Riley pov
After dancing to Drag Me Down, I decide to go home, since there is no reason for me to be here. And I'm not in the mood to get on a bus, so I have to walk. I keep on walking, just thinking about how fast this all happened. I stop at the doorstep of my house. I unlock the door with the spare key I have, and go in.
"I'm home!" I say.
"Hey, Ri." Emily says. "Go get dressed."
"For what?" I ask, confused.
"We're going on a double date." She says in a duh tone.
"Umm, with who?" I ask again. She looks at me like I'm stupid.
"Me with Eldon. You with Jeff, one of his brothers." She says plainly. "He's a year older than you are, and is cute."
"Em, I don't wanna go." I whine.
"Yes you do. You aren't gonna win this." She says. "You need to move on, James clearly has."
"You're right." I admit. "Where are we going?"
"That fancy restaurant downtown." She says.
"Oh, okay. Give me a sec to get ready." I say, before running up the stairs into my room. I put on a short blue dress, but not too short. (A/N the one she wore to the internationals party.) I straighten my hair, and put on some make up. I throw on some higheels, grab my purse and phone and go downstairs.
"Okay, let's go." I pant.
"Ooh, is Riley getting dressed up?" Emily teases causing me to roll my eyes. "Eldon will be here any minute."
Sure enough, he appeared at our doorstep a minute later. He ushered us to his car. The passenger seat was empty, for Emily. And seated in the back was Jeff. Eldon opened the door for Emily, then for me. I got in and sat next to Jeff. He was in a nice suit, that wasn't too fancy. He has dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. (A/N He's Niall Horan, okay?) Emily was right he was cute.
"Hey," He said with a smile. "I'm Jeff."
"Hi, I'm Riley." I said giving him a smile.
"Wow, Eldon was right. You are hot." He said, making me laugh. Emily slapped Eldon on the arm.
"Hot for him. I'm already taken!" Said Eldon in defense, making both me and Emily giggle.
"Well, thank you. You aren't too hard on the eyes either." I laughed.
"Thanks, Riles." He said. "Do you mind if I call you that?"
Riles. I like the sound of that. Nobody ever calls me Riles.
"Yeah, I like that name. It's cute." I say.
"So are you." He laughs. Making me giggle again. The rest of the car ride was quiet. But not in an awkward way, it was more like a comfortable silence. Jeff was actually really nice. Thanks Emily!
Eldon soon pulled up at the driveway. He opened the door for Emily. Jeff got out and opened the door for me. He was a gentleman too! We got in.
"Table for four, please." Eldon said to the lady, who lead us to a table. I say next to Emily, facing Jeff. Eldon sat next to Jeff, facing Emily.
"Can I help you?" The waiter asked.
"Um, yes please. Firstly, we want four salads please. I want a medium rare steak, for my brother a beef burger?" Eldon asks, Jeff nods. "And for the ladies.."
"I'll have pasta please." Emily say.
"I think I'll have a burger too." I say.
"Okay," said the waiter, scribbling our order down on his notebook. "Drinks?"
"Coke?" Eldon asks us. All three of us nod. The waiter writes that down before disappearing into the kitchen.
"So, how are you?" Jeff asks me. I giggle at how nervous he is, its really cute.
"I'm fine, thanks, and you?" I laugh.
"I'm good. Really happy that Eldon told me to come." He laughs. I laugh too.
"Haha. Thank you. So do you dance? I've never seen you at the studio." I say.
"Well, I used to dance at The Next Step with Eldon until J Troupe when I got more into music. Now, I can still do most of the flips, but I'm a bit rusty. I play guitar and sing." He smiles.
"That's so cool! I've always wanted to learn guitar. No point in singing though, my voice is terrible." I say, making him laugh.
"Well, maybe I can teach you sometime." He smiles.
"You mean like.. a date?" I ask, amused.
"Call it anything you want, as long as I get to see your beautiful face again someday." He says, I can feel my cheeks become hot.
"Maybe I can teach you to dance again." I say. He smiles and nods.
"I'd like that."
James pov
Right now, I'm in Beth's living room. We are cuddled up, watching a movie. I took her to the doctor earlier, for her check up, and right now, we just want to hang out.
"Did you really have to pick this movie, James?" She asks, looking up at me.
"I thought you'd like Cyborg Aliens." I chuckle, remembering that Riley had the same reaction.
"Well, I don't. I don't understand what's going on." She whines.
"Okay, baby, what do you wanna watch?" I say taking the remote.
"Uh, how about .. Titanic?" She says, excitedly. I sigh, we watched that one four times before. Everytime we would watch it, Beth would burst out crying. Yet, she still watned to see it.
"Alright, fine." I say making her smile. "I love your smile."
"And I love you." She laughs.
"I love you too, babe."
A/N Most of you hate me now, haha. I hope you liked this as much as I liked writing it. Except for the Jeth part. Ew! But I felt bad for Riley, so I got her a date. Anyways, I'll try and update soon. And who heard Perfect? I swear I'm way too addicted to that song.
