Stole My Heart

Chapter 3

I basically ran back to the flat and got some strange looks from random people walking on the streets but I could care less. I ran up the stairs, not wanting to wait for the elevator and bust opened the door.

“MAIREAD!” I screamed not caring if I was disturbing anyone else on our floor.

“What?! You’re going to wake up the whole building. Calm down.” She said rushing over to me.

“You will never guess what just happened to me!” I said jumping up and down.

“What happened?” she said excited now jumping with me.

“Remember that blonde boy from the restaurant the other night? I saw him today at Starbucks!”

“Oh my god no way! Did you talk to him?”

“Yeah we had coffee together and talked for a little bit until he got a call from someone and had to leave. I also got his number!” I said pulling out my phone to show Mairead his contact.

“Are you going to text him?” she said grabbing my phone out of my hand.

“I don’t know should I? I mean I just saw him 10 minutes ago so don’t you think that would be to soon?”

“Yeah true. Maybe you should wait until he texts you first?”

“Yeah, I’m just going to wait.” I said with a sigh.

I could already tell waiting for this text was going to feel like a lifetime.

Since I didn’t have to work today I decided to clean my room since it was beginning to look a mess. There were clothes and boxes everywhere. One I put everything away and my room look presentable, I asked Mairead if she wanted to go shopping. She agreed and we both got ready real quick. Once I was satisfied with how I looked I walked out of my bathroom and met Mairead in the kitchen.

“Ready to go?” I said grabbing my purse and wallet.

“Yep. Let’s do this poo!” she said excited.

We walked on the sidewalks around town looking at all the little shops. We went into some little boutiques and looked at clothes and shoes, since we needed to catch up with the London style.

“Hey Cat, you should get this.” Mairead said laughing hysterically at her own joke.

She was holding up this puke green turtle neck. Just the sight of it made me cringe.

“Haha very funny.” I said sarcastically.

“I bet Niall would like it.” She said laughing again.

“Niall would like what?” I heard a voice say.

My eyes widened and I completely froze. Of course the only time we decide to joke about the fact that I had somewhat of a crush on this kid someone hears. Mairead’s jaw was on the floor and her body was frozen too. I could feel my face turning bright red, and the last thing I wanted to do was turn around and see who was talking to us but I already had a feeling I knew who it was. And by the look on Mairead’s face, I could tell what I was thinking was probably right. I took a deep breath and turned around slowly spinning on the balls of my feet.

“Hey Niall.. uh, how’s it going..?” I said nervously.

“Oh nothing, just shopping with the boys.” He said with a cheeky smile.

I could tell he was finding this whole situation very amusing.

“The boys?” I said confused.

“Oh yeah, my friends Harry, Liam, Louis, and Zayn.” He said pointing over to the 4 boys who were taking bras and putting them over their shirts.
