Chapter 20 Table 9

A/N I wrote this on my phone so sorry It's shorter than normal. - Mairead :)

Chapter 20 - Table 9

19:30, nandos, table 9, be there. x

I read over and over the letter, and blinked a thousand times. Was this some sick joke? Were the boys playing a prank on me again? Or was this a date? It made no sense. It was just there, beside me, when I woke up.

"Liam?" I kept the letter scrunched in my hand, as I walked around the hotel room I was sharing with Liam. Silence embraced me in the small space, and I frowned. This is just too weird. First, I find a letter saying that I have to be at nandos for half seven, and then Liam mysteriously disappears... in the middle of the day. Does that not sound suspicous to you?

I look up at the clock. It was already 4:15, I could start getting ready to meet whoever this was.

I went back into my bedroom, and collected some clothes. Not too casual, but not too dressy either. Who was I to impress? Erin is the only person I would dress up for.

After I had a quick shower, I got changed. I was wearing a pair of my favourite chinos, a simple blue polo shirt, a hoodie to cover my arms, and white supras on my feet.

My signiture outfit basically.

I tied the towel around my waist, and squealed when I got out the bathroom to see Louis watching me with raised eyebrows.

"Louis? What are you doing here mate?" I said after clearing my throat.

"You - er, you're towel It's..." His eyebrows furrowed together, causing me to look down.

My cheeks heated up when I realised the towel was starting to fall down, so low you could see my v line, and the top of my... er, 'miny me'.

"Oops." I mumbled, pulling my towel up, with my cheeks still flaming.

Louis gave me a sheepish smile and bit his lip. He must be feeling awkward after almost seeing one of his best mates naked. I know I would if I was in his situation. It's like the time I walked in on Liam and Danielle as they were getting at it, Liam just in boxers, and Danielle in a bra and pants, I was just lucky I hadn't walked in on them any later.

"You haven't answered my question." I pointed out, shrugging on the top and hoodie.

"Oh yeah... what was it again?" Louis questioned slyly.

I rolled my eyes. I swear Louis has the memory of a goldfish.

"Why are you here?" I repeated the question I had asked a minute ago.

He bit his lip and started kicking his feet. "Well I was just wondering if you need a ride to nandos."

I gave him a confused look. "How did you know I was going to nandos?"

Louis shrugged. "I know a lot of things mate."

"Oh yeah? Like what?" I asked.

"Like the fact that you and Zayn have slept naked in the same bed." He smirked.

I could feel my cheeks heat up again as Louis laughed. I scowled at him and grumbled, "That was one time, and to be fair, we were camping, it was hot, and there was only one double bed left." I huffed.

"Whatever. Do you want the lift or not?" Louis said.

"Yeah, that would be great, thanks mate." I sighed, doing up the buttons of my shirt.

"No problemo." Louis said in his best French accent. Obviously; it failed, badly.

He then realised I was glaring at him, as I held up my chinos in my hand. He must've guessed what I meant, because in less than half a minute, he had rushed out of the room, shouting behind him that he would be waiting in the car.

I smirked, and changed quickly into my chinos. I walked through the house towords the door, taking a look in the mirror to check if my hair was decent as I walked past. It was good enough. As I had said before, I wasn't there to impress anyone, so what was the point in making effort?

I got out to Louis' car, and wasn't very shocked to hear The Fray blaring through the speakers. He grinned at me as I took a seat and shut the car door behind me.

"You ok mate?" He asked, both of his hands on the steering wheel, and his fingers tapping along to the music.

I nodded, even though for some reason, I felt a bit nervous. "I'm good."

Louis didn't look as if he belived me, but thankfully, he didn't question it, and he just turned the key, and we were off.

Nandos, the best place in the world.

A smile crept on my face as I stood looking at the sign. I like, worshiped this reastrunt. If there was one advantage to going to meet this stranger, it was that this was a good excuse to go to nandos. The boys hardly ever ate there with me anymore. I wonder if it's because I used to steal all their food.... that might be it.

As soon as I walked in, waiters and waitresses welcomed me as if we were old friends. The bad thing was, they remembered my name, while I only remember some.

"Mr Horan!"

"Niall! Welcome back mate!"

"Horan, how are you?"

"We've missed you!"

"We've hardly sold any food since you've been gone!"

I chuckled at the last greeting, and gave them a high-five. They were like family in nandos, the nicest people you will have ever met.

"Hi Niall." I recognized the last voice as Julie, a girl who used to be my waitress all the time.

"Oh hey! Julie!" I gave her a hug.

She chuckled against my body. "Long time no see eh?"

I pulled away and grinned. "Yep."

"By any chance, are you on table 9?" She stage whispered.

I bit my lip and nodded. "Yeah, is anyone here?"

She nodded. "Yes, a girl, around your age."

I raised my eyebrows. So this was a kind of 'date'.

"The whole place is taken for you both."

"By who?"

She shrugged. "Someone under the name Payne."

I oppened my mouth in an o shape, and clenched my hands. Those boys were going to die.

"I see." I said through gritted teeth. "Thanks Jules, I'll see you in a minute."

She nodded and gave me a wave, then walked off to get her notebook and pencil, probably to take our orders. I frowned and made my way past the tables.

Table 6, 7, 8... my eyes widened at the view in front of me, and my heart beat could be heard through my ears. It couldn't be, I was dreaming...

"Erin?"
