*Saba's POV*
Riding a tandem bike is the hardest thing I have ever done. I have already fallen off twice and feel really bad because that means so has Liam. I have literally said sorry about a billion times and he seems to be fine but still. So awkward. Tatum and Niall have an interesting set up going where once they get going he puts his feet up and he peddles mostly. It's funny to watch but obviously working as they haven't even fallen over yet. Penelope and Zayn are not quite as balanced as Tatum but have not fallen over as much as me either. Argh. I think i am just to distracted by the fact it is LIAM PAYNE I'm riding a bike through Stanley park with. Still after like 4 hrs with them I can't get over this...
*20 mins later*
After a long but leisurely ride we came to a stop near a beach where a few blankets had been laid out with various different cupcakes and treats. We all hopped (well i fell... but the others hopped) off our bikes and walked over to sit on the blankets. I was sitting right beside Liam and our knees were bumping against each other. Was he as acutely aware of it as I was? If so he definitely wasn't showing it. I looked over and grabbed a brownie. As I looked up I took in the sun sinking over the horizon and the barges floating in the bay. I can honestly say in the moment I was completely content. Everyone had gone mostly quite surveying the scenery as I was. I broke out of the trance I was under and looked around. Niall and Tatum had disappeared... hmm. I looked over at everyone else, no one seemed to have noticed. I looked around the blankets and noticed two pairs of feet prints leading off towards some beach wood. I stood up slowly and followed the foot steps. Only Penelope looked up and saw me leaving. I pointed to the feet prints and her jaw dropped, then she smiled and obviously suppressed a giggle. She jumped up too and said "We will be back in a second!" "ouch, getting ditched on a date!" Harry replied playfully and Louis, Liam and Zayn smiled. "We'll just be one minuentum!" Penelope replied. They looked confused but turned back to the desserts. "Come on!!" I hissed impatient. We silently walked along the sand following the foot steps. They led us behind the pile of beach wood. I peered around the pile and Penelope did the same. From our vantage point we could see Niall's back and Tatums hands around his waist. I very nearly started to scream. No. Way. We scurried around to the other side of the pile and looked again. From there we could see that they were most definatley kissing. What in world!? It was a good thing Niall's eyes were closed because from where we were if he opened them we would most definitely be seen. Standing slack jawed, giggles practically bursting out of us. We 'snuck' not quite so quietly back to the boys. Penelope plunked herself back between Harry and Louis and I sat back with Liam. Harry raised an eyebrow at Penelope and she nodded back. Something tells me they had already know about this... whatever 'this' was.
*Penelope's POV*
"We caught them this time!" I said to Harry. "Did they see you guys?" He asked in his deep slow voice. I could literally listen to him talk forever. But right now I had to at least try and seem coherent. "No they didn't..." I giggled "they seemed pretty, erm, engrossed." He laughed. Louis turned to us and said "I think we should go surprise them!" "YES." Harry and I said together. We told the others about our plan but they opted out. The camera men were taking a break from filming for a bit so the timing was perfect. "Well lets go then!" I urged. We stood up and walked along the beach and up onto the sea wall again. We walked past the beach wood pile and kept going. Their hiding spot was good, I had to admit. From all sides they were hidden by logs. We walked around the back of the pile so as to launch a surprise attack. We didn't really have a plan but when we got practically right on top of them Louis went "AAAAAAAAGH!" very. VERY. loudly. They sprang apart and look dazed. We all fell about laughing. Tatum turned very pink and Niall laughed a little nervously. "You left foot prints in the sand so we followed you!" I gasped out between laughing. I stuck out a hand to each of them and pulled them up. "Come on back to the beach you love birds," Louis said, wrapping an arm around each of there shoulders as we sauntered back to the blankets.
Zayn, Liam and Saba were having what seemed to be an interesting conversation when we returned and the camera men were setting back up their gear. Saba waggled her eyebrows at Tatum as we all sat down again. Tatum turned pink all over again but smiled the hugest smile at the same time. As the camera men set up the boom and everything for one last shot I tried to ignore the fact the date was almost over and focused on the fact that if you looked closely you could see Saba and Liam sneaking glances at each other and when there eyes met they would both smile. Or the fact the Niall and Tatum were sitting very close together with there hands overlapped on the blanket. I looked at Harry sitting beside me. I am the worst at making boys realize I like them. My flirting skills are about -200. Obviously nothing was going to happen between us tonight. But oh well, I still had a lot of fun. Hopefully the bonds the other girls had made might mean we could see them again?
*Tatum's POV*
My head is still spinning. Although that was probably the most embarrassing moment of my entire life kissing Niall is like spinning in circles for hours. But in a good way. In a floaty headed I'm-flying-above-the-stars kind of way. Gaaaaah I have turned into a romantic loonatic! unfortunately now that I am no longer kissing le Irish sex god I am returning back to (partial) sanity. I look at my watch. Oh nooooo. Its 7:55. The date ends at 8. Okay well I have just made out with Niall so I mean we gotta see them again right? RIGHT? My brain is such a mess right now. I mean usually it's pretty bad... but Niall seems to have had very unfortunate effect on my train of thought. Urrrgh.
The Show produce suddenly appeared and had us all say our good byes. the whole thing had felt so easy and natural but being MADE to say good bye in front of the cameras made everything feel so fake. I hugged all the boys but held the tightest to Niall. I know I have really only jut met him but my previous fangirl obsession seems to have given way to a more crush like feeling. Plus he is an ace kisser. Not that i have much (any) practice in that field but anyone who makes my legs go jelloid is an ace kisser in my book. Great. I'm mind babbling again. And i think I might start crying if they leave now. I catch Penelope's eye. She can read my mind somehow and sees that I'm close to a break down. Before she can do anything about it Louis pipes up "Okay girlies!' he says "We have about a week off in this lurvely city due to some unexpected cancellations" Those are the most sacred words that will ever be spoken. "and we would like to spend sometime with you!" I take that back. THOSE were the most sacred words ever spoken. THEY WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH US. my glee must have shown on my face because Niall caught my eye and waggled his eyebrows. Instead of feeling embarrassed I just smiled harder. This is so amazing. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY MAKE THIS NIGHT BETTER?!
