Just a "Dream".

Chapter 19

"Michael, can you please stop here?" I ask

"Here?" I catch him looking at me from the rear view mirror.

"Uh..Yeah..Here" I reply trying to sound confident but it comes off as just the opposite.

Michael does as he's instructed and very smoothly halts the vehicle by the curbside. I look over my shoulder to see Niall making his way to me. Michael gets out of the car and within seconds he's holding the passenger door open for us.

"Thanks Michael" I smile as we both get out of the vehicle & start to walk. We hear the sound of a door shutting behind us.

"Uh.. Excuse me Miss?" no sooner do we take a few steps than I hear Michael familiar voice.

My hand instinctively reaches out to my bag as I turn around wondering if I haven't forgotten anything back in the limo.

"Yes?" I reply walking towards him again and that's when I remember that I'm no longer wearing my shades.

"You forgot your sunglasses" he says as he hands them over confirming my doubts.

"Umm..Thank you" I say as I quickly drop them in my bag.

"You're not Cheyenne Cole" the light-eyed chauffeur once again speaks as I'm about to turn.

"No, I'm not. I'm Veronica Cruz" I reply meekly as I close my eyes and wait for his reaction.

I freak out assuming he maybe contacting Cheyenne or Addison or someone and reporting about me. And then Ashton will come to know and he'll get me fired for sure!

"Don't worry...It'll be our little secret" my eyes snap open as soon as I hear those words.

 Michael is standing there just flashing me a sweet smile.

"Really?" I squeak.

He doesn't say anything instead just winks and mock salutes as he turns around & walks to the driver's side.

 

As we silently make our way through a little lane my mind races back to the amazing encounter I had with the blonde boy walking beside me. I don't know what to feel. It's like a feeling of euphoria takes over me as I recall his blue eyes gazing into mine and his angelic face. Instinctively my lips turn into a small smile.

"What happened?" I snap out of my daydream hearing Niall's voice.

"Umm.. nothing.." I reply avoiding his gaze as I'm unable to erase the smile off my face.

We were standing outside an abandoned cottage at the end of the road. It was a tiny little house which always reminded me of the house from the story of Hansel & Gretel. Except that this house was in a really bad condition with broken windows, most of the paint had come off and the front porch look well destroyed with no steps leading in. The house was surrounded by trees and bushes running wild and had a small, broken, squeaky gate.

As I put my hand on the gate to push it open it was immediately covered under another hand, Niall's.

The first thing I feel when Niall's hand touches mine is cold. Despite the warm weather his hand was a little too cold which was odd? 

My eyes travel from his hand to his face and sensing my reaction Niall immediately pulls his hand back and shoves it in his jeans pocket.

"We are not breaking in again" he states nonchalantly.

 "Why not? We'll be even then" I wink at him.

"No! I don't wanna lose you again" he blurts out.

"What?" I raise my brows and mock him.

"Forget I said anything. Let's break in"  he says clearing his throat.

"You're weird" I laugh as I push the gate open

"As if you're not" he teases.

"Shut up" I playfully punch his arm as we walk around the house.
