Niall's POV
After Liz and I finished eating our breakfast, we stared arguing about who would wash the plates.
"I should wash them because you did the cooking," she insisted.
"And I should do it because.... I said so," I protested, searching for the right words. I thought about saying 'because this is my flat and you're just the visitor.' But, if you think about it, that kind of sounds mean. I didn't want her to take the wrong impression.
"That isn't a good enough reason," she argued.
"It is for me," I argued back.
"You know, you are like the only guy I have ever met that actually wants to do chores." She stated, surprised of my determination.
As a matter of fact, I don't like to do chores.
"So, you're saying I'm special?" I said, kidding.
"Sure," she said. "If that'll help you sleep at night."
I chuckled.
This girl definitely has a sarcastic side.
We came up to a solution to our arguing. I came up with the idea that we both wash the dishes. But, in the end, I ended up sitting down while Liz did all the work. It's just... So much work. I don't get why I even argued in the first place.
"well, I'm done!" she stated.
"cool. now lets watch a movie on the telly!" i exclaimed, while running to the living room.
By the time I sat down and started scrolling through the channels, Liz came in and sat down next to me.
"Nothing good?" she asked.
"Nope," i answered. "I'll just log on Netflix. Any suggestions for a movie?"
"Nope," she said.
"Don't you remember you have to surprise me with your choice, and top the last one," She said, reminding me of my previous statement.
"Well, I do now," i contested.
So, i started looking through the choices.
"Do you like horror movies?" i asked.
"Hell yeah!" she exclaimed, while i chuckled from her excitement. "Who doesn't"
"definitely not you," i answered.
Finally, i came upon a movie that I have been wanting to see for the longest time now, but haven't had to time to see. What better time than now?
I decided to go and get popcorn from my endless supply.
When i went to look for the popcorn, i saw all those bags of chips.
May be i should get one.
Or two.
Oh what the heck! I'll get three. I mean, what's the harm, am I right? Completely.
I put the popcorn on the microwave. When it was done, i put it in a big bowl. I also grabbed the three bags of chips and headed to the living room.
"you're right on-" Liz said looking up at me.
"I thought you were just getting popcorn." she continued.
"Yeah, I was. But i changed my mind." i said with a smile on my face, and sitting down.
"Yeah, I see.." she said when the movie started. I reached out for the table and pulled it closer to Liz and I, so we could have better access to the food in front of us.
Once again Liz looked very into the movie. Her eyes were glued to the screen in front of us. Just like last time.
I am so grateful that i took the three bags of chips instead of just the popcorn. We have been consuming the food pretty fast. Getting up to get more food just wasn't an option.
It wasn't the laziness. Well, to be honest that was one of the reasons. But, the main reason was because this was one of the movies where if you missed one single detail, no matter how meaningless it may seem, that might result in you not understanding the rest of the movie. Or even something that has already happened. If that even makes sense at all.
Two and a half hours later, the movie ended. It was an amazing choice, if I may say so myself. I think i have proved myself and topped the last movie. Although, it would be hard say, since Liz was literally glued to the screen for both of the movie choices i have made.
"Did you like it?" i asked, knowing the answer.
"Yes, yes I did,"she answered.
Of course.
And of course, i just remembered that today is Sunday. Unfortunately, i would have to take Liz home today. I wish she and I could have spent more time together.
May be we'll run into each other again, though. That's how we met, and that's how we saw each other again. And, the lads and I will also be shooting our latest music video in her school, too.
The odds are on our favor.
But, i can't help but think that may be I'm being too optimistic. Sure, we ran into each other by accident, twice. But, what are the possibilities that's going to keep happening.
Well, I guess for now, i should just wait and see what will happen. May be, we don't need to keep running into each other. We do have each other's cell numbers. We can just plan our meetings instead of letting them happen by accident. That's always an option too. And an easier one, as well.
"Niall, my mum just texted me. She said i have to be home by 4:00." Liz informed me.
"Oh, okay. what time is it now?" i asked, wondering how much time i have left with her.
"erm... 3:24," she answered.
"oh wow... how far is you house?" i asked, to see at what time we should leave.
"erm... about 5 to 10 minutes."
"at what time do you think we should leave?"
"3:50. My mom is really big on being on time. And i want to avoid the long a$$ lecture she'll give me if i'm not there on time." She explained.
"okay, no problem, 3:50 it is," a little dissapointed that she wanted to go sooner rather than later. But, at least she came in the first place.
the rest of the time we had together in my flat, we spen fooling around. We didn't have a single moment of boredom. This is one of the many, many reasons why i enjoy spending time with Liz. Also because, she is one of the few people i know, besides my family that i can actually have a normal conversation with. An ordianry conversation with a normal boy and a normal girl.
