The Business Trip

Meltdowns and Kentucky Fried Chicken

We pulled up to the hotel, parked the car and headed to our room.

"Clean up Kate. Then we will talk." Dad said in a clipped tone.

"Okay." I respond, equally as harsh.

In the shower, I start thinking. What did I even do? It's not like I meant for a whole plate of spaghetti to fall on me, ruining my favorite outfit. "Mom, I wish you were here." I sigh as I put my now spaghetti-free hair in a bun and put a pair of pjs on. Just as I was about to open the door, I heard talking.

"...yes..um...that is tempting...she's not an issue...well, sure I mean I'm sure I could convince her...well even if I couldn't she'd have to listen...you let me handle that...by tomorrow...mhmm...you too...I love you G-"

"Dad! How could you?" I scream bursting out of the bathroom.

"Katie! Hun! Lemme explain."

"No! I don't want to hear it." I yelled, picking up my phone and purse and marched out the door, slamming it for good measure. Ignoring the tears streaming down my face, I ran to room 990. I viciously pounded on the door with both my fists when I got there. A surprised Zayn opened the door. "Whoa Katie! What happened? Come in."

"Where's Niall?" I chocked and started hiccupping.

"He's in his room. Want me to take you to him? You're in no state to walk yourself."

"Sure." I hiccupped.

He put his arm around my waist and I wrapped one arm around his shoulders and half walked, half dragged me to Niall's room. Zayn knocked and a sleepy, half naked Niall opened the door.

"Hey Za-Katie! Oh shit!!!! What the Fuc-dgecakes happened?" Instantly all hints of sleepiness vanished and caring overprotective boyfriend Niall came out.

"I dunno man. She came pounding on my door looking for you so here we are."

"Come in Katie and tell me what happened."

I let Zayn give me to Niall and shut the door before collapsing on the bed. I just sobbed into a pillow while Niall rubbed my back until I was out of tears. When I chocked out my last garbled cry, Niall spoke. "So do you want to tell me what happened or do you want food first?"

"Food please. I never did get any dinner."

He laughed. "Oh yeah! I forgot about that. Whatdoya want? Spaghetti?"

I glared at him.

"O-kay sorry. McDonald's?"

"Ewwwwww. Gross! No way hose~"

"OK I guess since I'm horrid at guessing you should just tell me."

"Hmmmmm...Is there a KFC here?" I asked hopefully.

"How should I know? I don't live here." Niall said.

"Thank you for all your help Captain Obvious." I said sarcastically

We found the number (turns out there are KFCs in Australia! Who knew?) and I ordered 3 buckets of original chicken and a family-sized mashed potatoes and gravy. 15 minutes later, Niall paid the delivery guy and we feasted on grease-laden fried chicken and mashed potatoes for half an hour. After we stuffed our faces, Niall turned to me. "So, wanna talk?"

"In a minute. But first you should know that you have gravy on your nose." I giggled

"Aw shi-oot. Do you have a napkin?"

"Let's not waste trees." I smirked, feeling quite brave at the moment.

"What do you-" I cut him off by kissing his nose. "Oh." he muttered after I pulled away. He looked away for a minute then looked at my lips for a couple seconds.

"What?" I asked.

"Oh, you have some grease on your lips, but don't worry I'll get it for you, you know cuz we're not wasting trees and all." Niall leaned in and before I could protest, a pair of warm soft lips were on mine. Sparks flew as I kissed back. Pretty soon it turned into a full on make out session. My phone went off a couple times but I didn't care.
