Amanda’s POV:
The lake was so pretty!
It was unlike any park I’ve seen.
Sean parked the car and we got out.
There was one or two families playing and eating out there.
Niall led us out to a special place he knew.
He looked extra cute today with his baggy shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of tennis shoes.
That boy could look good in everything.
What was I thinking?
I barely knew him.
Pretty soon we got to the spot and there was a picnic table there.
It looked like it had come out of a movie.
The sparkling lake in front of us, the smell of wood and trees everywhere.
I wasn’t used to it, thinking about the crowded streets of California.
I was used to salt water and palm trees.
Then Sean flinged a picnic basket up on the table.
I never noticed he was carrying it.
“Aw boys you didn’t have to do all of this!” Isabelle said as they were setting up the table.
“It was Niall’s idea. Of course, I cooked the food, because Niall can’t cook to save his life! He can only eat!” Sean said jokingly.
“Heeeyyyy now!” Niall said and punched his arm.
They started chasing each other around trying to hit each other.
Boys!
Then Sean pushed Niall and he came tumbling down on me.
We both fell to the ground where he was on top of me.
He put his arms on the ground on both sides of me and I could see his muscles flex.
I could hear him panting and I could feel his body moving up and down slightly.
“I kinda like this position” he whispered and I could smell his breath.
It smelled like mint.
He was that close to me.
As soon as he said that, he winked , and I didn’t want to stop looking in his brilliant blue eyes.
They made me melt.
I could smell him.
He smelled like fresh cotton cloth when washed and dried.
It was intoxicating me.
But quickly I thought of a comeback, and said, “I don’t think you’ll get to be in this position often” and chuckled and pushed him upward.
Under my hands, I could feel his abs.
He got up and reached for my hand to help me up.
I took it, and realized how strong he was under the little skinny body.
“Hey Amanda, I wanted to show you this little place I know” , Niall whispered in my ear leaving my skin tingling from it.
“Okay, lets go. Should I grab Belle?” I asked.
“Nah, I think you would enjoy it more”, He whispered again.
“Oh okay….” I said.
Maybe he would try to make a move on me.
No, what was I thinking?
Niall wouldn’t like me.
Why would the cute, Irish boy like an ordinary girl from California?
“We’ll be right back!” Niall shouted to Sean and Belle.
“Oooh, I wonder where they’re going?” Belle said and snickered.
“Oh shut up Isabelle!” I said.
“Best friends can be so annoying” I heard Niall say as we were walking through the woods.
“Tell me about it!”, I said.
It wasn’t awkward at all, as we walked through the woods.
We kept a light conversation.
Pretty soon we got there.
It was a clearing in the woods where there were 3 log stumps.
It was arranged like a table and two chairs.
“Niall this is beautiful… I feel like that’s all I’ve been saying since I got here.” I said.
“That’s all I’ve been thinking about you, since I saw you” he stuttered.
I could feel my cheeks getting red.
“Um, thanks…” I said softly.
“Well m’lady would you like to sit down?” he said in beautiful voice.
“Sure” , I said and giggled.
He had a wide grin plastered on his face as he picked me up.
“Ahhhh, Niall put me down!” I screamed.
“Whatever you say, your highness” he said as he sat me down on a log.
I loved his cheekiness and the way he treated me like a princess.
“you know I can walk!” I said loudly.
Niall grinned and said, “I know, I wanted you to feel special.”
I blushed again.
How many times in one day can I blush?
“So why are we here?” I asked in a curious tone, breaking the awkwardness.
“I wanted to spend a little time with you and get to know you” he mumbled and was red as a tomato once again.
He was very straightforward sometimes.
I blushed, AGAIN.
His comment sent shivers down my spine.
“Well do you want to play 21 Questions, love?”, he asked.
“What are you waiting for? Shoot!” I said.
Whenever he called me “love”, it always put me in a good mood, but that was common here I guess.
“Okay. Where are you from?”, Niall asked.
“Sacramento, California.” I replied
“Awesome! What are your hobbies?” he asked
“Dancing, reading, and painting.” I replied once again.
“That’s great! What do your parents do?” he asked
“My mom is a renowned fashion designer and my dad works at Apple” I said
“Very interesting. Do you have siblings?” He asked properly.
“Nah I’m an only child.” I said.
“Are you good in your studies?” he asked
I laughed at how they said school here and said, “Yep, I make all A’s every year.”
“Wow you lucky little girl!” he said.
“I’m not a little girl” I said and fake pouted.
“Whatever you say princess, so do you have a boyfriend?”
“Nope”, I said popping the “p”.
I literally saw his eyes light up.
Maybe he liked me…
Nahh, Niall’s too perfect for me.
Niall’s POV:
She doesn’t have a boyfriend!
I don’t know how she doesn’t, she’s amazing!
Maybe I have a chance!
“Okay, enough about me” she said after I asked her more questions.
“Its my turn to ask!” she exclaimed happily.
I loved seeing her smile and be happy.
I wanted to be the reason for her smile.
I would treat her as a princess always.
I would never do anything to hurt her.
All I want is to have her.
I realized how cheesy and sappy that was, but it was the truth.
I realized I had zoned out and I heard her calling my name.
“I love how you say my name” I thought out loud.
“What?” she said and blushed.
“Fuck, did I say that out loud?!” I said
She giggled.
“Sorry for the profanity, I’m an Irishman ya’know?” I said.
“It’s aiight! She said. “I’ve heard worse.”
All of a sudden, I heard an all too familiar laugh.
“Sean you shouldn’t spy on people! I thought your mum taught you better” I said in an annoyed tone.
I could tell Amanda was taken aback a little.
“You can come out now” I said.
Sean and Isabelle stepped out holding hands.
