Chapter 5:

-          Niall’s POV -

Day 61:

Liam and I had been walking through the forest hand in hand for about five minutes before Liam suddenly stopped; causing his hand to tug at mine and pull me back. I turned to face him and gave him a confused look.

“What’s up?” I asked; giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. Liam flashed me a small smile but didn’t squeeze back. I frowned.

“I was just thinking...” Liam murmured. “I have no idea what to do on a first date with you...”

 

...what..?

“What do you mean?” I asked nervously; loosening my grip on his hand. Liam’s eyes widened and he squeezed my hand tightly in his.

“Ah, n-no I mean I already know everything about you.” Liam corrected all panicky. “I-It’s not like a normal first date where I can ask you what your favourite colour is or anything...”

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

“It’s just...”

I felt the nerves wash away and I took a step closer to him.

“Just what?” I murmured. Liam blushed and directed his gaze to his feet.

Cute little shi-

“Ah... d-don’t worry about it...” He mumbled. I pouted.

“No, come on... tell me.” I soothed; taking a step closer and dipping my head down so that I could look up at his face. Liam shook his head.

“No... it’s embarrassing.” He defended. I fought back a smile at how cute he was being.

“Liiii, tell meee.” I teased. I was edging closer. Liam was breaking. He bit his lip and turned his head away from me.

“...it’s stupid.” He murmured.

“Liam.” I said sternly. He broke.

“...I’m scared that this won’t seem like a date at all to you...” Liam murmured. He turned to set his big brown puppy-dog eyes on me and I snapped. I stepped forward and cupped his cheek with my hand and pressed my lips hard up against his. He didn’t react for a moment, but when I nudged my lips against his he closed his eyes and kissed me back. I smiled into against his lips and ran my hand through his hair as I pulled him closer. He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me against him. Our hands were still holding each other’s tight. Eventually I pulled back and Liam groaned. I chuckled.

“As long as I can do that whenever I want to, I don’t care about anything else.” I murmured. Liam blushed and bit his lip again.

“...God you make me nervous.” He mumbled; leaning forward to rest his forehead against my shoulder. He squeezed me tight and I nuzzled my face into his hair and let go of his hand to wrap my arms around his neck. His other arm slid around my waist too to hug me back. I breathed him in.

“Right back at you...” I mumbled.
