All These Little Things
Chapter 3: Thanks
I woke up at 6 a.m. to three different messages. One from my mom, one from my best friend, and one from Niall. This wasn't a dream! I pinched myself all over the place just to be sure and replied to his text that said:
What time you want me to come and get you? :)
I replied:
Seven works best and please don't let this be a prank!
BZZZZZZ BZZZZZZ
Never would I plan on it! ;)
I put the phone in my bra and walked towards the mirror. I looked in the mirror and smiled. It has been a long time since I have smiled in the mirror. And this time, I smiled for all of the good things. I smiled because I had beautiful long dark brown hair and had an uplifting smile. I smiled because I was the only one in the family with my beautiful complextion and the only one to have caramel colored eyes while everyone else had dark brown. For once, I smiled because I felt beautiful, because he made me feel beautiful.
I walked to the bathroom and started the water to the shower. I took all my clothes off and hoped in. I love to sing in the shower and the first song that popped up was Little Things, the song where Niall winked at me. I sung passionatley. I sung like my life depended on it and luckily I was the only child and my mom worked at 5 in the morning so I didn't have to worry about waking them up.
When I was done, I wrapped myself in a towel and walked back to my bedroom. I put my bra and my underwear on first and looked in my wardrobe to find out what I was going to wear with my "date" Niall. I found some black leggings and I cute pink shirt that only covered one of my shoulders and draped off the other. I decided to just brush my hair and let it be it's natural wavy self instead of straightening it. By the time I was finished with my clothes and make-up, it was 7. I walked down stairs to the living room and sat around waiting for Niall to text me. Nothing was going through. I text my mom telling her that I would be back by the time she got off work and that she shouldn't worry, I was in safe hands. Living alone sure was hard on her. The divorce took her by surprise and ever since then, she doesn't want me to leave until she thought I was fully ready to leave. She didn't want to be alone. When they, my parents, divorced was the time I started to get depressed. I gained so much weight and blamed the whole thing on me. I still have troubles with it but I'm glad that my mom and dad are apart because if they were together, they would be miserable.
I was shocked when I heard the door bell ring. Getting deep into thought like that and then hearing a loud noise could literally give me a heart attack! I walked to the door to find Niall standing there with his hands in his dark blue jeans. He looked nervous. Shouldn't I be the one that was nervous?
"Hi!" He said pulling his hands out of his pockets. He looked at me and I blushed not knowing what he was going to say next.
"Still looking beautiful love." He said that part so sweetly and I thought I was going to melt like ice-cream right then and there! Blushing ten times harder, he grabbed my hand and asked, "You ready darlin?"
Shocked that he grabbed my hand, I shyly responded.
"I hope so."
He smiled and walked me to his car. He opened the door for me.
"Thanks!" I say, surprised by the fact he opened the door for me. What a gentleman!
"Anything for you darling!"
He closed the door and walked to the driver's side. He opened the door, got in, and closed it. Before starting the car, he looked at me. I tried so hard not to have a nervous melt-down. He wasn't making it very easy. I looked out the window and tried to avoid the cutie's eye contact.
"Look at me please?" He asked. I slowly turned my head and made eye contact with him. I got lost in his eyes and told my self not to fall for him because he wouldn't fall back. I told myself this so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
He smiled and brushed his fingers lightly on my pink cheeks.
"You're beautiful. Why can't you see that?" He said and continue to brush my cheeks lightly. I started to blush. Thanks Niall for making me look like a tomato!
Surprised at my self, I responded quick and almost harsh.
"Because all my life I've been the unattractive girl that nobody wanted to be with, that nobody wanted to kiss, that nobody wanted to be seen with. When you look like that," I looked at him in an up and down motion, "every one wants to be with you, next to you, around you and when you look like me," I motioned up and down at myself "no one wants to be near you." I finished with tears in my eyes. They started to fall down my cheeks and Niall wipped them away.
He looked upset too.
"I'm not everybody and I'm sorry everyone has treated you so badly. But I want you to see what I see in you. You're beautiful inside and out, and I'm going to prove it to you."
He wipped the last tear away from my cheek and kissed it lightly.
"Don't let them bring you down love. Never let them bring you down." He said and started the car. As we were pulling away, he grabbed my hand and squeezed it. "Never." He said while still holding my hand. "Never." he repeated in a whisper.
What time you want me to come and get you? :)

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoyed the story and I hope it made you feel some what better about yourself. that's all I wanted with the outcome of this story: to let girls know that appearance has nothing to do with the beauty you hold inside. :)
