Chapter five
I waited outside my house until I saw a familiar black car. I said hello to the driver and went in. Wait a second… how come Niall is the only one in here?
"hey Kyla! Nice glasses" he greeted me smiling
"hey Niall! Where are the rest of the boys?" I asked him.
"oh, Louis is out with his girlfriend Eleanor. Zayn, Liam, and Harry decided to go sightseeing and rented a trolley. So its just me today" he replied grinning "hope you're not too upset"
"no no! its fine" I assured him. No this is not fine! I'm alone with Niall?
We drove out to China Town because the chances of people mobbing him were small and I wanted to show him the different types of food I love to eat there. When I told him he sounded quite enthusiastic to go. Since it was quite far we talked a lot
"I think we should get to know each other better" he said turning to me
"that sounds like an excellent plan" I replied grinning
"you start"
"well… I'll say basic things first. My full name is Kyla Baker, I'm 15 going to be a sophmore pretty soon" I stopped, not knowing what to say. He waved his hand signaling me to continue
"um.. Well I lived here in Hawaii all my life. I like reading and drawing" oh gosh I must sound boring "hah, I don't really know what to say. You go now"
"my name is Niall Horan, 16, gonna be a junior in a couple of weeks (A/N One Direction are younger in this story but are still famous as they are in real life). I'm from Mullingar Ireland, and I like music" It was funny how he didn't even need to tell me this since I have read it all in magazines or heard it in school. We continued spouting out facts about ourselves and soon arrived in China Town.
First place I took him was a small shop inside the market that sold bubble tea (A/N for those who may not know, bubble tea is basically a smoothie with tapioca jelly pearls. They taste amazing (: ). I ordered taro and had Niall order mango (the two best flavors in my opinion), he really liked it. Next place I took him was Nam Phong. Nam Phong is a shop that sells char siu, shoyu chicken, crispy pork, etc. He really liked all of them. After that, I look him to a dim sum place across the street. (A/N dim sum are small bite-sized or individual portions of food traditionally served in small steamer baskets or on small plates ) he liked the different Chinese food but he struggled with the chopsticks so we had to get him a fork instead. Lastly, I brought him to a Look Fun shop. (A/N Look Fun is a flat noodle that can be eaten with either meat or vegetables. Mostly eaten with shoyu/char siu sauce). We had eaten a lot so we walked to the Honolulu State Library in order to walk off what we had eaten.
I went through the big library having my hands move across the books bindings as we went shelf to shelf. Niall wasn't a really big reader like I was so he grabbed a magazine to look through as we walked around the giant library. It was nice and quiet and Niall looked like he liked the peacefulness. It seemed that celebrities couldn't have much quiet time in public with all the screaming fans. I grabbed a book and we headed out to the outdoor reading area. We laid down on the grass watching the clouds pass by when Niall sat up and looked at me.
"what's wrong?" I asked sitting up
"nothing.. Its just.. I really like hanging out with you" he said smiling. I blushed
"same here"
"you know… you're one of the first girls I hung out with that didn't scream in my face"
"well, I heard you don't like that so I'm suppressing my urge to fangirl" I said jokingly.
He moved in closer. Wait. What is he doing?
"I find you interesting.. I can't stop thinking of you. I think I like you. No. I know I like you" he said blushing. No way, this is not happening!
"but, I'm just a normal girl." I said rushing my words "You're a big superstar wanted by millions of girls why would y-"
my words were cut off by his lips coming into contact with mine. My eyes widened. HE'S KISSING ME. Before I could react a bright flash went off. Niall let go of me and turned around. Someone with a camera had taken a photo of us.
"seriously? Right now?" Niall mumbled under his breath. He grabbed my hand and ran inside the library.
He took out his cell phone "hey, can you pick us up now?" he whispered into his phone.
"I am so sorry about that Kyla, I didn't know they had followed us" he said turning to me. He looked really frustrated.
"no its fine" I assured him.
"none of the less, I did mean it when I said I liked you" he continued. I remembered the kiss and blushed a deep red. "you don't have to answer me right now but please think about it?" he asked looking me in the eye his cheeks blushing slightly.
I nodded and smiled. Our driver interrupted us then and took us to the car. The ride home was slightly awkward (mostly from me considering I wasn't asked out much). When we arrived at my house Niall hugged me and said good bye. I waved and hurried into my house. My heart was beating so fast I felt like it was going to burst.
A/N quite a long chapter! And sorry for all the author notes I squeezed into there! Please review!
