Chapter 16: Over Jealous

"Want to pick up some coffee on the way?" Niall asked, as they left Angelina's house, making some excuse to stop her mother's rambling.

"Sure!" Angelina replied.

Niall opened the door to the car for her.

"Thanks." She mumbled and got in.

The ride felt silent until Angelina switched on the radio.

"Oh look! It's Shawn Mendes!" She said, excited, as Mercy played.

Niall smiled at the mention of his name and nodded.

"His songs are really nice, actually." She continued.

Niall nodded once again.
It was true.

Shawn was a great guy.

He had said it himself.
For an 18 year old, he was very mature.

"He's kinda cute." She said, grinning, purposely testing Niall's patience.

He raised his eyebrows at that.
"Oh really?"

"Yes really." Angelina said, still grinning.

Niall took a deep breath.
"Alright then." He said, controlling himself.

Now it was her turn to raise her eyebrows.

Angelina seemed confused as Niall stopped the car at the side of the road.

She looked at him, waiting for a valid explanation.

"Well then, tell me if you still feel that way after this." He said, simply.

Before connecting his lips to hers.

And all the same emotions swirled inside her, inside him.

If not, the feelings doubled.

Her eyes automatically shut as the same happened to him.

All the butterflies came alive in the pit of her stomach as she eagerly kissed back.

Twice in one day.

Her hands, once again, tugged at his hair as his' rested behind her head.

He was again, the first one to pull away.

Niall rested his forehead on hers.
"So?" He asked, grinning with satisfaction.

Angelina definitely could not ignore the rapid beating of her heart.

But she still decided to play it teasing.

"So what?" She asked, grinning, biting her bottom lip.

Niall gave her a knowing look with his eyes.

"Alright, alright. I'd say, Shawn Mendes is still cute." She replied, her grin widening as she saw his cute features fall and settle into a short frown.

"Just kidding. I mean, he is cute. But you..." She trailed off.

She looked into his eyes, searching for some emotion as she then, silently looked at his face and all his imperfections falling into place like he was an angel.
