When I woke up Niall was still asleep but I didn’t really want to leave him.  Instead I just snuggled in closer to him and closed my eyes trying to fall back asleep.  Unfortunately it wasn’t long before he woke up too.  Groaning, he stretched out his body and then pulled me in closer sighing.

“Hi!” I cooed as I lifted my gaze to meet his ocean blue eyes.

“Hi” he chuckled, “What time is it?”

“Do I look like a time keeper? I have no idea there isn’t a clock within my view and I think my phone is still in the car.”

“Phone! I almost forgot we have to talk to Paul today!”

“Way to go Niall!”

“Hey now! You didn’t remember either!”

“I’m not the one who scheduled it! When are we supposed to call him?” As soon as the words left my mouth the xylophone like music rang out, disturbing the quiet of the cabin.

“I’m guessing now” he said as he rolled me over to slide out of bed and find his phone.  “Hello?” he answered before turning it on speaker.

“Niall! You were supposed to call ten minutes ago! What happened?” Paul’s voice crackled through the second rate speakers on the phone. 

“Sorry, we were napping.” Niall answered.

“Oh ok.  Go get Kat so I can ask her a few questions.” Paul said.

“I’m right here” I chimed.

“Tell me about this guy that’s threatening you.”

“David Miller he’s like 55ish and a jackass.”

“How violent is he?”

“When he’s sober not generally but when he’s drunk he can get pretty violent yeah.”

“How often does he get drunk?”

“Almost every night.”

“Does he live nearby?”

“No he lives in the states.”

“Is there any way he could get to London?”

“Probably not, he can’t afford anything that costs more than 10 dollars and his priority is to keep beer in the fridge. Whether or not he thinks ‘teaching me a lesson’ is more important than his beer is anyone’s guess.”

“Did his phone call worry you?”

“No but I think it worried Niall.”

“Damn right it worried me!” Niall piped in, “he threatened you.”

“But he’s a bully not a member of the Russian army.” I responded

“The Russian army? How is that even a reference? Like where did that come from?” Niall said making fun of me.

“Because it made sense in my head! Don’t make fun of me!”

“I’ll make fun of you all I want you make fun of me all the time!”

“Right so anyway,” Paul started to get our attention back “Niall I don’t think you have anything to worry about but Kat if you hear from him again let me know.”

“Will do! I chimed

“Thanks Paul!” Niall

We said our goodbyes and hung up with Paul.

“I should probably go take a shower” Niall sighed.

“Yeah…you’re kinda starting to smell” I teased.
