1985- Bowling for Soup

Home- Daughtry

"Um well I was wondering which you liked better; McDonalds or Chick-fil-A?" He says with a tiny glint is his crystal blue eyes to which I learned that was there when food was mentioned.

"Chick-fil-A all the way." I giggle.

He sighs in relief, "good cuz that's what I got." He reaches into the console and grabbed a bag of Chick-fil-A and two large drinks.

My mouth was watering at the sight.

"And I know you absolutely love Dr Pepper so here ya go." He hands me the Dr Pepper and I practically gulp the carbonated substance.

"And two orders of the 8 piece chicken nugget meal. I also got two of each sauce." He hand me my food and I grab the ranch.

"Ah." He chuckles at the ranch.

I giggle and devour the meal in minutes. Patting my belly in satisfaction after eating the last waffle fry.

"You know you are probably the only girls I know to eat that much without complaining about becoming fat." He notices my confused scoff and is panicked.

"No no no I mean not that your fat or becoming fat- I mean you have a nice body- wait no um- no no like you aren't-" he rambles

"I know what you mean, 'I'm just pulling your leg'" I mock in a terrible Irish accent.

He laughs that laugh. It was so cute and funny.

I sip my Dr Pepper. And he just stares at me. I laugh again.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have a hickey or something?" I place a hand around my neck playfully.

His eyes widen and he looks away.

"I'm kidding. It's just Harley Quinn." I laugh at his expression. He relaxed and we talked longer than we should have.

"Yeah and I was like 'you better stop' and - oh my god it's 3 am?!" I exclaim.

Niall's eyes widen as it dawned on him.

"Thank you so much for the food. Best surprise." I say hurriedly.

"Hey can I um have your number?" He asks leaning across the seat.

I smile and type my number into his phone placing an emoji next to my name. It was a yellow heart.

I smile again handing him his phone and running and tripping towards my house.

*****

I was in my room all too soon turning off the light and settling myself on my bed. Ok so I slept on my bed weird in the summer time.

I slept across the bed near the pillows on top of the comforter. With a blanket Zayn gave me for Christmas.

I snuggle up and stare at my ceiling. I suddenly hear whining. Oh cracker jacks I forgot about Dixie.

Dixie Belle was my dog who was supposed to sleep in the kennel next to my bed but I was scared to sleep by myself and if the monsters were to take me they would grab her first giving me a head start.

I let her out and she hops onto the bed and curls next to my legs placing her head on my calf.

I resume looking at the ceiling when I heard a ping. I look at my phone to see several text messages.

Unknown: it's Niall, good night sweet dreams

Unknown: I also willingly gave Harry your number..
