She's Not Afraid

Chapter 13: Shopping

Maggie: What do you buy a boyband super star/ hottie? This is the question I asked, standing in front of a rack of sweaters. So far I didn't have a single idea. I knew calling him wasn't an option. He wouldn't tell me. So I picked up my phone and called someone else. Sam. "Hola mi amiga," Sam answered.

"You realize I know you took French right," I said.

"I know," Sam said, "So what's up?"

"I need to get Niall a Christmas present," I said.

"Two words, Mags. Justin. Beiber," Sam said. I rolled my eyes.

"Is he like..." I let my words trail off.

"Yes. I mean he's into girls but he's a huge Beliber. I go for that if I were you. You know him right?" Sam said.

"Yeah," I sighed. Sure my boyfriend was a Justin Beiber fan.

"Well there you go. Set up a date and time and don't tell Niall," Sam said, I could hear the smug smile in her voice.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I asked.

"Yep," Sam said, "He's obsessed. You know for dating him I'm surprised at how un-close you are." I hung up. I walked out of the store. I tapped my screen, dialing Justin's number.

"Hello?" Justin asked after the first ring.

"Hey," I said, "Can I ask a favor of you?"

"Magnificense. Long time no see. How are you?" Justin said.

"Good. How about that favor," I said, only to be interrupted again.

"You know I miss you Magnificense. Maybe once your done with your 1D guy we could...reestablish our previous engagment," Justin said. Now might be a good time to mention Justin and I had dated for a very short time. Now that he was Selena-less though he wanted me back. As if it stopped him before.

"Not gonna happen. I have a favor to ask of you Justin. Now you can listen or I could be on the phone with you till Selena takes you back," I said, my voice a little too harsh.

"Ooh. That's cold. Whatever you need Magnificense," Justin said.

"My '1D Guy' is a big fan of you," I began. I was yet again intruppted.

"I know," Justin said, loosing intrest.

"Well I want to set up a time to get you two together. Or are you too busy smozing teenage actresses?" I asked.

"You're the only one worth smoozing, Magnifecense," Justin said.

"I've heard that one before," I muttered.

"I'll make you a deal. If you go out on one date with me I'll do your boy toy a favor," Justin said.

"No deal. I'll pay you my entire calery from this movie before I'd do that," then I added, "Don't get any ideas."

"I'm getting all sorts of ideas that include you Magnificense," Justin said.

"Are you doing the favor or not?" I asked.

"I guess, but only if you come with him," Justin said.

"Thanks," I said, hanging up. Thank God that was over.

Niall: Okay so at first I was panicked for Maggie's gift. But soon I started thinking. I decided on the reason for us meeting: fire. Okay so maybe a plug in campfire to make s'mores on wasn't a fire, but it seemed like something she'd really get into. Then of course there had to be another gift. I mean I wasn't dumb. You don't buy a girl worth millions of dollars something like a plug in s'more maker. So I went shopping. Although I realized as I was staring at racks of jeans, tee shirts, and dresses, I had no idea what to get her. I decided to go for probably the dumbest celebrity couple moves: looking through magazines to find her intrests. As I was looking through pictures I thought of it, coffee. The real reason for us meeting other than the movie. Coffee. Starbucks Coffee. I closed the magazine and headed for the coffee shop.

At the coffee shop I grabbed a few things. First was a bag of iced coffee. You know those bags you can buy and put in water. She had had iced coffee that day. Next I bought her a ceremic coffee cup. You know those ones that look like the actual thing. Yeah that. I bought her a mustache mug jacket (or whatever those things are called) and all other sorts of things. The final thing I bought was very simple, different things to make mochas, vanilla coffee, and espressos. Then of course I got thirsty from the scent and bought a coffee for myself. I felt good about what I got her.
