One Way Or Another (Sequel to She's Not Afraid)

April 21, 2015

Maggie: Niall's hands covered my eyes. "Step," he told me. I did so. "Step," he told me again. I did so again.

"Niall," I said, "Where am I going?"

"I'm not telling," he said, "Now step again."

I stepped, "When will you tell me where I'm going."

"Soon," Niall said, "Be patient."

"Please," I whined.

"Maggie, if I wanted you to know where you were going would I have my hands over your eyes?" Niall asked. I laughed. He told me to take one more step. I did so. "And open," Niall said. I opened my eyes. A sky blue Volkwagon Bug sat in front of me.

"Oh. My. Gosh!" I shreiked, "You got me the one I wanted!"

"Well, I figured since you moved here you need a way to get around," he said. And by here he meant Mullinger Ireland. I had moved there over Christmas and now Niall and I shared an apartment. I had been complaining about the fact I had no mode of transportation for the entire four months. Now I had something. And by something I meant my all time favorite car.

"This is amazing!" I said, kissing Niall's lips. When I pulled away for a brief moment I whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," he said, just before I kissed him again. When we pulled away, Niall out up a finger before I could kiss him again. "Now I shall reveal our dinning for the night," he said. We moved around to behind the car, where there was a ginham cloth and a traditional wicker basket set out, along with set of two candles lighting the night.

"Wow," I said, "Nice."

"Do you like it?" he asked. I kissed him. "I'll take that as a yes," he said. I laughed. I sat down.

"All I have to say is that I truely hope you didn't overpay for the venue," I laughed. Niall laughed, shrugging.

"You're right. I didn't put in too much money for the venue," I asked. Niall shrugged

"You act like you think I care about prices for you," he said, popping a chip into his mouth.

"Well, I guess," I said, "You never really have."

"No," Niall said, smirking, "So what's up."

"Not much. Trying to decide where my career is going next. There's a movie Laurie fond that's going to be filmed in Rio. It's an action one about a girl who is kind of a modern day pirate," I said.

"So she copies movies? Kinda seems like a dull plot," Niall said. I laughed.

"No. More like steeling from cruise ships, shooting up people on a beach," I said. Niall nodded. "Or, there's a movie in London. But it's a romance."

"London?" Niall asked, getting excited, "So you'd be working, like, in my backyard again?"

"Yep," I said, popping an M&M in my mouth.

"I think I like that one," Niall said.

"Even if it means I'll be kissing guys who aren't you?" I asked.

"I know it's just an act. I mean, for gosh sakes, you had some wierd love affair with houses when I first met you," Niall said. I laughed.

"Okay. I'll audition for that one," I said. Niall smiled and nodded. I moved over so I was next to him, before turning his head and kissing his lips.

"Happy birthday, Mags," he said. He pulled a small cake out of the picnic basket. In blue icing, it read To My Special Snowflake. I smiled, kissing him.

"Thank you," I said.
