These Things I've Done

Chapter Two~Maybe

We got home later that night after taking the short train ride back to Mullingar. Hadley fell asleep on my lap with her new stuffed monkey she got.

I changed her into her pajamas, trying not to wake her up. She was an extremely heavy sleeper. Wonder where she got that from......

After I put Hadley into our bed, I waked over to our dresser. Before I pulled anything out, I slid off my jeans and slid my hand into the back pocket.

"Why would you want ME to call YOU?" I whispered to myself. I heard Hadley shuffle around in the bed so I decided to keep my thoughts to myself.

'He's just so perfect', I thought,'there's no way he meant to put this into my bag... He had to have meant to put it into bag of the lass in front of us,' I don't even remember clearly what happened next.

I called it. I called the number on the napkin. It was 10 pm, but I called the number.

It rang for a while, and I slipped out of our room. I rand quietly to the lounge and sat on my brown couch.

"Hello?" The man answered.

"Hi....uh... Is this... Niall?" I could barely breathe. He even sounded beautiful.

"Uh, yeah. Can I ask who this is?"

"It's uh, Aimee. From Nandos earlier today?" I didn't expect him to know who I was, but I heard him let out a sigh. It sounded almost like a sigh of relief.

"I didn't think you were gonna call..." He sounded like he'd just gotten out of one of those scenes from a really cheesy rom-com movies where the girlfriend was giving her boyfriend the cold shoulder.

"Well, I did." I tried to let out a casual chuckle. It came out more of a snort. Can you say 'awkward'?!

"And I'm glad!" He started out,"I wasn't joking about what I said on the note either..."

"Well, it's hard to believe for me." I decided that I was going to be honest with him from the get go, and not hide anything. If he truly liked me, he'd accept all of me. Not just parts.

"What do you mean love?" He responded.

"I mean I'm insecure, AND I have a lot of trust issues. The men that have come and go in my life aren't really trustworthy." Wow. That made me sound like a prostitute.

"Well, Aimee, you should know that I don't lie unless it gets me out of trouble." He chuckled. I returned the laughter and we sat in silence before I broke it again.

"So the little girl that was with me today, that's my daughter." I'm gonna scare him away with my daughter if I don't with my mental problems.

"She's adorable," he said. What? No! Go away!

"Well, thank you," I quickly blurted out. I was shocked. Most guys completely backed off once they learned Hadley was my kid,"she just turned three last month. The time flies, doesn't it?"

"Time really does fly! So um, hey, why don't we hang out sometime soon? We could meet up at a park somewhere with Hadley. Get some ice cream? That'd be fun." He started rambling about things we could do; we as in Me, him, and Hadley.

Maybe this guy is worth keeping. Obviously if he wants to hang out with me AND my kid, he must have SOME feelings. Right?

"Aimee? Are you there?" He asked. I'd been caught.

"Yeah, sorry. Uhh, Hadley woke up from a bad dream and needed me to get her some water." I made up an excuse as quickly as possible.

"Alright, well. Will I see you guys at Oakdale Creek on Saturday at 2?" He asked. Oakdale was a short trip by bus, and Hadley loved it there. We agreed to meet at two and 'play' at the park and get some ice cream after.

"Cool, well I'll see you love." There they go, the shivers.

"Alright, bye." I hung up as quick as I could.

Emily and Aria were coming over ASAP.

--------------------A/N--------------------

HOLY CRAP SO ME AND MY FRIEND ASHLEY((She's the character Emily in this fanfic)) WENT TO SEE EMBLEM3 LIVE A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND WE WERE LITERALLY SO CLOSE TO MEETING WES IT WASMT EVEN FUNNY OK THE ONLY REASON WE DIDN'T IS BECAUSE THIS INSANE LADY CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND TOLD US TO GO BACK TO OUR SEATS.

Also, some of you might watch Pretty Little Liars, and honestly I couldn't come up for names for my two best friends (in real life and in the series) Ashley and Kylie, so I texted Ashley and told her to give me names or I would name her character Gertrude, thus Emily and Aria came about. Plus I've always love those names.

Anyway! Comment what you think will happen between Aimee and Niall. Will Niall back down when he learns about Aimee's past?! :o looks like you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find outttttttttt! Lol

Love yous!
