I've been unpacking for 3 days, and I'm finally finished. I sigh and lay on my bed checking my phone. Hmm... What to do? I could go get something to eat? Yes.
I get up grab my phone, money, and a jacket. Walk down the stairs and tell my mother where I'm going.
"Mom? I'm going to walk to the coffee shop at the end of the street, okay?"
"Sure honey, dont be too long."
"I won't be."
With that I was out of the house and walking into the chilly Ireland air, which was quite like Canada's. It seemed quite cold for Spring, maybe coffee/tea was a good idea.
I was about to pull open the door leading into the coffee shop, but someone beat me to it... A boy. He had blonde hair with brown roots, sparkling blue eyes, and a smile that lit up his entire face. He was beautiful.
I smiled. "Thanks.... uhm?"
"Niall, and you?" He replied in a adorable Irish accent.
"Allie" I answered, walking into the shop.
"You're not from 'round ere are ya?" Niall asked, noticing my different accent.
"I moved here three days ago, from Canada." I replied.
He nodded. Then there was an awkward silence.
"You're not in a rush are ya?" Niall asked, running a hand through his messy hair. I smiled.
"Not at all, why?" I asked smiling.
"Uhm, I was wondering.... Would you like to eat with me?" Niall asked nervously.
I nodded. "Of course, it'd be nice to actually have a friend here." I confessed.
We waited in the line for our coffees and strawberry shortcakes. Niall and I were finding out more and more about eachother per second, including that we both LOVED the strawberry shortcakes here We did stop talking the whole time. I know its early to tell according to I had just met this boy... but I think I'm gaining feelings for him... fast.
As we were walking back to the table with our food, a guy smacked my butt. I turned around, but so did Niall. He glared at the guy, staring him down until he walked away. Putting his arm around my shoulders he led me to one side of the table, then sat on the other. Not going to lie, I blushed when he did that.
Eating our strawberry shortcakes with each others company was amazing. I havent went out with friends since I had moved. Niall was laughing at me for getting whipped cream on my face so I dipped my finger in the dessert and poked his nose, getting it covered in whipped cream.
"Hey now! " He said acting mad.
"Payback! " I managed to say back in between laughing.
" You're going to get it missy!" He said pointing his index finger at me.
"I'm oh so scared Mr.Horan" I joked, causing him to laugh... I loved his laugh it was contageous.
It was now nearly 10 at night, we were having a great time talking, joking, and laughing... until. I got a text that changed my day completely... It was from my abusive ex... Tyler.
