The Brunette

Getting to know each other

Chapter 8(Niall's pov): We sat in that coffee shop for hours, just talking, laughing, joking around. Getting to know each other. I still couldn't let go of what happened about the cups.

When I told her what the cashier said, she faked a laugh so bad it was sad. We both got really quiet for a while. She finally re-asked her previous question: "So, anyway, what are you doing in London, Niall?" Now, most people would ask questions like this just to make conversation, but she seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say.

I think back to her question, "Im going to start college here in the fall, Avernash, have you heard of it?" She takes another sip of her coffee before answering. "No, I haven't, is it a good school?" She asks. "Its the best music school in all of the UK and Ireland." We went on like that. She asked about Avernash a lot. She said she was interested in going there because she loved music. She was in London because America was boring and she wanted to see more of the world.

"Isabella, can I ask you some thing?" I said while tracing the heart on my cup with my thumb. "Yeah?" She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. I had a lot of questions for her. She avoided all questions about her past though. She wouldn't tell me about her family, or what she worked as or anything. I didn't want to seem nosy so I couldn't ask about that. "Can I call you Bella?"

(Isabella's pov): "Isabella is a long name." Niall finished. "Yeah sure." I say nonchalantly. I check my phone for the time. 9:28 "I have to go. Apartment hunting is gonna take forever, you know?" I smile, standing up and taking my purse of the back of my chair. I put the job application papers in my purse. "You're going apartment hunting too?" He asks, standing up.

"Yeah, you want to go together?" I suggest, picking up my coffee. There was only a little left but but Im going to use all the caffeine I could get. Im always so tired because of my Insomnia. Zayn was the same way... I automatically chide myself. I shouldn't be thinking about him. He isn't part of my life anymore and I'll never see him again. I need to just get over him already. Niall brought me back to reality.

"I'd love to." He said, answering my question. "Lets go." I put on what I hope was a care-free smile. He took my hand again and lead me out into the world without Zayn.
