Eli's POV

"Eli wake up. Eli. Eli."

I feel someone poking my arm and I just groan in response.

"Hmm?" I mumble, my head nuzzling into the pillow more along with my fingers gripping onto the oddly thin blanket.

Wait.

Pillows don't breathe.

I quickly feel my eyes open, staring into the distance. Who's legs are infront of me...

Shit.

I lift myself up slightly, realizing how I'm holding on to Niall's shirt.

Double shit.

He chuckles.

"Mornin." he whispers with a welcoming smile and messy hair.

Oh lord.

"Oh I'm sorry!" I apologize, quickly loosening my grip and rolling myself off of him.

He just chuckles again as my attention lands on the new stranger standing beside us, looking at me with a stink eye.

I feel myself swallow hard.

"Don't be sorry. Your hair kept me warm."

I hesitantly move my eyes back to Niall and I just nod a little, unsure of what to do before finally standing myself up.

I quickly brush off some dirt off of my clothing, my eyes not meeting anything other than the floor.

"Um right. Um well again..yeah I-" I begin babbling, interrupting myself as I turn back to the man who is still staring at me.

A little frightened, I step back with my arms now crossed so I won't seem so intimidated.

I'm failing.

His features soften when he notices my discomfort and he just gives me a welcoming smile before giving his hand out to me to shake.

"Hi my name is Paul." He says, his tone deep but also a little friendly.

I feel my breathing stop a little since I'm still unsure about this strange man, but when I turn to Niall and see him nod reassuringly, I just nod back, looking back at this Paul guy.

I shake his hand slowly, still feeling slightly afraid.

"Elizabeth." I introduce myself.

He nods and quickly turns his attention to Niall who is beginning to get up.

"Thank you Elizabeth for saving him from the fans. Without you he probably would've ended up in the hospital."

I smile slightly, stepping closer to Niall for the sake of my own comfort.

"Not a problem." I reply honestly.

"I will make sure to tell your manager that he has a great employee." He adds as his eyes avert back to me. And the intimidation returns.

"Ugh thank you?" I respond, my arms crossing awkwardly again.

How does he know that I work here? Did Niall talk about me?

I glance over to my side, Niall smiling as if he just won the lottery.

Well I mean he's already rich but...

Well smiling how an ordinary person would smile if they won the lottery.

Does Ireland even do the lottery o-
