You Are My Sunshine ↠ Niall Horan

[14] - Shannon

S H A N N O N

I turn my head to see Niall's stare, "What's wrong?" I ask.

"Nothing, your just beautiful that's all." He shrugs while I blush looking back up at the fireworks, trying to keep myself from squealing. Niall is so sweet, but I have to keep myself from crushing on him.

He won't like me the way I like him, it's inevitable. Of course I have a small crush on him but that's not going to ruin anything between us, will it?

The show comes to an end, "Do you want to grab an ice cream and then we can go home?"

I nod, "I'm paying though because you paid for everything else."

"Shannon, no." He says sternly, "This is my treat."

After a few more protests I sigh, he's so stubborn. "Fine, thank you for today Niall, I had fun."

"That's alright, wouldn't of wanted to spend it any other way."

Slowly I get up off the swing and stretch, "How'd you find a place like this anyway?" I ask, referring to the area with the swing we were just sitting on.

"Last year, I was walking down the road over there," He points to the road north of the field, "And I saw it from a distance and I though it looked interesting."

"Hmm, why we're you just walking around?" We begin to wonder, Niall leading us to the ice cream van that suddenly came into view.

"Just bored, I told you before, I don't really have many friends around here."

I stop and look at him wide eyed, mocking a hurt expression making him laugh, finally. "But I do now." He says chuckling.

Niall's security guard appears in front of us with a scowl, "Uh, hey Joe..." Niall laughs nervously, "Where ya been mate?"

Joe gives him a playful glare before walking away a few metres behind us and I stifle my giggles, he looks so strange carrying around a stuffed teddy bear, it kind of reminds me of when my dad used to bring me to carnivals and he'd win prizes for me.

Niall didn't win that for me though, it's his toy and I hope he didn't notice that I wanted him to give it to me.

"So what ice cream flavour are we having princess?" That pet name. I can't help but smile and blush, "I'll have chocolate thanks."

"Hi, could we get two chocolate ice creams both in a cup? Thanks." Niall asks the young girl behind the counter, she looks about seventeen, what's with all the teenagers working at this fair?

"Sure thing bub." She winks at Niall as his eyes go wide, I try not to laugh at her and her cake face of make up. "That'll be $5.00 thanks." She batts her thick eyelashes, trying to look flirtatious whereas she just looks stupid as if she's got something in her eye.

"Um... thanks." Niall murmurs, we step back a little bit as we wait for our ice cream. I grab his bicep and rest my head on his shoulder giggling a little, "You right there, bub?" I joke.

I watch his jaw clench as he try's to fight off a smile, he mumbles a 'shut up' under his breathe making me laugh. Niall's arm reaches around my shoulders hesitantly and he looks down at me, since he's about a head and a half taller than me. I like being the shorter one though, it's an unusual feeling because of my height.

A shiver runs through me and Niall puts his arms around me tighter softly kissing my forehead, I can feel butterflies in my stomach.

Actually screw butterflies they're more like dinosaurs jumping around in my stomach.
