"This is really delicious" I complimented "Would you mind teaching me how to make this some time?"
"Come along any time you want and Ill teach you. It would be fun having a girl in the house" Mrs Horan said "So how was school?"
"Great" Niall replied "That idiot was still being a jerk to me but other than that it was fine"
" Who was troubling you Niall?" I asked
He looked down "No one. Its not really important"
"Yeah it is. Tell me please"
"Its not important. How was your day" He changed the subject
"awesome"
I devoured the rest of my food and talked a little during supper. The topic was light and when asked about my mother I said she was working till late. I helped clear the table and did a bit of the washing.
"Would you like some tea?" Niall asked. I checked the watch on my phone "It would be really quick" He promised.
"Umm yeah. Sure" I really diddnt want to be late to meet Harry. I dried my hands with the dishcloth and took a seat in the lounge while Niall made the tea.
"Zoe" Mrs Horan said once she walked into the lounge "I really don't mean to sound odd but ... its just... I really want to thank you for being a friend to my son"
"Oh. Please don't thank me. His really amazing and I think I should thank you for raising such a down to earth person" I hope I diddnt say anything wring because it was right then her eyes started watering.
"I'm - I'm sorry.. I diddnt mean to offend you" I said
"Oh darling don't be silly. I'm so happy. He hasn't had a friend in about 2 years" It was then her eyes watered more and she started crying "I'm just so glad he has you". I got up and wrapped my hands around her giving her a tight hug. She wiped her eyes and hugged me back. After a minute she pulled away.
"Oh look at me. I'm such a mess" Her eye make up had smudged a bit and her eyes were a bit red
"You still look beautiful" I said. She smiled and excused herself.
Just then Niall walked into the room with a tray. A few biscuits and my Chocolate cake were on there along with the tea. He handed me a cup and I thanked him taking a seat on the couch. There was an awkward silence for a bit
"What are you planning on doing tomorrow?" I asked
"No plans. Why?"
"Just asking"
"Oh. What are you planning?"
"Oh you know... the drug dealer has got some new shit. Might try somthing new. Pain killers don't taste the best you know" I said with a streight face. His expression was priceless. He looked like he had just seen a ghost. I looked him streight in the eye and dramaticly took a sip of the tea. To he honest it tasted absolutely horrible. I neveractully drink tea. I just have it not to be rude. He still stared at me. Nope... I couldn't hold it any longer. Laughter escapped my lips and I saw Nialls expression loosen up
"Chill dude. I was just messing with you" I sighed
"Ha ha. That was very mature" He said sarcasticly taking a fork full of chocolate cake into his mouth.
"I'm very mature Niall. That is one thing you should know about me" I said rolling my eyes "Second thing you should know is that I love food and Jelly Babies" He rolled his eyes this time at my comment "And thirdly and most importantly" I continued "I am the most sarcastic person in all of California" I smiled
"Eh ... Yes Ma'am" He said said in a soilder voice. I giggled and punched him softly on the shoulder. My phone beeped. 5message from Harry
*Zoe. Where are you? *
*Zoe I'm waiting outside*
*Are you still on? *
*Ditching me already*
*Please don't make me sad :( *
Instantly I typed back
*Just a sec babeeee*
*Would never diss a date with a hottie like yoooo ;)*
"So sorry Niall. I have to go. Harry is waiting for me" I shot up.
"Oh yeah sure" Niall led me to the door.
"Thanks for having me over. You're a really great friend" I said hurriedly giving him a quick side hug and a small kiss on the cheek before semi jogging outside. Sure enough Harry was there waiting for me Looking like a prince. God he was hot.
