New Angel | N.H.

Chapter forty-four.

Parker's POV

I really try my best not to be the girlfriend who has to know every single one of your friends. Or the kind that has to know where you are and who you're with at all times. That is such an energy draining life to live and just leaves you stressed all the time. If anything I'm just super nosey and that's why I may ask for those details sometimes.

After the comment that was left on my live yesterday my mind has been running nonstop. At first I really didn't care that Niall didn't tell me who he was meeting up with. In my mind it really wasn't a big enough deal for me to press him to give me names. I knew most of his friends anyway. That all changed when I left the live only to find my mentions filled with paparazzi photos of Niall hugging some girl I didn't recognize.

The worst part was that you couldn't see her face in any of the photos. These photographers literally had one job and they blew it. On top of that they were barely visible due to the cars lined up on the street next to them. You could see his face clear as day but no one has any idea who this girl could be.

After Niall returned home I did my best to try and not let the situation bother me. It took me a while but eventually we were able to just have a normal night. Now it was morning and I had made plans to sit out by the pool and get some work done for school. When I woke up I could tell that I would be the only one awake for a while by the looks of how deep Niall was sleeping.

I pulled on a pair of black leggings to wear with Niall's shirt after I lazily pulled myself out of bed. Slipping on some house shoes and grabbing my school bag before making my way out of the bedroom. Slowly making my way down the long staircase and into the kitchen to grab something for breakfast. Immediately remembering that there was still no food in the house. Figuring that I might as well just go grocery shopping now.

I ran back up to the bedroom to swap my slippers for my white vans and grabbing my wallet as well as a hat. I couldn't be bothered to even think about doing my hair right now. I hunt down the keys to Niall's car for a few minutes before I am finally able to head out. I type the address to the nearest grocery store into the gps and begin my trip to the store. The traffic wasn't too bad since most people were already at work by now but it was still enough to extend the short drive.

After living with Niall for so long I pretty much new by heart what to buy from the store. I had gone shopping for the house on my own several times now so it wasn't anything new. I picked up a shopping cart at the front the store and made my way down each of the aisles. Picking up all of our usual items and a few different things that I had missed while being in London.

I spent about 30 minutes shopping before I made my way to the long checkout line. Stopping a lot to check my shopping list and going back to aisles I had already been in. The line moved quick after I got in it and after spending a decent amount of money on food I was headed out the door.

"Excuse me!" I heard someone speak up from behind me as I loaded the bags into the trunk of the car. I turned around to find a girl who looked to be my age nervously approaching me.

"Hi!" I didn't want to sound mean by asking her what she wanted so I just opted for a simple greeting.

"You're Parker right? Niall Horan's girlfriend?" Part of me wanted to just say no and bolt out of the parking lot because I wasn't in the mood for questions but I knew I would regret it if I did that.

"Yep, that's me." I said as I put the last bag in the car and closed the trunk. Putting on my best fake smile despite the annoyance from yesterday's events slowly starting to creep in.

"Could I get a picture with you? I think you guys are so cute together." She spoke up.

"That's so sweet of you to say. How do you want to take the picture?"
