The Only One I Want - A Niall Horan Story

Chapter Eleven - The Campout (Day One)

Niall and I set up the tent after we stood there and took in the beautiful view for a couple minutes. Niall wanted to set the tent up by himself, but I wouldn't let him and he was pretty tired from driving all day, so he didn't fight it. Once the tent was set up, it was about noon. Yes, I know, I said he was driving all day, but he was. We left the house at 3 AM to beat the paparazzi and fans out. He woke up at 1 AM to set everything up, so he was pretty exhausted. We decided to pull out some food to eat for lunch. Niall being the Irish lad he is, of course he brought potatoes. So, we set up a fire and cooked the potatoes and put some toppings on them to eat for lunch. I must say, he was a pretty good cook, even without an oven to work with.

"That was delicious." Niall said licking his lips.

"I agree." I laughed. "So what are we going to do now?"

"I say we go for a walk and enjoy the nice weather."

"Ooh, yea, a walk sounds nice right now."

"Alright then, lets clean up a bit here and then we'll leave, ok?"

"Ok."

After cleaning up from lunch, we left for a walk, although it started to rain a bit, so we had to come back sooner than we wanted to. By the time we got back it was almost 3 PM. We put our swimsuits on and walked down to the lake to go swimming for a bit, it was raining out, so we figured why not go swimming? We would get wet either way, so it didn't really matter. I couldn't help but wonder what the guitar and picnic blanket is for, considering the fact that we ate by the campfire and not at the picnic blanket. Anyway, didn't matter right now. The water was a nice temperature and not cold at all, so that's nice.

"Come on, get in." Niall said, trying to convince me to get in

"Ok ok ok ok, I'm coming." I said as I slowly walked into the water. Niall grabbed my hand and walked me deeper into the water. We played around for a bit and splashed each other. He ended up chasing me around the lake because he was about to kiss me, but I felt like being a tease, and I turned around and swam away right before our lips touched. That made him pretty mad, so he ended up chasing me until he got that kiss. I was running out of breathe, but I wasn't one to give up, so I kept swimming, but my pace was slowing down. I felt two strong arms wrap around my upper body.

"Gotcha." He said. "You thought you would get away." You could hear the lust in his voice. He turned me around, not losing the grip he had on my waist. He pulled me closer to him, not letting me escape this time. There was no space between us and there surely was no way I could escape this time. He slowly leaned in, closing the gap between us. He kissed me hard, harder than he ever has before. We kept kissing, when all of a sudden I felt him lick my bottom lip, asking for an entrance. I slightly parted my lips and he slipped his tongue inside my mouth. I deepened the kiss a bit, but not too much. I heard him moan a bit and I smiled into the kiss, knowing that I had this effect on him. We both pulled out of the kiss, unable to breathe anymore. We just sat there in each others arms, panting until we could catch our breath.

"Come on, I have something for you. Lets get dried off and changed so I can give it to you."

"Ok." I said, still panting a bit

We walked out of the lake, our hands entwined. We walked over to the tent, Niall let me in and stood outside while he waited for me to get changed, I did the same when it was his turn. He walked me over to a picnic bench that was on the campsite.

"Stay here, I'll be right back." He said as he walked back over to the tent. He came out with a small box in his hand. He walked back over to me and sat me on his lap. He put his hands in front of me and opened the box, revealing a Claddagh Ring with a pink stone in the middle. He has one on his finger too, just without the pink stone of course.

"This is a-"Niall started, not expecting me to know what it was

"Claddagh Ring! I've always wanted one!" I said, a shocked expression on his face

"I didn't expect you to know what it was, but I'm not surprised, you're a smart girl. You know what it symbolizes?"

"Yea, the hands symbolize friendship. The crown symbolizes loyalty.  And the heart symbolizes love. Wearing it on my finger symbolizes that my heart's been taken."

"That is correct. I have one too, to show that my heart's been taken. As long as we are wearing these rings, we are together, as long as we are wearing these rings, we love each other. I know that for me, I will never take this ring off. I love you my Adds, I will always love you, to the day I die and beyond."

"I love you too Niall." I said with tears in my eyes. Niall slipped the ring on my finger and we shared a kiss, not as hard as before, but also not too soft, it was the perfect kiss, full of passion, dedication, commitment, and love.

At this point it was 5 PM, so we decided to eat some dinner. After dinner, which of course, was spaghetti, we turned in for the night. We were both pretty exhausted from the long day we had and it was getting cold out, so we decided to retreat to the warmth of each others arms and go to sleep for the night.
