestling her down to the soft grass.

"Am not!" She countered, twisting in his arms. She managed to be face to face with Niall, just mere inches apart. Lying on her back, Niall's forearm resting just beside her head, their legs tangled.

"Well, what are you waiting for. Tickle me." Niall said, his voice deepening, becoming raspy. Eyes slowly traveling from her sparkling eyes, to her full lips, he unconsciously bit his bottom lip. Her fingersHer breathing increased. Her pupils dilated. "How about I do something better." TJ whispered, staring into Niall's ocean blue eyes.

Just as Niall was lowering himself closer, bringing his lips down to meet TJ's, a piece of popcorn sailed in between their two bodies and landed in TJ's shirt.

"What the hell?" TJ said, incredulously.

"Who was that?" Niall asked, bewildered.

"What was that?" TJ mumbled, peering into her shirt.

"I can help you with that." Niall said, a cheeky grin on his face.

"Or nah." TJ retorted, rolling her eyes. She finally managed to grab the piece of popcorn and pulled it out of her bra triumphantly.

"Popcorn?" Niall wondered aloud. "What da hell?"

Suddenly, muffled laughter could be heard just behind the two. Niall and TJ looked around, looking for the source, when their eyes landed on Jessica and Harry.

"I told her not to do it, but she wouldn't listen!" Harry exclaimed, trying to hide his grin.

"I would never!" Jessica said, eyes wide in innocence.

"Oh yeah? Then why's there a bag of popcorn right beside you?" TJ asked, pointing at the discarded bag.

"Oops. Guilty." Jessica smiled sweetly.

"You're the definition of a cock blocker, ya know that?" TJ accused, staring daggers at Jessica.

"You love me." Jessica grinned.
