I had always had a dream of what my life would be in high school. Especially my love life. I had always dreamed of having a high school boy friend, going to college together and getting married after a few years. Never did I even think that maybe it would not go the way that I had always hoped.
**********
Outside the snow was falling lightly to the ground, the storm just beginning to setting into the valley. From inside the airport I could tell that it must be much worse up in the air since my sisters flight from Las Vegas had been delayed. When a chair opened up she went for it like a kid in a candy shop, and settled down knowing it would be quite some time before the flight would be coming in.
"Hello? Love?"
I jerked awake, unsure whether I was more alarmed by hearing an Irish accent in Utah, or by the fact that the speaker was touching my arm.
"Oh.. sorry. Can I help you?" I muttered as I tried to focus on the mans face, and really regretting my lack of confidence when speaking with strangers. At just 17 and from a small town I hadn't had much experience with them.
"I... well, I thought you might be dead."
"Ha oh well I'm alive, thank you" I said with a friendly smile.
"I can see" he chuckled, "I'm Niall, Niall Horan"
Now I could see it and wondered how I hadn't noticed at first glance. There he was in all his Irish glory. The blond hair more messy than it usually appeared, and the blue eyes alight with excitement.
"Oh! Sorry! I didn't recognize you, I'm Emily Durand"
"Its alright. Really most people expect me to always be in a group, not alone like this."
"Still, I can't believe I didn't recognize you."
He laughed nervously, "Er.. Emily, you have a little something,:" he brushed lightly at his chin
I reached for my own chin and realized something absolutly terrible. There was drool on my chin. I'm not talking just a little, there was a lot. Glancing down at my coat I had used as a pillow I saw even more. Stupid nap leaving me with drool on my face and I was in front of one of the most famous boys in the world. Just. My. Luck.
"Oh!" I whispered, blushing very darkly, " Oh my gosh I am so sorry and embarrassed, oh this is bad so bad... " I slowly got quieter and quieter, as I turned away from Niall to wipe the nasty drool off.
A hand lightly pulled my shoulder so that I would turn. Niall leaned in close to my ear, "Don't worry about it. The lads are a lot worse when they sleep. Especially Louis, but don't tell him I told you." He winked with the wide grin as he said the last part. I still felt very embarrassed about him having to see me like that, but the awkward tension was broken, and life would go on.
"Well Niall what brings you here?"
"I was on my way to L.A. though my flight has been delayed for 2 days and now it is cancelled so it looks like I am stuck here, with no where to stay. You were here to pick someone up?"
"Yes, my sister because she was supposed to come home for wedding planning and the bridal shower but she is stuck in Arizona. You could come stay with my family for a while, or in a nearby hotel, then you aren't completely without someone that you sort of know."
"I would love to come if you're sure that is alright. Are you getting married?"
"I'm sure its fine. Oh goodness no. My sister is, I'm only 17 and still in school. I don't even have a boyfriend."
"Well since that is arranged, should we be going before it gets worse out there?"
I turn towards the windows. The snow is falling in larger flakes and beginning to stick to the roadways. "Yes we should definitely be going. Now."
We walk out into the parking garage, quietly put his bags into the car. I call ahead to let my parents know that my sister's flight is cancelled and that I'm bringing home a guest. Just as I am about to start the engine I feel Niall's hand touch mine. I look up as he leans up next to my ear, "I don't know how a girl as beautiful as you doesn't have a boyfriend."
I don't reply, I don't know how. Instead of responding I squeeze his hand, pull away, and start the car.
