I Don't Understand
Fireworks
Saturday, 7/04/09
We were all on the lawn of the Washington County Fairgrounds. We had had dinner and done some smoke bombs etc. But now our parents were setting up blankets and I was just really wanting to go for a walk. Mr. and Mrs. Twist, Payne, Tomlinson, Horan, Malik, Calder, Edwards, Raine, and Taylor had all come over with their kids this time, and my Mom was STRESSED! She hates meeting so many people at once, not to mention she was wrapped up in tiny Lillian. Meanwhile, Waliyha and Safaa were being introduced to everybody by Zayn. Waliyha was nine and Safaa was four, but they were just plain adorable. They got shy and went over to play with Kenzie and Leigh. Harry stood up, "Does anybody else want to go for a walk?" Heavens yes. I stood up, and than so did Niall... And Cerena, who grabbed Misty. Than Liam and Zayn, and Perrie who grabbed El, than Louis followed her... I mentally face palmed at the order that people had stood up. How obvious can they be. Seriously. We started walking just around the fairgrounds. We saw allot of people who had brought games to play. Smart thinking, because it's still light out and the fireworks won't start until it's dark. it should be time in a good three hours. Why did we come so early? We had been walking for a while, and Harry kind of lead the way over to a group of teenagers who I kind of recognized from the party. Obviously from Marietta high. Everybody started talking to faces they recognized fem the dance, and... Oh My Goodness... Colton... Did he have to show up in my life today of all days? He ha d almost slipped my mind, but now I was even more confused. Niall Harry Colton... Geez. I tried to ignore him. Even avoid him. But he found me and gradually made his way over next to me, talking to the boys and Damian. So he's met them, and obviously knows them. "Hey." He offered. His voice was all shy and husky. I couldn't help it. He's adorable. I giggled. "Well hello, my dashing stranger!" He smiled, his expression was so soft. "Colton." Help! I'm melting! "Yes, I remember. I'm Angelina." He laughed and caught my hand, bowing and kissing the back of it. "'Tis a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance M'lady." I blushed and curtsied, rendered speachless. I accidentally caught Niall's eye and he looked hurt. Wow. "Damian said you have a new little sister! Um, can I meet her?" He's so darn sweet! "Yeah, for sure! Follow me." I caught his hand and smiled to myself as we walked back to my family. I guess I just feel like I already know him. It's like dancing with somebody creates this connection in your heart, as if you know their soul. Music brings everybody together. We arrived at my "camp" and Lillian was asleep in her carseat on the blanket, not even a day old. I kind of wondered why Mom wanted to do anything today. Colton kneeled down in front of her and breathed in deeply. He reached out and gently ran his hand over the little fluff of red hair on Lillian's tiny head. "She's beautiful." I approve and agree!!! Since when were guys this genteel and freaking adorable. My Dad walked over, not recognizing Colton. At this my stranger stood up, and extended a hand. "Sir. These are your daughters?" Dad nodded and took his hand, giving it a firm shake. "I am Mr. Cortez. And you?" "Colton. I go to Marietta and met Dan and um, Angelina, at the party they had a while back." Dad nodded his approval and walked off. I breathed out. Dad can be pretty harsh to guys in my life. But Colton didn't even look a little flustered, let alone act it. He was such a gentleman. But I don't understand how my Dad doesn't intimidate him, he didn't even smile at Colton. Dad assumed the other guys were just Dan's friends so he hadn't bothered with them. But he must have seen me holding Colton's hand. I can definitely feel an interrogation coming on later. "Shall we?" Colton extended his hand to me. I smiled like an idiot and accepts his hand, entwining our fingers and trying not to skip with joy as we walked back to where my group was.
"Hey Daisy" It was Harry "Sit next to me?" He patted the blanket next to him and smiled, as his dimples popped out of nowhere. It had grown dark, and we were still with the teens from school. Colton had introduced me to them, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't remember their names. A new voice piped up "Awe c'mon Lina, you don't need him." Louis... Oh geez. I sat down next to him just to avoid the three guys in my life, and enjoyed the next hour of fireworks right above my head, ooh-ing and aahh-ing with Eleanor. We both cuddled u to Louis and he put an arm around us both. He's kind of like a brother to me, but I don't know about El.
The fireworks were over and our guests came back to the house with us. People were leaving and I was hugging them all. It was good meeting my friend's parents. Harry was staying the night with Dan, and my parents were still talking to Mr. and Mrs... Horan? I went and put Lillian in her bed. She's so tiny... I remembered Zoe Jean and almost shed a tear, but... "Angelina?" I turned around. "Yeah, Niall?" He sighed and walked over to me, next to the crib in my parent's bedroom. He peeked in and tucked the blankets closer around Lillian. Everybody already loved her. He looked back up at me "You know I have feelings for you. I know you fancy me, too. Will you take a chance?" He smiled a cheesy smile and got down on one knee, holding up a chocolate cookie. "Angelina, will you accept this cookie? Will you go out on a date with me?" I giggled and took the cookie. I thought of Johnny. He still hasn't texted me back. I looked Niall in the eye. "Yes I will" He jumped up and grabbed my waist, holding me away from him and spinning me around. When he set me down he crashed his lips onto mine. Fireworks. Time stopped. But a few seconds later his parents called him, and he hugged me, than ran out of the room and downstairs, whooping all the way. I faintly heard his parents asking him why he was whooping, and his reply. A quiet and embarrassed "Oh, Um, no reason." I shook my head and smiled, touching my lips. But than the good feeling left me. I remembered Harry...
Niall and Harry visited me in my dreams, but I was dating Colton. I don't even know what to think any more.
