Nervous (A Shawn Mendes x Niall Horan Fanfic) ✅

(Part 16)

Shawn's POV

Once we were done at my studio, Niall and I went back to the guitar shop. On our way back, I kept noticing that Niall would sneak looks at me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, seeing Niall look at me for almost the fifth time.

"Trying to figure how you are so damn hot," Niall said.

"You think I'm hot?" I asked, a blush crossing my face as I raised an eyebrow.

"Who doesn't?" Niall asked.

"So you're just voicing other people's thoughts?" I asked, stopping at a red light.

"If I wanted to compliment you, I would tell you that you are incredibly handsome," Niall said.

"And are you complimenting me there?" I asked, pressing on the gas as the light turned green.

"Yeah," Niall said.

"What if I think you are incredibly handsome as well?" I asked, looking at Niall out of the corner of my eye.

"Then we're going to have issues," Niall smirked.

"And why is that?" I asked.

"Because there can only be one," Niall said.

"Says who?" I asked.

"Says me," Niall said, sounding like a little kid.

"Saying that makes you sound like you're six," I said.

"What if that was my mental age?" Niall asked, playfully crossing his arms.

"There's a lot of "what if's" in this conversation," I said.

"What if I like that?" Niall asked, smirking.

I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Of course you would."

Niall smiled back at me.

I shook my head and focused on the road ahead of me.

"So what are we doing now?" Niall asked.

"Going back to the guitar shop," I said. "Unless there's something else you'd like to do."

"There is a place I would like to go actually," Niall said. "And it requires you to turn left here."

I turned left as Niall had told me.

"Where is this place at?" I asked.

"It's just a park that has trails behind it. I figured we could go there and walk down a few of them," Niall said.

"Sounds good to me," I said.

"Go straight after stopping at the stop sign," Niall said.

I followed his direction and soon he gave me another direction to follow. Soon enough, we arrived at a park, just like Niall said.

"Is this it?" I asked.

"Yea," Niall said.

I nodded and parked the car. After turning the engine off, I followed Niall to a trail opening.

"Ready?" Niall asked.

"Of course," I said, following Niall down a trail.

After maybe thirty minutes of walking and following random trails through the woods, I had a feeling we were lost.

"Niall, do you know where we are?" I asked.

"Of course I do," Niall said. "I've been down these trails more times than I can count."

"Okay," I said, the uneasy feeling still in my stomach.

Fifteen minutes later, Niall started to look worried.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

Niall nodded. "Yeah, I just haven't seen these trees before."

"Are we lost?" I asked.

"Maybe," Niall said.

"Wait, really?" I asked, beginning to feel scared.

"Hold on, let me see if I can pull up a map on my phone," Niall said, taking his phone out of his pocket.

After a minute, he looked up at me.

"What?" I asked, looking around.

"Uh, can you get your phone out to get a map?" Niall asked, looking a little shaken.

I nodded and pulled my phone out of my pocket. I opened my maps on my phone and was shocked when I saw that there was no service.

"I can't get to my map, it says there's no service," I said, looking up at Niall.

"Shit," he cursed.
