Chapter 2
Hello Mullingar!
"Sweetheart it's time to get up"
"5 more minutes Scarlet" I whine
"Skyler wake up" I hear someone laugh
I jolt up to Chase pushing my shoulder gently and laughing. I join in laughing. "We are about to land" he says still partially laughing. "Oh sorry" I sigh and giggle.
The plane lands and Chase grabs his bag as I wait to get out. "Would you like to get some coffee or tea?" He asks blushing. It is THE cutest thing when he blushes! I giggle again "I'd love to". He smiles genuinely and I do the same. We grab our bags and stop at a small cute coffee shop at the airport.
"I will have just a black coffee" he says to the women, "what do you want Skyler?" He asks. "I can pay for myself", I hate when people pay for me, I love the offer but I always try to recuse, I don't want to come across as a mooch. "I insist" he pushes. "I will have a decaffeinated orange pekoe tea please" I smile at him and then the lady. "Also two muffins please" Chase asks the lady. He pays and we get our drinks and take a seat at a small table. "Thank you" I smile, "it's the least I could do" he replies. We keep up small chatter and eat our muffins and drink our drinks, we throw away our trash and I dial a taxi.
We walk outside, "that's my ride there, it was really good to meet you Skyler!" He chimes "call me sometime, yea?" He smirks, "yeah for sure" I smile back just as my taxi arrives, we go our separate ways and as I drive out of the airport I get a text.
*Chase;)*
Hey gorgeous,
Tell me when you get to your place! Ok? :*
He is so cute!
*me*
Will do<3
He is just so sweet! I laugh at our convo and slide my phone into my pocket, I take out some money for the taxi and hand it to the man as we stop at the wonderful apartment building. It looks like a 5 star hotel! It's even nicer then in the pictures! I grab the key to my apartment they mailed me and open up the first doors to actually get in the building. I go to the elevator and hit floor 20, the top floor, I may have spoiled myself with one of the nicest places? The one across the hall is nicer but taken! I hope my neighbour is nice?
The elevator door dings and I get out. I woke to my room and put my key in the door knob. I'm filled with excitement and fear! I can feel the freedom I already have! I open my doors and my eyes widen! The place is....gorgeous! Never have I seen a place so nice before! I enter hearing my feet boom on the dark hard wood floor. I walk into the kitchen not realizing I left the door open. The kitchen has granite counters and nice black glass cabinets, a huge fridge, and all new appliances.
"You must be the new neighbour" the most wonderful Irish accent books through my doorway. I panic in surprise and pick a pen off the counter and throw it his way, my anxiety over reacting, he dodges it and I hear it smack the hallway wall. The guy chuckles, "ninja reflexes" he laughs. He has the most charming laugh. I look over to find the most adorable and handsome face. His hair is blonde and pushed up to the side, I don't have my glasses on so I'm too far to catch his eye colour, though he has the most wonderful smile. His perfect white teeth, and pink lips. His grin goes ear to ear.
"I'm Niall" he smirks, he must have noticed me staring, he is well built if I don't say so myself! "I-I'm Skyler" I stutter, still have the anxiety flow through me "sorry about the pen, I didn't realize I left the door open", he laughs at my remark. "It's fine, you have amazing reflexes, I'm your neighbour by the way, I live next door, we are the only two on this floor!" He smiles with that beautiful smile.
My phone vibrates in my pocket, shit I forgot to text Chase. Chase is calling me right now, probably worried that I got lost or something. "Sorry can I take this?" I ask Niall politely and he nods with a smile. I pick up the phone.
"Hello" I say
"Hey it's Chase, I just wanted to make sure you were ok?" He sounds genuinely concerned
"Yeah I got here a couple of minutes ago" I laugh
"Ok good, do you like your place?" He asks
"Yeah! I love it! It's exquisite!" I chime.
"That's great, get comfortable and text me" I can hear his smile
"Ok bye" I smile and hang up.
Niall is still sitting in the door way with a goofy, but adorable smile! "You can come in!" I laugh, he does, he sits on the bar stool by the kitchen island. "So where ya from, you have an accent?" His accent echoes through the room, "I'm from Canada!"I smile widely. "Really? That's so cool! I always wanted to go to Canada!" I laugh at his remark and he questions me. "There isn't much reason to go" I laugh again and he joins in, "what made you come to Ireland?" He is laughing now, "I really like it here!" I smile and he does back.
After talking for a bit, it's now 5 pm and I haven't unpacked anything. He most have read mind because as I'm thinking this, "I will let you unpack, wanna go for dinner at 7:30?" He looks nervous, does he mean like a date? Or just being neighbourly? "Like a date?" I smirk, he looks up shyly and nods, I giggle, first day here and I already have a date request, Ireland: you are good to me! I agree on his date and he smiles and leaves me to unpack. My boxes are km the living room and I start unpacking them.
