Irish Fish ↠ Niall Horan

chapter one

Ok honestly I try, I promise lol. The last chapter was more of an intro thing so this chapter won't really connect with the previous one. I hope that wasn't too confusing x)

By the way, I'm imagining the girl in the gif as Ali.

Ali's POV

Looking down at all the flyers and slips of paper I had been sorting through, I flopped down onto my bed, exhausted. I was trying to find a job, one that wasn't too far away because I don't have a car and one that had a good amount of pay. So far, I haven't found anything. I was looking at mostly babysitting jobs because I loved kids. I liked to think I did well with them.

After about an hour more of looking online, I found a perfect job. It was just a couple blocks away from my house and they payed 20 dollars an hour. I would be working on the weekdays from 10 until 6. That would be roughly 160 dollars in one day. Now, getting a Nikon AND One Direction tickets didn't seem all that impossible anymore. I was overjoyed and called the number listed right away.

"Hello?" A young woman answered. she sounded sweet and kind.

"Hello, yes I was just looking at your request for a babysitter online? I live just down the block and have a lot of free time on my hands so I was looking for a summer job."

"Of course! Would you like to meet up soon, I like to meet the babysitters first to see who I'm leaving my children with."

"Not a problem, I'm free anytime you are."

"Does around 4:00 today at the local playground sound okay to you?"
"Perfect. Thank you so much."
"It's not a problem, I'll see you soon!"

Checking my clock, I almost squealed, it was already 3:00 and I wanted to wear something nice because first impressions are important especially if it's for a job.

I jumped into the shower singing as loud as I possible could to myself. Once I was finished I hopped out and almost slipped running through the bathroom. Rummaging through my closet I pulled out a knee length blue summer dress. I quickly changed out of my comfortable sweats and t-shirt. I slipped on some flats and grabbed my phone, walking downstairs and out the door yelling a quick goodbye to my mom.

I walked down the street enjoying the slight breeze that blew my hair around my head like a halo. I continued walking looking down at my phone to check the time. Seeing that it was already 3:40, I picked up my pace.

Once I reached the playground,
I looked around for an older woman or anybody who resembled the woman who I was supposed to meet. It wasn't the easiest thing to do since I didn't know what she looked like, but I did eventually find her. Or, she found me.

"Hi! You must the babysitter! It's so nice to meet you, I'm Kara." she said in a warm voice.

"Yes, that's me!" I replied with a smile. I'm Alison, Ali for short."

~•~•~•

We had been walking around for a bit, getting to know each other. It wasn't as weird as I thought it would've been because Kara was pretty young, maybe in her thirties so it wasn't that hard to talk to her. Plus, even though none of my friendships had worked out, that didn't mean I don't know how to carry a conversation.

"Well, I think you'll be a wonderful babysitter for my children, they'll absolutely adore you. I have a three year old twins named Cammi and Anna. They're the sweetest little girls," remarked Kara

I smiled. "I'm sure I'll adore them as well, from what you've told me, they seem perfect!"

"Thank you. Are you able to start tomorrow? I'm sorry it's so soon, I've just been so busy and-"

"No, no, it's fine, I can definitely start tomorrow."

"Thank you so much," she sighed in relief. "Lately I haven't been able to get much done."

Smiling again, I shook her hand, surprised as she pulled me in for a hug instead.

I eventually pulled away from the hug, "It was wonderful meeting you, I've got to head home now. I hope you have a nice evening."

"You too," Kara started walking towards her home and I smiled, turning and heading towards my own.
