Listening to Niall
Chapter 6: A bad feeling
From: Harry
Hi, so my car's in the shop.
Would you be able to just meet wherever we chose?
From: Jamie
Sure. Where shell I meet you?
From: Harry
Fancy meeting at the port?
From: Jamie
Fine by me. Though I won't make it in time for six.
From: Harry
It's ok lets meet by the market.
From: Jamie
I have no idea where that is.
From: Harry
Ok, call me when you get to the port I'll come and find you.
From: Jamie
All right. See you there
It is 4 a clock. If I want to get anywhere near six to meet Harry I need to leave soon.
I'm wearing my white jumper and skinny jeans. Eleanor is out with Louie so I do my own makeup. I put on a little eyeliner and some blusher. A little is more in my opinion.
I got my purse and left.
"Ni How do I get to the port from here?" I ask when Niall answers his phone
"Why isn't Harry picking you up?" He asked
"The car is in the shop, and frankly I don’t care meeting him he doesn't need to chauffeur me around all the time" I say
"I'll remember that Monday morning" Niall said
"It's different with you" I say
"How's that?"
"It just is" I say "So how do I get there?"
"Want me to drive you?"
"No, you can't drive me to my date" I say
"Take a taxi" He suggest
"NO, I don’t have the money for a taxi. I'll take the bus, the train whatever" I say
I finely managed to make my way to the port and I'm a half an hour late.
"Hi" I say when Harry answers
"You here?" He asked
"Yes"
"Ok, tell me what you see"
"Well, there's a 'Top shop' here" I started
"I know where you are I'm coming" He said
"Ok" and I hang up the phone.
A few minutes pass and I see Harry walking to me, I start my way to meet him.
"Sorry" I say
"What for?" He looked confused
"For being late, there was so much traffic"
"Its fine, I think I should have picked an easier place to get to" He smiled
"No this is great" I said "I love the ocean"
"Yeah it's nice" He agreed with me
"So there is this sushi place, do you like sushi?" He looked at me as we started walking
"Sure, I learned to eat it last year. Niall said that it's an acquired taste and made me eat it once a week" I said blabbered. That made him laugh
"We don't have to eat there" he said
"No, no it's fine" I smiled
We started walking again.
"So was it difficult getting here? You came with a car?" Harry looked at me. Wow he is so tall
"No I came by bus I can't drive and it was fine there is a bus that gets close and the driver explained how to walk the rest of the way" I said. Harry gave me a funny look.
"I don't really know my way around places, I can never remember how to get places" I said.
"That's why you don't drive?" He asked
"No. I'm scared though I should learn" I sighed
"Scared?" He asked
"I was in a car crash two years ago" I say
"Oh" He said to that.
We walked silently for a bit.
"Did you wait a long time?" I asked him
"It's fine I was listening to music relaxing" He showed his left dimple.
We got to the Sushi place. He asked me if I rather sit by a table or one of those cushion things on the floor. I picked the table. He already knows I have trouble finding how to get places he doesn’t need to know that I can't eat right either.
"Did you study today?" I asked him as the waitress brought over the menu.
"No, I study only Mondays to Wednesdays" He said "I have a big paper to give in on Monday so that’s what I did today" He said "What do you fancy eating?" He asked
We checked out the menu making jokes of bizarre things they offer.
We finely let the waitress know what we wanted. She was busy checking Harry out and trying to get his attention. I could tell he noticed what she was trying to do and felt uncomfortable.
"So do you like your roommates?" I asked as the waitress walked away.
"Yes. They both study the same as me but one is a year ahead" He said
"That is good for you" I smile
"You bet" He then went on explaining what they're like and how hard school can be.
The waitress came back with Harrys order. He ignored the food in front of him and continued talking and asking me about the different projects I'm working on and what I use to make the different things.
"Are you waiting for her?" The waitress asked Harry coming back with the water we asked for.
"Umm yes" He said looking at her then looking at me.
"Fine, I'll bring her dish fast" she said walking away.
"I wander who are the people she hangs out with" I say a little hurt from her rudeness
"Probably not that many" Harry smiled
She came back with my food and after making sure Harry was ok she left again.
We were telling each other funny stories of our jobs and funny things that happened in class.
When we were done Harry asked for the bill.
I put some money to cover my dish expenses. I didn't want him to pay for me again.
He looked at me funny but said nothing.
After paying we got up and started walking.
"So we both are going back by bus" He smiled
"You're going back to campus?" I asked wandering why we didn't come here together then
"Yeah I took the car to the shop and when I found out it needs to stay there for a day I let you know and made my way here" He said. Well that explains
"So this one time at the physical therapy center" I started another story from the millions of them we were telling each other. "This guy comes in and he was so mad that I couldn't give him an appointment then and there he threw the phone at me" I said
"No way! Did he get you?" Harry asked shocked
"No. I moved just in time" I said
"I can't believe it! What happened after that?" He asked
"He got thrown out" I smiled
"Some people are just crazy" he was shaking his head
We got to campus and he walked me to my dorm.
"So have a goodnight and I'll talk to you" He smiled
"Yes, Thanks" I said. I stood there for a minute watching him walk away, and then made my way up the stairs.
As I got to my flat I saw Niall sitting outside.
"What are you doing here?" I asked
"Well El isn’t here and I didn't want you to come back to an empty room with no one to ask how your date had been" He smiled
I looked at him for a moment shocked. What a sweet thing to do.
"Well don't just sit there come in" I said moving him out the way so I can unlock the door.
"How was it?" He asked walking in after me
"I don't know" I said
"What do you mean?"
"I mean it was fun but I have this feeling" I tried explaining.
I told him where we ate and what we talked about.
"So it sounds like it went well" He said
"No" I sat down on my bed. Niall came and sat next to me. I hate it when people sit on my covers. The only two people in the whole world that are allowed are Ni and El.
"Wait and see what Harry has to say" he said giving me a hug.
"I reckon I have too" I sigh
"It'll be fine" He said getting up.
"Yep" I give him a weak smile getting up after him and walking him to the door.
"Give me a call when you wake up tomorrow we can go to breakfast"
"Sure will. Thanks Ni for being here" I kiss his cheek.
As I get ready for bed I can't get the thought out of my head and the feeling in my stomach
This whole thing is wrong.
