Ashley's POV

"Are you ready?" Sarah asks when she knocks at the door to Niall's and my hotel room. I open it and shake my head. She groans and walks in.

"Niall, you're not going to wear that t-shirt. Here wear that white shirt and black jeans with it." she commands. I hear him sigh.

"Now you, you are going to wear a dress." Sarah opens a wardrobe and shows me a short white dress. I grab matching shoes and get changed quickly. I put on mascara and then I grab a small bag for my phone and the key card.

When Niall is dressed, he shoves his card into his pocket as well as his phone. He brought his guitar with him on vacation so he takes it too.

"Everything is set at the beach and it will be dark soon. So hurry the fuck up, will you?" Sarah says while opening the door. Niall shoves me softly out of the hotel room and closes the door behind us.

We just walk about 2 minutes when we see the bonfire at the beach and the blankets around it. It looks beautiful and the waves of the ocean make a calming noise.

"Hey guys." I say with a smile on my face.

"Hi." Eleanor says. She's sitting between Louis' legs, just as Pascalle sits between Liam's. Perrie's head is rested against Zayn's chest. Niall and I sit down, giving each other a look that basically says "we don't really fit in here". Sarah kisses Harry and then sits down on his lap.

Couples...

"May I?" I ask Niall and point at his guitar. He gives it to me with an unsure look on his face. "Don't worry I'm not that bad at playing guitar."

"She's actually really good." Sarah says. I just smile.

I look at the strings and try to remember a song. Not long and I start to play Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran. None of the boys and girls talk and just when I wanted to sing I hear Niall's voice not failing a single note.

"You look so wonderful in your dress, I love your hair like that. The way it falls on the side of your neck, down your shoulders and back...."

His voice is so perfect and I listen to him, so I almost forget to keep playing. I take a quick look at everyone and see them kissing and stuff. Yay.

The song ends and I giggle when I give Niall his guitar back.

"That was amazing, since when do you play guitar?" he asks.

"Hmm since I'm 9 I suppose. My brother and I both startet to learn it from our mother." I explain.

"Wow."

Perrie, Zayn, Eleanor and Louis get up for a walk at the beach. Pascalle, Sarah, Harry and Liam leave us alone too to go into the opposite direction.

"Well, now we're alone." Niall comments.

"We should be used by it now."

"True. We're like the losers of the group. Everyone has a boyfriend and kisses and has sex and we don't. We're just sort of there, belonging in that group somehow and somehow not."

"I hate it." I admit.

"I want someone I can kiss and make out with too. Do you ever just feel lonely?"

"All the time."

I sigh and take 2 sticks. I put one marshmallow on each of them and hold them into the fire. I wait until they catch fire and then I pull them out and blow so the flame disappears. I give Niall one and eat the other one myself when I lay down on a huge blanket. 

Niall lays down with his head next to mine, but our feet in different directions.

"Your hair is soft." he says when he plays with a strand of my hair.

"That's because of the shampoo I use." I roll my eyes and grab a cigarette that is in my bag. I light it and inhale the smoke. 

Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit.

When I'm done smoking I just throw the cig into the bonfire.

"Since when do you smoke?"

"I don't know, I some sometimes when I feel like I really need it."

I lean my head into Niall's direction and he does the same. I look into his eyes and he smiles.  His hot breath tickles my skin. For a few this moment seemed infinite.

Until our lips connect for a kiss.

A simple and sweet kiss.

I close my eyes as the kiss gets deeper. Niall moves so he's holding himself up above me. My fingers are tangled in his hair pulling on it softly.

We pull away and he grins.

"It might sound weird but I wanted to do this for a while already." he whispers and kisses me again.

"Me too." I tell him between more kisses.

"You're driving me crazy. All the fucking time."

"Is there a but? Cause there is always a but."

Niall pulls away fully and sits next to me. I raise an eyebrow.

"What?" I ask unsure.

"I just, I don't want to date you. You're a model which means perfection. I would never ever date you."

"Why did you kiss me then?" I ask, feeling the lump in my throat.

"I wanted to know what it feels like... and it's a crazy feeling. Look, we could maybe be friends.. with benefits?" he suggests.

"Friends with benefits? Are you kidding me? Of course not! I'm not just someone to fuck around with. Get a girlfriend if you're so desperately in need."

I get up quickly and want to leave when Niall grabs hold of my wrist.

"Ash"

"Save it Niall, save it. I don't want to know." with those words I get my wrist free and walk back to the hotel room crying my eyes out.
