Through The Dark (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 3: Meeting him.

*Rosie's P.O.V*

On my way back to my house, I couldn't help but think about Ashley. She seemed so vulnerable and that any wrong touch would break her into million pieces. She is a beautiful, blue-eyed, brunette girl. She is skinny but not in a bad way. I can see that we're gonna be good friends . She seems lovely and friendly.

*Ashley's P.O.V*

I woke up to my alarm's beeping sound. I groaned as I moved out of bed. I looked at the clock as it read 7:00 am. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, then I took a relaxing shower.

After 30 minutes in the warm shower, I realised that I have to get out sooner or later and that it would be better if sooner. I just liked standing their and letting the water relax my body. Anyways, I jumped out of the shower and went to my closet to pick something appropriate for the first day at work. After struggling with myself about what I'll wear, I decided on plain black tank-top with a sugary-white cardigan and jean shorts. I wore my outfit,  then blow-dried my hair and put a little bit of make up, which contained of: mascara, lip gloss and hardly any blush. I went downstairs and made myself pancakes along with bacon and egg.

*At work*

I got to work, on time. It stroke 9 o'clock as I was wearing my name tag and getting ready for customers. My job was to take orders, serve people and being a cashier, whichever of them that needed to be done, I would do it. The day went by, normally. People walked in, ordered food, ate, paid then went out and the cycle rotates, again. Suddenly and out of nowhere, Niall entered along with Liam. Yes, you heard me right. Niall Horan and Liam Payne from One Direction - the biggest and best boy band in the world. On the inside, I was freaking out like crazy, but on the outside, I acted so cool as if nothing is happening. I am not the kind who would show the boy that that I like him if I'm not sure about his feelings. So back to what is happening, they sat down as I waited for sometime then grabbed two menus and headed to their table.

"Hello! I am Ashley and I will be serving you." I smiled and handed them the menus then completed, saying, "What would you like to order?" I start, exactly as Rosie taught me to say to any customer.

"Hey, Ashley! You must be new here, aren't you? I know all the crew here, and I can't remember you as one of them. Right?" Niall exclaims, smiling back as he looks up at me.

"Yes, I am. You are right, I'm new here. Actually, this is my first day at work. I just moved." My smile falls for a moment before I smile again and say, "So as I asked before, would you like to order anything or shall I wait for sometime and come back soon?"

"First, welcome to London!" He says, laughing, "And yeah, we would like to order, now." He grins.

"Thank you! " I laugh as I take their order and then go back to the kitchen.

After 5 minutes, I walk over to their table with their food.

"Well, here you are," I say as I place the food on the table and talk again, "if you wanted me, you can call or motion for me and I'll be here." I smile.

"Thanks, love!" Liam says, giving me one of the best smiles I've ever seen.

"Welcome." I smile widely then go and serve other people.

*30 minutes later*

I was standing at my place, by the counter, staring at nothing, until I saw Niall coming towards me.

"Hey!"

"Hi!" I say as I feel my heart racing and I wonder if he hadn't heard it, already.

"Before I pay, go, or anything,  I would like to ask if you...um...would like to maybe hang out sometime?" He rubs the back of his neck, nervously.

I stare at him in silence, wide-eyed and I don't say anything, at all. I want to answer. I want to tell him that of course I agree, but I can't get the words out.

"I'm sorry! I knew it was a bad idea, in the first place. I am just sorry!" He starts to walk away. Hurt flashing all over his face as flashing signs.

Sorry? Sorry for what? He have done nothing. I won't let him walk away hurt.

"Niall, wait!" I yell as I reach for his hand. "Not because I didn't answer it means no." I watch his smile grow, so he is smiling as if he just won a prize. "Stop assuming things. I just really was surprised." I finish speaking, smiling.

"That's great! When then?" He asks, laughing. His laugh always made me weak to knees. OMG.

"Any time and place that are okay with you, are okay with me. I'm free all the time, since I am alone and didn't get except only one friend, here."I answer, sighing at the thought.

"Umm, maybe 7 at my house, tonight. Is that okay with you?" He replies.

"Yeah, sure! Text me the address." I say, casually.

Niall chuckles and the realisation hits me like a brick in the face. We don't have each other's numbers. I start to talk again, "Uh, sorry! I am just used to say that when I'm going to a friend's house since I would, already, be having their number," I talk in a rushed voice as I blush, hard. "If you don't want to give it to me, it's okay. I understand, you can write the address on a piece of paper." I mumble, sadly.

"No! You can take it, it is totally fine." He snatches the phone from my hand as I get it out of my pocket. He writes his number down and send himself a text from my number that says, 'Hey, Nialler! ;) xx'. I laugh as I steal me phone back.

"Thanks, Niall."

"For what?" He raises an eyebrow in confusion.

"For trusting me." I hug him.

"Nope! You seem trustworthy." At first, he seemed startled back, but then he hugged me back.

"Thanks, again." Was all I said before waving at Liam and watch them leave.

*At my house*

I finished working at 6:00 pm and arrived home at 6:15 pm. I was in rush. I had to get there on time. I was freaking out for 5 minutes, then calmed down to get ready. I took a shower for 10 minutes. I ran back to my closet and picked black skinny jeans along with a grey hoodie, which is suitable for London's weather today, and black converse. I blow-dried my hair and it formed natural waves. Then j looled at the clock to see that it is 6:45 pm. I applied a bit of blush, some pink semi-transparent lip gloss and mascara. I took my phone and stormed a

out of the apartment and to the street.

I got in a cab and told the driver the address. After another 5 minutes, I was there. I glanced down at my phone's clock as it read 6:55 pm. I took a big breath and built up enough confidence, then I rang the bell.
