Star Crossed (Nouis)

Chapter 4

The beeping of an alarm the next morning, woke Niall up from his slumber. He groaned loudly, trying to find the off button. After succeeding in turning off the alarm, Niall almost fell back to sleep. Just when he closed his eyes, Liam barged into his room. "Wake up" he screamed jumping, on the blond's bed.

Niall pulled the covers over his head and hissed at his cousin. "Get up Niall" Liam ordered, ignoring Niall's glares. "Your parents want you to tell them all about last night, since you did disappear from the party after like an hour."

"Fine" Niall groaned. "Leave my room and let me get ready."

Niall sat up and stretched. Last night felt like a dream to him, but he knew it was real because he had Louis's number. Niall checked his phone and saw Louis had texted him good morning. He grinned as he typed back a similar message.

Throwing on a pair of black skinny jeans and a tank top, Niall left his room. Liam was waiting outside and led Niall to his parents' office. "What took you so long?" Liam questioned. "Did you even brush your hair or teeth?"

"Shit" Niall exclaimed. "Give me a minute." Liam chuckled to himself and watched his cousin scurry back in his room. A few moments later, Niall emerged with a minty breath and brushed hair. "Better?" Niall asked.

"Better" Liam agreed, trying to contain his laugh. "Now you won't kill everybody with your morning breath."

The two boys walked to the elevator and went to the top floor. The lady at the reception desk sent them right through without even looking up from the computer. "Hello mother and father" Niall greeted, putting as little emotion in his voice as he could.

"Have a seat, Niall" Bob Horan ordered, pointing at the chair next to the desk. "Liam you may leave now. This is a family meeting."

"Thank you for bringing our son up" Maura added, wanting to polite to their nephew. "Niall will come find you when he is done."

Liam nodded his head "it was no problem Mrs. Horan. Niall I'll be in my room." Liam left the office closing the door lightly, so it wouldn't make a sound.

"He is such a good boy" Maura commented. "His parents did a great job of raising him."

"That is because his father is my brother" Bob revealed, giving his wife a cheeky smile. Maura rolled her eyes at her husband. "So Niall" Bob continued, "last night I threw you a huge party to find a boyfriend and what did you do. You hid out on the porch and in the music room the whole night. May I ask why?"

"I met someone father" Niall explained. "He was perfect and we are going out on a date soon."

Maura shrieked with excitement "Thank god he finally found someone. I thought Niall would be single forever."

"Thanks for the confident boost, mom" Niall huffed, crossing his arms.

Mrs. Horan quickly apologized. "What does he look like? Is he nice?"

"He is smaller than me and adorable. He has brown hair and light blue eyes. He seems nice, but I have only known him for one night" Niall described. He could never forget what Louis looked like. It was forever stuck in his brain. "And his name is Louis" Niall added.

"Well you need to go on a date with him right away" Bob ordered. "You must find out if he is the one. The faster you find the one the better it will be."

"For who, me or the company?" Niall questioned.

"Both" Bob answered, beginning to gather his paperwork. He needed to get back to work. "You are dismissed now Niall. Your mother and I have work to do. Call up reception if you need us."
