Everything About You

Chapter 4 - The Shop

Waking up on Wednesday I felt easily more refreshed, the nap I had yesterday definitely helping but I still decided that I would leave early for my lecture and grab a coffee on the way.

I rolled out of bed and walked over to my draws, looking through my clothes before I decided on a pair of black skinny jeans and a plain purple shirt and made my way to the bathroom.

Once I was washed and out of the shower I got changed and threw my hair up into a bun, I really couldn't be bothered with it today and it was quite messy. I quickly got my shoes on and made my way down the stairs towards the cafe, I really needed this coffee and fast.

On my way to the cafe I made sure not to trip on any rising bricks and made it there safely without embarrassing myself once again. After I had ordered my black coffee I went and sat down in a chair, messaging my Mum to see how she was going while I waited for my order.

When my order number was finally called out I quickly told my Mum I had to go, so pocketing my phone I stood up and headed to the counter to collect my coffee. As I went to turn around I accidentally bump into someone.

"Oh my god. I am so sorry." I rush out as I look down at the person and notice it's the same guy I've been seeing around everywhere and my god was I right about him being hot. His eyes, blue as an ocean, his cheek bones, chiseled by the gods above and the slight stubble on his face, groomed to perfection.

"All good lad, but we really should stop meeting like this." He chuckles, his voice, angelic and accent thick. I'm stood frozen in my spot until I process that he said something to me.

"Yeah, we really should." I chuckle before I'm apologizing again and heading towards my lecture. I really do need to be less clumsy I'm seriously going to hurt myself or someone else one day.

The lecture was really no different to Monday's but instead of doing 'get to know you's' we were writing notes instead. There wasn't too much I didn't understand as it was really just the basics to begin with which I had already taught myself about.

Deciding that I was in the mood for taking some photos I grab my camera once the lecture is over and go walking around the campus taking photos of anything and everything I possibly could. I snapped some photos of the buildings, trees, flowers and even snapped a few photos of people walking around, obviously asking for their permission first.

It was around 2 hours later that I was running into Niall, both of us on our way back to our dorm.

"Hey mate, how was your lecture?" I questioned as I fell into an even step with him. I hadn't seen him all day as I had already left this morning before he was up.

"Kinda boring, but I need to get back and right up some notes that I missed during class." He says as we make our way up the stairs.

"Yeah, same here. Missed a few things so should probably write them up as well." I grin at him as we both part ways and make our entrance into our own rooms, shutting our doors.

A few hours later I hear Niall softly knocking on my door. I call out to him to come in and he slowly opens my door, poking his head inside my room before fully opening up my door.

"Um, I've been invited out for drinks tonight with a few people from my course, was just wondering if you wanted to come too?" He questions from my doorway. I sit and hum for a few seconds, contemplating whether I want to go or not before making up my mind.

"Nah, I think I might just have a night in. Thanks for the offer though." I smile at him as he nods his head at me, walking out of my room and closing my door.

"Bye Harry." I hear Niall shout from outside my window.

"Bye." I shout back before I hear the front door closing, indicating that he's now left.

I look at the time on my phone and realize that It's 6:45pm and I'm starting to feel hungry. Having no food in the house means I need to do a shop but for tonight I'll just go down to the little shop on campus and find something there.

Grabbing my phone, wallet, headphones and dorm key I make my way outside, locking the door and heading towards the little shop. I put my headphones in, Mr. Brightside by The Killers flowing through the speakers and into my ears. I hum along making my way around the buildings, using the lights to help guide me in the right direction.

"Hey." I greet the person at the counter on my way into the shop. I get a quiet hello back and then I'm moving down the isles to try and find something for dinner.

As I turn down the next isle I stop in my tracks, eyes going wide. That same guy I've been seeing around is here and I really need to figure out his name but now is not the right time. He looks up from the box of tea bags in his hand and smiles at me.

"Not here to knock me around again are you?" He laughs, raising his eyebrow at me in amusement. I laugh, trying to hide my growing blush caused from pure embarrassment.

"Don't plan on it." I laugh and give him a small smile as I step back and go into the next isle. God, why am I seeing him everywhere and why is he so damn cute and hot all at the same time.

After choosing and paying for a Caesar salad, orange juice and a strawberry yoghurt cup I make my way out of the shop, heading back towards my dorm. On my way out though I notice the guys two friends he's always with waiting out the front so I give them a quick head nod as I walk past, knowing that they recognized me as well.

I hurried back to my dorm and set up in the lounge room. I put on 'White Chicks' and settled in, eating my salad and drinking my orange juice. It was quite relaxing and I was even more thankful that I didn't go out with Niall, I was enjoying having the space to myself for a little while.

A few hours later and Niall was walking into the dorm just as I was shutting the TV off. I was growing more tired by the minute and had decided it was time to go to bed.

"Why is it so fucking bright in here. God damn." He stumbles slightly as he tries to lean up against the bench. I grab him two panadols out of the cupboard and place a glass of water in front of him as well.

"Here, take these it'll help in the morning." I hold out my hand with the panadol in it and stand there making sure he does take it, knowing that he'll be thanking me in the morning.

"Thanks man." He smiles after he's finished his glass of water. He moves to put it in the sink as I say a good night and head to my room, ready for sleep to drag me under.
