DANIELLE'S POV

Oh my god. Today's the day. I'm going on a date with Liam Freaking Hot Payne! Somebody hold me.

Okay. So I'm currently standing in front of my mirror, straightening my crazy curly hair, which I've been doing for the past freaking two and a half hours.

"Do you really think you need to iron your hair Dani? It's taking too long!" Eleanor asked from my bed. Yep, it's the Eleanor that Louis thought he had a crush on. The new sassy girl. Turns out, she's a really nice gal who's really into fashion like me and she loves Starbucks too! So one thing lead to another and now we're pretty good friends! Yay!

Now after spending two more hours over my makeup and outfit and I was finally ready.

"Thanks for the help El. You made me look really good if I do say so," I commented, posing in front of my mirror.

"Oh pssh! It's all you, you gorgeous woman," she grinned. I smiled back.

I placed my phone in my purse and slung it over my shoulders. "OH SHIT! It's seven! Go Dani! Go go go!" Eleanor shoved me outside.

"Whoa, alright, okay!" Checking my hair one last time in the mirror, I threw Eleanor and then my Mum a goodbye a waited at the front door.

And true to his word, Liam pulled up in front of my house at 7.03.

"You're late," I teased, getting into his silver Audi.

"Only three minutes late!" he protested and I laughed and flicked his nose.

"So, you're still not going to tell me where we're going?"

"Nope," Liam smirked and started the car.

"Ooh, I love surprises!" I stated sarcastically.

"Then you're gonna love this date."

"Hmm." I pouted and leaned back in my seat.

"By the way, you look adorable today," he smiled. I smiled back and blushed.

"Thanks."

"Oh my god it's gorgeous!" I gushed, hand over my mouth. The place Liam had brought us for our first date, it was... wow.

It was a boat house slash restaurant with an amazing view of the lake. The restaurant was newly opened, and there weren't many people around. Liam talked to the maître de and he led us to a table that was set up in a gazebo, overlooking the shimmering lake. There were fairy lights hung up almost everywhere, making the place more romantic.

"It's a family friend's place so we got in without a reservation. So, is it okay?" Liam asked, almost nervously when we were seated.

"Okay? It's so... so beautiful! It's... god it's just wow. Thanks for bringing me here Liam," I smiled at him honestly. He smiled back cutely and held my hand across the table. "That's good."

After we ordered our food, we talked and teased and flirted for a while. Then after we were finished with our dinner, Liam announced, "I've got another thing planned for tonight."

I looked at him with a questioning look. He just got out of his chair and held out his hand. Then gesturing to some employee, he steered me to the boat docks. The guy was already there, ready to untie the boat from the dock. We got in and rowed for a while.
