Love & The City
1st Encounter
'b home in a sec' I text to Anne as I walk down the street with three coffees on a tray and lots of donuts in my backpack. I'm such a stereotype - addicted to Starbucks, donuts and texting. It's gotten so bad, I already skip one single letter. Whatever, who gives a fuck? I also swear so much recently, my mother would be shocked.
As I wander on completely lost in my thoughts, I suddenly bump into someone and spill nearly all of the coffee over him.
"Shit, I'm so sorry!" I say and look up. Simultaneously, he yells "Watch it!" very angrily.
Nothing I should be surprised about we're in New York, everyone's angry here. And I did soak his white tank top and dark grey skinny jeans with hot coffee. But something about his voice is... familiar?
Looking into his face I realise why. Holy crap, it's Niall Horan!
"Not enough having these bloody paps glued to my ass everywhere I go, now you fucking burned me! And ruined my outfit." The last sentence is accompanied by a chuckle. His expression has softened and even turns into a little smile as I nervously stutter "S-s-s-orry"
All of a sudden, I notice people surrounding us, shouting (mostly 'Niall!') and the clicking of cameras along with bright flashes of lightning. My eyes and ears are hurting, Niall is looking extremely pissed again.
Without thinking, I grab his hand and drag him out of the crowd, towards a small bookstore.
"Hi Jim, gotta use your backdoor!" I shout rushing inside and through a door behind the counter. "OK" he replies hesitantly and confused.
On the little floot the door leeds to I can hear his voice again, louder now "No, you can't go in there - staff only!" I grin and slow my sprint.
Realising that I'm still clutching Niall's hand I let go while stepping out the backdoor. I turn around on the stinky alley to face him. "Sorry again" I gasp, still out of breath from the little stunt I just pulled "I just thought you might want to get away, I know I did. This was the first thing, that came to my mind. I know the owner, because my best friend works here. And I do kind of owe you. It was totally my fault, I didn't watch where I was going. I'm sincerely sorry! " I look down at his coffee-stained clothes sheepishly.
He smiles warmly down at me "No need to apologize babe. I am the one who's sorry for screaming at you." He did not just call me that, I swear he turns my knees to jelly!
"But, erm... still I want to do something, like you know, to make it up to you, because, well..." Fuck, why is it so hard to form a coherent sentence? It cold be his beautiful blue eyes looking at me... Ok, pull yourself together now, after all he's just human too. I gather up all the courage I can find in me an propose: "My roommate is about your size, I'm sure he would give you some neat clothes." *deep breath* "You could come to our place maybe... It's just two blocks away." Oh god, oh god, oh god!!!
"Does the way lead us near the paparazzi again?" he asks cautiously. I simply shake my head, unable to utter a single word. He smiles and grabs my hand "Where to then?"
Notes
Hey y'all!
This is my first fanfic so I'm not sure where this is going to go yet and I really need some feedback. Please subscribe and comment what you think, what you like & dislike, where & how I could improve, etc. But please don't be too mean ^^.
I am actually from Germany and study english (please don't judge my creativity ;D) so for those of you whose english is better: message me when you find any grammar or spelling mistakes or whatever, because I of course want to improve my language, too.
That's it for the first chapter, maybe it's a bit short I don't know. I already know what's going to happen in the next chapter, so it shouldn't be too long until I upload.
Enjoy your weekend ;*
