So Much For You
Bowling and Flirting
The next morning, I wake up and slowly push the sheets off my body before I crawl out of bed and begin to look for something to wear today. That’s when it hit me; today Char and I were going bowling with One Direction! It was going to be awesome, I could tell. I begin to go through my closet as I begin to find something to wear.
After about a half hour, I finally decide on a black shirt with jeans and my favorite pair of black matching Converse. I grab my clothes along with some clean underwear and a bra; I headed out to the hall way and right across to the bathroom that was across from my room.
After my shower, I put on the clothes I picked out and brushed my teeth before I finish getting ready. My hair was styled how I wanted and so was my makeup. After I was satisfied with my look, I finish up before walking out and going in to my room to grab my Converse. I grab some socks before slipping my feet into them and lacing them up.
After doing so, I grab my phone off the charger that was lying on the night stand and put it in my pocket. I grab my purse and put it on my shoulder as I walk back out the door and head down the stairs. The smell of homemade pancakes takes over my nose. Yum, I remember that Char and my mom have both said that Grandma makes the best pancakes. I know that because my mom has made them for my sister and I plenty times before. They were incredible.
As I walk in to the kitchen, I look over to see my grandma standing near the stove making them while my grandpa sat at the table engrossed in the morning news paper.
“Something smells good in here!” I say, smiling a bit. Two pairs of eyes shift up to meet my gaze.
“Morning dear, you’re up early,” Grandma looks over, a small smile on her face as she looks at me.
“Morning! I couldn’t sleep. Is Charlotte up?” I ask, looking at her.
“She’s in the living room watching the telly. Are you hungry, Isabelle?” she asks. I nod and take a seat at the bar.
“Thanks,” I say as she places a plate with pancakes and bacon off to the side. I grab hold of the fork and knife and begin to eat after smothering the pancakes in butter and syrup. I finish eating about ten minutes later and can’t eat any more because I was stuffed already. After I finish eating what I could, I hand her the plate and tell her I can’t eat any more since I’m already stuffed.
“What are you and Charlotte going to do today, sweetie?” she asks, looking at me, smiling.
“We’re actually going to go bowling with some new friends we met a few days ago,” I tell her, smiling at the thought of Niall. I couldn’t wait to see him later. Today was going to be one fun day.
“Sounds grand, dear,” she smiles and comes over, pulling me in to a hug. I smile and hug her back.
“Have fun and be safe,” she tells me after we part from the hug.
“I will,” I tell her before I disappear in to the living room to find my sister seated on the couch, staring at the television.
“Hey!” I say a bit loudly as I walk over and take a seat beside her.
“Oh, hey!” she looks over, smiling.
“So, uh, when are we leaving?” she asks, looking at me.
“Dunno, I’ll text Niall and ask,” I say as I pull my phone out of my pocket before unlocking it. I tap on ‘messages’ before tapping on Niall’s name where our messages were. I began to type: Hey! Was just wondering, what time are we meeting? Sorry if I woke you up. See you soon!
A short while after, I get a reply back. No, you’re fine. I’ve been up a while actually. 12 sound good? Can’t wait to see you! xx
I smile as I read his reply before I begin to type a response back to him. I was really starting to fall for him, hard. Thing is, I’ve barely known him a few days and it feels like we’ve known each other hell of a lot longer. Sounds good! I can’t wait to see you either! (:
“We’re meeting them at noon,” I say as I look over at her.
“Ok, you know it’s almost a quarter ‘til, right?” she says, looking at me from the clock on the wall that was on the mantle.
“We should get going,” she says and reaches over to grab her bag that was sitting beside her.
“You ready?” she looks at me. I nod in response and pull out my phone and text Niall that we’re heading out now.
“See you later grandma, grandpa!” Char and I yell in the direction of the kitchen.
“See you girls soon! Hope you have fun,” our grandma comes over and smiles at us as she stands there in the doorway, waving to us as we walk out the door.
“We will,” we tell her before we step outside and are on our way.
Meanwhile, Niall’s POV
I didn’t know what was taking Zayn so long. He said he would be out in five minutes. It’s been almost close to ten minutes. I don’t know why he always takes so long to do his hair. He’s probably just staring at himself in the mirror like he always does.
“Zayn, hurry up! Let’s get goin’, I want to see Isabelle!” I yell in annoyance.
“I’m coming, mate!” he yells back as the door to the bathroom opens as he comes in to the living room where the four of us were waiting for him.
“Someone’s very smitten. Awe, Niall’s in love!!!” Harry says, and reaches over, pinching my cheeks.
“Stop it, Harry!” I push him off me as I feel my cheeks heat up.
“No I’m not!” I mutter and glare at him.
“Bet you are since you talk about her 24/7,” Harry snickers, high-fiving Louis.
“Do not! Okay, fine, maybe I do. I just really like her,” I say as I stare down at my phone and smile as a new text message comes up. It was from Isabelle, she was on her way with her sister. I respond back and tell her how to get to the bowling alley. She replies back with a smiley face.
“See? I knew it…you do like her! Then, ask her out mate, if you like her so much,” Harry said, patting me on the shoulder.
“Maybe,” I blush at his comment.
“Let’s just get goin’, yeah?” I say loudly.
“Okay!” Harry says as the boys and I head out to Louis’ car and are finally on our way to meet up with them.
We make it there about five minutes later. I was happy that I would see her again. I was really starting to like her and that was something coming from me who used to always simply look at food that way. I guess it’s just that she seems different, and I really wanted to get to know her more. I wanted to fall in love, and am very determined to make her mine.
After Louis parks the car, we all get out and walk up to the front. A wide smile comes across my face as soon as I saw that familiar dark head of hair standing there at the counter. I was the first one inside because I was so anxious to see her.
“Isabelle!” I said loudly, as she turns and smiles as she sees me.
“Hey, Niall!” she smiles as I walk over and stand next to her.
“How are you?” she asks as she grabs her rental shoes from the guy behind the counter.
“I’m great, how about yourself, love?” I smile at her as she looks back at me.
“Good, thanks!” she says as I pay the guy before he gives me my rental shoes.
“Who’s ready to be dominated by me and Louis?!” Harry says as the four other boys come bounding inside.
The girls laugh at him. I manage to crack a smile. Once we all pay for our shoes, we get set up in our lanes.
Isabelle and I were on a team with Liam while Charlotte, Louis, Zayn and Harry were together.
We have a great time for the couple next hours or so, playing against each other and goofing off. Thankfully since the lads and I called in ahead of time, we ended up getting it to ourselves and the lasses.
“Oh…Isabelle! Niall’s got a huge crush on you!” Harry blurts out. I hit him in the arm. I look over at her, my cheeks heated yet again since Harry had to blurt that out in front of her.
“Y-you do?” she turns to me, smiling.
“Yeah, I do. I know it’s so soon and I’ve only known you only two days, but, would you like to go out with me some time?” I ask, shifting my eyes to stare in to her beautiful blue orbs that were similar to mine. I could stare in to them for hours, I could get lost in them. She was so beautiful.
“Y-yes, I’d like to. I really like you too, Niall,” she smiles at me. I smile widely as I look at her.
“Really?” I ask looking at her. She nods.
“Lads, I’m going to walk her back, I’ll meet you back at the flat, I'll catch a cab back” I tell them.
Harry makes a cat call as we head out the doors. I just roll my eyes and smile. I take her hand and lead her outside.
"Sorry about Harry...he's a total lady killer," I tell her and chuckle.
"It's fine, from the looks of it, I can tell Louis is in to my sister, a lot," I smile as we continue to walk.
"I noticed that too, he was totally staring her down, he's got it bad, I think just as bad as I have it for you," he smiles and kisses my cheek.
Before we know it, we get back to her grandparents house. "So, I'll see you tomorrow?" I smile as I stare at her. She nods in response and smiles as she looks at me.
"See you tomorrow," she says, smiling widely.
Later that night, we text for the next four or five hours until we fall asleep. I fall in to a deep sleep, images of Isabelle and how much I fancy her on my mind. I couldn't wait to see her again.
After about a half hour, I finally decide on a black shirt with jeans and my favorite pair of black matching Converse. I grab my clothes along with some clean underwear and a bra; I headed out to the hall way and right across to the bathroom that was across from my room.
