Must be a Dream

Ch 9

Kate's pov:

"You were not lying when you said you get scared easily" Niall laughed at me as we got up from our seats

"Shut up okay, I know." I laughed back. I've always been like that. "It can be worse than that though"

"What do you mean?" he questioned

"When someone scares me, I don't just jump and hide."

"So what do you do?"

"I jump and swing. Like I jump, put my fist up and swing at what's ever in front of me"

"I don't believe you, you look to sweet to hurt anyone" he smiled

"Okay, don't believe me, but take that as a warning" I laughed at the memory of me yelling and threatening the receptionist right before I saw him.

I didn't want to tell him what my job was. What if he saw me as to manly for him. But then again I shouldn't care because this isn't real.

"Alright, we shall see"

We threw away our garbage and started walking toward the exit.

"You know for this not being a real date, I had fun" he smiled

"Ya I did to considering we were interrupted 4 times by your fans"

"Ya, I'm surprised that, that's all we got. Guess we got lucky tonight"

He spoke to soon. As we made our way to the glass doors you could see the large group of people all grasping camera and others help microphones.

"Shit" Niall breathed "I knew management would do this,we could find another way?" he looked over to me

I debated it, but wasn't this the point of our date? This is what I signed up for. But I was in no mood to deal with stuff right now. We can just plan another date and take pictures when I look better.

"Can we please"

"I'll call the driver" he stated and pulled me in a different direction

"On the count of 3. 1.....2.....3!" He yelled and we darted out of the back door and into the opened car.

"We did it" I happily yelled as he closed the door and we sped off

"Yes, yes we did." He smiled down at me. As creepy as it sounds I could just star at his face all day long. I swear I was put in a trance every time he smiled.

"Hello" he waved his hand in my face. I snapped back to reality "like what you see" he teased.

"What?" I asked. See I told you, trance.

"You were staring at me"

"Oh sorry" I blushed

"No, don't be. It gave me a chance to stare a little to" this made me blush even more "oh, I'm so sorry that sounded really creepy" he was now blushing

I didn't respond, I didn't know how to. Then I felt something warm brush up against my hand. I looked up at Niall but he was staring out the tinted window. I continued to look out the window in front of me. That's when he grabbed my hand. I didn't look at him, I just smiled. But the smile slightly faded when I realized. This isn't real and it won't last forever.

"Well I had a good night with you tonight Ms. Lopez"

"As did I Mr. Horan"

We were now standing in front of my house. Staring at each other. He started to lean in while closing his eyes.

I want to. I really want to, but this isn't real. This is to fix a problem and falling for him would just create another. I quickly turned my head and he kissed my check. A flash went off.

"Well that photo will be cycling to internet like a virus on steroids by tomorrow morning" I stated

"Ugggh, ya" he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. Guess the big pop star isn't used to having his kiss rejected.

"Well good night Niall" I turned, put my key in the door and pushed it open

"Ya, good night. Oh and would you like to go on another date soon?" He asked with hope in his voice.

"Well that is my job" I laughed, but stopped when he wasn't laughing as well. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to be rude. I would like to go on another date."

"It's okay, just text me later and let me know when you available"he half smiled. I nodded and slowly closed the door and ran to the window to watch him walk away. Yep it's official I am a creeper.

He took his time walking back to the car. Taking glances back at my house. He tried to kiss me, but I rejected it. If I kiss him I will most likely fall for him, I had a tendency to do that to myself. And I can let myself fall.

You'll have to kiss him sooner or later my subconscious told me. And I replied to it with a big fuck you.

I jumped off the couch and made sure everything was locked. I walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water and a banana. I sat down at the counter and peeled my banana from the bottom like I always do, I'm just awesome like that. A piece of paper caught my eye.

It read.

Kate, came home and left on a date. Do you remember when I mentioned Dave to you, well that's who I'm with. Be home around midnight.Hope you had fun on your date.

Love, Shy

I checked my phone and saw it was already 11:30. I jogged up the stairs after finishing my banana and over to my dad's room.

"Dad, you still asleep?" I was replied with a loud snore.

"Love you" I slowly closed the door and walked to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and hair.

Once I got to my room I changed into my grey Nike short shorts and sports bra, I didn't like feeling trapped by my cloths when I sleep. Plus I like being as close to my blankets as possible. I threw my hair into a messy bun and jumped into my bed. I was whooped and had work tomorrow. Sleep immediately took over.
