Linnea's P.O.V.
I was sitting with Kanika and Giselle in our dorm room on my bed when I got the text.
LP: Do you want to go on a date with me? Maybe at 5:00?
Kanika and Giselle squealed loudly in my ear, obviously over joyed that a member of one direction wanted to go on a date with me. But I was frozen. I couldn't breathe, like it was physically impossible. "What do I say?" I asked my friends. Kanika looked at me like I was crazy. "Yes, duh! He's in one direction!" Giselle said to me like I was a small child. "But, I don't want to go out with him because he's in one direction!" I was getting exasperated with them. "I still say your crazy, but if you don't like him don't go" Kanika replied with frustration in her voice. "But I don't know if I like him" I pouted. "Hon, we can't make that decision for you" Giselle's maternal side was kicking in. Ugh! Guys were so confusing! I better reply soon, the poor guy must be going crazy.
LB: Sounds fun!
LP: Great! I'll pick you up at your dorm?
LB: What ever is easiest for you. If you'd rather me pick you up I will.
LP: I don't want you to have to deal with that stuff, I'll pick you up!
We texted each other for hours after Kanika and Giselle went to sleep. I started getting tired at 12:30 an I had to be at dance at 7:00 in the morning. But I really didn't want to stop talking to him.
LB: As much as I hate to say it, I have to be up early in the morning. So I need to go to sleep.
LP: :(I'll see you tomorrow?
LB: Of course!
I couldn't wait! Whoa, what am I saying? Just a few hours ago I was at their concert not wanting to be there. And if the paparazzi make the assumption were dating, which we aren't (or maybe we were?) I would get so much hate, Liam would get so much hate, because I'm not a directioner. why did people have to be so confusing?!
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
I grunted as my alarm went off loudly. I SSSOOO did not want to get up! then I remembered that I had a date with Liam tonight and a blissful smile broke the scowl on my face. I quickly ran to the shower to get ready for dance.
"Alright girls one more time. And 5 6 7 8!" my classes were going much to slow for my liking, but at least this was my last one and I was teaching, so I could end it when ever I want. As I checked my watch for the 7000th time today, the girls in my class gave me odd looks. "What's going on Linnea?" Genevieve asked timidly. "Huh?" I asked stupidly. I had been day dreaming about our date tonight. "We were wondering if you were ok" the girls told me. "Uhhhh" I didn't know if I should tell them, don't get me wrong, I trust them, but I didn't want the whole world to know. "Well, I have a date tonight......with Liam Payne." they were gonna go crazy. "You mean the hunk from one direction?!" they squealed in delight. "Yep, that's the one" I don't even know why I told them. "Know wonder you've been checking your watch every three minuets! You're nervous! we only have five minuets left just go and get ready." Genevieve told me. "Ok girls, you did really well today and you are dismissed." today has been one of the longest days of my life. I ran to my car so I could get to my dorm to get ready.
I took a longer shower than usual, making sure I didn't smell weird. I got out and got dressed, but when I walked out of the bathroom Giselle was there armed with a curler, straitener, and other various hair products like seven bottles of hair spray, mousse, and de-tangling spray. "Quickly do your make-up and I'll do your hair." she was excited. grabbing my make-up bag from the shelf I tossed my leotard and tights in the dirty clothes hamper. I looked in the mirror thinking about my make-up. my dress was a deep purple tank dress with a cap sleeve lace overlay. I decided to do a smoky eye using my purple eye shadow. I yelled for Giselle telling her I was finished. She came in and gasped "Kanika you need to come in here!" did I look that bad? "What's wrong Gise- OMG Linnea! Why didn't you tell me you were this good with make-up?!" Kanika exclaimed. "Well, I kinda have to be with all of the performances I do." I replied sassily. "Be quiet and let me work!" uh oh, Giselle needed peace an quiet.
After what seemed like hours, she took a step back and turned around. I was amazed, Giselle had curled my hair and pined it up to the side in swirling patterns. And seeing the amount of hair spray she used it might actually stay. "Thank you so much Giselle! It looks great!" "No problem hon, anytime" she said with pride in her eyes. "Linnea, he's a great guy and I hope for your sake, you let him in. don't pull your shield up, he's not going to hurt you. But as a warning don't hurt him because you will have girls around the world asking for your head on a platter." Kanika spoke with a motherly tone. "I'll do my best." I didn't want to let him in because anyone is capable of hurting another person.
I walked down to meet him outside our dorm. I was nervous to see him. And when finally pulled up and got out of the car he just stopped an stood there dumbfounded. "Do I look that bad?" I asked worriedly. "No you look....beautiful". it was my turn to look him up and down. He was dressed in a black tux. "You clean up nice" I sassed. "The last one you saw me I had just finished an exhausting concert. Cut me some slack!" He said chuckling. I smiled as he led me to the car,opening the door for me.
