At 12: 30 I rode the elevator down to the lobby and met the guys. Luckily there were no fans outside today. We easily boarded the black limo and set off for an office building.
"What'd you do today Katie?" Liam asked.
"I went to the sandwich cart on the corner for lunch. I was eating at that fountain over there when this group of girls came over. They told me what big fans they were and asked for my autograph."
"Yay! My KitKat is already signing autographs!" Niall clapped and pecked my nose.
"We're here!" Louis screamed in my ear.
"Thank you Captain Obvious! I had no idea that we were going to the building that we were in the parking lot of." I say, equally as loud.
"And sassy too. I'm beginning to like this chick." Harry remarks.
"Too bad. I'm spoken for." I nod at Niall.
"Really? Way to go Nialler!" Harry says and pats him on the back.
I rolled my eyes.
As we walk in, the reception lady gives me a look. I'm not sure what it was about, but it wasn't good. We walk down a couple hallways and stop in front of a door. Niall squeezes my had as we walk in. There are a bunch of people sitting around a giant table. I spot Simon at one end. There are six empty seats and we all sit down. As I reach for a platter with little finger sandwiches Simon speaks.
"Hello lads and lady." He looks at me. "Glad to see you again Katie." I nod at him as I begin eating. Niall has already finished 2 sandwiches. "So, for any of you who don't know, miss McForn here, has captured the heart of Mr. Horan. In his own words, I believe he said, 'I've never felt this way before. She's the most beautiful and amazing girl I've ever seen.'"
Niall and I both blushed. Harry, Liam, Zayn, and Louis all said "awwww..."
"So anyway, this meeting is to figure out how to tell the world that their beloved 'Blondie Bear' is no longer single. And that they aren't his girlfriend. So any suggestions?"
A lady sitting near me spoke up. "Why don't we just make sure lots of pictures get taken of them together and let him get asked about them is an interview?"
"When's their next interview?" Simon asked.
The man sitting across from me responded. "Thursday."
"Okay, then that's what we'll do. Katie, we want you to go and when Niall gets asked about it, he'll say, 'she's actually here. Can I bring her out?' The interviewer will most likely say yes and you'll walk out. Okay?"
"Sure, um, yeah." How was I supposed to answer that? No way, I hate cameras?
"Okay then. Boys and Katie, you're dismissed."
"Thanks Uncle Si! All the guys shouted.
As soon as we left Liam spoke, "Alright, Niall and Katie need to be seen together. Go do something you two. We'll be at the hotel. Niall, your car's in the car park."
"Okay, thanks guys. You can go now." Niall said.
"Geez Nialler! I know when I'm unwanted! You don't have to be so mean!" Harry whined.
"Bye guys! See you later!" I said, waving.
"Alright! We're going! Goodbye lovebirds! Have fun on your date!" Louis shouted as they left. Niall took my hand and led me out a separate set of doors.
"Pretend we're sneaking out." He whispers.
"Okay Blondie Bear." I whisper back. We hunched our shoulders and ran to his car , a shiny black Porsche, him leading the way. He opens the door and I climb in. We buckle our seatbelts and Niall hands me sunglasses. "What are these for? It's cloudy!"
"So people can't tell it's you. Trust me 'Niall Horan spotted with Mystery Girl' will cause more of a stir than 'Niall Horan and Katie McForn spotted together'."
"Fine. So what are we gonna do?"
"I dunno. I kinda want to talk to your dad at some point..."
"Okay, are you free tonight?"
"Yeah, why?"
"My dad wanted to go to the little Italian diner on the corner. I could ask if you could come."
"Sweet! I love Italian!" He says in an Italian accent.
"So, what do you want to do until then?" I asked laughing
"There's a street fair this week. Wanna go?"
"Why not?"
"Okay then. Is thee fair maidan ready to get thy's street fair on?"
"Of course my knight in shining armor."
We laughed as we drove to the street fair. We parked on a side road, and hopped onto the sidewalk. The air smelled like cotton candy and a Farris wheel turned in the distance. We paid admission-or rather Niall did. We walked down the midway and bought Carmel apples. Paul was two steps behind us the whole time.
"Do you want to ride the Farris Wheel with me?" Niall asked.
"Yeah! Let's go!" I said. Niall laughed and we wove our way through the crowd. We got on the ride and the seats were kinda small and so we had to squish together. Not that I'm complaining. We rode around and around until we stopped at the top. "This is so cool!" I shouted. We looked out at the London skyline and Niall put his arm around me. The seat jerked and I jumped in alarm. "You're fine." He whispered in my ear. When we got off the ride I check my phone. "I should ask my dad what time dinner is, and if you can come." I say texting my dad. Out of the corner of my eye I see Niall smile and nod once.
Within a minute, Dad responds. "Can you make it @6? Of course the blonde Irish chap can come :)"
I quickly respond. "Thx Daddy ur the best :D PS don't use emojis..."
"So? What'd your dad say?" Niall asks, taking my hand.
"Dinner's at 6."
" I'm invited I take it."
"Well, he said the blonde Irish chap could come... I guess I'll just have to go find some hot blonde Irish guy."
Niall looked at me and stood in front of me. "I think there's one available."
"Where? I don't see him. Is he behind you?" I playfully pushed him and stood on my tippy-toes trying to see around him.
"It's me silly."
"Blondie Bear! I said 'hot'. But, you'll have to do I guess." I said sadly.
He checked him phone. " It's 5:42. We'd better go. I don't want to keep your dad waiting."
"Fine, I was really hoping to find some hot blonde Irish guy to take to dinner though."
He laughed and we skipped to his car. Earning a few odd looks from old people in funny hats.
