Loved both Nat's outfit and her greeting to Keith! But the best part was the last few lines! Oh to be a fly on the wall to see Nat's face!

Natalie's jaw hit the floor. "Yer my mystery guy!?" He just stood there grinning. "Yup. Nice to officially meet ye. I'm Colm." Natalie stared at him. "Ye didn't say ye were..." "I didn't say I was what?" "Nothin'."
I hate typin' on a phone.

Dang! He is hot! "Shut up!" Oops. That was out loud. Natalie grinned shyly. "Sorry, I wasn't talkin' to you. My mind needs to shut up." Colm continued grinning like an idiot. "So were ye surprised?" She was going to answer, when Keith cut in, "Nat's the girl you've been texting? No wonder ye looked moony eyed every time yer phone went off." Colm gave Keith a shove. "I did not." The other lads shared knowing glances, but remained silent. Colm finally shrugged and turn back to Natalie. "Ignore them. They have no clue what they are talkin' about." Ignoring the 'Hey!' from Keith, he continued, "Ye knoe Keith, but this is George, Emmet (Ye gotta watch him), Neil, and Ryan." Natalie gave them all a grin. "Nice te meet ye." Then Sharon arrived, and they all fell silent, turning like soldiers receiving orders. It became deadly quiet, except for Lyla. "Hey Sharon! This is Natalie, my younger sister." Sharon smiled. "Hello. Why don't we take this into my office?"
Colm could not stop fidgeting. He had got Nat this interview, and wanted everything to work out. He had no idea that Lyla's dad was in the hospital, she was calm and composed. Of course she wasn't worried. But he couldn't keep the ideas from sprouting in his mind like weeds. His phone buzzed. It was Natalie. Gone out the back door, I tried. Oh no. Why had Sharon not hired her? He stood and was walking towards the office door when it opened. Sharon emerged with a...Goofy grin? What's going on? "Well Lyla, yer sister has quite the personality. She went out the back, didn't want to see anyone. So I will see everyone Tomorrow at nine." And then she left.
Are ye okay?
I will be. I need some time to get used to the idea.
Do ye need anything?
Well since ye asked, could ye bring some chocolate and a vanilla latte to this address? (1515 w Fife)[Not a real address]
Sure. I'll be right over.
Why didn't Sharon hire her? Why was she grinning?

Loved the meeting between Natalie and Colm and all the slacking the lads gave him. Okay what happened in that office! I hope this is just one of Sharon's windups to get even with Colm and the lads! Hope when Colm gets to that address with the comfort food all will be revealed.

Colm rang the doorbell with his elbow. Talking to Lyla, he had bought not only Chocolate and coffee, but he also bought ice cream, fish sticks, and vanilla pudding. What for he didn't really know. The door opened and Natalie stood before him. Face tearstreaked. "Are ye gonna be okay?" Colm asked quietly. "I'll be okay. I just... I really wanted that job. I needed the distraction. I won't starve, Keith and Lyla even offered their extra bedroom, but... I've got too much to think about." They headed for the kitchen as Colm said, "Ye feel like talkin' 'bout it?" She looked up, eyes blurry with tears. "Okay." Digging through the bags she exclaimed, "You talked to Lylee! This is my favorite!" She took the fish sticks and put them in the oven and started mixing the pudding. "Have a seat. So um... Where to begin. My...EX boyfriend Tony, the one I was singin' to when I called ye, broke up with me, on my birthday. We had been dating for three years. I honestly thought he was goin' to propose that night. Instead... He sent me a bloody text. Said he was done, found someone better." She was fighting the tears, and failing. "It was so hard... I had given up so many things for him, and then to be left... Just... No warning. And then a week ago, when I texted you, my Da ended up in the hospital. He got out yesterday, but... They don't expect him to live much longer." At that she broke down. Sobbing, she let her knees give way, and collapsed on the kitchen floor. Colm slipped off his chair and sat beside her. He held for a long while as she cried. Ten minutes later she had calmed enough to get the fish sticks out of the oven, and sat on a bar stool by the counter, dipping them in the pudding. Colm gave her a funny look, and she giggled softly. "What? It's good!"
You okay baby?
I will be. Thanx for sending the fish and pudding with Colm.
He's a sweet heart.
Yeah.
When they were done eating the food, Colm and Natalie sat on the couch together and watched Netflix. They didn't realize how long they sat there until Keith barged in the door. "NAT! We're here to save ye!" "Eeek!!!!! Keith!!! Save me from WHAT!??!!?" "Colm, or what ever it is that has caused you not to answer yer phone ALL afternoon." "Oh."

That Tony is a rotten jerk! Nat is so better off with Colm. So sad about her dad. Love how Keith panicked and figured he had to come and rescue Nat! Quick question, is Nat's dad also Lylee dad?

Natalie suddenly became aware that when Keith barged in the door unannounced, she had jumped into Colms lap, and he hadn't moved to object. She tried to be subtle as she slid off of his lap, but she could tell Keith was trying not to laugh. "Wait, ye said WE are here to rescue you?" "Sure. Lyla's in the kitchen I think. Now, we are goin' te take ye to dinner, and then we are goin' to talk. You NEED to talk to someone about what happen today with Sharon. Colm, ye can come as well."Are ye ready?Keith is draggin' me to dinner. He thinks he can make me talk.Be strong til tomorrow. No, Nat is adopted and kept in touch with her biological father. She calls him Da and her adopted father is Daddy. She spent some time in America so her accent switches back and forth between the two.

Love the fact that Keith's so called rescue made Nat land in Colm's Lap! This is going to be one interesting dinner! Thanks for answering my question.

Colm drove, and Natalie was glad. As nice as Keith was, she didn't trust his bug. There was total silence the whole way. Keith directed Colm to a little coffee shop that also served sandwiches and soup. They found a quiet table in the back, and the instant the waitress was gone, Keith started in on her. "So what HAPPENED?" Natalie just shrugged. "I don't want to talk about it." "Ye need to talk about it. And we all want to know if we need to go on strike." Keith was acting really weird. More so than normal. "I DON'T want to talk about it! Ye have no reason to...Go on strike? Really?" "Yeah, if Sharon won't hire ye, than we won't sing." "Keith, that's really sweet of you, but ye are not giving up yer music fer me. I will be fine." No matter what Keith tried, Natalie would not talk. Finally Lyla and Colm had to yell at him to leave her ALONE! Natalie, trying not to reveal how much it touched her that Keith would give up his job for her, was failing. She started crying, and Keith was instantly quiet. "I didn't mean te...I'm so sorry Nattie! You know I just want to help ye." He stared at his plate. "It's...*sniff*...okay, Keith. I just..." bzzz...bzzz
Don't give in!
Sharon sat unnoticed in the corner.
Don't tell him!
I won't, but he is offering to give up his job if ye don't hire me!
Remind me to give that boy a raise!
