Road Trip

12-Magic Under the Stars

"Seriously, where the fuck are they?" Jessica grumbled, stabbing the buttons in her phone to call TJ for the fifth time.

"They're probably making their way back to us." Harry reasoned.

"But the fireworks are over and we've been waiting for like ten minutes! What could possibly be taking them so long?!" Jessica said, exasperated.

Harry waggled his eyebrows suggestively. "Well there's quite a bit two persons of the opposite sex can do with a mere ten minutes."

Jessica rolled her eyes and sighed. "The fair is closing and we really should get back on the road." She glanced down at her phone. "Let me just try her one more time..."

Just as she was dialing TJ's number, Harry spotted the two, hand in hand, strolling towards them. "Look, here they come. You can calm down now." Harry joked. Jessica glared at him. "Ha ha." She said sarcastically before fixing her glare on the TJ and Niall.

"Seriously, what took y'all so long? The fireworks have been over and the fair is closing." Jessica reprimanded them.

"Sorry," TJ held her hands up in surrender. "We lost track of time."

"Whatever," Jessica waved away her apology. "We need to get back on the road." She held out the keys to TJ. "Here. You're driving."

TJ reluctantly took the keys from Jessica. "Alright." She sighed.

"I could drive, if ya want." Niall offered.

Harry coughed loudly. Jessica gave him a weird look.

"What was that about?" Jessica asked skeptically.

"Ahh uh nothing, I just had something in my throat." Harry explained while coughing again. TJ gave him a strange look before turning to Niall and smiling.

"That would be awesome. Thanks Niall."

The group walked together to the jeep and climbed in. Harry and Jessica sat in the back while TJ sat in the passenger's seat.

As Niall pulled out of the parking lot, Jessica asked him, "So what really took y'all so long?"

Niall shrugged. "We just talked."

Jessica stared at him skeptically. "Really? That's all?"

"Jessica! Seriously?" TJ demanded, throwing a glare in Jessica's direction.

Niall blushed as realization dawned on him. "We didn't do anything like that!" He insisted, glancing at Jessica in the rear view mirror.

"Alright, alright! I was just making sure." Jessica said, biting back a smile.

"Good. Cause I'm not that type of guy. I would never do that to you." Niall said to TJ. She looked at him skeptically. "I mean I want to, I really want to, but I would never force you to do something you don't wanna do. Trust me I would love to have-" Niall tried to correct himself.

"Niall, stop talking. You're making it worse." Harry laughed, shaking his head. Niall closed his mouth immediately, his face a dark shade of pink.

"Let's uh, listen to some music." TJ quickly changed the subject. She reached for the button on the dashboard and switched on the radio.

"No, no, no boringgg." She muttered to herself, looking for a good song.

"Wait! I love this song!" Niall stopped her. "You look so perfect standing there in my American Apparel underwear and I know now, that I'm so down!" He sang loudly, bobbing his head to the beat. Harry gave Niall a bewildered look.
