The Childhood Memory

Chapter Six: I'm in love with my best bud?

"Are you serious Chloe?" Niall asked me with his eyes steady on me, while helping me with packing my bags. "Yes, I am serious mister" I answered with a frown

"London is too far Chloe" Niall frowned also with his blue eyes about to cry "Hey don't cry" I tell him while patting my arms on his back. "It's just that I'm really gonna miss you Chloe" he said while trying to hide his eyes with his hands. "Come on Niall, it won't take me a year there, maybe I'll be there for 3 months. Then after that I can go home already" I said while trying to make him look at me in the eye. I was waiting for a reply but Niall won't speak. So I tried to talk again "Look, my mother badly wants to have a vacation there. And also, Mr. Cowell assigned me to go to London to get my job done. I mean, isn't it worth it about me going to London?"

"Yeah, but Chloe. Haven't you been wondering on why things are forcing you to go to London. I mean, look your mom wants to have a vacation there. And Mr. Cowell, he assigned you to go there. Isn't it mysterious?" with his eyebrows up. Well, I was also thinking about that. Isn't it really like what God wants me to do? Maybe, there's a blessing or a wonderful thing that awaits me in London I hope so.

"Yeah, that's the thing I was also thinking about. Maybe, there's a good thing that awaits me there" I told him with a pretty smile

"What do you mean? Like serendipity? Finding something good without looking for it?" with his hands trying to rub his itchy nose.

It took me a long time to answer and think of his question. Is it really serendipity?  I just look at his warming beautiful blue eyes, with his eyes also looking at mine. He touched my hair pulled few pieces of it behind my ear. He held my hand and plants a kiss on it. With his blue eyes still looking at mine. Until finally I whispered "Yeah, something like that" 

        "Chloe, fix your things and pack your bags. We will leave New York on Sunday" my mother told me with her hands patting my back. "Yes mom. Actually, they're already fixed. Also had my bags packed." I tell her with a witty smile. Seems forced but not really. "Wow, seems like your excited huh?" while folding her red long dress. "Nah, I'm not excited. It's just that I want to pack early. And, Niall helped me with my bags" She gave me a steady look. It took her a minute to speak. She seems speechless. Until finally, after 5 minutes she talk again "Uh, Chloe will you tell me more about Niall?" while trying to make her voice sound calmer "What do you mean mom?" I don't really understand her question, it's like she never knew Niall. I mean, we've been best friends for ten years. It's impossible for her to not to know a lot about him. "I mean, tell me more about your friendship. Are you just really good friends or going steady?" She gave me a creepy look in the eye, like she's trying to tell me never fall unto him. "You're crazy mom. We are just friends. Really good friends! And it's impossible for us to fall in love with each other cause, Niall likes Maggie" Well, Magie is one of Mr. Cowell's secretaries. She's a hot chick with a blonde hair and blue eyes just like Niall's I try to give her a hard look, but I can't "But you like him?" Her question shocked me. I mean, deep inside I don't really know what to answer. Is it no or a...... yes?
