1 Wish At A Time

Chapter 16:; Girl's night out with a hint of spies

Recap~

" What? " I say looking up with a mouth full of food. Aren't I such a lady?

" Nothing. " he says shacking his head and laughing.

" I'll let this one slide only because this peice is calling out 'Ash Ash eat me eat me. "

|Chapter 16|

Magical. There's no other word that can describe last night -well there are, but lets pretend there aren't-.

Now you probably wondering what I did last night except for hanging out with 1/5 of one direction. Better listen up!

-----------

" How much food can you fit in your belly? " I stare at Niall who has mostly
eaten half of the picnic while I'm there nibbling on the rest.

" A lot! " Niall responds leaning back and patting his stomach. He is one special boy- excuse me, 'man'-

Unexpectedly he leans over and grabs my waist enveloping me in a tight hug. Can he get any sweeter? " What has to be your favorite part about being in England? "

Tell him Ash, tell him it's him. Tell him you like him! But what happens if he doesn't like me that way? Have you seen the way he looks at you, your practically made for each other. Your assumptions are not always the next Albert Einstein.

Would you shut up mind. Thank you!
" Ash, " Niall questions waving a hand in front of my face.

" W-what? " Hazily I turn around and let me tell you it's not that way considering I was sitting in his lap. Let just say I might've kneed him in the place where the sun don't shine.

I mentally face palm myself. And quickly roll off him. I can just picture it already on the headline Mystery Girl Harming Irish Cutie, Niall Horan 1/5 of 1D 'hanging' out with mystery girl.

" I am so sorry. I didn't mean to you know knee you there. " Cue the blush. Looking down and fiddling with my fingers I wait for his response.

Silence.

Is that good or bad? " Hey it's okay " he responds placing a finger under my chin and lifting my chin up. I look straight into his ocean-blue eyes. How can somebody's eyes be so blue, they don't need to mock people without blue eyes. I mean not many people have blue eyes, but the people who do are almost special almost.

What do I do he's leaning in, should I lean in too? This was not in a relationship book Brooke's dad reads. Calm down Ash, don't panic don't panic. HE'S CLOSING HIS EYES AND GETTING CLOSER! This is out in public, I mean as much as I want to kiss those soft, delicate pink lips I would rather have my first kiss - yes I said first kiss. I haven't been kissed beside by my parents and occasional my brother in a brotherly/sisters manner- not in public. Somewhere outside a restraunt in the rain as much as cliche it sounds I would love that.

The chorus of 'New at this' by Megan and Liz starts blasting in my butt pocket. Ha! My butt is singing! in a matter of seconds Niall immediately pulls back flushing bright red and awkwardly scratching the back of his neck. I pull out my phone checking the name before clicking answer.

" Hello. "

" Ash, is that you? " Who is this, how'd they get my number?

" Yes, this is she. Who is calling? "

" Vanessa from the department store. " Oh I remember her!

" Right! " thankfully it's not a stranger who randomly got my number. " What cha doin? "

" Nothing. Just calling to see if you and Brooke wanted to go shopping sometime today? "

" Ya sure that sounds fun! Meet you there around 12? "

" Great. See you there. "

With that that I hang up the phone am shove it back in my pocket. - cough - I look over and see Niall standing there hands in his pocket. Pop Rocks!

I try not to show the guilt on my face as I walk over to him, " I am so sorry Vanessa called and asked if Brooke and I could go to the mall with her and I said yes around 12. But am here with you and I don't want to ruin that. "

Smoothly he places his hand over my mouth stopping my rant. " Its okay. I understand, ''

" But- but, " Why can't I have a clone, wait never mind I never want a clone considering what horrible things they could do. " No buts you have fun. I already have something planned for tomorrow. Don't worry about it. "

Aww I swear he is the sweetest person on earth. " Before I leave I kinda forget to ask her how to get to the mall, "

Chuckle away, " Straight and then take a right from the hotel. "

---------------------------------------------------

How do people rob banks and then not feel guiltily about it. I would be turning myself in by this point in time. Am still feeling guilty about leaving Niall, he set the picnic up and was about to kiss me but you know my phone ringed answering my prayers and ya. Sometimes I need a relaxed day without stress or guilt a day where I have me, myself, and I.

" How about this store? " Vanessa asks more like commands pulling us inside. Violent lady!

" Ugh we've been here for almost 2 hours already, can we go back to the hotel yet? " looking at the way Brooke looks she could drop dead any minute. I wouldn't blame her, both of us aren't shopoholics.

There goes the eye roll, " We'll be done any minute. This is the last store. "

Vanessa:; She's nice, demanding, tough shelled, extra protective. First glance at her could be intimidating, but once you get to know her it's like you knew her your whole life.

" Fine! " Practically having to drag Brooke around the store.

*******

" Done! " Vanessa exclaims placing her bags on the floor and clapping her hands together.

" Can we eat now, my stomach is growling up a storm. " I say getting up and heading towards subway.

" Yes please! "

I love subway wait love would be an understatement I adore subway. Brooke got a cheeseburger from MacDonald's and Vanessa got chicken from Boston Market.

" Hey. Guys is it just me or can plants get up and move around. " I ask pointing behind me to where 3 plants stand.

" Plants can't wal- did you see that?" Brooke asks pointing widely in the direction of the plants.

The sound of a chair scraping turns me around viewing Vanessa getting up and walking towards the plants. "What are you doing you could get killed. " I whisper/shout earning a mouthful of storage looks from the other people of the food court.

" I mean you could get killed if you don't watch where you going. The plants look pointy. " I turn around slowly in my chair sliding down. Embarrassment, I hate it especially in a mall.

Vanessa come back tugging on some guys ears while two other guys following.

" Ash, Brooke meet Jason my brother and his friends who are spieing on us!"
