Speechless

Part 21: Mullingar

Busted?

Alicia's POV

I woke up slowly unsure of where I was. Where the hell... oh okay. I thought Niall would be next to me as I woke up but nothing. The bed was empty. Do I smell food? I quickly got out of bed, put some pants on, and ran down stairs to see Niall and Greg chilling in the living by the fire place.

"About time you got up." Niall getting up to meet me.

"What time is it?"

"12 o'clock." My eyes went huge. Niall wrapped his arms around my waist and looked at me.

"It's 12 o'clock! Why did you let me sleep that long?"

"You looked so peaceful darling." His eyes burning into mine. He peeked around the wall into the kitchen to see what his mom was doing then quickly gave me a peck on the lips.

"Niall hunny, did you get the picture I sent to your phone?" His mum said.

"I did." Niall lead me to sit down with him and he pulled his phone out. Appartenlty, his mom caught us sleeping together and took a picture of us. Busted. It was a cute picture though. My cheek turned red instantly.

"It's okay lovely, she doesn't mind." He smiled that sweet innocent look. I nodded but didn't say a word from being speechless. He bit his lip before going back into conversation with Greg about football or something. He held my hand and I wrapped my arm around his holding his one hand with both of mine. I rested on his shoulder and closed my eyes a bit just resting beside him. I listened to Niall and Greg talk about football... well soccer, trying my best to stay interested in the conversation.

"Alicia sweetie, come here." His mom said behind us. I got up to see her.

"Do you want anything to drink lovely?"

"Um, yeah sure. Water?"

"We have soda love i've made tea."

"I like drinking water." I smiled feeling embarrassed.

"How healthy of you, maybe you'll be a good influence on me son!"

"I'll try my best." I laughed and awkwardly stood there while she made me a glass of water.

"Sit, sit, tell me a bit about yourself." It's strange, I don't really ever become comfortable around people that well... but with her it was like she was my family.

"So tell me about yourself." She said sipping her tea.

"What would you like to know?"

"What's your family like? Who do you live with?"

"Well um, I live with my mom, dad and twin brother."

"Oh you're a twin?"

"I am." I rolled my eyes at the thought. Something special people would think, but it's not really that exciting.

"How old are ya?"

"I'm 16 years old." In my mind I was scared she'd be like 'hell no, you way to young for me son' *slap*. But she was totally calm. Thank god.

"Well Niall hasn't shut up about you since you two meet."

"He hasn't?" I asked.

"Not a bit, he called me once telling me he loved ya. And I was like well I have to meet the girl now don't i?" She laughed just like Niall, making me smile. I heard footsteps and I turned around to see Niall coming to meet with us. He sat beside me and wrapped his arm around me before giving me a kiss on the cheek.
