Little Imagines

Blind Date (Karissa and Niall)

A blind date. How the hell did you let your friend talk you into this. You hadn't been on a date in a year and weren't thinking about going on one for a few more. But despite your efforts, you were sitting in the passenger seat of your best friend's, Kat, truck, wearing a green dress she had picked out for you. As you headed to where ever you were going to meet the "guy of your dreams" Kat was going on about him. How he was a great guy, with an amazing laugh. How he was super sweet, nice, caring, and he could play the guitar and sing. Not even the fact he could play the guitar made you feel like going through what you went through last time you had a boyfriend. You sigh and look out the window.

"Hey. Earth to Karissa. You should be excited!" Kat said, bring your attention back to her. 

"I am." you say flatly, not even trying to sound convincing.

"What's wrong?" She asks, "Is this about Marcel?" 

Marcel was your old boyfriend, who dumped you for another girl. It happened a year ago, but now, you just don't give any guy a chance if he shows even the slightest bit of interest in you, afraid he'll just hurt you.

"What if he doesn't like me?" you ask.

"He'll love you. Whats not to love? You're awesome, energetic, you love to laugh and you're pretty darn cute. I know he'll love you. And if he doesn't, I will have failed as a friend." She adds with a dramatic sigh.

You can't help but smile, knowing Kat would never set you up with someone who would hurt you. You soon reach the place where you are suppose to meet him. 

"How will I know it's him?" you ask, starting to get nervous.

"He'll be holding a red rose. Don't worry, you can't miss him."

You wonder who came up with the cliche way of holding a rose, but you shrug it off as you get out of the truck. Kat gives you a thumbs up, and drives off, probably to hang out with her boyfriend.

You sigh, your nerves getting to you. You stare at the door of the restaurant, really nervous. You bite your lip and go inside. It's a little Italian bistro type thing, nothing really fancy, but nice, You look around the place and see a few tables filled., but no one holding a red rose. You sigh and sit down on one of the little benches. Worried he wont show up. 

You hear a cough next to you. You don't look up till you hear a voice. It's a guys voice and he has an accent. Irish you think.

"Are you Karissa?" He asked.

You finally raise your head to look at the mysterious person. Your eyes go wide when you see who it is, The blond hair and blue eyes belong to none other then Niall Horan from the band one direction. You make a mental note to kill Kat for not telling you it was him you were meeting and the bring her back to life for getting her to get you to go on this date.

"Y-yes. I-I'm Karissa"You stutter, becoming even more nervous then before.

He smiles a little, blushing. "Um, here," He hands you a red rose. " This is for you."

You take the rose, your hand touching his. You both pull back, kinda embarrassed.

"So, uh, food?" You mutter out nervously, mentally kicking yourself for being so awkward.

"Yeah, food is good! I like the food!" Niall replies. He has a funny look on his face, like he can't believe those words just came out of his mouth. "We should probably get a table.." He says, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"Yeah, that would be a good idea." You agree.

You get up, following him over to the podium thing where a lady stands, smiling widely at the two of you, " How can I help you?" She asks warmly
