The Arranged Marriage (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5

Niall's POV (AN: The first Niall POV!)

I just arrived at Melissa's house and for some weird reason I'm nervous. Maybe it's because I'm scared of her brother? Yeah, that's it.

I walk up to the door and knock. A few seconds later her brother, James, opens the door.

"What do you want?" He asks, sounding very angry.

"Umm...I-I...uh, came to get M-Melissa?" I stutter, unsure if it was the right thing to say. Probably not. He hates me!

"Oh, yeah. You're taking her back to London with you. If you do anything to hurt her you'll die, got it?" He warns me. I nod. "I guess I have to let you in, don't I?"

"I can wait here if you want me to." I say, trying not to get in even more trouble.

"No matter how much I want to do that, I can't. It's not polite and mom will kill me if I don't." He sighs, then moves over to let me in.

I walk in and is greeted by Melissa's mom. "Niall, sweetie, so good to see you!"

"You too." I say, trying to sound happy and like I want to be there.

"I'll have James go get Melissa for you." She tells me. "James go get your sister. We don't want to make Niall wait any longer, do we?" She tells James.

James scowls at me then says,"Yes mom. We wouldn't want the pop-star throwing a fit, would we?" Note; Don't piss off James, ever.

James goes upstairs to get Melissa and I go and sit down in the living room. I just sat there and thought. What are the boys going to say when they find out? I didn't even tell them I'm bringing someone with me, none-the-less a girl that I'm arranged to marry! They'll hate me forever, I know it.

My thoughts got interrupted by James and Melissa entering the room. "Hey Niall." Melissa greets me.

"Hi Melissa. Are you ready to go?" I ask.

"Just about. I need to grab my backpack and then I'll be ready." She answers. James gives me a scary look.

"It's fine, take your time!" I assure her, also trying to get on James good side.

"Uh, thanks?" She says, unsure, then walks to go grab her other bag. I think she knows I didn't say that for her sake.

"Time for the interrogation to start." James says with an evil look on his face. I gulp. Help!

"Interrogation?" I asked, even though I understood what he meant.

"Is your flat suitable for my sister to live in?" He asks.

"Yeah, and if it's not completely up to her standards I'll be sure to make it that way." I answer. Why is he interrogating me? He's acting like she'll be with me for her entire life, like she's actually gonna marry me!

"Good. Will you and your friends treat her with respect? And will that Harry guy stay away from her?" He asks more questions.

"I will. The others should too, but they may not considering the situation." I answer the first question. "And with Harry... Let's just say that'll be hard for him to do, even though she technically is engaged to me. She's not bad looking, James." I answer the second question.

"I'm not stupid. Just try and keep him away from her, okay?" He seems like he's begging. Never thought this day would come.

"It's kinda my job to do that. She is my fiance, you know?"
