Wrecking Ball
Chapter 2
‘SAMII, BREAKFAST’S UP’
I groaned and rolled over looking at my clock on my nightstand. 10:32. What was Grace doing up this early! Because of our late shifts we normally didn't rise until at least 11:30. I sat up and ran my hand through my tangled blonde hair, heaving myself up I looked in my mirror. I didn't bother wiping my makeup off last night as I was too tired so I now resembled an endangered species.
‘SAMII, GET YOUR ARSE MOVING OR I'M EATING IT ALL’
I sighed at my best friends attempt at a good morning and quickly wiped my face and looked in the mirror.
Walking into the kitchen my nose was filled with the aroma of pancakes. I looked over at the stove and saw Grace singing and wiggling her hips a little, was her good mood down to her friendly chat last night with our mysterious blonde man?
‘Morning gorgeous’ I managed to get out before I yawned.
‘Good morning’ Grace almost sang.
I had never seen her this awake before 12 and there was definitely a reason for it. I helped myself to a few pancakes Grace had made and sat down at our breakfast bar. I took this time to look around our new kitchen, we had just moved in a few days ago. It was little and didn't have much room to move in but we loved it. I was brought back to reality by the sound of Grace sitting opposite me.
‘Well aren't we very happy this morning, anything you want to tell me about last night and your friend?’
Grace suddenly blushed and nearly exploded with excitement.
‘His name is Niall and we just started chatting last night after I served him and he is just so charming. Plus he is Irish.’
I smiled at my best friend as she spoke; she was so full of life and never failed to make me smile.
‘…..and he has invited us both out tomorrow night.’
I only caught the end of what she just said.
‘Won’t I be gate crashing your date.’ Grace laughed.
‘It isn’t a date, plus Niall said he had some guys he wanted us to meet.’
I nearly chocked on my pancake, had Grace forgotten about what had happened with my ex-boyfriend about 6 months ago. I shuddered at the memory.
‘I know what you’re thinking about Samii but I really like him and I don’t want to go alone. Pllleeeeeeeeaaaseeeee.’
I looked into Graces puppy dog stare and I knew I couldn't say no to her.
‘Fine, but I’m not happy about it.’ I said as I stood and dumped my plate into the sink.
Before I could leave Grace gripped me in a hug.
‘Thank you Samii, you’re the best.’
