Ashley's POV

Amelia survived, but she escaped her hospital room. We haven't found her yet.

Tonight I have a dinner date with Niall. After the date he's going to let me spend the night at his house.

I'm planning on wearing something classy, but not girly dress with 5 inch heels girly. 

I wait outside with my purse hoping for him to arrive soon.

A couple minutes pass by until he shows up with his Corvette. I stand up on the steps, turning around to lock the door. I jam the key in the lock and I kick the door mad. 

"Need some help princess?" He smirks.

"No, it's just my landlord won't fix this stupid lock." I say.

"I can fix it for you tomorrow if you want." He says, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Nah, that won't be necessary. I can fix it later." I finally lock the door, and the other 4 on it. 

"5 locks? Really? I only have 3." He says laughing. Ahh how I love his beautiful laugh. He can go from a really school girl laugh to a manly laugh or sometimes in between.

I give him a sly smile.

"Well if you have a killer after you I think you would want to have many locks I'd say." We both start laughing.

"You look very beautiful." He says as we walk to the car. I am very pleased by his manners.

"No I don't, I would never be beautiful. Have you seen me? I'm hideous. Even Medusa ran away."

We're outside my side of the car and as I'm about to open the car door, he spins me around and grabs my hand.

"Don't you ever say that about yourself. First of all it is not true, I bet you I can grab any guy off the street and ask if you were pretty and they'd say 'Yes' don't you dare say that about yourself there are women wanting to be you out there. You are perfect."

We stare at each other for a minute as he hovers me. He reaches around me which scares me a little, but it's just to open my car door. He helps me in the car like a boy should on a date. He drives to one of my favorite restaurants TideWater Grill

(A eating place near me but I've never been in it so this could be fake)

It's an eating diner you would want to dress up for but it's not like a really rich place. 

"Hello, what would you like today?" A preppy blond girl says to me, she focuses on Niall and flirts with him. He ignores it and she notices I sent her the death glance.

He decides to get some Chicken with Rosemary with the tomato cocoa sauce. I get my usual of medium rare steak with a side of a devil cake desert.

We wait and it becomes very awkward between us until I end it,

"I was chatting with Louis and he say you really like football a lot." I say.

"Yes, but you know I mean soccer right?" He says.

"Niall, of course, I know you're from Ireland so I think I would know that. Liam kind of came in the conversation and said you liked Derby, I've heard they're doing good this season." I say sounding smart, but I really am not in sports.

"Yes, they made it to championships and I'm happy."

(I don't know if they really did or not this year, I think so but I forgot to check and I only payed attention to my schoolwork this year)

"Yeah, that's really nice."

"I was talking to Emily and she told me you could figure skate and you run track."

"Yes I was a high level figure skater until my partner quit and my season was over last winter. And I use to run track for college and middle school. I wan't really good."

"Well what were all them trophies in your case for?" He says as we get our food.

"Thank you." I say to the waitress.

"Oh that's just trophies from having straight a's in high school. And also that was just little league cheerleading when I was 4 and 12, nothing really special." I say. 

"Luke also told me you were a great cook, how was that?" He says.

"Oh when I was a kid I use to come home and when my grandparents worked I would grab random stuff from the kitchen and cook something and see if it was delicious."

After Dinner

We walk up the stairs to Niall's flat, right back to the beautiful living room.

"Make your self at home." He says locking the front door for safety.

"When did you move here?" I say.

"Um, about 2 or 3 months ago. Not so long ago."

I smile a little looking at some pictures of him and his brother. I see one with two little blond girls next to him.

"These must be your two sisters." I say.

He turns around frightened.

"How did you know I had two sisters?" He says wide eyes.

"Niall I'm trying to figure out who this person is doing all of this, I did my research. It's okay I won't mention it." I say remembering what Michael told me in that dream, or was that even a dream?

"Oh it's fine, just not a whole lot of people know about that."

It gets kind of awkward again as we stare at each other.

"Lets go to my room. We can watch a movie." He suggests.

"Okay c'mon!" I say running up the steps with him.

We pick a scary movie Sinister.

At a jumpy part I laugh because I sit still while he buries his head in my neck. We start to cuddle and every scary part where he jumps we hold on to each other. It starts to get midnight and I change into some track shorts and a tank top to sleep in. I put my hair in a messy bun and I say,

"Good night." 

I start to walk down stairs as I hear him,

"Woah where are you going?" He asks me.

"The couch, where do you think?"  I say as I start to grin.

"No, you should sleep in my bed. C'mon." He says holding his hand out.

I take a deep breath and go ahead and take it as I hop up the stairway.

We both climb into the bed as he reaches over to turn the light off. We're both facing each other and I start to close my eyes in the pitch blackness. I get scared for a second when I feel a strong arm around me. Niall closes the space between us and I can't help but smile. We fall asleep holding on to each other comforting one another.
