Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

13++Screw the Tomato Sauce

Niall's POV

I stepped out of my car and began walking quickly into the market to escape the cold winter air. I put my hood up so no paps would see me but that clearly didn't work when I suddenly saw a million flashes of light directed towards me. I managed to avoid the people and found my way into the market.

"Hello," a cheerful red-headed employee said to me when I walked in. "Need help finding anything?"

I was planning on just finding the tomato sauce by myself, but it'll be much quicker to ask this woman for help.

"Yeah, um, do you know where I can find tomato sauce?" I asked her.

"Yes, just turn right down that isle and it should be in that area. If you need anything else, I'll be here." she told me and I nodded.

"Thank you." I said and followed her directions down the isles.

I kinda regret telling them I'd go to the store and get the sauce. I'd much rather be home right now and just watching t.v. or something but you can't always get what you want.

I want, I want, I want, but that's crazy, I sang in my head. Do all singers silently sing their own songs in their head? Eh, probably not.

After what seemed like forever, I finally found the tomato sauce and grasped it in my hand. I raised my fist in the air for victory but immediately put it down once I realized how stupid I must've looked.

"Are you Niall Horan?" I heard a voice ask. I turned around and was face to face with a girl who looked to be around 10 or 11 years old.

"Yeah, and you are?" I asked politely when in reality, I just wanted to pay for the sauce and get home.

"I'm Kayla." She replied and then the fangirling began. "I love you so much and I've always wanted to meet you! But I never ever thought I'd meet you at a supermarket!"

"You know what they say, 'Amazing things happen in strange places.'" I told her.

She furrowed her eyebrow and said, "I don't think I've heard that one before."

"Yeah, I just made it up. You can quote me, if you want." I laughed and she joined in.

"Can I please get a picture with you?" Kayla asked.

"Of course!" I smiled and leaned in for a picture while she took out her phone.

I wrapped one arm around her shoulder and bent down to her level. We both smiled and she snapped the picture. Kayla wanted to take another one so I made a funny face and she was giggling while she took the picture. That picture will probably be blurry.

"It was nice meeting you, Kayla." I said.

"Nice meeting you too! I love you Niall." she said and gave me a hug good-bye.

"I love you too." I said sweetly, hugging her back and then she ran back to her mom.

I made my way to the check out line and stopped behind some guy that smelt like cigarettes. Not my best hour, but I'll only be here for a couple more minutes.

I picked up a magazine next to me and skimmed the cover. There was something about Ross Lynch and his band with his siblings, something about Kim Kardashian's baby North West, and then there was a picture of Perrie and her engagement ring. I smiled at the picture, remembering the glow on Zayn's face when he came home after he asked her. He was smiling like crazy and just couldn't stop.

I set the magazine back on the rack and the guy in front of me moved up in the line. I stuck my head up above the rack and looked around to see if there were any shorter lines. When I came across isle 2, I found something that caught my eye.
