Fake date

"You want me to do what?" Milena exclaimed as her best friend Niall was on his knees begging in front of her. His blue eyes bore into her brown ones and she could feel the heat of her body making her blond hair start to puff up. It wasn't that she didn't want to go along with his plan. Milena would do anything for Niall, and he for her. It had been that way ever since they had gotten close two years ago, but his request today was unusual and not in the same territory as his regular beer chugging bets.

"Please! I need you to go on a rehearsal date with me." This time as he begged he grabbed her hands and shot her his trademark puppy dog eyes that he knew she couldn't resist. As a sigh escaped from her lips Niall couldn't help but smile. Milena admitting defeat was rare for her head strong personality and meant that she truly cared for him.

"I'll go, but why do you need a rehearsal date? You're attractive enough for a girl to like it if you took them on a date in a parking lot and had hotdogs." Milena wasn't kidding with that idea. Niall had once done that before she had met him. In fact it was that girl that had introduced the two.

"I know, but for the girl I want everything has to be perfect. You should meet her! How about after our 'date' I'll take you to meet her?"

Milena felt her heart sink a little. It always did that when he mentioned the girl he was desperate to win over. He never told her the girl's name though, maybe he had caught on that she liked him and didn't want to hear it.

"Sure, when do I have to get ready by?" Her voice soft and calm even though on the inside she wanted to scream that the only girl he should be looking at was her. Niall got up from his knees, towering over her a good three inches.

"I'll pick you up by seven. And don't worry, if you run late like you always do when you get ready I'll wait. "

He smiled and placed a kiss on her cheek, something the two did often. Milena couldn't help but smile and ruffled his soft blond hair.

"You defiantly owe me big time." Milena sighed once again before turning around and heading out of Niall's apartment. She had to get out of there fast or else Niall would notice the blush that fell upon her cheeks.

N&M N&M N&M N&M N&M N&M N&M N&M N&M N&M N&M N&M (A/N like my story break thingy?)

The doorbell rang and Milena heard the pittter patter of her dalmatian Rio as he scrambled to see who was at the door.

"It's unlocked!" Milena hollered before the door opened and she heard Niall's footsteps come in. Milena was nervous. This date was the one that would help Niall win his dream girl and after tonight Milena had decided to end her feeling for him. There would be no point if he was in a relationship.

She stared in the mirror as she touched up her makeup. What did that girl have that she didn't? Was it her blond hair? Maybe Niall was into red heads? Was it her brown eyes? Maybe he liked eyes as blue as his own? Milena sighed before heading downstairs. She smiled at the sight of Niall sitting back on her couch petting Rio as he watched TV. It looked right, like he was meant to be here in her home, the only distracting thing was his suit that made him even more dashing then before.

"You ready?" Niall said not bothering to look up from the TV.

"Yeah, let's go."

The drive over was quiet. The sound was the radio buzzing softly in the background. As they got closer and closer to the restaurant Milena could feel Niall's gaze on her. Turning her head slightly to the side she gave him a small smile before she felt his gaze back on the road.

"We're here." Being the gentleman that he was he held the door open and pulled her chair out for her when the two came to their table. The night was filled with wonderful jokes and Niall's laugh that Milena swore could make even the saddest person on earth crack a smile. After all she was about to lose her love and yet he still managed to make her laugh along with him.

As the night came to a close, Niall received a text. His eyes lit up and Milena could tell it was from her. Now would be the time she would have to face her rival and know that she had lost and Niall's heart was going to be someone else's.

"Let's go into the other room. I can't wait for you to meet her." Niall quickly got up and Milena followed suit. He took Milena's hand and led her into a candle lit room. The only thing there was a mirror.

"Is she coming?" Milena managed to choke out and Niall nodded his head.

"She's already here actually." He led her to the mirror and placed her in front of it.

"Is she hiding behind the mirror? She doesn't need to be shy I won't bite." Milena said before looking up at Niall. His eyes were soft and his lips held a smile that was as warm as the sun. "Niall, is something wrong? You look dazed."

"Nothing's wrong. And my girl isn't hiding behind the mirror; she's in front of it." Milena smiled and Niall pressed a soft kiss against her lips.

"What took you so long huh?" Milena said causing a chuckle to escape from his lips before he kissed her again.

" I was nervous, you've rejected so many guys before. I knew you were waiting for the right guy and I wasn't sure if I was him." This time Milena laughed and Niall smiled. He loved it when she laughed.

"Well you are and nothing will change that." The two kissed once more before heading back to Milena's home to cuddle and watch a movie. Going on the rehearsal date was the best thing that Milena ever agreed to. And at least this time she wasn't hung over from chugging beer.
