• Chapter Three •
The entire week was pretty typical, eat, sleep, work repeat .
Today was Saturday, and I really needed to go food shopping because there was basically nothing in the fridge .
Emma was at Martins house, yes Martin my co-worker he has a daughter who's two too and her and Emma play together sometimes.
I grabbed my wallet making sure my credit card was in there and I headed out the door .
I got to the store pretty quickly and walked in after grabbing a cart .
I had wrote a short list of exactly what i'd need, I probably wouldn't consult it the whole time but, anyway.
I grabbed some coffee beans and a packet of cookies.
Suddenly the cart hit against my chest . "Oh my God, sorry" a woman said. I stared at her , she was awkwardly smiling . She had green cat eyes and short brown hair that was light . She too had a cart in front of her and a handbag slung over her shoulder .
"Its fine" I smiled .
She started back at me and smiled raising her eyebrows a tad .
"Eh, this seems like a weird question but did you happen to send a snapchat of you and your daughter into Sh Studio , you know the radio station , the other day ?" She said tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Eh yeah I did, why ?" I asked scrunching my eyebrows.
"I work there, I was actually the one read out the snaps , and the whole awh em ahahah " she laughed blushing .
Oh that makes sense now . I laughed along with her .
"She is very adorable though , you and your partner should be proud." She said laughing again .
I smiled ignoring the comment about the partner . "Yah , well shes not the best when she decides to cry all night and ends up in your bed" I laughed .
The attractive woman in front of me laughed . "I didnt catch your name." I smiled
"Grace Knightley " she said extending her hand.
"Niall Horan" I replied.
"Well Grace, I better get a move on so hopefully I'll see you around" I added , I really didn't want to stand in awkward silence for much longer .
"Yah I'll see you around Niall" She smiled .
And with that she strode past my cart and out of my sight .
I finished grocery shopping , and of course not consulting my shopping list what so ever .
As I packed away my food into the back of my car I heard someone groan followed by a "shit" . I turned around to see the woman I was talking to , Grace . Sitting in what I assume was her car . She was hitting her head off the steering wheel and was extremley distressed looking .
I walked gingerly over and knocked on her window." Eh are you okay ?" I asked not really wanting to intrude .
She turned her head and rolled down the window . "Did you say something ?" She asked genuine.
"Eh yah I just asked were you okay ?" I repeated .
"Oh well I borrowed my brothers , stupid car, and of course it decides to not work." She groans .
"Well I can give you a ride to were every your going" I said .
"No no I'm fine my brother can probablby come ." She said .
"No seriously its okay I can drive you ."
She thought for a moment . "Thanks Niall"
She smiled and got out of the car stretching a bit before walking to the trunk to retrieve her shopping .
She hopped into the passenger seat of my black golf .
"Thanks again Niall" Grace said pulling on her seatbelt .
"No problem" I smiled pulling out of the car park of the store .
"So- I began attempting to decrease the awkward vibe.
Graces' phones started ringing .
"One minute" she said before answering .
Graces PhoneCall :
"Ya, it just wouldn't start for me .
"Of course I tried it twice, I tried it a dozen times"
"No don't bother I have a ride."
"Oh this guy I met."
"Yes yes I know obviously"
"Yah yah , bye Mark."
"Sorry about that" Grace says after she ends the phone call.
"Its fine" I reply .
"So Niall what do you do for a living ?" Grace asks.
"Eh I work as a mechanic, in the body shop on fifth avenue. What about your self ?" I say
"Oh thats cool, and an elementary school teacher and I work as a radio presenter on the weekends"
"Cool" I smiled.
(**)
The car ride was filled with small talk and just getting to know one another. Thankfully the awkward barrier was shot down as soon as we started cracking jokes and what not.
From what I heard Grace seems like a very nice girl .
'Very nice girl ?'
Okay shes was lovely, not to mention gorgeous. She came across as one of those people you could joke and mess around with . The type who'd give you a hard time.
We even exchanged numbers, she was a lovely lady so why not ?
