Niall's P.O.V:

"You look amazing." I sighed.

He smirked. "You don't look to bad yourself, Nialler."

I smiled.

"Come on we should get going. He said, walking towards me and extending his arm in my direction. I gratefully took hold of his hand and got up.

We put on our shoes and left the building, fingers intertwined. Somehow, a taxi was waiting for us straight away. I was guessing Liam called it in advance, because, I mean we're in London.

The car journey was short, and silent, but not awkwardly. I kept looking through the window, at the illuminated city that I loved.

We hopped out of the car, and I glanced at the building in front of us. It was a French corner cafe, it looked elegant and charming.

We walked inside, and a waiter came up to us, he was a bit petite, had a black almost pixie cut, and to be honest, was quite adorable. As he lead us through the restaurant, I realized me and Liam were still holding hands.The waiter gave us a table by the window, with candles set on it.

We sat opposite each other, I was still holding his right hand with my left above the tabletop. The waiter passed us a menu each. I chose Ratatouille and creme brulé for dessert.

As I received my glass of orange juice, I looked at Liam. Properly at him. Now, I don't know if I've said this before, and if I have, I'm going to say it again. He was beautiful. Everything him about him, every little detail was perfect. Every time I looked at him, I noticed a new detail. A new barely-there freckle, a new kind of glimmer in his eyes.

"So, how are you liking London so far?"

"I love it. Somehow, it has this certain feeling about it that beckons me."

He laughed. "I'm glad. I like it too."

"Why did you move then?"

"I told you. My mom got a job, and the school was better."

I hummed in response.

"Besides, if I didn't move, I would never have met you."

"True." I chuckled and sipped on my drink.

"It was actually a coincidence."

"Hmmm?"

"That I met you. If I hadn't gone the wrong way, I wouldn't have knocked into you."

I laughed. "Well I'm glad you did."

"Yeah, me too."

We looked into each other's eyes for a long while. There was that feeling again. That cliché feeling where everything stopped, and suddenly, it was just me and Liam. Just us and this moment. His deep brown eyes locked onto my blue ones. Every time I looked at him, I felt almost small. He was so beautiful, like a fine piece of art, and I was just someone admiring it.

"Ratatouille and spring vegetable soup." The petite male with a name tag saying 'Dan' presented us with our meals and a smile.

"Thank you."

"Enjoy. And if you need anything, just call me over." He walked away briskly.

"Oh my God, this is heavenly." I practically moaned at my first bite.

Liam swallowed hard. "I'm glad you like it." He grinned.

We finished our main course, and we waited for dessert.

"Larry?"

"Yeah. Oh, it's what I call Louis and Harry."

Liam laughed deeply. "I see. Well, we would be....Niam?"

I chuckled, slightly uncomfortable. I sighed as 'Dan' placed down our desserts.

The creme brulé was delicious, and after Liam payed, we stood up to leave. However, a hand on my shoulder interrupted me. I turned to see Dan.

"By the way guys, I couldn't help but fangirl about you. You're really cute together."

"Thanks, Dan." Liam said in a way that made it look as if they had been friends for years.

"Do you guys know each other?" I questioned.

"Yeah, since secondary school." Dan smiled a teethy grin.

"You should come and visit us in Mullingar." Liam said.

"Only if I can bring Phil."

"Deal." Liam chuckled, and we left.

"Aaaaarrrhhhh!!!" I shot up and screamed.

"Ni? Are you okay?" Liam quickly got up and asked, panicked.

"N-Nightmare." I shivered.

Liam sat next to me and hugged me. "Ssshhh, it's okay Ni. Whatever it was, you're safe now. I'm here with you." He said stroking my hair.

"S-stay please." I whispered.

"Okay." He shuffled so we were both laying down next to each other and he held me close with one hand, rubbing soothing circles into my hip with his thumb. " You're okay, Ni. You're safe." He whispered.

His words calmed me down, and his comforting touch made me feel safe.

Suddenly, my left wrist itched.

Again.
