Tough Decisions

Mystical Rose

We arrived at a small bed and breakfast called Mystical Rose. The place was gorgeous with a beautiful garden in the front yard and had an amazing vibe to it. Niall knew about this all too well. He opened the door and yelled, "Noreen I'm back!" And with that a crazy little old lady ran from the kitchen and pulled him into a hug. "Oh, I've missed you so much! How has tour been? And the boys?" she asked him.

"I missed you too and tour has been an adventure especially with how crazy the boys are. But I want you to meet a few important people to me. This is Mr. Gallagher." he pointed to my dad and smiled. He stepped forward and shook her hand and said, "Its lovely to meet you." "And this is Mrs. Gallagher." Niall said. "Your garden is lovely!" mum said. Noreen smiled, "It's a pain in the ass takin' care of though."

"This is their son, David." he added. My brother smiled and waved. "And this last person is very special to me. I know you will love her! Her name is Lauren. She is an Irish dancer-" And before I knew it Noreen pulled me into a hug. It took me by surprise, but I hugged her back instantly. She felt like a grandmother to me. "Dear I use to dance many a years ago. I danced for Michael Flately himself!" I instantly envied this women.

"Congratulations! That is amazing! Seriously, I have met one other Irish dancer that danced with Michael Flately. His name is John Srour and he has a band called Irish Blessing and he is now on America's Got Talent in a group called HammerStep. He gave me courage about the All-Ireland Competition, which is why we are here!" I blabbed on.

"Well look at that! I wish you the best of luck deary!" she told me. I smiled a 'Thank You' and looked up at Niall. He smiled down at me and I heard Noreen gasp. I looked at her in fear and asked her if she was okay, but she was smiling. "Niall, you like this girl here, don't ya?" she asked. "Yes, I do." he said while smiling at me. I felt myself go crimson and hid my face in his chest.

"Noreen, do you have rooms available for tonight? We would need three." Niall asked her. She smiled, "There is always room for you here. Let me show you to your rooms." She led us and opened up 3 rooms and let us decide for ourselves who was sleeping where. My parents walked into one room and shut the door and my brother did the same. "Well, um, I guess were sharing a room haha." I laughed to Niall. "Guess so huh? Well, lets get settled and then I wanna take you somewhere." he laughed. I nodded in agreement as we made our way into the room.
