Part 9

I don't know why but I love the atmosphere of places like museums or aquariums, even libraries. There's just something about aquariums especially that make me feel so calm, maybe it's because of the dim lights or the fish floating so slowly against a blue background. In any case I love being in them!

For a Monday it's surprisingly busy in here, but it's mostly young kids and their mothers or fathers, which is good because Niall is less likely to get spotted by a fan, hopefully and he's wearing his hat from that trolley he bought last night so I hope that works to hide his identity as well.

We look at some of the small tanks with little fish in them, of course I'm taking a ton of pictures. Niall is just kind of lingering behind me as I look at the different marine life.

I see a sign that points to where the jellyfish aquarium is and I scurry up to the glass to look in. Wow, they're so beautiful! I remember the last time I've seen jellyfish in an aquarium before, it was in Hawaii and I was 12, but there wasn't as much jellyfish in the Hawaiian one as the one here. There's about 20 jellyfish floating around in the tank that range in size and color.


Niall's POV

There's a sense of wonderment on Jordyn's face when she's watching the jellyfish, I can't stop staring at her. I think I made the right choice in taking her here, even if it was random. It's the perfect place to just admire her. Last night definitely changed the way I feel about her now, I want to know more about her. I shake my head at the thought, I've only known Jordyn for a day really but I feel so connected to her already. I don't want this to be our last day together.

I'm still looking towards Jordyn when she turns her head back to me. I quickly dart my eyes away but I think she caught me looking at her because she puts her hand up to her mouth and starts blushing.

She's looking back at the jellyfish when I walk up beside her. I scratch my neck trying to think of something to say but she pipes up first.

"Did you know jellyfish have no brains and they've survived millions of years without evolving one." Jordyn states filling in the awkward silence.

"Really?" I say, "I didn't know that. Are they your favorite animal?" I ask glancing at her reflection.

She seems entranced by the fish but she gives me a shake of her head and replies with a simple, "No." Then looks up at me and shrugs her shoulders, "Well not particularly, I like all animals but my favorites are pandas and red pandas. What about you?"

"Giraffes, they're just so tall!" I wish I was tall.
Jordyn giggles at my answer.
"What's so funny?" I smile.

She stops giggling waving her hand, "Nothing. Sorry I just never heard someone liking a giraffe. But I think it's cute that you like giraffes though!" She says trying to reassure my confidence.

We spend another hour looking at the rest of the aquatic life then head out to the streets again. It's hot out today that I might have to use Jordyn's sunscreen.

"Where we heading to next?" Jordyn asks cheerily.

I look at my phone in the maps app to make sure we are going in the right direction.
I point my chin up the street to a large building where there's a shopping mall inside. "There." I say.

I want to buy Jordyn a nice dress for where we are going to dinner tonight, it's a 5 star restaurant and I don't think she packed anything nice enough for this place, I just hope she doesn't mind that I'm doing this for her. I got a feeling Jordyn is the stubborn type from last night especially about money.

We are in Versace looking at the different types of women's clothing. Jordyn hasn't caught on that we're here for her yet, when she grabs a price tag and looks at it she looks back me and says, "Why are we in here?" She leans closer to me with a quieter tone so no one can hear her. "This store is expensive!"

"Well we are in here for you." I say nervously.
She leans away to look at me and her eyes widen, "Wait what?"
I shift my weight from left to my right. "I want to buy a dress for you, so we can look nice for dinner." I explain.

Jordyn's expression goes blank, she looks almost furious, oh shit. "I-No you don't have to. I can't accept, this is too much Niall." She puts her hands up shaking her head.

"No no no, please let me do this for you, I can afford it." I slowly take a step forward like she's an injured animal. "I want to do this... Just to make our last night memorable." Our last night, the last time I'll probably see your face again.

Jordyn looks down at her feet then at me, not looking in my eyes. "Let me do this for you." I plead.


Your POV

That's why he insisted we come in here! Why does he want to do this?! He's done enough for me already, at this point I'll feel like I owe him. I peek up to see his face. Oh no... He's giving me puppy dog eyes!! How can I say no to that now? I want this final day to be memorable too so I let out a long sigh, "Fine, nothing over $800." I groan when he shakes his head. Can't beat stubborn with stubborn...

I wander around the store with Niall following close behind me, I try to find the cheapest dress which is hard because almost everything is over 1,000$ in here. "Can't we just go to a different store? One less expensive?" I ask waving my hand.

"Nope we are already here." He crosses his arms, "Just find something you like, don't worry about the price." Niall says exasperated but still amused. "Hmph." I mumble at him. I will worry about the price!
He laughs, "Don't be difficult Ms. Hensen."
I turn away so he doesn't see me roll my eyes and continue on my search.

Well there is one that's cute but it's 1,305$. I inspect the dress I like that's hanging on the rack and Niall notices me looking at it.

"You like that one?" He asks, when I nod hesitantly he reaches for it and takes it off the hanger to give it a look over not even bothering checking the price tag. He nods in approval and hands it over to me, "It'll look beautiful on you," He grins, "You should go try it on. I'll wait out here."

Wow, ok not to toot my own horn right now but I look good! I'm standing in front of the mirror, in my changing room, checking myself out in this dress. It's a powder blue color that zips up in the back. The skirt part just reaches my knees that has a slit on the side showing off my thigh (my legs are my assets) and the collar is a V neck line. This dress accentuates my hourglass figure so well. I don't think I've ever worn something so fitted to my figure. Shit, I'm starting to feel self conscious right now. I don't know if I can go out in public wearing this thing! I don't like people staring at me! Even skinny girls have insecurities.

My inner voice calls out to me, but Niall won't keep his eyes off of you...
I'm staring at my reflection and an evil grin dances across my face.

I change back into my normal clothes and exit the changing room. Niall is sitting on a plush chair that is placed next to the changing rooms. He's playing on his phone and he doesn't notice me when I approach him so I playfully try to slap his phone out of his hands. "Hey!" He barks at me, "I almost beat my high score, you stinker!" Niall beams at me when our eyes meet. "Winner, winner?" He asks referring to the dress.

I chuckle, "Yes."

"Great." He's about to stand when he looks down at my feet then up, he's frowning at me, "Do you want new shoes to go with your dress? Or did you pack some with you?"

I put my hands on my hips and look down at my sneakers, "What's wrong with these?"
He laughs, "Never mind, I just thought you would want high heels to go with your outfit that's all."

"Ha!" I cackle, "I can't walk in heels for the life of me so I'll wear my flats, plus I'm not embarrassing myself in front of people especially you."

Niall crosses his arms and a big smile spreads across his face, "You couldn't, have you not seen what I've done? In front of thousands, I might add."

I narrow my eyes at him, I am not wearing heals. He puts his hands up in defense "Fine! No fancy shoes for you." He teases then winks at me. He seems very amused by all of this.
"Damn right and I have shoes that will match the dress." I say and head to the counter.

After purchasing the dress we decide to have lunch at a cafe that's in the mall. I pay for our food before Niall can take out his wallet, as the cashier takes my money Niall just smirks at me and shakes his head slightly. I give him my sweetest smile and say "Got to be quicker around here." He just laughs at my remark then leans closer to me "I'll keep that in mind then." A shiver runs down my spine, oh he's so sexy!

I sit down at a tiny table that barely fits two people, our knees are almost touching because of how small it is. But I don't mind it, I like being this close to him.

I take a sip of my lemonade as Niall takes a bite out of his sandwich. "So how much longer do you got on your tour?" Niall is chewing his food as I ask this, so I rest my chin on the heel of my hand and watch him eat. He's got a bit of mustard below the corner of his lip but he doesn't notice, "We've got 1 more month left of our tour, so it'll be around the beginning of August when it's done, and I'll be back home in London!" He grins at me.

Hmm... We'll be in London at around that time too. "Right around the same time as you guys, right?" I feel my lips curving upward and Niall eyes me, "What?" He asks with a mouth full of food.

"Hmm?" I blink at him lost in thought, he's just looking at me intently then mirrors my pose. Shit, I realize that I've been staring at him. My face heats up so I sit straight up in my chair. "Um nothing, you just got a little mustard on your face." I point to my face to show him where it would be on his.

"Oh dear!" He exclaims with an old lady voice, he grabs a napkin from the center of the table and wipes the mustard off. He's staring at me with raised brows and I can't help but giggle at his silliness, he grabs his sandwich then leans back in his chair, "What would you like to do after we eat?" He asks not looking away from me.

Hmm, I actually wouldn't mind going to a museum or see something historic like my friends are doing today.

"Do you think we could check out a museum or like the cathedral here?" I hope he doesn't mind seeing that kind of stuff.

He nods his head excitedly, "Sure! Whatever you want! Do you have a place in mind?"

Ok finally done! Thank you so much for the reads and being so patient! Part 10 is in the works!! xoxo
