Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

26++Florida (Part 3)

Day 4 of Florida

Alyson's POV

I felt someone rubbing my shoulder, slightly shaking me, but I didn't want to wake up. I didn't know what time it was but I knew for sure that it was too early for my eyes to be open. I stirred on my bed and shifted to lying on my stomach, working hard to ignore the annoying attempt of trying to wake me up. 

"Aly," a familiar voice whispered but I was too tired to think of who it was.

I didn't respond to the soothing voice.

"Aly, wake up." it whispered into my ear this time.

"Go away." I replied under my breath, much too tired to speak.

"Not until I get to see those beautiful brown eyes of yours." 

Just from that comment, I knew it was Niall.

"Niall," I whined. "Let me sleep, please." I kept my eyes closed just to bug him.

"Please wake up? I wanna take you somewhere." Niall begged.

"What time is it?" I asked, tucking my face in my pillow.

"Around 7 a.m." he told.

I chucked one of my pillows at him with my eyes still closed and I heard him laugh. I probably missed my target.

"Ni, it's too early." I whined again, wanting to sleep forever.

"Please? You won't regret it," he continued. "Well, I guess you could regret it, depending on how you feel--just please come with me."

"Where are you taking me?" 

"Not far," Niall said. "Now hurry and get dressed but make sure to be quiet. I don't want to wake up the whole house.

"Oh, just like how you woke me up?" I snapped.

"Exactly, now get dressed and meet me out back when you're done." he instructed. I heard the door close softly and that was my cue to get out of bed.

I laughed to myself, remembering how Niall said he wouldn't leave until he got to see my eyes. I sleepily walked to my closet and nearly collapsed because I was so tired. I picked out a black high waisted skirt with pink floral print on it, a pink bandeau, and strappy sandals.

I brushed and curled my hair as fast and I could and pinned it in a half-up half-down look. I brushed my teeth which took a few minutes, slapped a listerine strip on my tongue, and applied the minty chapstick. I could literally smell the mint radiating off of my mouth and I loved it.

I swiped on some deodorant, went to the bathroom real quick, slipped a bracelet on my wrist, and chained a necklace around my neck. I gave myself one last look in the mirror and once I was satisfied, I went to meet Niall out back.

We walked hand-in-hand along the beach and Niall looked a bit too excited, making me even more anxious to see what is to come.

"We're almost there." Niall informed me.

I sighed. "If I knew there was gonna be a lot of walking, I wouldn't have come." I teased.

"We haven't walked that much. You can still see the house from here." he stated and we both turned to look back at the distanced house.

A few more minutes of silent walking and Niall finally stopped us in front of huge boulder. He stepped aside with a massive grin on his face and me gestured to the boulder.

I looked up and saw that there were words spray-painted with a cool design that read, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALY' in big print.

I laughed and turned to the blonde Irishman. "You did this?"
