*Jessica's P.O.V.*
When we finished eating, Jade came by and gave us the check and a few breath mints, giving me a cheeky wink as she did so. I'm pretty sure my blush was visible from where she stood when she gave me a smug look and suggestive wink over her shoulder. I blushed even deeper, looking down at the table chuckling to myself about my friend and her antics. Thinking about it, I quickly snatched a mint and opened it before popping it in my mouth.
Niall, who was busy digging his credit card out, sat completely oblivious to the whole encounter. I picked up the remaining mint and offered it to him.
"Oh perfect!" he cheered with a laugh, "Can't have smelly breath on our date now can we?" he smirked, giving me a wink, causing me to blush - again. God, what was wrong with me? I never blushed!
"Wouldn't want that." I played along, laughing when it was his turn to blush.
"Meh, stop laughing at me and just come on!" he groaned, and grabbed my hand, practically dragging me out the restaurant as soon as his card was brought back.
I simply laughed and let him drag me back to the sidewalk. "Which cheesy tourist shop would you like to explore first, my love?" he asked, grabbing my hand in his and swinging them back and forth between our bodies.
"Hmm..... " I tapped my chin as I looked around us, "How about... this one!" I said, taking him by surprise as I pulled him into a random shop. He yelped and stumbled a bit in shock, but followed me into the shope nonetheless. "Woah." I said as I finally looked up and saw the shop we had come into.
We were surrounded with hundreds of kinds of candies. This store had everything from hard candies to, gummy candies, to chocolates, to ints, and everything in between. We both tried to go in different directions, causing us to snap back together since our fingers were still entwined. Giggling and blushing, Niall leads us in the direction that I had tried to go in, being the true gentleman that he is.
We eventually made our way through the entire store, sampling and selecting candies on the way. By the time we made it to the front of the store, we easily had over 5 unds of candy in our arms.
The man working the cash register was this cute little old man who looked to be in his late fifties. When he initially saw us he gave us a wierd look - probably because of the mountains of sweets in our possession. But then a knowing grin spread across his face, seemingly lighting up his face.
"Will this be all?" he asked, and by the expression he wore, he was highly amused. Niall and I exchanged a glance before nodding to the old man exctiedly. The man just chuckled and started scanning the items.
Twenty minutes later, we were leaving the shop wghen the old man called out to Niall, "Hey! Young man, you have a beautiful girlfriend, you better treat her right." The man gave him a stern look.
Niall returned his steady gaze before turning and looking me in the eye, "Yes sir, I will, sir."
I could feel the blush rise on my cheeks as Niall gave the man a nod and a wave, before guiding us out the door. Once again showing his gentleman qualities, Niall of course held the door open for me as we left the shop.
"So, now what?" I asked Niall, who seemed to have lost himself to his thoughts. This seemed to bring him out of his head.
"You'll see." he replied secretly.
All I could do was wonder what I had gotten myself into
