Oh How I Wish That Was Me (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5

***

Hope's POV

As soon as the clock hit the four, I raced out of here. When I got home I began to get ready. I didn't exactly have a cell phone yet, so I used my grandmothers house phone to give Niall a call.

My heart began to beat faster after each ring went by. I was afraid no one was going to answer.

"Hello?" Someone questioned through the other line. My heart fluttered.

"Hi." I paused, I didn't no what to do or say. I froze in the moment.

"Hello?" Someone questioned again. "Hope?"

I finally spoke up and responded. "Yeah, uh sorry, bad connection." I lied. "But anyway uh- I wanted to take you up on your offer."

"Really?" I could hear the excited in he's tone of voice. I smiled. "How about I pick you up at your place and bring you back to mine?"

"Yeah sounds great!"

Niall and I talked a little bit longer after that so I could tell him where I lived. But as soon as we were done I ran up stairs to get ready. I took my braid out and put a few soft curls in for a better wavy affect.

Then I ran to my closet and picked out an outfit. It took me for what it seem like forever to find the perfect outfit. I put on light blue high-wasted shorts with a floral cropped top. I slipped on my converses and waited for him to show.

When it was almost time I ran down stairs to find my grandmother sitting on the couch watching the news.

"Hey grandma, I'm going out with some friends tonight ok?"

She looked up at me. "Sure dear. Not to late though." I nodded.

I sat next to her and I put my hand on hers and she grabbed hold of it.

"Thank you." I whispered. "For- for everything."

She smiled and I did also. Then something or should I say someone caught my attention. I broke the gaze with my grandmother and looked at the tv. Familiar five faces appeared.

"Grandma? Who are they?" I questioned.

"I'm not sure dear. Cute though, aren't they?"

"Yeah, adorable." I smirked and crossed my arms. Why are they on television? Questions started to fill my mind. What are the doing? Why didn't they tell me they were famous. What other secrets are they hiding? Who are they really?

Then the door bell rang shaking me from my thoughts.

"I'll get it" I said and ran to the door to open it. Niall met gaze and I smiled. "Hi."

"Ready love?" I nodded and said my goodbyes to my grandmother. I closed the door behind me and he led me to the car.

He opened the door for me making my cheeks blush. He was dressed in nice khakis and a polo white shirt. He looked adorable. He saw that I was staring at him and met my gaze. His eyes sparkled blue and I smiled.

"You look beautiful." He spoke up.

Beautiful

My heart fluttered. "So what are we going to do back at your place?" I questioned.

Niall smirked. "We not going back to my to my place. I have a surprise for you."

My brows furrowed. "You'll love it." He said not leaving his eyes from mine. I just smiled and he started the engine.

It wasn't a long ride. Maybe a ten to fifteen minute drive. It was quiet awkward though. We didn't talk the whole way and I really wanted to know where we were going.
