Fate

Chapter 3

~Claire~

I woke up on my own today. Thank God for weekends. I lay in bed for a while until I heard a door slam. Someone's here? I heard Brittany greet someone and I started to panic. Someone's here? On the weekend? I ran into the bathroom and looked at my reflection.

Gross!

I hastily brushed my hair and flung it into a ponytail. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I walked outside nervously then a soothing smell hit my nostrils. I smelled bacon and eggs.

Food!

I sprinted into the kitchen and saw a figure cooking. I cleared my throat and he turned around.

"Hi!" I said to my cheeky irish crush.

"Top 'o the mornin' to ya'!" he said in a rich accent. I nearly melted unwillingly. I smiled and looked at the food he was making.

"Why are you making food?" I asked. He looked at the food and back at me.

"Wanted to surprise you! Brittany said it was fine!" he smiled. I looked down and noticed I was in my pajamas.

"Thanks... I'm gonna go change." I said blushing. He smiled and nodded, returning to his cooking. I ran into my room and threw on a pair of black leggings and a Harry potter sweatshirt. I was a nerd, but I embraced it. Niall knew I am obsessed with Harry Potter so he wouldn't mind.

I walked into the kitchen and he shoved a plate in my face. I took it graciously and we both began eating.

"I didn't know you could cook!" I said smiling. He looked down at the food and back at me.

"Neither did i!" he laughed soon joined by me. Thats something I loved about him. His laugh. And that I could laugh with him.

We finished and he offered to take me for a walk. We made it outside the apartment and then two little girls came up to us.

"Niall! Oh can I have a picture with you?" they both squealed. He nodded and took pictures. I smiled at how loving he was to his fans. I always thought all the boys in One Direction were stuck up. I was brought out of my trance when one little girl pointed at me.

"Can I have a picture with you and your girlfriend?" she asked innocently. I was about to correct her nicely but Niall spoke up.

"Sure sweety!" he said to the little girl. I nervously walked over to her and Niall put his arm around me, and the other around the girl. I felt goose bumps run down my arms. We pulled away and I rubbed them, hoping he didn't notice. The girls left and he looked at me with a cheeky smile.

"Apparently we're dating!" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Shutup!" I said playfully hitting him. He ended up inviting me to his flat, which I agreed to only if he gave me a piggy back ride there, which he did. He set me down at the door and unlocked it. I walked into a huge apartment that made my mouth drop. There were tvs and couches and pianos and just... Everything. It was huge!

I took a step into empty space and turned in circles, taking it all in.

"Wow." I said looking around once more. He laughed at me reaction and put his arm around me.

"It's not much." he said. I felt my eyes widen and I turned to look at him.

"Not much?!" I question. He laughed and shook his head.

"I'm just messing with ya! It amazing!" he laughed once more. We say on the couch and started watching TV.

"so how would you feel about going on a date?" Niall asked out of no where quickly. I looked at him In shock.
