Unexpected

Chapter 18

I woke up at quarter to ten in the morning. And I was in bed. Next to Niall. I let that process before I eventually sat up. I didn't bother waking Niall up. Instead I went and brushed my teeth. And took a shower because I felt the need to.

When I walked back into the bedroom, Niall is awake. His hair is stuck up in the most obscure places. I smirk at him and then I go and sit on the bed.

"You should have woke me." Niall yawns.

"Should have. Didn't." I say as Niall sits up.

"I'm off for a shower. See you in ten." He walks off not even caring that he is only wearing pants.

I took that time to get dressed and French braid my hair for quickness. I really needed to go to the bank and put all the money into an account. But that would mean setting everything up and I needed a visa and I had no idea how to do that. And I needed a job and I needed it get myself sorted out.

I sat on the edge of the bed holding my head. I needed to put make-up on. The last thing I wanted is for Niall to think of me as some ugly dog. Well I am but I still would like to seem like I'm not.

There was so much I needed to do and such little time to let me get my head sorted out.

I haven't even told Kaira that I've moved to L.A. Or anyone except Ryan. I guess it was for the best but still extremely daunting.

I stood up and started walking out of the room. I heard the shower get switched off so it was safe to walk out and not bump into Niall. But the door opened and I landed on a wet Niall. I didn't move. I just lay there laughing on him. It was so typical of me.

Eventually I rolled off but I was still laughing. I know it was my nerves yet still I carried on laughing. Niall helped me up even though I still laughing.

"Sorry." I manage to push out.

"Don't be." Niall smiles. I sigh as I finally stop laughing.

"You should get dressed." I state the obvious.

"Should. But I'm not." Niall weaves his fingers through mine.

"Well at least tell me where the closest bank is and where you even get a visa from." I say.

"I sorted the visa out for you but you need to sign it." Niall blushes.

"And if I had said no to coming here?" I question, half smiling.

"Then I had wasted a load of money. But it was worth it."

"Oh I see." I smile. Niall weaves his other fingers through mine on our other hand and then he kisses me. It wasn't a small kiss. It was powerful.

"You're wet." I pull away as our bodies press against each other.

"No shit." Niall laughs.

"Get dressed." I roll my eyes and walk down stairs.

.......

Niall is ready within minutes. I run upstairs and I grab all the money I own before we get into Niall's car.

The drive is very short but that meant I could get to the bank quicker.

The lady behind the counter helped me with everything. She made it all super simple and put all my money in there and then. I felt rich but I know it was only a tiny amount compared to other people. My credit and debit card would be posted and should arrive within a week apparently.

Niall kindly sorted out my phone as I was in the bank, so I could use it and run up the most expensive bill ever.

By the time everything had been done, Niall decided to take me out to dinner. I had never heard of the restaurant before. It wasn't extremely fancy which I'm glad for. It was classy but not snobby and they gave us the back table.

We ordered the food and then I just sat there. Niall could have been talking to me but I wasn't listening. I was too consumed in the thought that had finally bombarded my brain. I was in America. I was living in America. With Niall Horan. The Niall Horan.

"I'm in America." I whisper, thinking out loud.

"What?" Niall looks up.

"Nothing." I smile breaking my trail of thoughts.

Our food comes then and it's good. Really good. I ate it all but I hadn't actually eaten all of yesterday and most of today. And it was a salad which was unusual. I never ate salad. But this was stir fry. Stir fry was my favourite food.

We went back home then. It felt strange calling it home but it was now my home, I suppose.

I got a random text off Ash. I stared at it before I actually replied.

*Hi?*

*We're all comin round* Ashton quickly replies.

*Why couldn't you text Niall?* I ask.

*Your the lass now.*

*Okay :)* I reply as a knock comes from the door.

Ashton let's himself in along with the rest of the boys. They sat themselves down and I just smiled. They must have been pretty close. And Ash must have texted me from outside.

"Yo Niall." Luke shouts. I think it's Luke anyway.

"Sup?" Niall sits down and I just stand there awkwardly.

"We need your help with that song." Mike throws a book at him as Cal cracks out his guitar.

They start writing any singing and doing productive things as I productively made myself a cup of tea.

That was about as creative I would get.

I drank it as soon as I put the boiling water in the mug. It burnt but I didn't really care.

They got stuck which personally seemed impossible. They kept repeating the last line.

"Why don't you just repeat part of the chorus with out the beat?" I blurt out. I cover my mouth in shock at my interruption.

"That would actually work really well." Niall and Ash say at the same time weirdly.

"Good going Girly." Ash then says and Luke writes it all down.

I stay in the kitchen until Ashton walks in. I suddenly feel awkward and wary. He smiles at me as he gets a drink.

"Reindeers are better than people." He suddenly says.

"People smell better." I shrug my shoulders at him.

"That's what I think." Ashton smiles with excitement. I just laugh at him.

Two hours later, everyone leaves and I can relax. I also sit down then. The next time they all decide to song write, I'm leaving the house. I'd say I would go out with my friends but I dint actually have any of them so I'll just go out somewhere.

"I have to go to the studio tomorrow." Niall puts his arm around me.

"I'll go job hunting." I smile.

"Really? On your second day?"

"Yeah. It'll be fun."

"By yourself?" Niall seems concerned.

"I'll call Ash or something then." I don't even know why Ash but he was the first person that came to mind. I like him and he's easy going, so why not?

"Okay then babe." I cringe at the word babe.

"Babe? Really?" I wince at just saying it.

"Sorry. Okay then Jessica." Niall seems to find himself funny.

"Please leave." I smirk and relax into Niall.
