Chapter 2 (Contract Baby)

***Mali's POV***

God damn, turn that thing off! Oh yeah... I'm the only one here.

I slowly dragged myself out of the warmth of my covers. I know it was summer, but I had my air on a very low setting. I had to be cold when I slept. It made me sleep easier. My bare feet padded across the cold hardwood floor to my phone dock. I shut off the alarm and looked at the little clock. The small blue digital numbers read 7:15. Holy Jesus.. Too early. I rubbed my tired eyes and made my way over to my huge bathroom. Once I looked in the mirror I cringed. Bleh. I looked real good. Taste the sarcasm? Yeah, same.

My eye makeup was smeared down the side of my face. Let's just say, I looked like a raccoon. I decided it was time for a shower. I had about two hours and thirty minutes till I had to be at the office. Enough time to get ready and have a small breakfast. I grabbed my eye makeup remover and wiped my face off. I went back into my room an unplugged my radio. Almost every time I took a shower I had to have a radio. Once I plugged it in on the bathroom counter, I went to Pandora. Justin Bieber Beauty and a Beat started playing.

I looked at my bare torso in the mirror. Hello abs! Thank you competitive cheerleading for those! I took out my pink belly button ring and then my diamond earings. I was about to pull my shorts off when the music stopped. When I looked over to my phone, I noticed a call coming in. Well all be darn.

'Niall:)' Was flashing across the screen.

I raced over to the counter an pulled my phone off the charger, sliding the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Goodmornin' babe." Hearig his accent again was music to my ears. I grinned widely. He called me babe again too. Dang. He had no idea what he was doing to me right now though. But he probably had a girlfriend anyways. Who wouldn't have jumped him by now? He can have any girl he wants.

"Mali?" oh shit!

"Yeah I'm here! Good morning Niall. How are you?" I slowly made my way into my room and across to the sliding doors. That pool looked really good right now. Maybe when I get back later I'll go swimming. "I'm good darlin'. Just calling to make sure you were awake. Wouldn't want you to be late for your first day, yeah?"

"Oh that's sweet of you Niall! I was actually about to get in the shower!" I chuckled nervously. Oh my gosh! He doesn't want to hear that! Damn it!

His angelic laugh rang though my ears making me blush. "Alright. Well I won't keep ya any longer babe. How far away do you live from the office?"

I scanned my brain thinking back to last night when I looked up direction. Ah! I remember now. "About ten minutes I think. I was going to call a cab when I got out of the shower. Just incase they are busy today."

"Are ya kidding me Mali?" what the hell is he talking about? He took my silence as his time to answer is own question. "You actually think you're going to get a cab?"

"Uh, yeah. I was planning on it. Why?" I was so confused. "I'm coming to pick you up-" I interrupted him trying to protest. "Oh no, Niall. You don't have to do that."

"Mali don't argue with me." his voice was very stern now. But somehow really sexy. His gravely voice spoke again,"I always get what I want. Text me your address." at the end his voice turned soft again. "I'll see ya later Mali." The line went dead. holy shit. He's hot when he's scary. Damn boy. I quickly texted him the address and got in the shower.

After drying my hair I decided to waterfall braid it around my head. I left my hair natural which was a bit wavy. I did my makeup next. Making my mascara heavy, which made my eyes pop. They were bright green today.
