you [njh]

three

Okay. That night, i kept thinking about what Laura and Zayn have said to me. Maybe i'm too bitter over people, when really, i'm just not ready for another disappointment. People often makes me feel so disappointed, i don't know, maybe i have a high expectations on them. It just that, the amount of people that have disappoint me just makes me not motivated to actually socialize, talk to new people. But i guess, i gotta keep my self open minded. Give people chances. So, i hope it's the right thing to do, i'm about to knock on his door.

It would be okay, it's just gonna be a friend and a friend, knowing each other better.

I said to myself.

So i knocked. Three times.

The door opened, but it was not Niall.

It was a girl.

A girl.

With Niall's shorts and also seem to be his Nirvana t-shirt. It actually looked good on her. The t-shirt was oversized, but it was okay. She also looked like a girlfriend goals. You know, those girls who has great legs, perfect skin and hair who looked good with every clothes. Even in her boyfriend's clothes.

"Oh, hey." I said, don't know what to do. I think she's a groupie. Ha in your face, Laura.

"Um, is Niall here?" I asked.

"Yeah he's in the bathroom. Do you wanna come?" She asked, politely, i was suprised.

She could be his girlfriend, what am i thinking?

"Oh, no, i think i'll come back later. Have a nice day." I said. I'm such a fool. Of course, a guy like him must've a lot of girls lined up for him.

"Haha nice cool amazing." I said while making my way to my room.

I turned on the TV and How I Met Your Mother was on. Perfect. I had always wanted to meet Neil Patrick Harris. I loved his acting skills, i don't know. I just fell in love right away when the first time i watched How I Met This Mother and i went like "I'm gonna love this character so much." Plus he's cute.

40 minutes had passed and i felt hungry. I grabbed a drink. But, when i was about to grab some snacks, someone rang my door.

When i opened the door, i didn't expect Niall to be there. Leaning on the door frame.

"Good morning." He smiled.

"Hi." I said, holding my drink.

"So, i heard you were looking for me?" He asked.

"Where did you hear that from?" I said, sipping on a bit on my water.

"A birdy." he said.

"Well your birdy was right. But that's the reason."

"What do you mean?" He said, not leaning again.

"You know, you didn't opened your door, i mean some vogue model opened it. Were you having a photoshoot in your apartement? Take me there please, i forgot to ask for an autograph." I said.

He chuckled. "You would make a great comedian, Kate. And by the way, her name was Clarisse. She was drunk as hell so i took her to my room. She's not a vogue model, she's a lawyer. And no, she's not my girlfriend. She's got a boyfriend anyway." He explained, it's like he's a mind reader.

"She got a boyfriend anyway." He sang.

"I see what you did there." I laughed, and he joined.

"So, what's up?" He asked.

"Well, i was wondering maybe we could grab a breakfast together. I mean, like, we're neighbours and i think we should know each other better. But it's okay if you don't want to or you have plans." I blurted.

"No no, i don't have plans. Breakfast sounds lovely. I would love to, but is it okay to your boyfriend? I don't want to cause any prob-"

"I don't have a boyfriend."

"But, last night, a guy-"

"He's a great friend of mine." I explained.

"Oh, i guess your drink only bring me to the yard." He said, half-smiled.

He was funny, i fell for that one, so i laughed and playfully smacked his arms.

We had breakfast near our apartement, which happened to be Niall's favorite. Well, the food was great, and not pricey, plus its cozy. It was a great place.

"I'm sorry about what happened back then... when the first time we met." I said. "It was pretty embarassing.. God, sorry." i hid my face with palms
of my hands.

"It's okay, Kate." Niall smiled. "You could've went to 5B or 4A or 4B, and we wouldn't be right here."

"What were you doing before i came?" i asked him. I blame the curiosity in me, damn you.

"Uh.. i was just watching some old disneys." he said. Nice, i love boys who like disney.

"Yeah?" i smiled. "What was it?" Kate, Man, why you gotta be so curious.

Niall chuckled, "The Lady and The Tramp."

I nodded, "I love that. I always wanna do that cute spaghetti kiss."

"So," Niall drank his coffee, "What do you do?"

I gulped. "Uhm, I used to work in a magazine company as an editor."

"Used to? What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know. It was pretty complicated, it's my boss fault actually. I think he was fed up with me. I don't know.." i trailed. "What about you?"

"I love music." he paused. "I have this uh.. me and my friends, back in high school, we made a band. And we still kicking it since then. It's fun. Jolly times." He smiled slightly.

And that morning, we knew each other better. It was fun. I really enjoy his company, he is polite after all, he never cuts when i talk and he always keep the eye contacy whenever you're talking to him.

He's in a band, he's a guitarist. He has been playing guitar since he was 4 years old. His band called 'Plus'.

"Why?"

"I don't know. My band mate thinks it's a cool name. Then boom, we are 'plus'."

He doesn't like the idea having groupies.

"And why is that?"

"I don't want to have AIDS. Man, that is gonna be some real shit. Beside, i respect girls. They remind me of moms."

He's been single for 1 year.

"Wait what? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not. I just haven't found the right girl. Is there anything wrong?"

"No, i mean like, a boy like you."

"A boy like me?"

"Yeah, you got the look, you got that 'im in a band' kind of attitude, you got a sense of humour, i mean maybe there were thousand of girls lined up for you."

"Katherine, you're exaggerating."

"Excuse you, don't call me that. That was insulting."

"How in this earth calling you Katherine is insulting?" He said, half laughed.

"It is. I hate that."

"Whatever, i'll just keep calling you Katherine, Katherine."
