Someone Like You

Chapter 9

My eyes fluttered open, sun shone through the window right onto my face. Groaning I rolled over to see Nialls absence.

Then I smelled it. It was the smell of warm, chocolate chip pancakes.

I pushed off the hard ground. I have no idea how Niall and I fell asleep on it last night.

I walked into the kitchen to see Niall leaning over the stove, flipping pancakes. I came up behind him and wrapped my arms around his middle.

"Good morning, sleepyhead." He greeted me. I mumbled a hello as I walked around to his side to watch him.

"When did you learn to cook?" I asked, groggily.

"Harry taught me." He said simply, I beamed up at him.

"Clever boy!" I praised treating him like a dog, teasingly.

"Well it smells really good, Niall." I called as I walked around to sit on the bar stool across from him.

"Here," he said sliding me a plate with two delicious looking pancakes.

"They look really good." I added

He served himself 5 pancakes, I raised an eyebrow at him.

"What? I love to eat! You didn't know that?" He asked me with a full mouth. I giggled at him and wiped a smudge of chocolate at the corner of his mouth away.

"Well now I do." I said to him digging in to my own breakfast.

We ate in silence for a minute or two until Niall turned to me and asked,

"So what do you want to do today?"

I shrugged, finishing chewing the pancake in my mouth.

"We could go to the mall." I suggested.

"Okay, let's do that." He stated

"I mean cause I have my first day if modeling tomorrow, and I could use some new clothes." I added.

"Yeah, yeah, but we need to go by my hotel. I need to get ready myself." Niall took our empty plates into the kitchen as I went into my room to change.

I looked at myself in the mirror of my bathroom. Since it was fall, I was wearing a large patterned sweater with black pants and a golden bracelet. I also had my hair up in a bohemian braid bun to top it off.

"Alright I'm ready." I called to Niall who was relaxing on the sofa.

He got up and walked over, I pulled on my knee high leather boots and grabbed my purse.

"Let's go." I swiftly said opening the door.

"I like your hair, it's very pretty." He complimented trying to touch it.

"Don't touch it!" I warned, swatting him away. He laughed at me. I smiled to myself, Niall bent over trying to see my smile as we were walking so he wasn't paying any attention where he was going. He tripped over his own feet and ran into the wall!

I doubled over laughing. He laughed with me, as I was clutching my stomach from the laughter. Wiping away a few tears, we walked down the steps to the lobby of my apartment building.

"Classic Niall, I wish I had recorded that!" I giggled

"Did I mention you look great today?" He asked me out if the blue.

"Uh, no, thank you Niall." I blushed.

We climbed into his car, and Niall turned on the radio. We both put on our sunglasses and Niall started singing along to the radio.
