How We Met (chapter two)

I woke up in the sofa with Phoebe at my side and Hailey snoring in the carpet, the TV was on, and the news were announcing the weather for the next week. I moved from my position trying to make the lower noise possible, and went to the shower. When I finished, I started getting dry while looking my reflection in the mirror. I really didn’t understand what was so interesting in me that he liked so much to stalk me all day. As I saw it I had a normal face, I wasn’t ugly, but either stunning, my eyes were big and brown, my nose was tiny and with a pretty shape, my lips weren’t heart shaped like I always wanted, my teeth were straight and I was thankful for that, a expenditure less to worry about. My thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a loud knock at the bathroom door.

-EMMA, OPEN THE DAMN DOOR WE ALL NEED THE BATHROOM!!!-

I quickly took my things, grabbed the towel around my chest and open the door to let a running Hailey enter the bathroom.

***

-What are you wearing?- Phoebe asked me, what I found totally hypocrite cause she was still in her yesterday’s clothes.

-Em… clothes?- I answered a little bit confused it was Saturday in midday and I wasn’t going anywhere.

-Well, go change nicer, we are going out-

-Where are we going?-

-It doesn’t matter the day is pretty, so go and put a nice dress-

-Ok, I’ll go change, you don’t have to be so rude- I said while going to my room. ‘Better said bossy’ I thought to myself, after all jeans and a tank top wasn’t that bad.

***

When I finished I kept walking down the corridor to the living room. What I found in the sofa left me frozen for a second. Hailey was talking to a guy that was giving me his back, Niall.

-Emma! You are ready- almost yelled Hailey. Niall turned his body to see me, clear blue eyes seemed to sink into mines.

-hi- was the only thing that he said

-hi Niall- I came closer to greet him whit a kiss on the cheek.

-em… Hailey where’s Phoebe?-

-She’s in her room-

-Could you wait a little bit? I’ll be right back- I said turning to Niall

- Yeah sure – he replied with a smile in his face.

What was he doing here? I didn’t invite him, did I? And why was Hailey still in a towel? I’m so stupid in the mornings, well it was midday but the same. I didn’t say anything to Niall, this is all Phoebe’s fault.

-What is he doing here? - I asked when I entered Phoebe’s room

- Who? – She replied with a fake innocence, while pouring cream all over her arms.

- Niall, who else?- I was pissed and her attitude didn’t make it better

-oh him, he called yesterday after you fell asleep, and he wouldn’t stop calling so I thought I could help you to not look ill-mannered in front of a boy and I pretended to be you and set a date with him- she spoke like it was the most normal thing to do.

-I’m going to kill you-

-C’mon Emma it’s just one date, you’ll have fun, and if I were you I would hurry cause Hailey is about to do a nude dance to your boyfriend-

-yeah what’s wrong with her?-

-I seriously don’t know- I started walking away thinking that Niall was already here it would be rude if I told him that I didn’t invite him. I stopped turn around and said- he’s not my boyfriend- Phoebe laughed

-ok, ok, just go- I restarted my way to the living. Niall seemed relieved to see me, and who could blame him Hailey was all over him.

-Shall we go Niall?- I asked nodding my head towards the door

-yeah- he said raising from the sofa

-and Hailey… put on some clothes please-

-why? It’s my house after all- I just left, I didn’t want to discuss the topic anymore. I lead Niall to the front door .

***

-Sorry about that- I turned my eyes from the floor to his.

-what? Your friends? They were nice-

-You say that because they were seminude-

-No I say it because they set me up with you-

-You knew? - I was a little bit relived by that, there was no doubt that they would’ve said anything.

-it was pretty obvious, I don’t think it’s your style telling a guy that you are horny- I couldn’t help but laugh.

-Where are you going? – Niall called me, I turn around to see him a few steps back.

-em… I don’t know I supposed you had a plan-

- Yeah I do, but I also have a car- he said showing me his keys and waving them in the air.

-aah, much better- I said walking to the car, it was a Volkswagen golf of three doors, I loved it- I didn’t knew you had a car-

-yeah the thing is that my friend asked me for it yesterday so I couldn’t come in it with you- he said with a smile in his face, he always was with a smile in his face- your carriage my lady- he said opening the car door and letting me in, I laugh a little and thanked him. I waited for him to climb the other side of the car.

***

-Here we are!- said Niall pulling over in front of a restaurant. The ride hadn't been so awkward like it mostly happened to me, I rarely had started the conversation with a simple question of what was our destination and it went on easily, thanking to God and the radio that there was never an awkward silence. In personal matters the silence never bothered me but I knew most people did.

He opened my door for me to get out of the car to wich I replied with a smile in my face and a barely audible 'thank you'. he wasted no time in taking my hand in his, it was much warmer than mine, just what I needed, mine was freezing ad it hurt. As we waited for the receptionist to look over the reservation list Niall swayed back and forth, he must've been nervous, with no reason really, but he kept smiling to me what caused me once or twice to turn my vision away, why did I had to be so shy? normal people would've flirt back or something, I don't know. The average looking girl lead us to our table. Niall moved my chair for me to seat in.

Once we had ordered our food i couldn't shut my mouth to ask what had been playing inside of my head since we entered to his car.

-Why are you doing all these?- I looked directly in his eyes to catch every thought that crossed his mind with the sound of my voice.

-I like you, I thought that was clear- he said after a moment without taking his vision out of my eyes for a single second. I couldn't help but shyly smile and divert my vision, the tablecloth becoming as interesting as a piece of art. I could felt his eyes stil on me and shivers ran down my spine. I awkwardly coughed and abruptly changed the topic.

-Do you work?- he laughed a little to my question.- or study ?... or something?

-yes I... I work, I'm a barman in a club-

- oh, cool- it was the only thing that I could reply.

-and ... what do you do for life?-

- I'm in Uni, I'm stdying medicine- and to be honest I had a test on monday that I should be studying for instead of being here.

-wow tough one-

- I know- haha, I laughed at my own petty joke, I'm so weird.

The waitress came with our orders hot and delicious I had asked for meat with salad and Niall didn't find anything more amusing than to copy me. I immediately started eating and saboring the food, I was starving I hadn't had eaten since the late hours of yesterday.

- Do you like it?- he says already with an advantege of fastness to eat

- the food? totally- he laughd a little

-no, I mean, medicine, you like it?-

-yeah- I said not very convinced of the answer my self.

- it doesn't sound like it- he then grabbed his glass and drank a little bit.

- well, when I finished school i didn't know what to do or study and my dad always told me to pick medicine because I had all the habilities to do it, and also it otorgated me a lot of money, and I applied for it and I got in, after a time I started liking it, and here I am-

-you always follow your father's say?-

- no, but I never got interested on nothing so i thought it wouldn't hurt the try-

- you never liked anything?-

-no- I shooked my head slowly- and that was my main problem, I was always good at everything math, english, biology, chemistry, physics, history, teachers always asked me what i wanted to study or do after school and the answer never camed to me, i would say that i was to oung to knew and it would be solved by my future me, but my future me never solved it-

A moment passed Niall left speechless on the other side of the table, may be thinking of my problem. On the other hand i was still with almost all my plate full my eating process being interrupted by my words. That's what bothered me more of eating and talking I always thought that we had to have another mouth for this sort of situatioin.

- and what about you? you like being a barman?- i asked to changed the roles and he would be the one seaking and not eating.

-yes, actually all started by a way of getting money but then i discovered i could drink freely and also flirt with some costumers- his comment made me laugh, and I felt a little jealous he must live from party to party.

We soon finished eating and Niall payed the bill. He took my hand and lead to his car. Niall once again opened my door alouding my entrance to his car. He rapidly jogged in front of the car to the driver's seat, fastening his seatbelt he said

- this isn't over yet there's one more place I want you to meet-.
