Niall and I walked into the main building of our cottage hotel. We both walked to our right and ended up in the bar where there were a couple large men sitting. They were all clearly drunk and were yelling and laughing at each other. That’s Ireland for you.

            Niall walked right past them and we took the two empty seats at the end of the bar. The bartender came over and asked if we’d like anything to drink.

            I looked at Niall, “I think we’re good actually, do you have a dessert menu?”

            The bartender nodded and took out two menus from underneath the bar. We opened them and she got us both small glasses of ice water.

            “What did you want to get?” I asked quietly while looking down the somewhat short list of dessert options.

            “What are you hungry for?” Niall asked, taking my hand underneath the counter. A small smile spread across my lips as I only continued going up and down the list, memorizing every option there was.

            “Let’s get the chocolate cake,” I said quietly, looking up at Niall who was beaming.

            “Okay, anything for you,” he replied and the bartender came back over and took our order.

            “How many of those would you like?” she asked in a thick Irish accent, holding up her light green pad.

            “One,” Niall answered, picking up both our menus and handing them to the lady. We thanked her and she walked away for a couple minutes.

            I took a sip of my water and Niall looked at me.

            “Have you ever been here before?” I asked looking around at the bar environment. It was very dark with brick walls and bright lights hanging down over some small tables scattered around. There were some neon signs hanging on the walls which also shed some light. There was a big screen TV hanging right above the two of us since we were at the end of the bar.

            Niall shook his head in response to my question, “This is all new.”

            “It seems pretty,” the men at the other end of the bar started yelling at something on the TV and banging on the counter, “Hardcore? Don’t you think?”

            Niall laughed, “I guess you could say that.”

            The bartender came back over with our one slice of chocolate cake and two forks, “Thank you,” we said at the same time and she smiled and walked away.

            I looked at Niall and we both took a piece of cake on our forks at the same time. We looked at each other again and smiled. We brought it slowly to each other’s mouths at the same time. We put our forks in each other’s mouths and smiled like idiots, but then cracking up. We ate the rest of the cake on our own and I looked up at Niall halfway through.

            “You have a little something,” I said pointing to the side of his mouth. He raised his eyebrows, totally oblivious. I smiled and put my fork down. “You and your messy eating,” I said as I cupped his cheek in my hand and used my thumb to wipe the smear of chocolate icing off his face. I put my thumb on his lips and he smiled and quickly licked it off. I giggled and picked up my fork again. We finished the slice of cake and Niall let me eat the last small piece.
