That next morning, I had to get up earlier than usual. I had to open the bakery today. I quickly showered, I ended up in my skin tight blue skinny jeans and my Ramones shirt. I smiled and messed with my hair a bit. It wasn't going to be tamed any time soon, so I just gave up. I slipped on my white converse and grabbed my phone before making my way to the Bakery. I made it there the same time my boss, Kelly, got there.

She smiled warmly at me, I quickly returned it. She unlocked the door and turned in the lights. She made her way to her office. I just started cleaning everything and setting everything up. By time I was done, the bakery was needing to open. So I switched the close sign to open and stood behind the counter, waiting for the customers to come.

It took two, almost three hours for the customers to come in. I was too busy to notice Niall walking in, but I did smell his scent pretty quickly. A smile quickly grew on my face. We were soon the only ones again. It had to be about 1 when we were.

"Harry!" I heard Kelly calling out for me. It caught Niall's attention because he watched me walk to the door of her office. She was quickly putting her coat and scarf on.

"Yes, ma'am?" I asked her. She looked me.

"I need you to close tonight, Harry. I have to get home, my husband called. Something has happened." She explained to me while handing me the keys.

"I'm truly sorry to hear about that. I will be sure to lock this place up." I told her with a genuine smile. She smiled back and rushed out the door. I turned and walked back behind the counter, leaning against it. I had my elbows on the counter with my head in my hands.

"Harry?" I heard Niall's sweet Irish accent call out for me. I looked up and smiled at him.

"Yes?"

"Can I please have a cup of tea and one of those pastries you had given me yesterday?" He asked me. I nodded my head and got to work. When I had his stuff all ready and everything, I walked over to him ans gave him what he requested. I had also added my signature smile. He sent me a shy smile. I walked back over to the counter.

I looked at the clock on my phone and saw that it was going on 2. My lunch was at 2. So I turned and started to make me some food. I had everything that I wanted together by my lunch time. I had a Styrofoam cut with a lid full of animal blood and a small sandwich. Vampires can eat human food and drink human drinks. Though, they have to at least drink some sort of blood once a day to stay healthy. I turned back to the counter and was about to take a bite of my sandwich.

"Would you like to join me?" I heard Niall ask. I looked up and caught his blue eyes staring at me. His laptop was shut and pushed away from him.

"Would I be intruding?" I asked.

"Not since I asked you to." He told me with a chuckle. I grinned and grabbed my stuff. I sat down across from him. I started to nibble on my sandwich, feeling really uneasy this close to him.

"Why are you always on your computer?" I asked him, after I had taken a drink of the blood. When the blood hit my teeth, my fangs came out. I tried my best to hid them.

"I take some of my Uni. classes online." He told me. I nodded my head, telling him I understood. "Do you go to Uni.?" He questioned. I had just taken a bite of my sandwich.

"No, I don't. I kind of don't have the money for it. Since I live by myself and only have this for a job." I told him, shrugging, like it was no big deal. "What's your major?" I asked him.

"Sound engineer. I really like music." He told me. I nodded my head.

"Do you sing or play an instrument?" I asked him, wanting to know all about him.
