CHAPTER THIRTEEN:
Sitting on the bed is the most gorgeous black dress, black pumps, roses, and a note. I first pick up the note and read it.
Hey, love! Just wanted to do something special for you. Put this on and meet me in the living room. xx
I immediately throw the dress on.. it fits perfect. It's a long sleeve lace dress, with a black slip built in. Since I'm pretty tall, it comes up a little high. It falls about seven inches above my knee... and hugs my curves perfectly.
I go to look in the mirror and stare at myself, it's the first time in a very long time that I actually felt beautiful. Everything looks amazing... except my messy ponytail. I don't want to keep him waiting, so I fix my hair into a clean bun.
I throw on some extra deodorant and drench myself in parfume, considering I've been in the sun and sweating all day and don't have time for a shower... which I desperately need.
Just before I leave the room, I place the roses on the dresser and put on the shoes he got me... they fit perfect as well.
I walk towards the living room and see him waiting for me. "You look absolutely stunning." He gives me a hug and then leans closer, "and you smell amazing."
I try to keep the laughter inside because I know I really don't smell that good, but at least the parfume is working... hopefully it doesn't wear off any time soon.

We arrive at a very fancy restaurant... it's some weird name that I can't pronounce. We walk in and we immediately get seated. The table has a candle in the enter and a chandelier above us hanging from the ceiling.
It looks like something that literally came from a movie.
The waiter comes and I honestly don't even know what to order, so Niall orders for me.
After we finish, we make our way out and I thank him for everything. I still can't believe he did all of this.. and all for me.
As we walk out hand in hand, a bright light starts flashing... then another.. and another... lights surround us and I can't see anything. There's so much chaos.
"What the hell is going on?" I shout covering my face from the brightness.
I feel him pull me through it all. We finally reach the car and rush to get inside. I look over at him horrified.
"Paparazzi." He says tearing up, with lights flashing through the car windows.
I grab on to his hand as I can see he's really upset.
"They ruined the night." He says looking away.
"Nothing could ruin tonight." I assure him smiling.
We sit there for a few moments.
"The whole reason I did this was because I wanted to ask you something..." I have no idea what he's going to say, it's hard to focus with so many flashing lights distracting me.
"I'll ask you once we leave. I want this to be special and they're ruining it." He starts the car and we start to drive off, avoiding the people surrounding us.
We drive for a couple of minutes until he pulls into the lake dock, we're the only ones here.
"Come with me." He says getting out of the car. I take off my heels and follow him to shore.
We sit down in the sand... even though it's almost midnight, it wasn't too dark. The moon lights up the lake with the perfect amount of light. I look up to see the gorgeous stars scattered across the sky.
Niall grabs my hand, "I want to ask you.." He trails off and I start to feel uncomfortable at where this is going. He looks at me incredibly nervous, which makes me nervous.
"I know we've only known each other for less than two weeks.. but you just make me so happy." He smiles at me. I know how he feels... that's how i feel with Harry.. or used too.
He continues, "That's why I wanted to ask if you, um, want to be my girlfriend?"
