And To Think This Is Just The Beginning

Chapter 4

I woke up at around 10:30 A.M. I opened my eyes and stretched. then a flood of memories came from last night.

Claire taking me to Simon's party, me singing, walking in on Claire and Simon, and Niall.

Niall

Once I thought of that one name all those bad memories just seemed to disappear. Maybe it was all a dream? what was he even doing at that party? My thoughts were interrupted when my phone went off. I picked up my phone and read it. I had a lot of texts from Claire. Good she should feel bad and I am not in the mood to talk to her. But I saw Niall was the one who had just texted me.

From: Niall the sexy Irishman ;)

Mornin sunshine, I was wondering if you were up to hang out today?

I texted him back.

To: Niall the sexy Irishman ;)

Sure, I'm up for it! where and what time?

From: Niall the sexy Irishman ;) 

I will pick u up at ur house at noon. where...well you'll find out soon enough ;)

I texted him back my address. I wanted to take my time to get ready because if I was going to be seen in public then I was not going to look like a mess! I had about an hour and a half to get ready. I took a shower, when I was done I got out and put frizz control in my hair, then blow dried it with a defuzzer. It was nice looking so I hairsprayed it a little. I went to my bedroom and I picked out my outfit. It was hot outside so I put on dark jean shorts and plain purple v-neck tshirt, then I put on a pair of silver sandals. by then it was 11:30 so I had a little time before Niall got here. I brushed my teeth and then started my makeup. I did a little bit today. I put on foundation, than brown eyeliner, nude eye shadow, a little amount of brown mascara, and clear lip gloss. I put an elastic around my wrist. then I grabbed my purse and phone, hung my sunglasses off my shirt and went downstairs. 

"Goodmorning honey!" I heard my mom say. 

"morning mom" 

"congratulations, you are finally out of high school. I can't wait for your graduation tomorrow! ohh and where are you heading to my dear?" 

"I'm hanging out with....a friend?" I said like a question. 

"well you don't seem to sure on that sweet pea." 

"Well, I met him last night..well in person, and he gave me a ride to that awesome  coffee place I like to get my car because I was sad because me and Claire got in a fight and we traded numbers but he wanted to hang with me today.The thing is, I don't think we could ever be friends if even more than friends." 

"and why is that?" 

"it's complicated." the doorbell rang and my mom gave me a look saying we were talking about this later. I opened the door and there stood Niall looking as sexy as ever wearing tan shorts and a white v neck with his sunglasses over his shirt. his hair was just laid down and to the side naturally. he looked different not like he usually does. Maybe he didn't want to be noticed by many people. I snapped out of my thoughts and motioned him inside my home. He nodded his head and entered. 

"Hey Allie you look beautiful today."

'Calm down Allison, calm down.' I told myself.

I blushed.

"Thank you.You too- I mean you um, look handsome." he laughed at me.

"Thank ya darling'."  He walked over to my mom. I forgot she was still standing there. I followed Niall and introduced them. 

"Mom, this is Niall, Niall this is my mom, Merissa. " 

They both shook hands and smiled at each other.

"Nice to meet you Mam. " Niall said.

"same here Niall. Niall, what?" 

"Horan, Niall Horan" he smiled. 

My moms eyes lit up! Here we go! 

"Oh my gosh aren't you a part of that band that Allie ju-" I cut her off and pulled Niall before she said anything else.

"Well sorry mom we better get going. Love you see you later!" and with that I pulled Niall out of the door. 

"what was that?" Niall chuckled. 

"Trust me, you would not have wanted to hear that."

"I don't know, from what I heard it was getting pretty interesting." 

Niall opened the car door for me and I smiled. He got in on the other side and started the car.

"will you please tell me where we are going?"

"Impatient are we?" He grinned.

"ugh!" I slumped down in my seat. Niall chuckled and turned the radio on as we listened to it the whole drive.

"we're here!" he opened my door and covered my eyes as he lead the way then he let go of my eyes.

"What do ya think?" He asked standing behind me.

"It's absolutely gorgeous."

"Just like you."
