Fate: A Larry Stylinson, Niall AU, and Liam AU fanfic

Chapter 3

Meliza’s phone buzzed in her pocket, announcing a call. Meliza waited a few seconds, taking a few deep breaths before answering “Hello?” “Hey, Meliza?” It was Niall’s voice.

Meliza bit her lip to keep her breathing even “This is her” she said, stirring the pot. “It’s Niall. I was wondering if you wanted to make that dinner tonight?” Meliza laughed softly “Well considering you’re the only Irish person I know, I figured it was you. And I’m actually in the middle of cooking some homemade alfredo...” She bit her lip, WHY did she have to offer to cook tonight? She didn’t think Niall meant tonight. “Oh.... well, maybe some other time then...” Misty was in the doorway, and scared the hell out of Meliza when she spoke up, “Go. I can take over.”  “Hang on a second Niall,” Meliza said and looked up at her sister “Really?” she asked softly, biting her lip. Misty nodded. “Its alright sis. Go have fun.” Meliza kissed her cheek “You’re the best, I owe you” Misty shrugged, taking over dinner. “Love you” she whispered before getting back on the phone with Niall “I can make it tonight” she said, smiling.”Awesome. I’ll pick you up in 15 minutes?” Meliza’s eyes went wide, FIFTEEN MINUTES to get completely ready?!? “Is that okay?” Niall sounded excited. Meliza giggled softly at his excitement. “Yeah. Where are we going? So I know what to wear” she asked, twirling her hair. “An Italian place,” Niall said, “its a suprise.”

Meliza smiled, the perfect outfit coming to mind. “Alright, I’ll see you soon” Niall hung up. Meliza ran upstairs and got dressed quickly, popping in a breath mint and finishing it quickly. Misty continues working on dinner.Meliza walked up to her “What do you think?” Misty nodded and smiled. “Excellent.” Meliza grinned and walked to her parents. “Momma, daddy, I have a date tonight. I won’t be out too late, promise” Their parents nod and say their goodbyes. Slightly surprised that her dad didn’t demand to know who it was and breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling her phone buzz in a hidden pocket of her dress she saw it was a text from Niall saying he was parked outside. She had texted him her address earlier. Niall was in front of the house, and waiting for her. Meliza stepped out of the house and broke into a smile the moment she saw him “Hi” she said softly. He grinned. “Hi.” Misty watched them from the window, smiling a little. “Ready to go?” Meliza asked, looking up at him. Why did she have to be so short! Niall nodded and offered her his hand. Meliza bit her lip slightly and took his hand, heart pounding. He led her to the car, and drove away.

Meliza sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window as she hummed quietly to the music, hoping Niall couldn’t hear her. She didn’t sing or hum in front of people; ESPECIALLY not Niall. He chuckled, “You are humming.” Meliza blushed deeply and stopped, biting her lip harshly. “Sorry” she said quietly. “You’re fine love” Meliza reminded herself that ‘love’ was just a term used by people from England and Ireland but it still made her heart flutter. Her date smiled, as .they pulled up to a small town Italian place.

Meliza smiled and when Niall parked she got out, leaving her phone in the car so there were no interruptions. She put it where it couldn’t be seen though, so that no one tried to steal it. He held a door open for her at the entrance.Meliza grinned “Such the gentleman” she smiled and stepped inside. They are seated and the waiter takes their drink orders “I hope you like it here.” Meliza smiled “I’m sure I will, I love Italian.” That made Niall grin. The drinks arrive, and Niall made small talk. Meliza talked and laughed with him, and it gradually became a normal date with just a regular guy. Out in the car, her phone rang, the caller ID coming up with Misty’s name. When she didn’t get an answer Misty shrugged and went to bed.

Meliza was enjoying herself, she didn’t get asked on dates that often. Niall smiled at her, and said once the food arrived “Enjoy”  “Thanks” Meliza said softly and started to eat, closing her eyes happily. After they ate, Niall frowned. “I guess I have to take you home now.” Meliza pouted, looking down. Niall leaned over and tilted her chin up and kissed her gently over the table. At first she didn’t kiss back, shocked, but soon melted into the kiss. Niall grinned. When the kiss was over Meliza’s eyes fluttered open and she looked at Niall. He smiled at her. Meliza smiled back, biting her bottom lip; the same one that just kissed Niall Horan. “Let me drive you home.” He smiled. Meliza nodded slowly, sad that her date was over already. “Lets do this again sometime,” he said and it caused Meliza to smile “I’d like that.”
