Waiting For Love

Close Your Eyes

NATALIE'S POV

I shot up in bed. Today's my date with Niall. I pulled a long, flowing green dress from my closet, changing my mind as soon as I remembered where the date was taking place. Me and Niall were going to play mini golf. Instead of the gorgeous dress I grabbed a pair of pink, high waisted shorts and a red top to match. I reached into my drawers and pulled out a pair of black stockings. I put the clothes on the bed then I walked over to the couch Jasmine was sleeping at and I poked her.

"Jasmine?" I say cautiously. I poked her again, testing if she was asleep.

"I know she's sleeping because if she wasn't she would probably slap me for poking her." I said to myself, laughing. After making sure she was asleep I took a long, hot shower.

I came out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. The room seemed to be full of steam from the hot shower, reminding me of a sauna. I tried to relax myself, breathing deeply while closing my eyes. Afterwards, I picked up my hairbrush and began to untangle my messy, damp hair. When it was all untangled I walked out of the bathroom and checked if Jasmine was still sleeping. I just wanted her to relax from the busy weekend and sleep in.

"Jasmine?" I ask her softy, "are you pretending to be asleep so you don't have to buy me lunch?"

I stare at her with wide eyes. She gives up and smiles, trying to stop her eyes from opening. I laugh loudly and pull the sheets off of her.

"I knew you were awake!" I smiled. She sits up and looks at me, laughing happily.

"Yeah, sorry." She says, giggling.

"When did you wake up?" I ask her, hoping she didn't hear me in the shower.

"When you were in the shower. You are a good singer!" She snickers, falling back into the couch. I stare at her with my hands on my hips.

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry. I'll buy you lunch tomorrow." She sincerely apologizes, sitting back up in the couch.

"Why?" I question her.

"Aren't you and Niall having lunch or something?" She reminds me. I check the time. 8:26.

"Well mini golf starts at 9 and ends around 12 so I might be back for lunch." I smile to her.

"Let's hope not." She smiles. I laugh loudly before heading into my room. I grabbed my clothes off the bed and went into the bathroom to change. I got changed into the clothes and stared at myself in the mirror.

"Jas, does this look ok?" I ask her loudly. She walks into the bathroom and studies my outfit.

"That looks so good! Niall will think you look absolutely amazing, trust me." She says, smiling at me. I smile back at her.

"Breakfast?" I ask her.

"Bring it on." She laughs. I make us a quick breakfast. We slowly finish our breakfast, unaware of the time.

"Niall's coming at 9!" I say, almost forgetting. I quickly check the time. 8:43. I haven't even styled my hair. I run to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and smoothed my hair with the comb. I hesitate and rush to my room, grabbing a cute pair of converses.

"Don't worry, Nat. You look great." Jasmine assures me from the living room.

"I think I'm ready now." I tell her, gathering my things up and putting them in a bag.

"Don't worry, I'll clean your house before you come back." She tells me before adorably winking. I walk over to Jasmine and give her a huge hug.

"Thanks, Jas." I say. She nods to me as I leave the apartment. I walk into the elevator. The elevator music is bland yet calming. I reached the ground floor and saw a black car outside, most likely Niall's. I slowly approach it.
