Shocking Secrets

Chapter 2

Two days after the funeral we were on our way to a lawyer's office to discuss Tim Gregar's last will and testimony.

"I don't have to tell you to behave in this place do I?" Steven asked from behind the wheel.

"You don't HAVE to tell me to behave anywhere, Steven. I'm a grown woman."

"One who acts like a child."

Before I could retort we pulled into the valet driveway.

A young boy opened our doors and took the keys from Steven.

" If you park her in the shade, there will be an extra tip in it for you."

He walked in to join the rest of his family and I sat down in the lobby, not wanting to intrude.

I pulled out my phone hoping I could make the time go faster by taking my mind off of everything. Just as I was unlocking my screen a black Mercedes pulled up to the door, and two men climbed out.

They didn't look familiar at all. As they came closer I realized that the shorter one was from the funeral, the guy with the blue umbrella.

"This where the Gregar family was sposed to meet?" the taller one asked me.

"Right through those doors." I nodded.

"I'll wait out here, since I'm not family." The shorter one said.

Now that he was closer I could see that he had died blonde hair that was growing out and showing his natural color. His accent was from Ireland, where the Gregar's were from. I let my eyes wonder across him and up to his face. He smiled at me showing almost perfectly shaped teeth. But the feature that stood out the most was his ocean blue eyes. They were breath-taking.

"How do you know the family?" he asked me.

"I'm Steven's girlfriend. He was Mr. Gregar's grandson."

He fondly smiled at me. "I've met Steven before. Can't say it was a good meeting. Acted like he had a stick up his ass, that lad. "

Yeah, that's sounded like my boy friend.

"I'm Niall, by the way." he smiled, putting out his hand. " and I don't mean to offend you about your boyfriend."

"I'm Maddie." I took his hand. " and your not telling me anything I don't already know!"

I already knew exactly who Niall was. Niall Horan. 1/5 of pop sensation One Direction. I had out it together somewhere between our hellos and the part where Niall openly admitted my boyfriend was an ass-hole.

" How's the world tour treating you? "

" Ahh, so you know who I am?"

"Not that hard to put together."

We both chuckled and I looked at my phone that was vibrating.

[NEW MESSAGE; STEVEN]

Going slow. Lot of people. Stay put.

I didn't even bother replying before I put my phone away.

" Not worth replying? " He asked.

"Nah."

"Well.... Fancy something to eat?"

"yeah! " I replied. "I'll be happy to get out of this place."
