Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon

Sunday. Sunday was always the best. Sundays were made for beaches, golf, beer and mountains of unhealthy food. A day to relax completely before going back to "the daily grind". Sunday was a day to recover from your release after the stress of the week. But this Sunday happened to be one of the better ones. The sun was out. It was warm, well, warm for Ireland. The clouds weren't those that brought the continuous rain. Sundays were always the best, especially the ones where you had no idea what the day was going to bring.
"Oh shut up!" Niall laughed as he tried to concentrate. He was trying to line up his shot on the green. Behind him he could still hear his friend acting like idiot. Niall groaned and turned to Harry. "Shut the fuck up, would ya?" Niall laughed as he glared at him. Harry pursed his lips and promised to be quiet. Niall thanked him and re-positioned himself to strike the ball. Just as Niall swung, Harry went back to making a ruckus. Niall's ball went in the opposite direction than he wanted. Niall threw his club on the ground and walked over to Harry. Niall hit Harry in the arm.
Harry whimpered, "Ow!" Niall growled lowly. "Go get your ball." Harry laughed pointing to the trees off to the side. Niall glared at Harry before hitting him again. Harry just laughed as Niall stomped away.
Niall grumbled the entire walk to the tree line. He shook his head, cursing Harry for being such a dork all of the time. He sighed in relief when he saw the ball not to far away. Niall lazily made his way over, not paying any attention to his surroundings. He was focused on getting the ball. All that was ruined when his body slammed into another.
"Oh Christ!" Niall shouted when he realized what had happened. He looked down to see a pretty girl sitting on the ground. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention!" Niall spoke swiftly as he reached down to help her up. The girl placed her hand in his and let him help her from the dirt. "I'm really sorry. Are you okay?" Niall asked as she finally looked at him. He was taken by her the moment her eyes met his. Green eyes that were almost the same shade as the trees around them. Her full lips turned up into a small smile and she nodded. "Are you sure?" Niall inquired.
The girl nodded, "Yes. I'm fine. I promise." She looked around for a moment. "Where's my camera?" She wondered out loud. Niall looked around as well. He spotted the big, black camera on the ground not too far from his ball. Niall left the girl with a curious look on her face. Niall picked up the golf ball and camera.
"Here." Niall held the camera out to her. "I really am sorry." Niall stated again. The girl just shook her head and laughed. She started examining her camera. "I didn't break it did I?" Niall asked peeking over her shoulder for a moment.
She shook her head, "No. It's fine. It's nearly indestructible really." Niall nodded and stood there awkwardly, just looking at her. Her green eyes and pink lips were entrancing him. "So...um...it was nice to meet you." The girl began.
"Oh! I'm Niall!" He blurted holding his hand out. She took his hand gently. He couldn't believe how soft her skin was and warm. Not like she had been sweating from the Irish heat but she was warm like all the novels said a woman should be. He shook the thought from his head. He's just met this girl. He didn't even know her name.
"Aylie." She nearly whispered with a tender smile.
"Oh, so you're a Scot then?" Niall spoke with a teasing tone.
"No." She replied softly. "I'm Irish." Niall's jaw dropped a little. Odd name for an Irish girl. Aylie just stuck her tongue out at Niall. She'd gotten a lot of teasing for being an Irish girl with a Scottish name.
"What are you doing out here with a camera?" Niall asked, not really ready to leave her yet.
"I'm a photographer." She smiled warmly. His stomach dropped a little. He really wanted to know which kind. There were a very specific type of photographers outside the country club. "I like the wild life here. And the trees. The skyline here at dusk is beautiful." She stated when she saw the worry in his eyes. Niall nodded in relief. "Um. It looks like your friend is getting restless over there." Aylie giggled pointing to where Harry was standing. He was waving his arms.
"Yeah. I should go." Niall mumbled. "I really am sorry that I ran you over." He repeated one last time.
Aylie giggled, "It's okay. I wasn't looking where I was going either." They stood in an awkward silence for a moment longer. "Well, I should get going. I told the manager I wouldn't get in the way of games."
Niall nodded, "Yeah. Me too." He looked back to see Harry was smirking a little bit. "See you around?" Niall asked turning back to Aylie, but she was already half way down the green. Niall sighed heavily. She was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen on the course.

Niall made his way back to a smirking Harry. Niall grumbled to himself, knowing that the teasing was about to begin. He expected it. Harry had been in a very playful, facetious mood for most of the day.
"What took you so long?" Harry's tone was clearly taunting. Niall glared at him. "Seriously, what happened? Did she recognize you? Do you know her?" Harry chuckled.
"No. I don't know her. No. I don't think she recognized me." Niall replied bluntly. He was still a bit grumpy over losing his ball.
"Why did you spend so much time talking to her then?" Harry smirked. "Was she cute?"
Niall smiled and blushed, "Beautiful. She said her name was Aylie and that she's a photographer. She ran away before I could ask for her number or anything."
"Damn." Harry grunted. "Maybe you' ll get lucky and we'll see her before we leave the course." The suggestion made Niall's heart beat faster. Aylie had that strange, unknowable, unnameable quality that made him want to see her again and soon.
"Niall's got a new girlfriend!" Harry jeered in that playground, sing-song voice. Niall laughed, quickly turning to slap his friend in the stomach.
"Shut up." Niall chuckled as Harry pretended to cry. They both cackled for a moment longer before returning to their game.
