Alice:
(Sniffles)
AACHOOO...
I sneezed so loud that the neighbors would even hear the sneeze.... I wanted a tissue paper, but I felt like someone was holding my hand... It was not weird but I felt really good and when I saw that, it was my dumbhead best friend who stayed the whole night for me. This is the first time I'm seeing him sleeping and he was so cute more like a baby... I took out my phone and took a photo of him.
I felt really sleepy and I slept again..

The very evening my grandparents came and they took care of me well....

3 days later:

"You're insecure.. don't know what for...
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make-up, to cover up
Being the way that you are is enough

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful"....

Chloe and I were on a full day one direction marathon. They are the most Uber cool boy band and they're the bunch of adorable guys.... Everyone loves them, some like Harry styles and some like Zayn Malik. But I love the blonde one more... Niall Horan.. he's so cute and his voice is something I always admired..

" Mahnnn Harry is amazing isn't he Al?" Chloe was biggest fan of Harry styles and I liked Harry too, but nly after Niall.
"My NiHo is the bestest of em all... How I wish I could meet him once."
Jus then Jacob entered there..."I've got big news .... My friend from Ireland is coming with his band to angel Grove.."
" Band? Who are they??" I asked him curiously
"Have you ever heard of One Direction? "
I looked at him.." who doesn't know them? They are amazing and"
Jacob continued"And guess what they re coming to Angel Grove, I just got a call from Niall. They are coming to Angel Grove for their new album promotion.."
" Wait; you know Niall?" Chloe intervened.

"Of course I do. After all he was my best friend in school."

I spit out the juice i was drinking. Jac knows Niall and I didn't even know that... I wanted to meet him but I'm not in a good face now. So...
"You jerk of a dimwit... Why didn't you tell me before!!!"
"Easy Al. Wait u like Niall??"
😕😕😕 Who doesn't like Niall... Meant to say he's just the kind of guy in my dreams.... More like A Vanilla ice-cream....
" Okay so when is the band coming.?"
"At around 4 in the evening ..... What's the time???"
" It's 2.45 p.m."
"So we don't have much time left. Let's clean the cafe and make sure the guys get what they want"
And I walked with the tray of pineapple juice only to get hit by a random guy.
The juice spilled on him and some fell on the ground. My legs were slippery and he caught hold of me. I was lost in his eyes. Those blue eyes were so mesmerising and I literally lost myself into it.
"Niall? You okay?" Jacob came behind us.
He's the guy who I was talking about
All this while....
" I'm fine... Good to see u man." Jacob and Niall shared a hug and Chloe helped me with the stuffs...

"Where are your other bandmates?? Harry, Liam??" Jacob asked Niall
" Whoa.... Wait is Harry here??"
Niall gave all of us a weird expression which simply meant that he didn't understand who we are...
" Okay I get it bud... They are my best friends in skl.and partners in cafe..."
"Wow I never knew you made gfs here in Angel Grove..."
"Hey... They are my best friends alright... That's Chloe Peeters"
"Hii.. I'm Chloe.. it's great meeting you Niall"
"I'm honoured meeting you"
".....And this is Alice Car.." before Jacob could proceed... I stopped Nd said
" I'm Alice Carmel... People call me Alice or Al.."
"Your name sounds beautiful like you.." He kissed my palm which made me go tomatoes already....

However I smelt burning toast out there... Little did I know my curious yet jealous jerk was there looking at us with those creepy eyes...
"Excuse me... I've been waiting here for such a long time, can I place my order atleast now"

Well I can make him Starve for like so much however I cannot as it isn't in the rules... So I just went to him...
"So ... May I know what's your order jerk?"
" We need to talk."
"Was that the reason you jus made a fuss Infront of Niall?😬😬"
" Who's he btw?"
" Ohh he's Niall Horan from One Direction"
"One what?"
" You don't know 1D. They are the most adorable boy band in this planet and that guy over there is one of the vocalists..."
"Do u know him personally???"
"As a matter of fact I don't.... Why does it bother u anyway 😕"
"He jus kissed your palm... How is that so professional 😕"
"Ooh boy I think someone's jealous 😏😏😏"
"No I'm not"
"Anyways U don't have to worry abt that.... Niall is Jacobs best friend from Ireland and that's how he talked to us... Why dont you join us?... Come with me.."
I pulled him to the gang...
" Speak of the devil the devil arrives"
Jacob jus mocked me??
" Hey who you call devil huh 😑😑. Anyways... Mr. Horan..."
"Hey don't be too formal. Call me Niall.😉"
"Okay Niall... This is Daniel and he's my bff"
"Nice meeting you mate"
"It's great seeing you too"
I went to the side Nd was drinking water until Niall-
"I must say you two look great together.  You look perfect as a couple"
I spit out the water I was having in my mouth and I almost fell down until Dan caught hold of me.
I held on to his shirt for sometime until our eyes met. I was lost in it for a moment.
'click'
"Now that's how couples work..."
"Tat was a good one bro.."
" Hey whatd u jus do?"I asked Niall ... He said nothing...
Little did we know they took our photo
"Aarghh. Man u r lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend. I wish I could get one. Btw u make a great couple."
" We're not dating and were not a couple!!!"
Both of us said at once and then we looked at each other.
............
" So our show is at around 5 pm in the cafe here... I want u guys to be here as well. Well if you excuse us now we gotta go and practice"

Niall left from there leaving us alone.
" Ill come back in a minute."
And I left from there to the restroom and I looked myself in the mirror reminiscing Niall's words.
" Wait.. what's wrong with me... I know that I don't see Dan in such a way and it's inappropriate from my point. So what else... But everytime I fall into his arms by tripping or by saving I  feel more comfortable with him."
"Easy Al .... Now you have to focus on something else Nd these things aren't important now"

With that I went back to my friends..

Phew took real long time to update Nd hope you like it and see to it.
And I'll try updating it once im done with things....
Have a happy reading 😉😉😉
