Chapter 4

Scarlett's POV

I woke up with a massive headache. I looked around and noticed that I fell asleep on the couch. I got up and strectched my legs, walking around in hope to find Naima. As I past my room, I heard distant snores coming from Naima's room. I opened the door only to find Naima sprawled on the floor hugging her shirt tightly. We really needed to buy the beds. I put my hand on my head, hoping for the headache to go away when I decided to proabably buy an aspirin. I didn't know anywhere around here, but I thought maybe this is the only way to get to know my neighborhood.

I went into my room, and took out my luggage, making a mental note to sort it out when I get back. I took out a pair of leggings and an over sized sweater. I grabbed my toothbrush and headed to the washroom. After changing and freshning up, I slipped my trainers on and my bag and headed out the door. I texted Naima, telling her not to worry when I wasnt there when she woke up because I was looking around the town.

Walking down the steps, I looked around my surroundings. The houses were fairly similar, though they did have some difference in them. I started walking towards the direction that looked like would head to a road. When I saw a market, I figured they would have an aspirin. Taking a chance, I went inside, and fortunatley, they did. When I walked out of the store, I stopped, and contemplated which way I came from. Looking at the street on the left, it looked much more familiar then the one on the right, so I walked, and walked, until I finally saw the neighborhood I moved in too.

I walked towards our new home, looking at my watch, I noticed it was past noon. I guess it was the perfect time to get some beds. I walked up to my door and twisted in my key. As I walked in, I saw a couple of boys going in to the house next door. I hadn't met any of our neighbors, so I wouldn't know who they were. Walking in, the house was bright and clean. Raising my eyebrows, I looked around. As I walked into my room, I saw Naima sitting on my bed. WAIT. Bed? ''Naima?'' I asked. She looked up, smiling as she walked towards me. ''How do we have a bed? I-I didnt buy one-'' I stuttered, very confused, though waiting for an explanation. ''Well, when you were gone this morning, which fortunatley took longer than I expected-'' She said. I looked at my watch, it was half past noon, meaning I was gone for 3 hours, What? The hours past faster then I anticipated. ''Since your parents bought the house, so we dont pay rent, and eveything was set, my parents thought it would only be fair if I they bought the beds. When you left, minutes later the bed shop workers came and set up our beds. SURPRISE!'' She screamed, pulling me into a tight hug. I was surprised, and very impressed, Naima wasn't much of the planner, and she always did everything last minute, but this, she did good. And she got the perfect bed for me. ''Thankyou!'' I yelled, holding her tighter. ''Alright, alright, the hug is over '' She laughed, pulling away from me.

I walked into my closet, seeing everything was set. ''You put my clothes away too?'' I said excited. She wiggled her eyebrows and nodded. I smiled, showing her my appreciation. I fell on top of my bed. Feeling sleep come over me, ''Im going to sleep! Wake me up in an hour!'' I screamed to Naima. ''ALRIGHT!'' She yelled back. I closed by eyes and let sleep take me away.

***********

I woke up hearing laughter in the living room. ''What?'' I questioned myself. I was pretty sure that we knew no one in London, and we had yet to meet out neighbors. I got up, straightning myself. I looked at my mirror, fixing my wavy hair to its usual self. I twisted my bedroom door, and opened it wide. Walking through the hallway, heading towards the living room, I head two male voices. Raising my eyebrow, I walked faster, and stopped right before the living room entrance. I walked slowly, and widened my eyes. A boy with brown curls sitting on the kitchen stools and a boy with blonde hair on leaning on the table, Naima was laughing, she blushed at the unexpected compliment that I hadn't heard due to the loud laughter echoing through the flat.

When Naima noticed me, her eyes widened as she put her hands on her mouth. ''Im so sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up, I just got carried away from these boys, Im sorry!'' She apologised. ''No, dont worry, I was planning to wake up anyway'' I assured her. By now, the two boys turned from their positions and walked towards me. ''Im Harry. Im actually your neighbor, and this is Niall, he's a friend of mine. Its nice to finally meet you'' He said, putting his hands forward. I smiled as I shook his hand. Niall then walked towards me with red cheeks. ''Hello'' He smiled. ''Hi'' I replied. We stood there not saying a word to eachother. Fortunatley Harry decided to break the silence. ''So, you girls just moved here?'' He asked. ''Yeah, actually me moved here yesterday'' I replied. ''Where from? Your accents show you're not from around here'' He joked. ''Well, we both are from America, Naima and I both got jobs here and decided, why not? So we bought a house, and moved!'' I laughed. ''Woah, sounds like the real deal'' He joked again. ''Yup, I guess it is!'' I smiled. We then moved ourselves to the couch, talking about everything. I told them about Naima and I's jobs. My obsession with feathers, and Naima's obsession with shoes. We were in the middle of watching a movie when I got up to make myself some hot cocoa.

''Need any help?'' A voice said from behind me. I turned around, jumping, as I clutched my heart from beating rate. ''Oops, didn't mean to scare you'' Said Niall with a smirk. ''Dont worry, I just thought no one noticed when I got up'' I replied. I turned back to the counter, finishing my cocoa. ''Want a glass?'' I asked, turning my head to my shoulder to catch a glance of Niall sitting on the table. He nodded as I continued making the cocoa. After I fillied four glassed up, I gave one to Niall, then walked towards Harry and Naima who seemed to be getting fairly cozy. ''Thanks'' They both said. ''No problemo'' I joked.

I walked back to the kitchen where Niall was waiting for me. I sat on the stool, facing Niall as I smiled widely drinking my cocoa. ''So-'' We both said in unison. We laughed and laughed until we completely forgot what the joke was. ''What were we laughing about'' I said, between giggles. ''I have no idea'' He laughed. His braces showing as he smiled widely. ''You have an adorable smile'' I teased him, pinching his cheeks. His face turned red, turning his head as he tried to hide the smile. ''Awwww- you're adorable'' I teased again. ''So, I started again, tell me about yourself?'' I asked. ''Umm- I dont know, what do you want to know?'' He asked. ''20 questions?''' We said in unison. We both nodded, laughing. ''Alright. you start'' I told him.

''Favourite color?'' ''Blue, Favourite animal?'' I asked. ''Giraffe, favourite drink?'' ''Root beer, one place you want to go in your life?'' ''Mexico, Have any pets?'' ''I have a cat back home, favourite food?'' ''Anything edible, any secret talents?'' He asked, ''I can do this'' I said as I licked touched my nose with my tongue. ''Cool, how'd you do that?'' He asked, crossing his eyes attempting to lick his nose but failed miserably. We laughed for what felt like ages until Harry and Naima interrupted us.

We headed back to the movie and teased Naima as she cried over the sad parts. After the movie finished, the boys headed back to their houses after exchanging their numbers. We said our goodbyes and I headed to bed, I was exhausted. I gave Naima a hug and thanked her once again for the beds and headed to my beautiful slumber of sleep. ''G'night babes'' I heard Naima say from the other room. ''Good night munchkins!''

******************

''WAKE UP! ITS TIME TO WAKE UP'' The voice screamed into my ears. I scrunched my nose, and opened my eyes, expecting to find Naimas face, I jumped up as I came face to face with Niall. ''What are you doing here?'' I screamed, my eyes wide open, as the sudden shock made me clutch my heart. ''Im here to wake you up!'' He chuckled, ''NO DUH CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!'' I screamed. I wasn't a morning person, and that wasn't going to change any time soon. Niall looked taken back, he got off my bed and walked towards my door. ''Wait'' I said. ''Sorry Niall, Im just not a morning person, and I wasn't exactly expecting you to wake me up from all people'' I smile. He laughed, tilting his head back as he walked back to his previous position. He sat at the end of my bed and stared at me. I fell back to my bed and yawned. Niall walked around the bed and lay down beside me. I turned my head towards him. Getting lost in his eyes, it was almost intoxicating. I couldnt help but feel a tingle in my stomache. Was I falling for Niall?
