The feeling sank in-she liked him. Now, more than ever. She knew his reputation. She knew that she too could be one of the girls whose heart Niall breaks, but she didn't care. It didn't matter to her. She wanted to live in the here and now. Not think about the future and if their relationship would last. She just wanted to be with him. Hold him. Touch him. Kiss him. Love him. The rest didn't matter to her.

She snuggled up in bed, Tomorrow was going to be a long and tiring day for her. Part of her wanted to be with Niall. In his arms and him to never let go. But the more she thought about it, the more her body caved in. Even the thought of him turned her on. She lay in bed, thinking about their little "outing". How his lips had found hers, hungry and wanting. How his hands had caressed her body, making her want-need-more. Every inch of her body, every nerve, every being in her shouted "Niall", but she couldn't cave in to the feeling. It would just make her weaker.

Her fingers lingered on her lips and how they'd felt after Niall had kissed them. They were swollen and red, and satisfying-for Niall. It was like he'd marked her. It'd taken hours for the swelling to come back to normal. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and somehow it was reaching in her throat, threatening to choke her. She got out of bed and poured herself a glass of water, drinking it slowly so as to not choke on the water itself.

She lays down on the bed, willing herself to go to sleep without thinking about Niall and the kiss. Sleep invades her senses and somehow, she manages to fall asleep. When she wakes up the next morning, the sun is shining through the windows and the room is suddenly warm. Sitting up in bed, she notices that Sarah's not there. And for some odd reason, she's glad that she isn't, otherwise she would've pounded on her. She manages to get a hold of herself and quickly has a shower before changing into a pair of jeans and a check shirt. Making her hair into a messy bun, she wears her all-time-favourite shoes, converse and leaves the room. Not locking it behind her.



She sits in the coffee shop with Niall, slowly sipping her cup of coffee. His gaze never once leaving her, makes her shift in her chair.

"So, what are we doing today?" Ashley asks, after taking a sip of her coffee.

"I wanted to show you something really amazing. It's off campus and like really far away. So, we'll reach there around six if we move out now." he says and as a reflex Ashley checks her watch. 1 o'clock.

"Let's go then." she says and gets up, paying for the two of them.

"Are you serious?" Niall asks, still sitting.

"Yes. I've got a load of work to do and tomorrow is one day i can complete it, if we move out now." Ashley says and takes Niall's hand in hers.

Fishing for his keys in his pocket, Niall turns on the ignition and starts the car, pulling out onto the road into the afternoon traffic.



Pulling up in front of a boulder, Niall shuts off the ignition. Slightly shaking her, Niall wakes Ashley and she groans in dismissal, not wanting to wake up.

"Ash." he whispers in her ear and Ashley pops one eye open and then the other. "We've reached."

"Oh." she manages to say and opens her side of the door, before stumbling outside.

"Hey. Are you okay?" Niall asked, coming over to help Ashley.

"What time is it?" Ashley asked, trying to sound casual.

"A really good time." Niall said.

"Not funny. Really, what is the time?" she asked.

"It's around 6:15 pm." Niall said. "Just wait for it. Around 6:30 pm it always shows." he says, trying not to sound excited.

Her heart thumping in her chest, Ashley pushed Niall softly to go and sit down on the grass. Niall too went and sat down next to her, holding her close. Ashley loved this feeling, even though it would last for only a few minutes, hours or even weeks. She wanted to relish this moment and moments like these to come. She turned to face Niall and rested her forehead against his, his breath hot against her lips.

She pressed her lips against his, feeling the passion that came alive inside her. Her veins were on fire whenever she was with him. Her senses came alive, her thoughts shattered and yet, she felt safe with him. He pulled her closer, and turned her round as she slowly laid down on the grass.

She knew where this was going to lead-sex. But she wasn't going to do it somewhere like this place.

"Niall." she breathed, pulling apart.

"Yes?" he said, his eyes still closed as his lips went lower, kissing her neck.

"That's beautiful." she said, her eyes looking up at the sky.

It was amazing. Fireflies. They were everywhere. Flying so close that she could touch one but didn't. It was...breath-takingly beautiful. They were making these forms, figures and it was so amazing. She was speechless.

"I love it!" she exclaimed and kissed him once more. This time the kiss was more passionate, wanting, claiming.

"Really?!" Niall asked, unsure.

"Yes. I...I'm speechless. It's the most beautiful thing i've ever seen." she says, holding him close.

Feelings were stronger now than ever for Ashley. She really liked him.

What the hell have i gotten myself into?!

She thought as they drove back to campus.
