Forgotten

Chapter 12

Mackenzie's POV

When we arrived, we immediately went to the hotel to change and get to the beach before it got too dark. We only had a couple hours before the sun would go down. We ran to the beach from the beautiful beach front hotel suite Niall got for us to stay in.

We both just laid on the sand until the sun went down and everyone had left the beach. Afterward we went back to the hotel room and got dressed to go to a seafood restaurant for dinner. 

"Thank you for taking me out to dinner." I say with a smile as we leave the restaurant.

"You're welcome babe." He reaches around my shoulder to pull me close to him and then plants a kiss on my forehead. 

When we get back to the hotel I'm exhausted so I immediately change into my pajamas and get ready for bed. When I get under the covers, Niall stands at the door of the bathroom confused.

"You're going to bed already? It's only 9 o'clock..." He says with a disappointed look on his face.

"I'm sorry, I'm really tired. Did you have something planned?" I ask. I thought we would be done for the day, but apparently Niall had different plans.

"No, we can do it later." 

"You're sure? I can change really fast if you want to do something." I say and he shakes his head and starts to get dressed for bed. He takes off his shirt and pants, leaving him in only his black boxers. He flips off the lights and crawl into bed next to me.

He wraps his arms around me and I bury my face into his neck. I smell the slight scent of his cologne left on his skin from when he put it on for dinner. 

I start to question what he might have been planning to do.

Was Niall planning on trying to have sex with me tonight? Was that why he was disappointed when I told him I was tired? I know that he brought me all the way to the beach, got us a nice hotel, and took me out for dinner but I was definitely not ready for that yet. I am interrupted from my thoughts when he speaks.

"You alright?" He asks. 

"What?" I hadn't realized I had tensed up.

"Are you alright? You're really tense."

"I was just thinking." I try to brush it off.

"About what?"

"Um what did you have planned for tonight?"

"Nothing, really. I just thought we could watch a movie together or something. Why?" He moves his head back so he can look at me.

"No reason." I blush, not wanting to tell him what I was thinking.

"Tell me." He whines.

"Well I just thought that maybe... I though, like, you might be thinking that we would... uh we would have sex or something." My face is on fire and I can't seem to look him in the eye as these words leave my lips. He chuckles lightly and shakes his head.

"I would never force you into something that you're not ready for. Our relationship is kind of complicated but I don't think I'm quite ready for that either." He smiles.

"Okay good. I didn't know if that was why you wanted to come down here together or not." I say and bite my lip.

"No, I really just brought you down here because I love the beach and I thought it would be fun."

"Okay." I answer. I wrap my arms around his neck, lace my fingers in his hair and move my head back to where it was between his neck and the pillow.
