Niall's P.O.V.
She followed me down the alley. The alleyway had streets of cobblestone. It felt like if we were in one of this old movies, where everyone had to be proper and talk in funny accents. I'm not complaining about my accent though. Mine isn't as bad as those movies portray them to be. Every once in a while I'd find myself looking at her. Her smile just made me smile, it was contagious. She made me get this feeling. . . I've never felt like this before, especially with a stranger. Uh oh. No Niall, we just met, don't go all crazy lovestruck pop star on her, she's been through enough today! Her smile could brighten anyone's day, though! I mean just look at her! I couldn't say anything without making it awkward, so I didn't say a word. I wanted to get to know her though. Of course I don't want her to think I'm trying to act like some hotshot. We are practically strangers to each other and she doesn't seem to be the crazy fangirling frenzy type. I've known many other girls, but none as interesting as her or as beautiful. It was quiet for a while, until she noticed that I was looking for something. It was more like looking for someone, that someone being Paul.
"Hey, Niall. . .are you looking for something? You seem to be checking every corner, like a detective. What are you looking for?" She asked.
I teasingly replied, "I Sherlock Holmes, am looking for a someone to solve the mystery. . ."
She giggled slightly and replied with a simple question, "Who?"
"You'll see." I replied, knowing that Paul was close.
I knew where I was going. Paul always knew where I'd be in this situation. I was just looking for. ..aha! Found it. I grabbed the girl's wrist and lead her towards a black car. I knew that was Paul. He sat in the driver's seat. He always knew where I would be if this thing happened. I walked up beside it, opening the door. By then I had already let go of her wrist. I had a bad habit of grabbing a pretty girls wrist. What can I say, habits are habits. This habit was a one time thing. Just with her. When I saw that she didn't get in, I came back out. She seemed tense and unsure with eyes of worry. I needed to console her and calm her down.
"Hey what's wrong? Why aren't you in the car? I promise I'm going to get you to that audition, OK. " I said locking eyes with her.
She nodded, "OK. No one's going to know I'm with you, right? I can't handle paps. I don't know how you do it."
I smirked, "It takes practice and the paps won't know I was with you. We both will keep it as a secret. Our little secret. Got it."
She teasingly pushed me over, "Got it. You know this is my first time talking to a celebrity, your not so bad."
I acted shocked, "Me, bad, noo."
I scoffed. She giggled at hearing me be sarcastic. I could listen to her giggle all day and never get tired listening to it. Her voice is just, so, so her. Am I making any sense?
"I think I'm ready now." She said confidently.
I replied, "You'll do great! If your ready for this, then you can take on the world."
She smiled warmly, giving me butterflies in my stomach and everywhere in between, "Thanks Niall."
I opened the door for her and she got in, sitting on the backseat of the car. I closed it and got in the front. We both buckled our seatbelts. Safety first! Paul only looked at me with a concerning face. I only smiled nervously.
"Paul I'm going to take her to an audition. She is late and it was my fault. . .Can you please drive us to . . ." I stopped, where was it she was having the audition?
She finished my sentence, "The London Arena, please."
I nodded at Paul, as he only chuckled. What was so funny? Was it me? What did I do?
Paul introduced himself, "I'm Paul, his body guard and the other boys' body guard. Nice to meet you. . . "
That reminded me. I didn't ask her for her name!!! I'm such an idiot. She noticed, when I got uneasy.
She came up behind me and said, "My name's Ruby. Ruby Elena Esmeralda Rodriguez. You can me Ruby for short, though."
I felt my cheeks flushed to a bright red color. What a pretty name! Ruby. I've never met someone with a name quite like hers. As I got lost deep in thought about her, I snapped back when I heard chuckles. I looked to see Paul trying to contain his chuckles. He wasn't very good at it, though. Couldn't you stop Paul. She's right here, ya know! I directed my attention towards her again.
"Nice to meet you Paul!" She said kindly.
It would take at least 30 minutes to get there, so I decided to get to know her better. What? She's the guest and well now that we've met and we know each other's names, that's the best next thing, right? Not that I'm trying to get her to like me or anything. . . .
"So Ruby, where are you from?" I asked interested.
She replied, "I'm from the U.S, specifically the Midwest in Nebraska, but my parents are hispanic and are from Central America."
I had heard about the Midwest, we usually would pass by Kansas for our U.S. Take Me Home tour. I've never heard or been to Nebraska, though. I wondered what was it like? It probably wasn't like Ireland of London, but different is always good. Especially her kind of different, plus from her voice and full name, I could tell she spoke Spanish. Bilingual, not bad. Paul only elbowed me, I snapped back to reality.
"My friends and family live there." She said as I heard clanking.
She taped my shoulder, handing me something. . .
Ruby's P.O.V.
I was uncertain about getting in a car with a stranger and a popstar. The stranger was actually his bodyguard. You could tell that he worked out. . . Niall seemed concerned when I didn't get in the car. . .no, he wouldn't do that. He's just helping me out since I bumped into him. Nothing big, right. . .
I began explaining about my family and friends, when I saw Paul elbow him. I only muffled my giggle and handed Niall my locket with a picture of me and my brothers and my parents. Niall took the necklace from my hand, I heard him open it and look at it.
"This is your family?" He asked, his Irish voice being music to my ears.
I replied, "Yeah. The two boys in the first picture beside me are my brothers. I'm the middle child. My older brother Alex is 24, while my youngest brother Ames is 18 and just graduated college. Then on the other side, those are my parents. They met in New York and moved to Nebraska and raised us, there."
Niall replied, "You look a lot like your dad and younger brother. "
I chuckled, "I get that a lot."
I heard him chuckle, "So if your older brother is 24 and your younger brother is 18, then how old are you? If you don't mind me asking."
I was literally fangirling in my seat. Niall Horan just asked how old I was. I'm having an actually conversation with him!!!! He's awesome and cute, but I'm sure he's met girls much prettier than me. I'm not that important or exciting as he was.
"No, I don't mind. I'm 19 but I will be 20 is a few months time. So yeah, there's a bit if an age difference." I said, suddenly hearing a phone ring.
It wasn't mine, nor Paul's. It was Niall's. He pulled out his phone and answered the call. . .
"Hello, Niall here." He said talking into the phone.
A voice was heard, it sounded male, but I had no idea who it was.
Niall kept talking, "Oh, hi Harry. Look I'm a little occupied at the moment, but I will be back at the in 30 minutes, tops."
He stopped as the voice from the phone began talking again. He said Harry, wait, that isn't Harry, as in Harry Styles, is it?!?! No way! Awesome! Best day ever! I was literally jumping in my seat. Paul seem to notice as he sent me a wink and a chuckle. I only blushed stopping my childish behavior.
Niall then spoke again, "Oh, alright mate, I'll get there as soon as I can. Don't worry, I ran into a. . . minor complication. See ya soon Harry, bye."
He hung up. Harry seemed to say something, but I didn't catch it. Maybe Niall was being brief with him, but of course it wasn't any of my business. I kept quiet. I only fiddled with the shirt I wore. I had to admit, I could smell his calougne. It smelled good, to be honest.
Niall said, "Sorry, it was Harry. He was wondering when I would be getting back. Don't worry, he's just wanting me to get him some Starbucks coffee."
I replied, furrowing my eyebrows, "Well you better bring everyone else one. "
Niall looked at me intrigued, "Why? They didn't ask me."
I smirked, "Niall James Horan, didn't your mother ever teach you that "sharing is caring". If you buy a coffee for Harry, then you buy one for Liam, Louis, Zayn, and yourself."
Niall teasingly replied, "Oh so now your my mother. Yes, Mom."
I tried my best to imitate a London accent, "Yes, mate. You should share, mate. If you don't, then your as bad as the rest of the boys who don't have any coffee. Does Niall Horan not have enough money to buy some Starbucks?"
Niall laughed scrunching his nose, he was so cute when he did that.
"No, I have enough money and you sound like Liam and Louis. I think you're forgetting someone. . ." Niall said smirking.
I only smirked, "Paul! You forgot Paul. He deserves Starbucks, just look at him. He'd take a bullet for you, its his job. He deserves a little appreciation."
Paul's face brightened up, "Thank you, Sweetie!!! You are one of the nicest girls I've met. Don't worry, Niall is Irish, the Irish can be stubborn at times. . .especially this one."
He gestured to Niall, making me giggle and Niall nod "no" at what he had said.
"Its ok, we all can be stubborn sometimes. . . I know I can be stubborn when it means I can have some ice cream. I'd do anything for ice cream, I just love it! One thing you should know about me is that I love ice cream. " I said really wanting one at the moment.
Niall turned to look at me, "Whats your favorite flavor?"
I replied, "Chocolate chip cookie dough. . .or Mint Chocolate chip. Whats yours?"
Niall thought about it, but before he could say something Paul interrupted him, " Sorry to interrupt, but we are here. Go out there and chase your dreams darling! Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do. Shoot for the stars! Oh and don't ever change yourself, you are a wonderful girl!"
I smiled and got out of the car and ran right towards the window in the driver seat, where Paul was. The window rolled down. Paul was smiling from ear to ear. I smiled back. What a nice guy!
"Thanks Paul, I will!" I said quickly kissing his cheek, making him chuckle.
Then I gave him 5 bucks. He looked at me confused.
"Whats this for?" He asked.
I smirked, "Buy yourself some Starbucks, you deserve it! I think your my favorite taxi-body guard that I've met. See ya later Paul!"
I left towards the arena, when I heard Paul holler, "It was nice to meet you Ruby!"
I headed towards the arena, but I felt someone grab my wrist and turn me around. It was Niall. I'm trying not to fangirl right now. Niall smirked as my eyes widened.
"You never let me finish." Niall smirked.
I only bit my lip, "Continue, leprechaun."
He chuckled making me smile. His laugh is adorable!!!
"My favorite ice cream is Cookies and Cream with rainbow sprinkles." Niall said.
I questioned, "Is that all you wanted to tell me?"
Niall replied, "No. Look Ruby, I'm sorry about this and spilling coffee on your shirt and you being late for your audition. I hope this made up for some of it. By the way I owe you a coffee. I was thinking that the next time I stop by a coffee shop, maybe you'd like to come with me and join me. . .Maybe we could share a cup of coffee together and talk a little more. . .What I'm trying to say is if I can have your pho-"
I stopped him, "Niall, are you asking me for my phone number?"
Niall nodded, sheepishly looking at his feet. I pulled out my LG G3. I unlocked it drawing the pattern in. It was simple. It was a house, a plain old house. That was my password. I wasn't very creative at the moment of making my phone password, so I kept it. I handed him my phone that was now unlocked. His face had brightened up, when I handed him my phone. It had a bright blue case with pink and purple flowers. He then handed me his phone. I put in my number while he put in his. Then as a contact name I wrote in Ruby and added a coffee emoji beside it. I took a picture in the contact spot. After I finished Niall did the same. We switched our phones, the phone now in their owners' hands. I smiled at his contact name, Niall, the guy who spilled coffee all over your shirt. His picture was funny. He had done a funny face, raising his eyebrow and doing a funny expression.
"Thanks, when you want some company don't hesitate to call." I said.
I could tell Niall had something to tell me, he seemed like he wanted to say something but couldn't. I was really happy and appreciative that Niall had taken me to the arena. I was so thankful that I gave him a hug. Niall gratefully took it, his wrapping around me, quickly. We separated, I hoped it would give him some of his confidence back, but why is he losing his confidence while talking to me? I'm just a regular girl. As he tried making up the words as he went, I smiled and silenced him as he was trying to utter the right words out. I kissed his cheek.
"Thank you. I really appreciate it." I said as Niall's cheek flushed to a crimson red.
I cleaned his cheek off since he had lip gloss on it making his cheek a shiny red. As Niall left to leave, I stopped him.
"Niall, why did you help me?" I asked uneasy.
He stopped as gave me a warm smile, "Why wouldn't I?"
I smiled and gave him a hug, " Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me! Oh, and I owe a new shirt. I promise I'll get you a new one."
Niall replied, "Don't worry about it. Just worry about your audition. I'll see ya later Ruby. Now, I have to get the boys some Starbucks."
I laughed, "Don't worry, they'll be happy that you thought about them. See ya Niall, bye."
With that I ran into the arena. All I could think of was don't mess up and I hope I get this audition. . .
Yay! Chapter 3 complete. I really hope this wasn't a crappy chapter and I hoped you guys liked it. Please vote and comment and tell me what you think. I will update soon, promise. Ok until then Skye Worthington signing off. Bye. I hope you guys liked it!!! Love you guys!!!!
