chapter 2

        I can't stop thinking about how he touched my hand, he talked to me, he looked me in the eyes. I wasn't able to sleep last night, and when I did, I had horrible dreams about my boss and coworkers. I check the time. The clock on my phone reads "8:45". "Fuck..." I whisper. I roll out of bed and quickly get dressed. I make myself some toast with avocado and butter, and as I finish eating the meal, I get a text from a random number.

unknown

unknown: hey

brenna wood : who is this ?

unknown : oh it's niall....

niall : shit you already forgot about me

brenna wood : 😹

       I laugh and put my phone down after sending the laughing cat emoji. I sigh, however I can't tell if it's from relief or stress. I finish getting ready and finally at 9:20, I'm ready for work and I drive over to my job.
       I'm opening today, so no coworkers are here yet. "Thank God," I say to myself, as I can't bear to see them this early in the morning. I open my phone to text the group chat, once again.

          I quickly turned off my phone once I heard the sound of the door opening. I look up from the cash register and think to myself, "Damn, already?!". I take a glance at the customer and ask "What can I get you today?" The voice has the Irish ring to it. I blush and try to hide my smile. "You," I hear a whisper. "Excuse me?" I ask confused. "Oh, nothing," he tries to hide his smirk. "I would just like a drink." "Okay, what would you like?" "A lemonade, please. Oh also, Brenna," he smiles. "Would you like to go to the memorial park with me today? I heard the weather is great." "Oh, um," I think about the consequences of leaving early. "Yeah, why not." I smile and nod my head. He beams with excitement. "Yay!! Wanna head out right now?" He asks, eyes gleaming with joy. I decide to clock out of my shift as soon as Gianna walks in. "What is going on here?" she asks. "Nothing I gotta go bye!" I say as Niall grabs my hand and drags me out of the building by my hand.
       We check out the park and after 3 hours, we go to sit on a bench on the west side of the park. We sit down and he puts his arm around me. "Hey Brenna," he looks me in my eyes, faces around six inches apart. "Do you want to go to London with me?" he says. I look away. "I really shouldn't," I say. "Oh, okay." He looks at me with disappointment. I begin to apologize when he stands up. "Would you like a drink?" He asks with sincerity in his face. "Oh, um sure." I state. He smirks and walks away. I text my group chat and tell them about Niall when he comes back and looks at me. I put my phone down as he hands me the drink. "Thank you." I take a sip. The drink tastes like lemon, with a hint of cotton candy. "Ooh, this is pretty good, Niall. Thank you." I finish my drink. I begin to feel woozy. I tell Niall and he takes me back to his car. I feel myself drift off, and I hear Niall on the phone. "Is the plane ready? She's with me." I hear him say nonchalantly. I finally drift off to unconsciousness.
