Slowly, niall came closer. I didnt hesitate this time, and I went towards him while our eyes never left each other's stare.
He stood close to me this time, still with a decent distance as he was scared of coming close.
He gave me his hand, I looked at him and without any thinking, I put mine over his hand. He smiled a bit seeing me acknowledging his actions. I smiled back.
"Come with me." He said and I nodded following him.
While we walked all I could see was his face, his eyes, his perfectly styled hair, his fitted tuxedo, his plump magenta lips. He is just too perfect for a person like me.
Not that we are anything.
Slowly, we walked over the glass slide that lead to the backyard. He opened the slide door and we went into the backyard.
When I finally broke my gaze from his face to look at the backyard, and what's so special about it, I was left agaped.
The whole backyard was fully decorated with fairy lights. Of blue color, of pink, of neon greens, almost all colors. Not a single spot left. The ribbons around the small bushes and trees.
There was a table with two chairs. A bunch of rose, a nice silver tablecloth, that was a nice contrast to the matte black chairs. There were rows of candles making way to the table.
It was stunning. It was perfect.
"Surprise." He said slowly smiling at me. I nodded and looked back and got lost into the view again.
"May I?" I broke my gaze from the view before my eyes this time, and looked at niall. He had a small smile playing on his face.
I blushed and put my hand on his.
He made us walk through the candle isle to the table. He pulled out the chair for me and checked if I'm comfortable or not. Then he walked to the other side of the table, his gaze not leaving mine once, and sat himself.
He reached out for my hand and Oh boy, how are hands perfectly got moulded into each other's. I blushed at this thought.
"You look more beautiful when you blush." He complimented while smiling fondly at me. And that, sure did made my cheeks turn into a darker shade of red.
"Thank you so much for this. I dont even deserve this, to be honest." I said truly what I felt about this.
"What, no way. You deserve everything in this world, love." He said negotiating with me.
"No- after all that I said to you, how I made you feel, I just.. dont." And suddenly to ruin this perfect moment, my tears started coming up.
".. and now I'm ruining this moment too." I said trying my best to gulp down the lump in the back of my throat.
"Elliot, please, dont say that. It's me who never deserved you. I have been so horrible to you. And what you did? You had shown me my reality. How rude I have been to others over the years. I am just thankful to you for changing me. I want to change for you. I want to prove we are best together. I dont want to treat others badly now anymore. I just want to be with you. Because I swear to god, Ms Elliot Rose Styles, I've never been so sure about a girl like the way i am about you." He ended his words, and i could see the pain behind his words. The way he tried to hide his guilt and desperation, but it was quite clear.
"Thank you niall. I'm so grateful to you too."
Suddenly a soft piano tune started in the background. My face might have lit up thousands times.
"May I have this dance, m'lady?" He asked standing up and giving me his hand.
We slowly moved to the tune, looking into each other's eyes. It was mesmerizing.
"Elliot?"
"Yes?"
"If I ask you for a chance to prove how much I really love you, will you give me one?" I was dazed.
"Love?"
He moved and got one his one knee.
"Will you be mine for the rest of our lives?"
