The Arranged Marriage (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 11

Melissa's POV

"My fiancé is the one and only, Melissa Monroe."

Some people in the crowd gasp, others start crying and a few just sit there.

"Melissa Monroe? As in the Melissa Monroe right there next to Louis?" Kristine asks in disbelief.

"That'd be her." Niall answers.

"Now, why does she looked just as shocked as the rest of us?" Kristine questions, obviously not fully believing Niall.

Niall shrugs and says, "I don't know, don't ask me."

"You're such a great fiancé, Niall." Liam says sarcastically.

"So, Melissa, why do you seem as shocked as the rest of us?" Kristine asks me, ignoring Liam's comment.

I slowly process what she says and then say, "I forgot that Niall was announcing this, so when he said it I was a little shocked. Also, I'm not used to being called his fiancé."

"That makes sense." Kristine comments.

"Yep." I say, not knowing what else to say.

"So Melissa, how do you feel about all of this?" Kristine asks.

"I'm not really sure. It's amazing, but at the same time horrible." I tell her, then add, "If that makes any sense."

"I understand. You love Niall and being engaged to Niall, but having to share him with millions of other girls isn't fun at all."

"Exactly. I love Niall to death, but I'm not one to share." I laugh. I'm such a good liar! This is fun!

"Aww. My baby's jealous!" Niall coo's.

"Shut it!" I growl.

"Gosh, aren't they so cute?" Kristine asks the crowd. The crowd cheers in response.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After more questions about mine and Niall's engagement we finally get to leave.

"So did you have fun?" Louis asks once we get in the limo.

"What do you think?" I ask him.

"I don't know. That's the reason I asked you." Louis laughs.

"It was okay. Other than running into a pole and lying to the entire world, it was great."

"Awesome!" Louis says, being strangely happy.

After remembering what Liam said the other day I say, "Not gonna rat anyone out, but someone told me I'd find out during the interview what Niall went shopping for the other day. Anyone care to tell me what it is and why I didn't find out when I was told I would?"

"Who told?" Niall asks angrily.

"It doesn't matter, Niall. I just want to know the answers to my question, please." I tell Niall, saving Liam's butt...for now.

"I'm not going to tell you what it is," Niall starts, "but I can tell you why you didn't get it, yet. Since I couldn't get it myself the other day I had to go later and because of that it didn't finish in time for the interview."

"Fine. I guess I'll just have to wait." I sigh.

"Yep." Niall laughs.

"When we get home head to the living room! I've got something for us to do!" I say excitedly after coming up with an awesome idea. The boys all said okay.

We arrived home shortly after.

I quickly got out of the limo and ran into the apartment, straight to the living room. The boys slowly followed me.

Once they sat down Harry asks, "So why do you have all of us here?"

"Because I've got a game for all of us to play!" I answer.

"What type of game?" Zayn asks.

"It's a question game." I tell them.

"What type of question game?" Louis asks, purposely being annoying.

"It's twenty questions. Not the electronic version, but where you guys ask me twenty questions and I do the same with you guys." I say, ignoring Louis.

"There's an electronic version?" Liam asks.

"Yes, Liam. It's where you pick a person, place or thing and the circle thing asks you twenty questions to try and figure out what you picked." I say slowly so he'll understand me, also to be annoying.

"I'm not stupid." Liam huffs.

"Nope. Just retarded." I laugh.

Before Liam can come up with a comeback Niall asks, "So who asks first, us or you?"

"You guys can ask first, then we can take turns asking questions." I explain. The boys huddle up and start whispering. I assume they're trying to figure out what to ask me. They get out of their huddle and Louis motions for Zayn to ask the question.

"Why did you move to Ireland? We already know the gist of it, but we'd like a further explanation and why your family chose Ireland." Zayn asks, explaining the question so I understand.

"That's a tough one. It was so long ago I don't remember, so bare with me." I start, "I moved to Ireland so I could get away from all of the rich people that were trying to use me. We picked Ireland because I said I wanted to go to Ireland. We chose Mullingar because my mom had heard of it and thought it would be a great place to live and no one knew about."

"Mullingar is great. Lived there for quite some time, I should know." Niall comments.

"Yada, yada. Your turn, Mel!" Louis says, getting impatient.

"What's your guys' favorite color?" I ask.

"That's such a boring question!" Harry complains.

"I know, but it's something I need to know." I tell Harry.

Liam is the first one to answer the question saying, "My favorite color is purple. I know it's not a 'manly' color, but I like it anyways."

"Purple's a cool color and not at all girly." I assure him.

"Mine is blue at the current moment." Zayn says, answering my question.

"Blue. Blue is a good color." I comment.

"Mine's red." Louis answers.

"My dads favorite color is red!" I say enthusiastically.

"Sweet."

"Yep."

Harry then decides to answer my question saying, "My favorite color changes all of the time. It's a toss up between blue, pink and orange."

"That's only natural. Although I don't get pink. Pink is yuck, pink is gross." If you can't tell, I don't like the color pink.

"What's so wrong with pink?" Harry whines.

"It's girly and I just don't like it, that's all." I inform him.

AN: So... I know it isn't very long and there really isn't much important going on in the chapter, but in every good book there's going to be a few boring chapters. This chapter is more like a filler, something to give you a taste of the characters day-to-day life and how they act. I'm not sure about the boys' favorite colors, so sorry if they're wrong. I just went off what the internet says. Anywho, if you'd like you can go check out my new story "The One That Got Away?" or maybe my other one "Dark Liam". I've got three chapters up for TOTGA? and two up for Dark Liam. Just a warning, Dark Liam has very slow updates. I'm co-writing it now so it'll go a little quicker than planned, but I have to write the next chapter, so it might take a while for the third chapter to get up. Well, I hope you like this chapter!
