Emily's POV

Niall leads me to the streets and doesn't tell me where we are going. He lives fairly close to Times Square so it would be likely for him to take me there. I still can't believe I forgave him so quick, and I don't know if that was a good decision.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"You'll see," he says with a grin. Seriously, where are we going? It's almost lunchtime, and I'm getting hungry...

He leads me towards Times Square and I smile at how beautiful it is. Despite all the bad things that happened in my life, the lights in front of me make it all better. So does the boy in front of me. I think back to last week. How could I tell him that I loved him? Did I? I only just met him like two weeks ago.

After a while we arrive at a large restaurant. I look up to see the sign. It read "Red Lobster", yum. We stand outside for a while until a man leads us to a table.

"I hope you like this restaurant. You haven't been here before, have you?"

"No," I answer as we sit down "It looks like I'll like it here though."

"You like seafood?" he asks.

"Love it," I say. He nods. I look through the menu and can't seem to decide on what I want.

"What are you ordering?"

"Um...Wood-Grilled shrimp skewers." I finally decide.

"Really? I hate shrimp, I'm getting fish and chips." he says. Ew.

"Ew, we don't see to have the same interest in food. I hate fish and chips."

"Well Emily, don't you see? Opposites attract," he says, grinning the cutest fucking grin I've ever seen in my life. I laugh.

"Ok then, I'm okay with that," he smiles at my small comment. Maybe I do love him? Is that crazy?

-------

A couple minutes after we order, our food arrives.

"It looks delicious," he says. I don't even say anything, I just dig in. He laughs at me. "You're really hungry, huh."

"Is it that obvious?" I say with a grin. I like this, the way we get on so well together when we talk. I want to ask him about that girl from last week though.

"Yep,"

"Yeah, um...can I ask you a question?" I ask.

"Sure, what is it?" He looks nervous.

"It's just that I want to know who that girl was..."

"What girl? I didn't hang out with any girls besides you," he says a bit aggressively.

"I know, I meant the girl who you were yelling at when I went to your apartment for the first time, last week." He must think I'm accusing him of hanging out with another girl.

"Oh..." He seems more relieved. "That was my younger sister. Her name is Natalia, and she was just being fucking annoying that day. She wasn't suppose to go to my apartment, yet she disobeyed me." Oh, his sister. That makes more sense.

"Do you love her?" I ask. That was a big mistake.

"That's none of your concern." he says sternly. "Goddamn Emily, why did you have to ask that?" He seems really mad about that simple question

"I'm sorry,"

Niall's POV

"I'm sorry," she says. Fuck, why did I have to get so upset about that question? I know it's not her fault, but it's just none of her fucking business. Just when I thought I got rid of all those bad memories, she brings them all back. I didn't think that the person who could take them away could also bring them back. I know the truth now, I can't get rid of those memories. They'll be there to haunt me for the rest of my life.

"It's fine. Let's just not talk about it," I say after a couple minutes. She nods.

When we finished our food, I paid the check. It really wasn't that expensive. Should I have taken her to a fancier restaurant? I lead her out of Red Lobster to take her to my favorite place, as cheesy as it is. I always went here as a child before the bad memories kicked in. It was really just...special.

"Where are we going?" she asks.

"To my personal favorite place in Times Square."

I lead her into the store covering her eyes with my hands. I'm so glad she didn't think to much about what I said before.

"Okay we're here," I say as I lift my hands off of her eyes. When she opens them, she smiles. For a minute, she just stares at me, probably thinking of how weird I am. She then looks around the big m&m store and smiles at the m&m dressed as the Statue of Liberty.

"So this is your favorite place," she says with a smile. That smile...

"Yep, weird huh,"

"No, I think it's cute," she says while kissing me on the cheek. Fuck, whenever she does that...it just gives me this giddy feeling inside. Like a kid in a candy store, and not just because we actually are in a candy store right now. I just look at her and smile. "I do want to take a picture with this m&m though."

"Sure, I'll take it." I say.

"No, I want you to be in it," I smile again. She takes out her phone and holds the camera in front of us to take a picture. For the first one I just smile a bit, but she takes a second. I kiss her on the cheek for that one. Her smile grows, and I see a rather old woman smiling at us from across the room.

We climb up the stairs to the room filled with what looks like towers of m&ms. "You can get some if you want," I say. I'm definitely getting some... She grabs a bag and pulls each handle getting some of every flavor. I then grab my own and fill it. By the end her bag was completely full and mine was overflowing. "I think we have enough," I say.

"I'd say so," she replied. When we got to the cashier Emily wanted to pay, but I didn't let her. Bloody hell, the m&m's costed $32.78, who pays that much for candy? Then again, it was mostly me...

"Thank you," she says when I hand her the candy as we walk outside. We sit down on a bench and ate the m&ms. At one point we fed each other wedding cake style. As I stare at Emily's blue eyes, I see life. I see the beautiful girl she is in and outside. She's amazing.

"Emily..." I start to say. "I kinda wish we had something together,"

"Oh," she says and starts to frown.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just thought that we did." she says "I kinda thought we were...dating."

"Oh," I must say that made me pretty happy. "Well, now we are," I say smiling. She looks confused, and happy. I can't stand to just look at her smile like that. That's when I crash my lips into hers.
