What A Feeling

The next morning, Becca walks in the kitchen as Niall is making breakfast.
“Good Morning.” She says, gently pulling his neck down, for a passionate kiss.
He grins, raising his eyebrow. “Wow, now that’s what I call a proper good morning.”
She smiles. “Well, I have to treat you right, so you’ll show me the good stuff.”
She stops at the table, turning back to Niall. He’s smirking.
“That came out wrong. I meant sightseeing today, not YOUR good stuff. Um..I mean, all of your stuff is good... Crap!”
Niall cackles loudly.
Becca feels herself turning bright red as she take a seat.
Niall sets an omelet in front of her. “Don’t worry, Darling. Ever since I met you, I’ve been saving all my good stuff just for you.” He winks.

When Niall joins her at the table, she chooses her words carefully. “Where are we going today?”
He lists a couple places for them to visit, then adds. “I’d like to take you to meet my Dad, as well.”
Her face lights up. “I’d love that, Niall.”
He reaches for her hand. “Good, I’ve told him all about you.”
Looking into his eyes, Becca finally lets some of the feelings she’s been trying so hard to bury, come to the surface.
Just admit it, you’re falling for him.

As they drive to their first destination, Niall reaches over, taking her hand.
It’s amazing how something so small, makes me so happy.
Every so often, he lifts their hands, bringing hers to his lips to kiss.
As she looks over at him, and he smiles, she can literally feel the wall around her heart crumbling.

Their first stop is the National Museum of Ireland. They walk hand in hand through the many exhibits. After, they have a traditional Irish lunch at a local restaurant.
“The museum was incredible, I loved learning so much about the history of Ireland.”
Niall grins. “I’m glad you liked it.”
“And this food is so good.”
Niall is smiling, sweetly, at her.
“What?” She asks.
“Do you have any idea how amazing you are?”
She looks down, shaking her head. “Niall.”
“No, Darling. I mean it.” He leans in, close to her, whispering in her ear. “You’ve stolen my heart, B.”
Not expecting to hear those words, she looks into his eyes, finding complete sincerity. Gently touching his face, she kisses his lips lightly. Moving to whisper in his ear. “Keep being patient with me, I promise, I’ll be worth it.”
He grins.
With each adorable grin of his, I feel another brick crumble from my wall.

Back in the car, Becca asks. “So, where are we going now?”
“It’s a surprise.”
“Oh, come on, Niall.”
“Nope, you can’t get it out of me.”
She smirks. “I bet there’s a couple things I could do, to get it out of you.”
Niall laughs. “I quite like this “naughty” Becca.”
She laughs loudly.
“I’m not sure there’s anything more beautiful, than seeing you relax and truly laugh, B.”
There goes another brick, can’t be many left now.
