CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Chloe's POV:
When I arrive at Nando's I don't see Niall, but I do see a lot of excited girls. I walk towards the back of the restaurant and I feel someone pull me into the kitchen.
"hi." I see Niall. he whispers.
"We have to go."
"Where to?" I ask
"where do you want to go?" he asks and I really don't know.
"I don't know. you pick."
"okay, um, let's just go to another Nando's. I know one that's right down the street."
"okay, let's go." he grabs my hand and without thinking I don't refuse. We run down the street and I can see flashes of cameras and I try to block my face. Niall let's go of my hand and guides me by the shoulder. We run around to the back ally and we come through the back door.
"Hi, Niall." a tall man with short black hair greets Niall.
"hi Scot." he says smiling. We let's both of us in and Niall guides me to a room with a round table and refrigerated in the back corner. The break room.
"Are we eating in the break room?!" I ask kind of disappointed.
"It's either this or turdy screaming girls." he says gesturing for Scot to come in the room. I laugh at how he says thirty then continue to talk.
"fine, the food better be good." I say sitting down.
"don't worry, it will be." he says sitting next to me. Scot walks in and takes out order. When we writes all of it down he looks at me.
"And who might you be to Niall?" he says with his eyebrow raised.
"oh , I'm just a friend. I just meet him a couple days ago at his dad's store." I says nervously.
"oh! he brings all of them here." he says winking at me.
"Scot!!" Niall says blushing. "that's not true."
"yeah it's not, he mostly takes them out to the actual restaurant. you must me special!" he says winking again.
"oh, um, well I have a boyfriend so this won't be getting to serious." I say.
"ohhh! well I hope this all works out. I'll be out with your food in a minute." he says winking once again which is three times to many.
"sorry about that. he's just annoying." Niall says and I laugh.
"it's okay! it happens."
"yeah so who's your boyfriend?" he asks.
"oh um, his names Joe. I've just started...you know... being his girlfriend a couple days ago."
"oh..." he looks at the ground.
"yeah... do you have a spouse?" I say in a awkward voice. he laughs and continues to talk, "no, not at the moment."
"oh I'm sorry about that." I say feeling quite terrible.
"I actually don't care! I'm super happy!" he says with a really cute smile.
"good! you shouldn't need anyone to me happy!" I say smiling back. The whole rest of the lunch we talk about various subjects like our favorite things. When he ate his face got covered in food and just by habit I wiped it off. While I wiped his face his deep blue green eyes stared into mine and they followed my eyes as I sat back down. To break the awkwardness my phone bings with a text.

Joe💞:
hi, when are you going to be back?

I look at the time at the top of the screen and realize it's already 5 I'm the afternoon.
"soon, I didn't even realize the time!" I reply.

"Niall, I have to go soon."
"why is that?" he asks.
"I actually don't know. one second."

"Why do you need me to be there?" he responds right away.

Joe💞:
I just want to cuddle!

I can feel myself blushing.
"um, I just have to um, hang with my friends before I go back home." which is half true.
"home? where do you really live?" Niall says with a frown.
"oh California. But I'll probably just go back to London with Joe for a while before leaving completely."
"then why are you here in the first place?"
"my friend, Connor, was doing a colab on YouTube with Joe."
"oh!" he says nodding his head slowly.
"So I'll see you soon?" I say.
"yes! of course! shall I walk you out? or home?" he says putting his hand out.
"sure!" I grab his hand and he lead me out the door he runs in front of me and grabs my hand again to guide me down the ledge at the door. He try's to walk me back to the house but we get lost and I have to call an uber. When we get to Zalfies house I step out of the car and wave goodbye to Niall. I realize I'm actually a couple blocks away from the house and just decide to walk. I text Joe.

'I'm almost home! ready to cuddle?❤️'

no response. I don't take mind of it and continue walking. When I get to the house I open the door and yell
"IM HOME!" I don't hear a response.
"hello?!" I yell again.
"IM IN HERE BABE" I hear joe yell from the cozy room. I walk in and drop everything.
A tall, buff, man is standing over Joe who is tied up on a chair holding a glass vase over his head.
"don't do anything. just follow me or I smash this vase on his head." the man speaks in a low voice.
"can he come with me?" I say pointing to go.
"whatever. just don't call for help." he says unwrapping Joe and holding the vase in front of joes face. I run to him and grab his hand.
"follow me." the man repeats and we follow him into the dark red soccer mom van that is parked in the neighbors driveway.
