Niall's POV

THREE DAYS LATER.

It's been two days since I cancelled Carina and my date and I feel terrible about it.

I had planned on asking her out to be my girlfriend, so this date was way too special.

But maybe, it had to wait.

I feel the guilt take over me as I drive back home after work.

Also, I feel tired and exhausted. The work load has been crazily tiring this past week.

Once in the parking of my apartment, I jog across to Carina's cafe.

I walk in and she isn't anywhere around.

I frown as I walk up to the counter.

"Hey, isn't Carina here?", I ask the funny guy who works in her cafe.

"Um, she's here. She's talking on the phone", he says as he points at a door behind the counter.

I nod.

"Carina's kept your coffee ready", the purple haired girl said to me with a huge smile on her face as she handed me my coffee.

I nodded with a simple smile and wasted as much time as I slowly took my wallet out and pay for my coffee so that I can see Carina.

Carina arrived from the back door with her eyebrows furrowed, when suddenly she looked at me and froze.

She took small steps as she walks out of the counter and in front of me, "Hey".

"Hi, how have you been?", I blurted out.

"Alright. How about you, been pretty busy, I suppose", she said in return.

"Yeah, work's been crazy. The band will finish recording their album after three days", I said as I ran my hand over my forehead.

"Oh, another three days of misery", she laughed and I feel better already.

The funny boy behind her counter clears his throat and smirks at Carina.

She rolls her eyes at him and motioned for me to move outside her cafe.

I followed her and once we're out, I took a deep breath.

"Carina, I'm really sorry about our date. I didn't expect something like that to happen", I said as I looked at my brown boots.

"That's alright. I understand, you were pretty tied with work. I know you wouldn't have just cancelled our date", she said and I looked up.

There's a light smile on her face.

"At first I was being paranoid and thought that maybe you didn't want to go out on another date with me, but then I trust you. So I believed and understood that you're just busy with work", she said making eye contact with me.

"You must know that I would never cancel a date with you, because you are special to me", I said as I took her hand in mine.

She blushed at this and a wide grin spread across her face.

"I planned on something special for us, but it looks like it has to wait for a while", I said as I intertwined our fingers.

She raised her eyebrows at me and smiled widely.

God, that beautiful smile.

"Yeah, so I won't promise to take you out this weekend, but if I don't get tied up at work we could just go out somewhere?", I stated but it sounded like question.

"Yes".

"Alright, but don't be mad at me incase work comes up. I won't be able to live with the fact at you're mad at me", I said dramatically as I put my hand over my heart and she laughed.

I kissed the back of her palm and an old couple passing by us said, "Aw, y'all look cute together. Nice couple".

I waved at them as they walked past us and down on to the other street.

Carina's face was a shade of bright red and I probably reflected this look of hers.

"Alright, I'll see ya tomo", I said as I kissed the back of her palm again and let go.

"See ya", she replied before getting back in her cafe.

.

After having a good hot shower, I decided to walk to my spare room which had my guitars and work related stuff.

It's been quite some time since I've played my guitar.

I haven't played the guitar ever since I've shifted in my new apartment.

I was clearly in no mood to write a song, but I'd definitely sing ones that I've composed earlier.

I entered the spare bedroom where I eyed my guitars which were laid with utmost tidiness and splendor.

I walked closer to the open rack which had eight of my six stringed instruments. I couldn't decide on which one to choose.

After what felt like the most difficult decision, I picked up my red guitar. I walked to the drawer and picked up a guitar pick.

With my guitar in my hand, I walked to my balcony and sat on the floor.

I rested my back against the wall and positioned my guitar on my thighs.

I strummed the strings and a smile formed over my face.

Music has always been my escape.

I strummed the strings again and again until I'm playing a song.

It's not too soon that I start singing,

I know what she's like
She's out of her mind
And wraps herself around the truth
She'll jump on that flight and meet you that night
And make you tear up the room

Yeah, she loves when everybody's watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you

She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming)
She's on the loose (she's coming)
She's coming for you
She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming)
She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming for you)

.

.

One songs lead to another and before I've realised I've sang about four songs.

Looking at the time on my cellphone beside me, I decide to make myself some dinner.

I tossed slices of bread in the toaster and heated a pan on the stove as I fetched the baked beans, sliced mushrooms and eggs.

Once I found them, I put them into the pan and within a few minutes my dinner was ready.

I plate it down as I put the used utensils in the dish washer and walk to the dining table.

I scrolled through Instagram, stalking Carina's account as I finished dinner.

Once I'm done with dinner and stalking Carina, I decided to watch the television.

My phone goes off after a few minutes indicating that I've received a new text.

Louis: Hi mate, I'm here in Ireland for a short time. Let's catch up this weekend x

Uh oh, this is going to be a long weekend.
