Running into Him

Chapter 1: Starbucks

I woke up to the sound of my alarm

going off at 8 am. I slowly opened my eyes and turned off the beeping of my alarm. I uncovered my blankets from my body, and put my feet on the ground. My hardwood floors were cold, and it sent shivers throughout my whole body. I finally stood up from my bed and walked over to my window and saw that it was snowing. I smiled to myself, and then walked out of my room. As I walked down the stairs I smelled freshly baked cookies. I walked into the kitchen seeing my mom taking out a batch of cookies. She turned around and saw me "Good morning beautiful" she said smiling at me. "Morning mom." I said back. "Do you want a cookie?" She asked. "Sure" I said as I picked up a soft cookie from one of our Christmas plates. "What are you planning on doing today?" she asked me. " I think I'm going to go to the mall and get Christmas gifts." I answered her. "Sounds fun. Do you want me to go with you?" She asked. "I think I'll just go by myself today." I said to her and smiled. "Alright." She said back. I then walked back up stairs, and got in the shower. I blow dried my hair, and then curled it. For my make up I went with a more natural look. I opened the bathroom door and made my way back to my room and opened my closet. I tried on about 3 outfits before I found the right one. I had picked out white skinny jeans, a red oversized sweater, and my tan Uggs. I walked downstairs, and grabbed my car keys, and my purse and headed out the door. After driving 25 from my house to the mall I was finally there. I got out of my car, and slipped on a patch of ice. I started laughing like an idiot and people were staring at me, so I got up and walked into the mall. I was still a little tired and it was only 10:50 so I decided to get Starbucks. "What can I get you?" The girl at the register asked "I'll have a grande iced caramel macchiato." I said politely. "Will that be all?" She asked. "Yup" "that will be $4.25." She told me. I handed her the money and waited for my drink. "GRANDE ICED CARAMEL MACCHIATO!" a man behind the counter yelled. I walked up to get it, and then walked out of Starbucks. I turned the corner and someone who was walking a little too fast bumped into making my drink spill all over me and causing me to fall over. "fuckkk." I said quietly. "I'm so sorry!" A boy with an Irish accent said. I looked up to see a concerned boy looking at me with his blue eyes. "It's alright." I told him. He reached his hand out to help me up, and I grabbed it. I grabbed a few napkins and wiped off my sweater. "Can I buy you a new drink?" The boy asked. "Uhh sure. That would be great." I told him "what would you like?" He asked me. I was really cold now that I had an iced drink spill all over me so I told him I wanted a peppermint hot chocolate. He came back 5 minutes later with my drink. "Thanks." I said with a soft smile. "It was no problem, after all I spilled your first drink!" He said. "I never got your name?" He said to me. "Sami." I replied. "And yours?" I asked. "Niall." He told me. The name sounds familiar. Oh! " you're from one direction right?" I asked. "Yeah." He said while chuckling. He was really cute, I thought to myself. I probably looked like an idiot smiling at him. " what are you doing here?" I asked him. "I was just out buying my family, bandmates, and my girlfriend gifts for Christmas." He told me. Girlfriend? I questioned. Yeah, someone that famous and rich was bound to have a girlfriend. Shes probably drop dead gorgeous, I thought to myself. Wait why do I care? "What about you?" He asked me. "Just getting Christmas presents for my family and friends too." I told him. "Busiest time of the year!" He said laughing. I laughed with him and nodded. "Well I better get going" I told him. He looked a little sad but then smiled. "Can I get your number? You seem like a really cool, calm girl. I don't see many of those girls around anymore." He said chuckling. "Uh yeah." I told him. I put my number into his phone and he put his into mine. "I'll talk to you soon!" He said walking away. "Yeah!" I said back.
