Chapter 20

"Let me tell you something about love. It doesn't knock often. And when it does, you have to let it in."

Kelsey POV

He glared at me and kept quiet for a few seconds. "Hi, I'm Tom." He held out his and for me to shake it and I did so.

"You're from the North, right?!" Tom gave me a weak smile and nodded.

"Yep, that's right. You haven't told me your name yest." Something about him was interesting and it wasn't his good looks. No it was the way his eyes lit up every single time he opened his mouth to say something.

"I'm Kelsey. Nice to meet you." I finally shook his hand and scanned his toned body. Good God, he sure was perfect. Maybe too perfect for my liking.

"Tom?" There was another boy coming closer and we turned around to check who it was. "Kelsey? I have to go. See you tonight?" Tom asked.

"Yeah, maybe. You better go. Your friend doesn't look very amused. " He turned around once before he held up his hand, telling his friend to give him one more second. "Yeah looks like it. Was nice to meet you. See you later." He winked at me and walked off.

That was awkward, I thought and grabbed my book to read a bit more. There was still no sight of my mum but she would be back anytime soon, that's what I knew. I caught myself thinking about Tom. I hoped I would see him again later but without his friends. I didn't like that other guy who was calling Tom to hurry up. He could have at least come over and say hi to me. Anyway, I didn't want to think about boys anymore. All they do is messing up and destroying girls' lives. 

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew was waking up to the voice of my mum. She was back, obviously. 

"Kelsey?" Ugh. Yes sometimes she could be annoying. "What's wrong?" I asked her not opening my eyes.

"Who is Niall?!" 

What the hell was she talking about? Niall? Niall was with his friends. There was no way he would be here.

"Kelsey?" She asked again this time a little bit louder. Okay I must have dreamt. Shit.

I opened my eyes and stared at her. "Who is Niall? And often have I told you not to sleep in the afternoon. You won't be able to sleep tonight."

"How do you know his name? And it wasn't my intention to fall asleep. I'm tired. Long day." I rubbed my eyes. I knew that she was right but I couldn't help myself. My eyelids were getting heavier and a nap was the best option I had. 

"You were talking about him. In your sleep. So now tell me. Who is it?" Did I really say his name? I couldn't remember anything.
