Chapter 4:

*Buzzzz, Buzzzzz, Buzzzzz*

*Buzzzz, Buzzzzz, Buzzzzz*

My eyes flew open. "Incoming Call Maverick" "Hello?" I answered hoarsely.

"Hannah! Where are you? I've been trying to get ahold of you for hours!?!?!" Dad lectured.

"Hours!!! What time is it????!!!!??!!"

"It's 12:00am Hannah, I need you back to the room now. Someone sent you something."

"Okay, I'm sorry I fell asleep. This sunburn's kicking my butt."

"Where did you fall n-n-nevermind. Explain when you get back. Love you see you in a minute."

"Alright, love you."

I rushed down the hallway. *BAM*

I ran right into him of all people. Of all people!!

"Oh." I continued to walk around him. I had paid no attention to the fact I was just stood up when I was on the phone with Dad.

"Hannah, wait!!! Stop!!!!" he grabbed my arm.

"What."

"I wanted to come, I really did. I promise. Management wouldn't let me out. They said it would be a definite way to get caught. They kept me in until now. I had no way to get ahold of you. I sent something to your room.... If you haven't already got it.... You probably did... You probably just hate me.. I would if I were in your shoes.... I don't know what it is Hannah.... I couldn't stop thinking about you all day & all last night.... I-"

I cut him off, "Niall, listen. I know exactly what you mean. I'd been dying for tonight too. I believe you. You seem genuine. I love how real you are & how you just put everything on the line for me, but I don't feel like being a charity case....." I trailed off.

"Hannah," he said sternly, "It's not like that, at all. I don't know what it is I'm just.... intrigued by you.... I would've loved to have spent the evening with you, I just wasn't allowed... Trust me you hated it no worse than I did..... Please? Give me another chance?"

Those. Eyes. I seen something in them I only had seen a couple of people. When you could see the love in their eyes. It was something deep, deep inside of them. Just, peace & contentment. His face was inches from mine, little did I realize getting closer by the second.

Then. It happened. Our lips met for the first time. His hands found mine. It felt like we were the only two people on the planet. In the galaxy.

"Believe me now?' he asked smirking.

"Of course." I said blushing.

"Let me walk you back?"

"I thought you'd never ask."

My room was only a little ways down the hall, but we took our time.

"So, Ms. Lamerson, where are you from?" he questioned.

"Ohio. Piketon to be exact. About an hour or two away from Columbus. If you blink you's miss it." I said laughing.

"Columbus is a nice city. I have no idea where Piketon is though." he said smiling.

"I figured as much." I could feel myself beaming.

Unfortunately, we were at my room.

"Oh, umm this is it." I stated.

"So, Lamerson, you mind if we try this thing tomorrow, but later. At around 10:00 at night?"

"I'd be honored."

"Do you have to go?"

"I wish not. I'm late already. I'm going to be dead."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"No!! You're fine!! It's not everyday you, literally, run into someone like you." I said. He blushed at that.

"Well, goodnight lovely," he said. He leaned down and kissed me gently.

"Oh, & don't forget your surprise."

I grinned. How had I gotten so lucky??

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

I ducked inside letting go of his hand. I hadn't even realized I'd been holding his hand that whole time, it was that natural.

"It's about time." Dad surprised me with.

"Oh, listen Dad I'm so sorry! I was supposed to meat someone & then I dozed off."

"You're not in trouble. You've just got to quit randomly dozing off. What's with that?"

"I don't know. Jet lag?"

"Sure, haha. The 'surprise' is on the night stand. Your 'friend' is a sweetie. A little short for you though don't you think?"

"Dad."
