Oceans Apart *ON HOLD*

Chapter Nine:

The muffled sounds of my alarm drag me out of my deep slumber. My mind stays foggy, as I sit up, hearing snores still the room. Memories of the previous night flood my mind. My thoughts are confirmed when I see Niall asleep next to me.

I quickly get up, still wide eyed. I glance at the clock, 6:45. I sigh, not wanting to wake him. I grab my uniform from my dresser, and head into the bathroom. I quietly hop in the shower letting the warm water run down my back.

By the time I get out, the time is already 6:55, almost 7:00 and I hear movement coming from downstairs. Grace must be awake.

Quickly drying off and getting dressed, I take my time doing my hair. I throw my curly hair into a pony tail, I tie it off with the same creme colored ribbon that matches my uniform. A creme colored sweater, and a pair of grey jeans. I throw on my moccasins, grabbing my phone, I head out of the bathroom downstairs where Grace sits drinking her coffee.

"Good Morning Grace." I say with a smile.

"Hey babes, What's up?" She asks casually.

"Oh you know." I laugh, grabbing a pack of hot chocolate out of the pantry.

The sounds of foot steps are heard, and I turn around directing my attention from the hot chocolate to Niall's sleepy figure walking down the stairs.

Grace waggles her eyebrows at me, and I smile rolling my eyes.

"Good morning" Niall says softly yawning,

"Hello, I'm Grace." She says shaking his hand,

"Nice to meet you, I'm Niall." He says politely.

"So what's the game plan?" Grace asks me.

"Well I have to work at 8:00 and don't get out until 3:00." I say nonchalantly sipping my drink.

I see disappointment flash through Niall's eyes but he quickly covers it up with a smile.

"What about you Grace?" I ask.

"Well, I have to go to work at Nandos in about thirty minutes, and I won't be out till close today." She says with a grimace.

I nod.

"Oh Niall, I forgot, give me your phone." I say.

"Why?" He asks.

"Just give me it."

He nods handing me his phone,

I quickly put in my contact information and text my phone, it beeping in my pocket.

New Message From: Unknown.

Hey! c:

New Message To Unknown:

Hey! c:

I quickly add him to my contacts. Handing him his phone. I hear him chuckle.

"Seriously? Charlotte Olivia Loves Goldfish c:?" He asks with a smirk.

"Yupp!" I cheer, grabbing his arm and tugging him out of the house.

"What are we doing?!" He asks.

"Well your going to drive me to work, and hang out with me while I work. No ifs ands or buts about it!" I say with a smile.

He chuckles and gets in the car after me, starting it up and we drove off.
