Arranged Wedding?

Chapter 2

Madison's P.O.V.

        When I had arrived home I took my suitcase and guitar inside and set them on my bed and went into the living room and pulled out my laptop and saw that there was a new e-mail from my boss.

From: Jean Grey

        Hey Madison, there are some new things popping up around town and even all over the world that you are getting pretty close to One Direction's Niall Horan. So, I have a new assignment. I would like for you to get the details that nobody else would know about their daily life, what they do on tour, and their love life. The document is attached below and I would like this assignment done by the end of the month. If you can get more details and need some more time then go ahead but if you take more time I expect a better result. 

To: Jean Grey

        Jean, I can't do this, I've been friends with Niall for about 16 years now. I can't just risk our relationship for a job. If I release this article then Niall would never forgive me. I just can't, ask somebody else. Fire me if you want but I'm not doing this.

From: Jean Grey

        Fine, I'll ask Caroline to do this, you're lucky that I need you because if I didn't then you'd be fired.

        I closed my laptop and texted Niall about what happened. He was glad that I refused to do the article and that I also didn't get fired. He told me that he'd be in town tonight so if I wanted to meet the girls and hang out with the guys then I should meet him at his place around 7. I began to unpack and put all my clothes away from the trip to California and then I heard something at my door. I walked over to the door. It sounded like something was scratching. I opened the door and there was a cute puppy standing at my door way with a red ribbon tied around it's neck. I picked it up and noticed that there was a note. 

Hey, I know you've already made plans for tonight but can we skip? Meet me out front at 6 and dress in something a little nicer :)

I looked around to see if anybody was playing a cruel joke. I took the dog inside and picked up my phone and called Niall. But some girl picked up the phone.

"Hello"

"Yea, what's up"

"You sent a dog to my house"

"Um, yea... sorry, it was weird"

"No, he's so cute, I'll meet you outside at 6"

"Okay"

        I smiled to myself and then I went to go get ready for whatever Niall had planned. I threw on a dress that I had bought a few weeks ago and I picked out some heels and then the little puppy came into the bathroom. I realized that I haven't given him a name yet. I settled on the name Braxton and so I took his little red bow and note off and set ot on the counter. I re-applied some of my makeup that was a mess and took down my hair and began to curl it. I checked the time and it read 5:56 and so I unplugged my curler. I put it away and slipped on my heels, grabbed my phone and wallet and walked outside to meet Niall. He was wearing a suit and tie and I just laughed. 

"What..."

"Nothing, what are we doing tonight"

"We are going out to dinner"

"Fancy huh"

"Yep, follow me"

        I grabbed his hand and he walked me over to his car and we drove off towards the restaurant. Once we arrived at the restaurant Niall handed his key to the Valet and we walked inside. Niall told the waiter that he had a reservation for two. She escorted us to a small table in the back of the restaurant and we both sat down in the small booth. We ordered drinks and our food and then began to talk. 

"How's tour been"

"Good, I mean it's been stressful on me because after my knee surgery ya know it got better but it's getting worse now"

"Oh, wow, are they gonna have to go back and do surgery on it again"

"I'm went to the doctor they said I'd have to do surgery again and it sucks because that means more Physical Therapy for me"

"Yea but you can get through it"

"I hope so, I just hate being crowded and having a bad knee" 

"Yea, so do you wanna tell me more about this girl you like" 

"Well, um, I've been her friend for awhile now and she just has the perfect personality, she's actually really talented, she decided that she wants to be a journalist"

"That's great, but I wanna know her name, where she lives, stuff like that"

"Okay, well her name's is Madison"

        My smile fell as I realized who he was talking about. I looked at him and then aroumd the restaurant to make sure that nobody was being nosy and listening in to our conversations.

"Niall, I've known you since we were little. You never gave any hints that you liked me... how long"

"Eh, maybe about a year now"

"Why haven't you told me before then" 

"Because you were never around before now"

As we finished up our meals Niall paid for the food and at that moment we realized how many fans and reporters were out front. Niall looked towards me and then towards the kitchen and asked the waiter if we could speak with the manager. Not even a minute later the manager came to speak with us at our table.

"Is everything okay Sir"

"My girlfriend and I have a bit of a dilemma, my name is Niall Horan, and I am in a band called One Direction, I was wondering if we could go through your kitchen to avoid all of those fans and reporters"

"Absolutely, right this way"

I looked at Niall and he smiled, I knew he had played the girlfriend card just because he wanted to, there was no real meaning behind it. My smile sank as I realized that he only said it because he didn't want to be seen by reporters with me. Once we were outside he opened the car door and I got into the passengers side and he got into the drivers side and started up the car.

"Why aren't you smiling anymore" 

"It's nothing, thank you for dinner"

"Oh, it's fine, I should probably get you back to your apartment before the boys wonder where I am"

"That's fine by me, I'll probably watch a movie and change into some comfy clothes before getting called in to report on a fashion show or something"

"Yea, I like your job though, it seems fun, you get to travel"

"Yea, I've only been to Australia, Ireland, Germany, US, Canada, Italy, France"

"It's nice, maybe I should invite you on our next tour for maybe a month or so and you could like get all the inside details, it'd be fun for all of us and good for your job"

"Yea, I guess"

We pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex and I unlocked the door of my apartment and set my things on the table and walked into my room. I took off my clothes that I am wearing now and I changed into some yoga pants and a simple t-shirt and crawled in bed. I was extremely tired and was finally resting for the night...
