I Think I Love You...

Chapter 9

*Zoes POV*

We arrived at the restaurant and Niall parked his car in the first free space he saw, we both got out of the car and he took hold of my hand. My heart fluttered and i looked over to him and smiled. We entered the big building and Niall checked us in. We got shown to a table and we both sat down. I grabbed one of the menus and chose out what i wanted. I tried to go for something cheap. I decided to go for the spaghetti Bolognese, seeing as how i like that a lot. A waiter stopped at our table and asked if we were ready to order.

"Yes, actually. Uh, Zoe?"

"Oh, yeah I'm ready to order" I said smiling.

There was a pause of silence so i spoke up.

"Could I, em, please have the children's spaghetti bolagnease please?"

"Yup! and for you sir?" she said looking at Niall

"I'll have the steak and chips please, and make hers a adults please" Niall says giving me a sweet smile before carefully grabbing my menu and his, and passing them to the waiter. With a quick thank you he rushes off.

"Niall I can't afford the adults" you hadn't had your small work salary this week yet.

"And why does that matter, when I'm paying" a small smirk plays on his mouth.

"I refuse to let you pay Niall"

"Refuse all you want Zoe, I'm paying." The smirk slowly growing. There was no point in trying to change his mind, he was paying no matter what.

We talked, that's all we did on the date, and eat, yet it was one of the most perfect nights of my life. I've never found it so easy to talk to someone before, before I knew it words were pouring out my mouth. Yet all of which I said was pointless things, but he still say there taking in every word I said to him, like it all meant so much to him, and that I appreciated. You would never think that something so simple, could be so special.

He walked me outside, his hand slithered into mine. He was smiling, a small cute smile, like something wonderful was playing on his mind. His beautiful eyes glistening in the street lights. I like him, I really do.

*Nialls POV*

She's perfect, everything about her, from her pointless speeches to the way she smiles at every little thing. I wouldn't change her, not for anything.

We walk outside fingers linked, slowly pondering appreciating every tiny moment the world rewards us with.

We eventually reach the car, my mind sinks with the fact the date is nearly over. Opening the car door for her, I gently place my hand on the small of her back gesturing her into the car. She leaves me a small smile whilst climbing into the car. I quickly jog to the drivers seat, starting up the ignition and slowly pulling away.

Opening the car door for her outside her house I anxiously wait for the moment I have been waiting for. I help her out of the car and walk her up the drive.

My hearts pounding as we reach her door, this beautiful girl before me, how could I be so lucky. I look her in the eyes as I put my hands on her hips. Her eyes quickly darting down to where my hands are placed, wincing slightly. I instantly pull my hands away, worryingly shoving them into my pockets.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean t...."

"Niall, don't worry it's fine" she carefully takes my hands fitting them back onto her hips. Rising off her heels she places a small kiss on my mouth. Her lips soft and tender. She pulls away, glancing me a small smile as she turns and disappears into the house. I stand there hovering, catching the breath I had been holding. I think I love her....
