GIRL ALMIGHTY
Chapter 3- Phone Call
"Hiya ,Greg"
Oh shit it's actually him. I found myself in the middle of my dark living room flapping my arms around like a chicken while jumping up and down on the spot.
"Greg mate, are you there?" Niall asked sounding a mixture of annoyance and panic.
I instantly stopped jumping and flapping my arms around and stood in a solider like position, after a second or 2 I manage to choke out very scattered words
"Um, h-hey Greg's um a s-sleep"
Oh god I must of sounded so stupid. Who in their wildest dreams would say that, most girls would of screamed down the phone at him which he would probably respond by hanging up so I had to act casual, well that's what they do in the fanfics.
"Oh right ok then...hum.. who are you ?"
"Oh yeah erm I'm Charlie, um C-Charile-Grace, Beth's daughter, Greg came over to see her and maybe bring me back to I-Ireland."
To be fair I shocked myself for not chocking on my own words as much as I thought I was going too.
"Ah yeah I remember now..."
There was a long line of silence with the only noise being Nialls deep breaths. He quickly broke the silence that was killing us both
"Charlie-Grace, I like it. Well I hope your mother gets well enough soon.. And if not.... I guess I'll see you in Ireland, when Greg wakes up tell him to call me back."
I quickly agreed nodding my head, only then realising he can't see me. I physically slapped myself and then said yes.
"Did you just slap your self?"
"No." I answered a little too quickly, defiantly blowing over my lie.
"well then Grace...."
"Kim"he dragged out the 'e' in Grace waiting for me to finish by telling him my last name.
"Goodnight Grace Kim" he spoke, you could almost hear the smirk playing on his lips through the phone line.
"Goodnight Niall Horan" I said fairly quickly without realising.
"Ahh so I see you're a fa-"
Before he could say anything else I put the phone down to save me from embarrassment.
Greg scared the shit out of me by saying
"Wow. That was played "cool" drawing around the word 'cool' with his finger.
"how long have you been awake?"
"Long enough to know you're a fan of One Direction and can't keep your cool when talking to Niall on the phone without sound like a creep. Oh and by the way, nice chicken dance "
He said while standing up and walking towards the stairs.
"Ah.ah,ah very funny"
I said to his back as he was already half way up the stairs. I shouted up to his back.
"Oh and a 'Thankyou for tidying up Charlie' would be nice"
"THANK YOU FOR TIDYING UP CHARLIE.....you happy now?"
"Very."

Weeks passed and my mums 'deadline' was in 2 weeks, she's started to look paler and skinnier but her smiles and hugs are just the same. Me and Greg have visited her everyday but on some occasions Greg lets me go by myself to have some 'Mother Daughter Time' which in all honestly I was very thankful for.
I have had some more "joyful" experiences with Niall over the phone and he somehow got my number, let's just say the media's point of view of Niall , the happy , loving life cutie is completely different to the real personality of Niall Horan he's cheeky, smug and loves to tease and he's definitely a charm.

I was walking home from the hospital one night listening to my music when I got a text from Niall :
Hey Grace how was your mum today? What are you doing now? xx
Me:
Hi Nia she's ok looking weaker but fingers crossed and brave face is on. I'm walking home what about you? xx
Niall:
A lovely lady like you shouldn't be alone walking at night. Where's Greg ? xx
Me:
Hah okay. Irish one.
He's gone shopping, Niall I'm fine
Are messages went on and on like usual. Until reality hit me, I shouldn't be flirting with Niall I need to be looking after my mum and not starting to make bridges with Niall. I'm being so selfish I may only have days or weeks with my mum but I have tones of time to talk to Niall!
I don't 'Love' Niall, but I do like him, but I know there's no point trying because he's around girls 24/7 ,girls that are 10 times prettier and actually have a family.
