Chapter 5:

Oh my gosh. They were beautiful.

He had sent me a dozen violet roses. They were gorgeous. I walked over & read the notecard attached.

"Hannah Lamerson:)"

"I'm so sorry. I was under lockdown. You have a right to hate me but please don't. If you know what this color of rose means you'll understand completely. If not that's fine too. I hope to see you as soon as possible.

Love Always,

You're Favorite Leprechaun"

I giggled. Of course I knew what the color meant. Mom got us roses that color every year. Red means love , yellow means best friend, but purple. Purple means love at first sight. I flipped the card over and written small on the back was his room extension I could call him at. Then a, "Test it;)"

Crap!!!!!!! Dad knew about Niall!!!! Sarah & Dad have to be warned not to tell!!!! Sarah was asleep.

"Dad! You CANNOT tell ANYONE about Niall! I need you to tell Sarah not to say a word to any--"

"Hannah! Take a deep breath! He told me! Sarah wasn't even here when he stopped by. He's got a good head on his shoulders."

"Whew. I know & it isn't so bad looking either is it?" I teased. He rolled his eyes. "I'm going to hit the hay. I'm exhausted."

"Okay, night. Love you."

I snuggled up in bed & relived the past 24 hours. Wow. How had this happened to me? This was definitely a confidence booster. I went to bed, only to dream of the next day.

Ahh! He wanted me to call him!!! Crap! I jumped out of bed & rushed to the phone & dialed away with gigantic butterflies.

"Hello?" he answered in the thickest, smoothest accent I'd ever heard.

"Hello, is this my favorite leprechaun?" I asked. I knew the answer. It had only been one day but I knew him & his voice. His smell. The feeling that came with his presence. All of it. I had fallen to hard & to fast.

"Why yes, yes it is. I thought you'd never call." I could tell he was smiling.

"I'm so sorry!! It slipped my mind I was overwhelmed by the flowers they were beautiful."

"I know the feeling." he said. I could hear the flirty under tone in his voice. I smiled.

"Oh, really? Is that so?" I ventured

"Yeah, just yesterday." he said with that same tone.

I giggled.

"So, ummm, did you er- know what the color meant?"

"Yeah, Mom buys me a purple rose every Valentines Day." I said smiling at how embarrassed he acted.

"Oh, cool." he said opening the conversation up for anything.

"I would send you some to return the compliment but you probably wouldn't like roses." I laughed.

"You're probably right, but hey, they say it's the thought that counts."

I could hear someone in the background.

"Ooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Niall's gotten himself a sweetheart finally!!!!!!!!!!!!" the voice said.

"Lou!!! Shut up!!!!!" he hollered.

I laughed, he was adorable. Everything about him I loved already.

"Sorry about the boys." he apologized.

"They're fine!! They're just happy for you!"

"Yeah, they can't wait to meet you! They've been begging already. I keep telling them I haven't even gotten to spend time with you yet!"

"I can't wait to meet them! They seem great!"

"If, ummmm, you want to just hang out here tomorrow that would be fine with me???? We could meet up earlier? Spend all day?"

"Yeah!! That would be great!!! I'd love it!!!! The more the merrier!!!!!"

"Awesome!!!! Just text me whenever you wake up & I'll have Paul come get you!!!"

"Yeah! One problem sweetie, I only have your room phone?"

"Oh, okay. Here it is." he told me the number & I gave him mine.

"Alright babe, see you then!!! Sweet dreams!!!!!" he said.

"Okay! You too! Goodnight!"
