After a midnight stroll and little chit chats, Niall and I finally made it to the entrance of the building of his apartment. He greets people here and there and I just follow along.

"So, if you were robbed why didn't you head to the police station right away?" He says as we entered an elevator and Niall pressed the button of the floor to the way to where his apartment is located. I didn't know how to answer, even if I lost almost everything I know I have to accomplish my mission and if I were to go to the police station then I'll just give them a hint of who I am and what I look like, considering the fact that Niall also knows my real name now so this is gonna be really difficult to make the tables turn around once again.

"I... Ugh... Don't know where it is" I blurted those words but I was unsure if I said the correct reply.

"I'll accompany you tomorrow"

"No!"

"Huh?" He shot me a confused look but I was unsure of the words that I might say again, I'm making a lot of risk, of course that would be Niall's initial reaction, getting confused as to why I don't want to go to the station but what should I say?

"Well you might be busy tomorrow so don't worry about me" I said, hoping that Niall would buy it but he just replied with a lot of things, saying how much he's worried and how big is the amount of everything that was robbed, trying to make me conscious about it but I know about all of those but I should not let anyone know about me and I shouldn't share more things about me to Niall because that would make it easier for the cops to know my identity if my mission is complete.

About the mission, I don't know what I'm gonna do about it but I remember having a piece of paper with Mr. Minami and Sheryl's number in it that's tucked in my pocket, My hands searched for a piece of paper on my pocket but I couldn't feel anything inside. This is hopeless, it's impossible to make contacts to them anymore.

The elevator dinged and Niall and I made our way out of it and he guided me the way to where his apartment was. We soon stopped in front of a dark green door and he put Irish down and told me to keep an eye on him but all he did is scratch is ear which I find really amusing while his daddy search for the keys and open the door. Irish got disturbed from his scratching and entered the room first before me and Niall could actually lay a foot on the floor. I stepped on a rug that says "welcome" and took my shoes off, Niall did the same and replaced a slipper to wear on his foot, he offered me a slipper too but it was big for my feet but I just wore it anyways.

"Are you hungry? I have some instant noodles here, just pour hot water on it then wait for several minutes for the noodles to become soft"

"I know how instant noodles work, don't make me look like I'm a 5 year old" I chuckled as I say that sentence.

"Well how old are you anyway?"

"I'm already 20!" I exclaimed and put my hands on the air, not trying to make it look like I'm really exclaiming angrily and instead trying to make it humorous and Niall finding the humorous side of it.

"Whatever you say, anyways I'm taking a quick shower and you can go ahead right after me" he grabbed a towel that was hanging from his door knob and entered the bathroom to take a shower. It was only Irish and I that's in the room and the little dog is now sleeping peacefully in his bed with a cute stuff toy beside him. I don't know what's the cutest thing, Irish sleeping with the cute stuff toy or the fact that Niall treats Irish as if he's his baby and even gave him a stuff toy to sleep with but regardless of those two, I think the both of it are so cute.

The apartment is small but tidy, it's great to know that not all guys are messy just like how I think they are. Everything is properly arranged and neat even for a small apartment like this. I guess Niall likes his house to be pure like snow, everything's white except for the walls that is a bit of grey which contrasts the colour of his furnitures. It has 2 doors on the side, one is the bathroom and I'm guessing the other one is a bed room. I stopped gazing my eyes around the flat and stood to grab an instant noodles as I open a cabinet and find two cups of noodles left, I took what's left, one for me and one for Niall and prepared it by doing the instructions. I closed the lid and waited for the noodles to soften and sat at one of the dining seats again.

I thought about reality and how I still have issues, I shouldn't feel comfortable just because some random stranger took me in his house to stay for the night. I need to think about what my purpose of going to Ireland is, I'm not here for a vacation and definitely not for a tour, I'm here to do my job and what I was tasked to do so no matter how hard it is to bring everything back, I need to do my best to, even if it seems impossible. I need connections with Yu and Sheryl, I need to know the name of the guy I'm supposed to kill and I definitely need somewhere to stay in, I can't just stay here in Niall's house throughout my mission, it's shameful and really a risk, cops would easily trace me if ever the mission was accomplished and that's not how things should supposed to go.

I sighed deeply and put my hands on my face, thinking of what am I supposed to do now, I've lost everything in a place where I'm not even familiar with. I felt something furry touch my legs and I screamed just to find Irish rubbing his head against my legs.

"Hey there, little bud" I pat his head and began to caress his face, he looks so cute and so blonde, his fur isn't gold enough for a retriever like him. He barked softly indicating for me to go and caress him more while his eyes slowly closes and his little body swaying from side to side.

"I guess he likes you" someone indicated and I saw Niall wearing nothing but a towel latched on his waist. Irish is wide awake by the time he heard his daddy's voice and he approached him while Niall watches him with a smile on his face and bent down to pat his baby.

"Go and dress up, I made you noodles" I addressed to Niall and soon enough, he stood and opened the door to the other room while Irish follows.

"You just don't want to end up drooling over me" he mumbled but loud enough for me to hear and then he stepped inside the room and shut it.

"What did you say? Excuse you mister-"

"Horan!"

"Horan, but I do not go drooling over boys, your specie is so lame, females are the best" the words were spoken and the truth got revealed, I opened the lid of the cups and get a spoon for the both of us, the smell was delicious and I realised that I've been hungry after eating a burger 2 hours earlier and as I sit down on a chair I've been thinking about something... Niall Horan, it sounds cute but I've heard the name "Horan" back then but I can't remember when.

The door opened and Irish sprints and circled Niall and because of my deep observations, I didn't knew Irish had a broken leg.

"Most males are lame, but I'm not one of those males, I'm different" I looked him up and down, taking in all his features and memorising them because I always have the tendency of forgetting someone's face. Niall looks cute but handsome in a way, it's rare for me to check out a guy but Niall draws me in and tempts me too, he has a different aura and just like what he said, he's not what most males are, he's different. "Would you stop that, you're creepy as hell!"

"Huh?" I asked out of confusion, distracting me from looking at Niall.

"You look like that you're about to eat me with your eyes, go eat your noodles instead"

"But, I'm not creepy" I mouthed and pouted right after as Niall takes a seat right next to me. Irish lie on his stomach beside Niall's chair and licked his nose and I looked up to Niall finding him staring at me, it was indeed creepy... Staring at people is creepy.

"You don't look creepy but you act creepy" he said and flashed me a smile, it caused me to feel something so indescribable, something so eerie, something so... I don't know, I felt something in my stomach, it was different from a hungry stomach but I guess this feeling is just a side effect of being hungry. "Let's eat" Niall grabbed the cups and placed it in front of me as he opens the lid of his cup and grabbed a spoon to eat the midnight meal.

While eating, we made little talks but it wasn't about anything that's happening in reality for awhile, we were just getting to know each other and made some laughs while telling funny anecdotes throughout our lives, time passed by really quick, we finished our cups in a jiffy and Niall disposed them away.

"Here's a towel and do you mind using my clothes? I don't have girl clothes" Niall stated as I got up on the chair and took the towel from his hand.

"No, not at all, I'm gonna take a quick shower" I passed by him and he replied that he will prepare some clothes for me to use. I took off my clothes and opened the faucet right after and let the water rinse my body as I feel every droplet touch my skin. It was only a quick one and so I have to rush the process and alas, I came out 15 minutes later, shall we call it quick or a long one?

The towel latched on just above my chest and I knocked on Niall's room while the water drips off my body, I was scared if Niall's gonna scold me for it, they say the kindest people tend to be the scariest if they got angry. I heard him say come in and I twisted the door knob and pulled the door to find Niall placing a shirt and a boxer orderly in a king sized bed where he probably sleeps. I held on the towel tightly in case if it falls off and Niall looked at me, straight in the eye without exploring my figure.

"Sorry, this is all I have, this is the smallest shirt I have and this boxer is super clean! I promise, they're actually new so don't worry about getting an infection" Niall assured me and I just smiled at him for his concern and care for me, in just a span of 4 hours, he definitely showed his concern for me and I really appreciate it. "I'll just go out so you can dress and here's another towel, you're dripping wet!" He grabbed a towel from one of his cabinet's door knob and handed it to me and made his way out of the room. I put on the shirt and the boxers, the shirt was a bit big but it was fine and it was weird wearing a boxer, there's a lot of space left unoccupied and I had to pull the garter all the way up. I finished dressing up and I dried my hair with the towel and then I opened the door so I can call in Niall and it turns out he was just standing in front of the door the whole time.

"Done?"

"Yeah, I'm in need of a comb... Do you have one?" I asked and he went inside the room and picked something from his nightstand and gave it to me, knowing that it was a comb and so I did my thing with my hair as Niall picks my clothes that was on the floor and I can't help but feel a jab of guilt for the guy who was cleaner and more organised than me.

Niall comes back in the room saying that he put my clothes in the laundry so I can wash it tomorrow then stood in front of the humongous bed and placed an elongated pillow at the middle of it.

"Niall, I really appreciate your hospitality and thank you for helping me out for awhile, I'd do my best to repay you someday" I expressed my gratitude as Niall smoothens the sheet of the bed while I just stand in the corner.

"Don't worry about it, you can stay here until you find a place to stay" he said, still doing his business and I looked down in disbelief, what if I'll never have a place to stay in the future? I just can't stay with Niall until the end, he has a life and he doesn't need a random lady to take care of and feed and offer everything to.

"Thank you again for everything, I should probably go and sleep and-" I changed the topic and thanked him again but I got cut out of my own words for I didn't knew where I'm gonna sleep. "Where am I gonna sleep by the way?"

"Oh, about that, do you mind if we share the bed, I mean... No one likes to sleep on the couch and we'll definitely gonna start a fight about it, I don't want to sleep in the couch either so it's a disgrace if my gentlemanliness vanished so yeah... Sharing?" I looked down on the bed and realised that Niall made a division with the pillow, with the equal amount of space on each side so we can share. It was a big bed and it also looks comfortable but sharing the same bed as the opposite sex may just lead for me to stay up all night because I'll be uncomfortable, I never shared the same bed with a guy before, I never even held a proper conversation with a guy before. "Uh... I guess you don't like to, you can stay on the bed, I'll go sleep on the couch"

"No, no, I'm completely fine with it... Well as long as..." I looked down on the ground and I felt my cheeks burning, I hope I won't get to say it aloud because it was embarrassing to.

"Oh no, don't worry, I'm completely decent" he smiled and proceeded to mess the sheets he was so oblivious on smoothening earlier, he asked to turn off the lights and for him to join on the bed. I did what I was said and wrapped myself with the fluffy blanket that Niall has, we weren't only sharing the same bed but we were also sharing the same blanket, with this much distance between us, it'll force us to move closer so we can get an inch of the blanket on our bodies.

"Ugh! Look at the time, it's quarter to 1 o' clock, got to sleep now because I'll have duty tomorrow, goodnight Victoria" he said and turned his back against me.

"Goodnight, thanks for letting me stay again, it's really nice of you"

"Like I said, don't worry about it" I chuckled and hugged a pillow that was beside me, I always hug pillows whenever I sleep, it makes me at ease and feel protected.

"Yeah but you didn't had to take me in, why did you even did this? Are you planning something bad to me?" I queried and Niall was the one to chuckle now.

"Like I said, I'm completely decent and would you really expect me to leave a beautiful girl sleeping alone in the cold night? Besides, I've been taking in homeless people whenever I see one and let them stay so it's natural for me to take in someone who's sleeping anywhere" I was shocked at what he said, stating that statement made me realise how much of a kind hearted lad Niall is. "I guess you could say that I'm soft-hearted and I trust people easily but that's who I really am, I think we were born to share and help others out and feel the happiness overwhelm you right after" After what he said, Niall just proved that not all the living humans these days are heartless and selfish, there are still other people living out there to serve and help out others just like Niall. He was so kind that I don't even know if I died right after I got robbed because I just met an angel. An angel on the outside and an angel on the inside, it was even in and out. Therefore I can conclude that Niall is a living angel. "You should go to sleep now, Victoria, it's been a rough day for you, I'll help you out tomorrow"

"Oh, don't worry about me, night anyways" I turned my back against his back and silently prayed for this wonderful person to get blessed more than he deserves and closed my eyes to enter the world where I can only escape from reality.
