-Tigerlily’s POV-
We rounded the corner and all I could think about was ‘Where was he taking me?’ “Nialler?”
“Yes?”
“Where are you taking me?”
“And why would I you that? It’s a surprise, remember?”
“Yes, I am fully aware of that, but I lived in Portland for the majority of my life and I could tell you if we’re going the right way or no, so we wouldn’t get lost and have to use your phone to get us to where we need to be.” He stopped walking and turned towards me.
“Fine, I was planning on taking you downtown, are we going the right way?”
“No, actually, we’re not. We need to be heading that way.” I said as I pointed behind us.
“Just so we don’t have to pass the paps again, let’s make kind of a circle to get us headed in the right direction.”
“Okay,” I smiled at him before we resumed walking. His arm snaked around my back showing that I was his. About fifteen minutes later, we were going in the right direction to go into downtown. Man, I wish he would tell me where were going, I not a very waitful person. About two minutes more of silence I decided to break it, I loved the fact that his arm was still around my waist, but I just couldn’t take the silence. “Nialler, can we please talk about something, anything, just no silence, when I’m not talking with someone, my mind tends to trail off into diffenerent thoughts that lead to anxiety attacks and over thinking things.
“Of course, um… where’s your favorite place to go when you’re not busy with school?”
“I like to go to the mall, OMSI, Movie Theater, frozen yogurt, and food.” I laughed at the last part.
“Nice, I especially like the food part. What kind of movies do you like?”
“Comedy, chick-flick, some action, and older films like Annie, sy-fy, funny scary movies, and my favorite movies ever are definitely your guy’s tour movies.”
“Wow. I think that I can work with that.”
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing, don’t worry about it.”
Okay then, I brushed that off, he must be planning something. He’s got to be, but what?
“Okay…” I trailed off.
“You’re trying to figure out what I have planned, aren’t you?”
“Maybe…”
“Do you want a hint?”
“Mmmm… Yes.” I said bluntly.
“Erhm, okay, you will definitely like what we will be doing.” He laughed. God, I loved his laugh, it was so adorable; he was so adorable.
“Good enough for me.” I giggled as he smiled at me, ugh, why can’t he just be mine? I realize he wants me to be his princess, but we would be judged, and it might just ruin his career. And I really don’t want to cause all of that to happen. “Are you sure I’m you princess?”
“I absolutely positive that you are. Why?”
“Because I was just thinking about last night and everything that had happened, taking it all in.”
“What about last night caused you to ask?”
“Mainly the part where I stopped us from waking out into the hall with our hands interlocked. For as long as I can remember, all I have ever wanted was the perfect guy for me, someone I could call mine. When all of my friends had boyfriends, I was the only one who didn’t; there was a friend of mine who had a crush on me but I wanted to stay friends so it didn’t work out very well. When you said that I was your princess, it was like I was dreaming, I couldn’t believe it, a guy that I have beyond liked for years now actually likes me. But then I realized that if we we’re to even be seen together, like in the article I showed you, the people will take it wrong. It will ruin your publicity and fame, it will ruin your reputation for being a great dude, who doesn’t sleep around, which is what they think that we’re are.”
“Babe, from the moment I saw you, I knew it. I knew that you were my princess. Don’t worry about what other people think about us. Right now, can we just focus on our date right now, nothing else? Just you, me, and our date. That’s all you need to worry about right now, okay?” He said smiling a little.
I nodded smiling like an idiot, probably blushing too.
After about twenty minutes of talking and wandering around downtown Portland, we entered a little sushi place to get some lunch, he was so sweet for doing his, and for actually listen me when I rambled on last night. Then again, he was probably asking me all of those questions to figure out what we were going to do today
A server greeted us at the door and motioned us to follow him; he motioned us to sit in front of the chef at the bar. “Can I get you two anything to drink?”
“I will just take a water.” I have been drinking more water ever since freshman year, I used to drink soda a lot but now I mainly only drink water; I will drink a soda on occasion, but it is very rare that you will see me drinking a soda.
“Erhm, I will have the same.” Niall said with some hesitation in his voice.
“You don’t sound so sure,” I questioned him.
“No, I’m sure; I really should be drinking and eating healthier.”
“Good for you, but you don’t have to do that just because of me.”
“I’m not, you just helped me realize that I should be healthier, even though I’m not gaining any weight from it, although I do work out, basically everyday because in concert I’m running around and doing jumps, and if I’m not doing a gig, I’m still being somewhat active.”
“Well don’t be getting to cocky with it because it will eventually catch up with you.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t.”
After awhile more of talking, we ordered some sushi, actually more like a lot of sushi. We were only there for about an hour until Niall dragged me out of there after paying the bill. We walked off some of the calories that he had just put on until we strolled into a YoCream. We piled on the delicious frozen yogurt after trying about for different kinds, letting the other try theirs, while Niall was trying not to overflow the bowl with toppings while I was just putting a few pieces of fruit on mine. I had never seen frozen yogurt cost that much.
We left the YoCream twenty minutes later and hopped on the MAX, rode to the mall and got off. We strolled around the mall for a while, stopping in stores, trying stuff on, acting like idiots, taking goofy pictures of each other, Niall insisting on buying me things that I didn’t need, I actually didn’t mind that much but I hated that he was wasting money on me. We sat down by the fountain and loaded off, both of us carrying at least five bags. “Niall, why do you insist on wasting so much money on me?”
“I am not wasting money on you; I want to have these things”
“And where in hell am I going to put all of this?”
“At the hotel room, where else?”
“Niall, how long are you assuming I’m staying with you guys?”
“Well, I don’t know, I just know that it can’t just be for the rest of today before you have to leave.”
“Niall, don’t get me wrong, I would love to just ditch my life and spend he rest of it with you guys but I just can’t.”
“I know…” he looked very saddened by my honesty, like he knew it was the truth, he just didn’t really believe it until I had said it. It had to of been breaking his heart. “I just don’t want you to go…”
“I don’t want to go either but I have to, school starts soon. I not saying that we can’t date, I’m just saying that… erhm… I know what I’m trying to say, I just can’t verbally say it.”
“I think I know what you’re trying to say; you really want us to still be able to date but with school and gigs it is just going to be really hard?”
I nodded.
“Well, I absolutely know that we can make it work. But right now, all I want to worry about is our amazing date.”
“Deal, but did you say amazayn?”
“Maybe…” he admitted giving me a sweet peck on the lips. He quickly jumped up, looking at me like I was supposed to follow his actions.
“The date isn’t over yet, is it?” I asked laughing.
“Of course not!”
I got up from my spot, grabbing the bags that I had set down just a little bit ago. He started walking; I followed him, catching up. In one motion he swiftly intertwined our fingers, I was startled by his action, I didn’t expect this to happen here or now. I didn’t release his hand, in fact I actually squeezed his hand a little to show him that I didn’t mind this at all. He gave my hand a quick squeeze back causing me to blush. We walked to where the movie theatre was in the mall and Niall stopped. I turned towards him and tilted my head in confusion.
“What do you want to see, babe?”
“I, um, don’t know.”
“What about that one?” he asked as he pointed to a movie on the board.
“Sure, why not?”
We got our tickets and snacks and went and found seats in the theatre. If you asked me to tell you about the movie, I wouldn’t be able to tell you much about it since I wasn’t really paying much attention to it. I was mainly thinking about Ni, and I guess that I would stare at him everyone in a while, I am only aware of this because I would snap of my spacing when Niall would look at me and blush. Throughout the entire movie we were holding hands. After the movie we headed back to the hotel room.


Best. Date. EVER.
