Fear [Niall Horan]

Date

I wake up this morning to a text coming through on my phone, groaning I roll over throwing the duvet from my hot sweaty body and pick up my phone. Niall's name flashes up on the screen which makes me smile straight away. I open the message and read what it says;

From Niall;

Hey Lex, I'm taking you out today. Yes it's a date before you ask, just wear something casual and I'll pick you up about 11. Niall xx

I close the message looking at the time. Its 9am now so that gives me loads of time to get ready. I love how he just tells me he's taking me rather than asking me, I've nothing better to do so may as well see what he has up his sleeve. I jump out of bed and make my way down the hall to the bathroom, luckily for me it's open which means mums not in there and hopefully she's gone out so I don't have to deal with her moaning about me going out.

I step inside the bathroom and close the door behind me, I don't bother to lock it as it's only me and mum who live here so if she was to walk in it's nothing she hasn't seen before. I strip out my dirty clothes from yesterday and throw them in washing basket before climbing into the shower and switching it on.

I shiver at the first touch of the water as it comes on freezing cold but quickly it warms up to the temperature I like, hot. I stand swaying under the flow of water just relaxing my muscles thinking about the day ahead, I wonder what Niall has planned for our date today.

After spending about 10-15 minutes just standing under the hot water I decide I should get washed and get out. I lather my body in scented body wash before shampooing and conditioning my hair, once I rinse everything off my body I step out the shower and wrap a towel around my body then make my way back to my room.

Once in my room I dry my body off and then towel wrap my hair while I go over to my dresser and pull out some fresh clean underwear. I pull them on and grab a nice navy vest top slipping that over my head too. I then find a pair of jeans that sit nicely on my hips and squeeze my bum into them. After getting dressed I pulled the damp towel from my head and rubbed out any drips still lingering, grabbing my hair dryer from on top of my dresser I plugged it in and switched it on to dry the remainder of my hair. Luckily for me my hair is easy to tame, I don't have to straightening it as it always falls nicely into place unless I want to curl it, which takes forever.

I check the time to see it's now 10am leaving me only an hour to do my make up and get myself sorted out for this date. It shouldn't take me that long but I want to make a good impression on Niall if I want him to stick around.

I take a seat on the floor in front of my mirror and pull out my makeup bag. I used concealer and foundation to cover and blemishes on my skin but don't overdo it making myself look like a craola colouring book. After applying the concealer and foundation I use a little mascara to lift my lashes and some black eye liner to make my eyes pop out that bit more. I don't like using a lot of makeup so I'm not going to overdo it just because it's a date.

It takes me 20 minutes to get my makeup done, once I'm finished doing that I pull on some socks and slip into my converse finishing off my outfit. I now have 40 minutes to spare before this date with Niall and I'm not sure what to do with myself. I grab my phone and keys putting them into my pocket as I make my way downstairs and into the living room. I take a seat on the sofa picking up the remote and flicking on the TV.

"Why is there never anything on this fucking TV?" I curse to myself and the TV.

"Lexi stop talking like that," I hear my mother's voice echo from the kitchen, damn it I thought she was out, here we go.

"I thought you were out?"

"Well obviously I'm not and I don't want you cursing like that."

"Jesus mum I'm 17, you can't tell me what words I'm allowed to say," I defend myself but I know it's going to cause an argument.
