secret admirer II

6

The next day, Rose headed out on her own to the mall.

She went around each store to see if there was anything to her liking. Niall did message her a few times asking where she was, but she just wanted some alone time. He eventually called her when she was in the middle of changing out of some clothes she was trying on. Scavaging through her pocket, she finds her phone and grabs it quickly. "Hello?"

"Rose? Hi." Niall responds.

"Niall--" she stops herself mid-sentence to pull her pants up. "I'm sort of busy."

"Oh," is all he can say. "I was just wondering if you'd like to hang out later on?"

Rose sighs. "I-I'm sort of at the mall right now. And I'm in the middle of um changing."

Niall sighs on the other side of the phone. "I can meet you there."

"It's fine, Niall. You dont have to--"

"Is something wrong?" Rose stops what shes doing. "Is there are a reason as to why you dont want to hang out with me today? Is it because of what happened last night? I'm sorry Rose--"

"Niall! It's not that. It's just we've been seeing each other everyday and--don't you think that we need some time for ourselves?" There's a pause. "I'm not saying that I'm sick of seeing you because that's not true, I would just like some time to be alone and relax. I think you should consider it as well."

There's a longer pause on both ends before Niall responds. "Y-Yea, sure. Have fun." Before Rose could responds, he hangs up on her.
