A story about a shy girl who turned into a successful business woman who ends up having to work with a man who used to be a jock who used to pick on her.
I open the door to Niall's charming face. "Why are you here Niall?" I ask extremely confused. I am completely baffled as to why he would follow me here. "Just here." Niall answers with a smirk. Why the hell... "Stalker much?" I sarcastically retort. Why in the world would he follow me back here? "Yeah, actually I am." He tells me chuckling. I give him an extreme confused/ freaked out look. 'Kidding, I was actually here to ask you a question. Are you Maci's friend?" He asks fishing for an answer. "Yeah, she is my best friend actually. Why?" I ask letting him in and grabbing out my cell to text her. I close the door behind him and send her a quick message.
*Text Convo*
Ella: Why is there a man in my house asking if you and I are friends?
Maci: I'm sorry, what is his name?
Ella: Niall Horan, my boss for next year, and also my ex-bully from High School!
Maci: Oh that's my boyfriends best friend. I forgot to tell you! We are going to make this when you meet my boyfriend and his best mate as well.
Ella: It would have been nice to be informed that I was going to have company. Plus why is he here so early?
Maci: I am not sure.. Wait did you say he was going to be your new boss?
Ella: Yeah that is the new company I have to work for, why?
Maci: My boyfriend is the co-CEO there.
Ella: Oh, so your boyfriend is Harry Styles my other ex-bully.
Maci: I am so sorry love, maybe people change?
Ella: Maybe...
Maci: Harry and I will be there in about an hour think you can manage? When I get there you and I can talk, okay?
Ella: I guess..

I look up form my phone to see Niall lounging on my couch. "Comfy?" I ask. "Yeah actually I really am, you've got a nice flat by the way." He says with a smile. "Thank you, I guess." I shrug. I am just so thrown off by all this being thrown at me all at once. " I've got to go to my room to change really quick." I say in quite a rush. "Alright, I will stay my happy bum right here." He smirks up at me. I walk over to my room and close it behind me in a hurry. I strip out of my business clothes, and change into jeans and a cute top.

I do my hair differently, than my boring old business bun.I also start to do my makeup, all done in about 30 minutes time. I look out my bedroom window into the city. The city is so incredibly beautiful during Christmas time! I live so close to Rockefeller Center. Maci should be on her way about now. I literally take forever to get ready. I guess I should get back out there.
I open the door and see Niall standing right outside it. "Umm.. May I help you?" I say my voice laced with attitude. "Yeah, uhm I was wondering if you had some comfortable clothes I could wear?" He says in a soft tone. "Yeah I guess I could let you wear some of my ex's clothes." I inform him. "Okay, thank you so much!" He says with an appreciative smile. I open my closet and walk in, him following right behind. I hear something open and turn around to see he has opened my chest of drawers, where all of my clothes from high school are. "I remember this sweater, I liked this one on you." He genuinely smiles up at me. "That is the sweater you and all the others would tease me for wearing." I look down remembering the sad thought. " The only reason I ever made fun of you is because everyone liked me for it, back then I was a little poser." He tells me raising my chin with is hand. "That does not make it okay." I say pulling away from his touch.
I pull clothes out of the bottom of that same dresser and throw them to him. "Put these on, an stop reminding me of all that stuff, I don't like any of those clothes anymore." I tell him. "Okay! But hey, puberty did you a favor. You are like super hot now! Don't dread the past." He says with a playful smirk playing on his lips. I leave the closet and shut it behind me. Did Niall Horan my old school bully just call me HOT?? I honestly do not understand why he is giving me butterflies to erupt in my stomach right now?!?
