It was late, somewhere around 12:34am, when Niall and I left the tracks. We headed off to a small fast food restaurant named 'Tommy's Rocket' that Niall knew off that was located nearby, and was open 24 hours.

I followed Niall inside the restaurant as we headed towards the register. The restaurant had booths pushed up against the walls in a huge row, and about five separate people were being seated on them.

As we halt at the register, an elderly man with a name tag that read 'Tom Smith' greeted Niall in a small embrace.

❝Very nice to see you again, Niall. It's been a while.❞ Tom signs as he and Niall pull away.

Niall nods, ❝Did you get my message from Zayn?❞

❝Yes, I did. I'm very sorry to hear about that, Niall.❞

❝It's okay. By the way, this is Harry.❞

"Nice to meet you, sir." I say, shaking his hand with a nod.

"Good to meet you, Harry. So, what can I get for the two of you?"

❝Two pumps of strawberry with lemonade, and the number one special for the two of us, please.❞

"The usual, coming right up."

Confusedly, I follow Niall to a nearby booth and sit across from him. "What was that pump of strawberry thing about?"

❝It's like, a recipe, for a drink. You kind of just ask for two pumps of strawberry and add lemonade to it, and well, honestly, the outcome of it is fantastic.❞

"Really?"

❝Yeah, I truly think you'll like the taste of it.❞ And as if on cue, Tom comes over to booth with our orders and places them in front of us, giving us a small smile before he takes off.

We spent the next half hour at the restaurant, sharing small talk, and quietly eating our meals.

By the time we got back to Niall's, it was over 3:45am and I decided to spend the night in his spare room. And so, I tug off my shirt and jeans, and lay in bed with nothing but my boxers.

And the next day, I was surprised to find Niall curled up by my side, wearing my shirt from last night.

Okay, that's it. Bye! x
