Meltdown (N.H)

10

Horan and I got off the train and went to the hotel we were staying in.

"It is pretty big." I told Niall when we arrived.

"Yeah." He said.

We entered the hall and the receptionist greeted us with a smile on her face.

"Good evening, we have two rooms booked." Niall explained.

"Good evening sir. What name is the booking under?" The receptionist asked.

Niall looked at me clearly telling me with his eyes he had no idea what name were the rooms booked under.

"Bill Kenwright I believe." I said.

"Okay. Yeah, there you are." She said and gave us two keys. "Enjoy your stay."

"Thank you." Niall and I said. The club had already paid the stay I guess.

"So, 200 and 201." Niall told me while we looked at the rooms' distribution.

"Second floor then." I said.

"Yeah." He replied.

The elevator seemed to be occupied.

"Should we go by foot?" I suggested.

"Definitely." Niall answered.

We found the stairs and before I could realise it, we were both running and climbing two stairs in every step. We arrived to the second floor in less than a minute.

"That was fast." Niall laughed softly.

"Definitely. Do you always do this?" I asked.

"Yeah, do you? Or you wanted to arrive before me?" He said ironically.

"I always do. Do you think I am that much of a child?" I said with sarcasm.

I've been running on stairs since I was like five years old. I always did it in school. All the kids did. And I was a competitive child at the time.

I still am, but I can't show it that much.

Our rooms were the last ones in the hallway. We obviously had to run.

When we were in front of the rooms' doors, we were both breathing heavily because of the big run. We were also laughing a bit.

"I'd say we both won." I said.

"Yeah, let's leave it like that." Niall agreed.

"Tired?" I said sarcastically.

"Not a chance. Are you?" Niall said with the same tone I used.

"Nah." I replied.

Both of us were clearly tired, but we weren't going to admit it. I at least wasn't going to admit it to him.

"Have a nice evening Greenwood." He said and gave me a key.

"Same to you Horan." I said and entered my room, 200.

The first thing I did was go to bed. I was exhausted.

I then realised we hadn't had dinner. I was a bit hungry to be honest.

I received a text. Seems like Horan realised that before me.

"Greenwood , do you know if the hotel has dinner service?"

"No idea, maybe we should go and see." I texted back.

"Fine, I'm starving. I'll be waiting for you in the hallway." He replied.

I fixed my hair a bit and left the room. Niall was already waiting for me.

"Let's go." He said.

He started walking and I followed him. We used the elevator this time.
