The Meeting

Chapter Two: Meeting Mr."Popstar"

Sunlight. Pure sunlight aimed at me and the loud giggling of my sister. Thats what woke me up today, as well as every other day since she was old enough to walk. "Come on Emily! Let me sleep for once!" But, considering i was in the middle of a yawn it came out more like "Om n mil. Et esleoronc" I felt a sudden weight added to my bed, and as soon as it came it was gone. Hearing her loud footsteps as she ran throughout the house, most likely hiding before i find her.

Hopping out of bed and heading to my dresser, i flip on the radio and blast whatever song comes on, this one being "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon. Rummaging through my closet and slipping on a random shirt and a pair of shorts, i hum along to the tune. Right as i emerge from my closet i groan. Hearing a loud voice downstairs, i can only assume its the infamous "Niall Horan". "Great. This is the start of the weeks im stuck with Mr Popstar". I quickly slip on my thickest pair of socks, considering this is probably going to be the last time i can ever slide around the house with either A. Mostly likely running into Niall or B. Considering ill be going into Hermit mode due to college.

Sliding out of my room, i glide across the smooth wooden floors and make my way to the kitchen, after i had almost broken my arm falling down the stairs. "Fudge" i said, rubbing my now soon to be sore arm, kneeling in the hallway. "Fudge eh? Nice choice of words". I look up and see the one and only Niall. I had seen him once or twice before, when he was vistin his mum, but i never striked up an actual conversation with him. Shaking my head and groaning at the thought of having to live in the same house with him for weeks, i race to the kitchen, tripping a few times due to the fact that i was rushing and the socks did not help for that matter. I can hear a loud laugh behind me, Niall probably observing my failures. 

As i make my way to the kitchen i rip off my socks, stuffing them into my pockets and head straight to the fridge, taking out the first thing i see, my sandwich from last night. As i take off the wrapping and shut the fridge with my foot i look up to see Maura looking at me and Emily, Niall by her side. Sitting down at the island i mutter a quick "Hello" before taking the first bite of my sandwich and looking up towards Maura to hear her "Rules of while Im Gone" speech.

Maura quickly clears her throat and i gesture to my sister to come over, she currently was attempting to make a dough man. Emily quickly races over, jumping onto my lap and giving her undivided attention to Maura. "I swear shes like a puppy" i think to myself, nodding at Maura that Emily and I were ready to listen.

Maura immediately puts a smile on her face and speaks. "So girls, as you know, I'm am going to be out for the next few months due to the importance of helping my son, Greg and his wife prepare for their new child who is coming soon! So thats why my other son, Niall is here!"

She then urges Niall forwards a bit, probably so he could make "introductions" again. He gives a quick smile and then backs up a bit, so his mother could speak and probably trying to text his friends. I turn my head and thats exactly what he was doing "AHA I WAS RIGHT.". Suddenly everyone stares at me, Niall turning off his phone, Maura with a confused look, and Emily laughing her ass off.  "Oh god.. i said that out loud"

Maura just shakes her head and resumes speaking. "So of course, on such short notice its hard to find someone who could help out you two around the house and with doctor appointments and such since you, Elizabeth are going to to be busy with college. So i contacted my son Niall, whom you two have met before from past visits?" I quickly nod my head at him in acknowledgement and Emily goes full out waving. I stifle back laughter at her rambunctious acts and i could tell Niall was too. Maura sensing our unspoken acknowledgements speaks on. "So for the next few to months, Niall will be staying with you two since he is off tour." Niall nods in agreement while glancing at his phone, most likely having heard this before. 

"Oh yeah mum?" Niall speaks up, finally paying more attention to the whole conversation. "Can the lads come over for a few days while your gone?" I groan at the though, "Great. Lets just make this a hotel for his friends and by the time Maura gets back it will be a pig sty". Maura shoots a quick glance my way and at Emily, who is practically bouncing at the prospect of meeting the rest of One Direction, practically her idols. She was already hyped up when she met Niall, but the rest of them? This is gunna be interesting. 

"Well Niall.." Maura falters, i assume to think of either how helpful they'd be or how destructive, im going with the latter. "I suppose they can be here for a few days, as long as they dont keep Elizabeth from her work and they assist in taking Emily to her appointments when Elizabeth cant." Maura states. A loud honking is heard outside the house and i tilt my head towards the window to see a cab outside, Maura's ride to the airport. She quickly looked out the window before pulling out her suitcases from the hallway. "Where the heck did those come from? Arent i NOT observant today..". Planting  a kiss on Niall's head and a quick hug to Emily and I, Maura heads towards the doorway to leave. "Goodbye kids! Be good and i expect everything to be in perfect shape when i return! I'll make checkup calls every week!" With that she does a quick wave before exiting the house and hopping into the cab. I get Emily off my lap and set her off the ground, putting the dishes in the washer and waiting for the sound of the cab to start up and drive away. As i make my way back towards my seat i hear the scratchy rumbling sound of the car pulling away and then face Niall. He seems a bit awkward, unlike his normal cheery behavior that ive seen on multiple interviews that i've watched with Maura and Emily. Clearing my throat, trying to catch his attention, i say in the cheeriest voice i can muster for this awkward situation

"So Niall. You know anything bout' taking care of an extremely energetic and psychotic eleven year old girl?"
