Lillian's POV
I've got about half an hour before I'm supposed to be at Niall's apartment to meet his friends. I know that most girls would be freaking out, trying to figure out what to wear to impress his friends, but I'm not. It's just Niall and his friends, so why would I?
Once it gets closer to when I'm supposed to meet him, I get dressed and walk over to his apartment. When I get there I press the buzzer to let him know I'm here. He automatically let's me in, so I open the door and walk up the stairs to his flat. Niall's door is already open when I get to it, and there's a very smiley Niall standing in the opening. "Hey." I greet Niall.
"Hey, Lilly. Ready to meet my friends?" Niall asks.
"I guess." I shrug my shoulders, and he lets me inside.
"They're in the living room playing video games." Niall informs me, making me smirk from remembering how I annihilated him on the video game yesterday.
"How many of them are there?" I ask, taking my shoes and jacket off.
"There's four, but you've already met two of them." He answers.
"Liam and Louis, right?" I say, trying to remember their names.
"Yep." And then we walk to the living room. When I walk into the room all heads turn to me. They look at me like I'm some super model or something along that line.
"Um, hi?" I say, raising my hand in an awkward wave.
"Hey." They all say in unison.
"Staring is definitely not caring." I tell them, starting to become a little self-conscious.
"Guys, really. She's not an angel or sent from heaven, so stop staring at her like she is." Niall snaps.
"She has to be an angel, mate, she got you out of the house." One of Niall's friend, who has curly hair, says.
"And she's gorgeous." Liam comments.
"I'll be sure to inform your girlfriend that you said that." Niall says, giving Liam a death glare.
"So, um. I'm Lillian, if you guys don't know that." I introduce myself.
"I'm Harry." The curly haired one, who spoke previously, introduces himself.
"And I'm Zayn." Niall's other friend introduces himself. For some strange reason all of their names seem so familiar and they look quite familiar, as well. It's kind of weird.
"Have I met you guys before?" I ask them.
"You've seen Liam and Louis before." Niall tells me.
"I know that, Niall." I snort, "I mean before that."
"Not that I know of." Louis says.
"Unless you've been to one of our concerts." Harry adds.
"Concerts?" I question, looking towards Niall.
"Yeah, about that." Niall says, scratching the back of his head. "That's also one of the reasons I invited you over. I really don't like keeping things from you, especially this."
"I'm not catching on here." I say, slightly confused.
"I'm- we're in a band. A band called One Direction, and we're kind of famous." He stumbles over his words. One Direction, where have I heard of that?
"Wait a minute. One Direction as in that famous boy band that's absolutely everywhere?" I ask.
"That would be us." He confirms.
"Well now I feel bad for thinking that you guys were that annoying boy band that I couldn't escape. Oops." I awkwardly laugh.
"It's not our fault we're everywhere." Niall fake pouts.
"You like us now, don't you?" Louis asks.
"Well, I don't really know you guys, so you'll have to wait for that answer." I reply cheekily. So we all decided to get to know each other a little bit. We spent about two hours telling little things about ourselves, some of the guys deciding to tell major secrets. Well, they were secrets to me, but not to each other since they told me that they tell each other everything.
"Well, I've got to go now. But it was nice seeing you again, Lillian." Liam says, then says goodbye to the other four.
"Don't you have work tonight?" Niall asks me once Liam leaves.
"Nah. I work every other day, switching between the lunch shift and the dinner shift every other work day." I tell him.
"Oh, cool."
After a little while of chatting and playing games -which I won every time, especially in Call Of Duty-, Louis, Zayn and Harry left to go back to their own apartments after saying their goodbyes to Niall and I.
"And then there were two." I say, breaking the slightly awkward silence. Niall just laughs.
"Do you have any plans tonight?" Niall asks out of the blue.
"Nope. Why do you ask?" I answer, not sure why he asked.
"Well, um. I was wondering if, you know, you wanted to, like, go out to dinner with me tonight?" He asks, having trouble asking me.
"I would love to!" I grin.
"Great." He grins back. "I'll pick you up at your flat at seven, if that's alright with you."
"That's good. It gives me enough time to get ready." I agree.
"So, yeah. I'll see you at seven, then."
"Yep." I say, then start to head out of his flat. "Oh, wait. Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise." He tells me.
"Well, I need to know what to wear." I inform him.
"Wear whatever you'd like." I give him a look and he says, "Okay, fine. All I'm going to tell you is to wear something casual."
"Okay, I'll see you at seven." I say, gathering my things.
"Bye." He waves as I walk out of his flat.
As I get to my apartment I come to the realization that I'm going on what could possibly be a date with Niall. I have a slight freak out session after realizing that.

AN: So, sorry it's been a little while since I last updated. As I told you guys in the previous chapter, I've got friends moving -two have already left-, so I've been trying to hang out with them. And that's on top of trying to keep up with all of my school work, my weekly art class, trying to visit places before I move, getting ready to move, attempting to keep in contact with my friends that don't live where I live and being sick all of the time. I know it didn't take me too long to update, but these are my reasons for taking longer to update than what I wanted to. So, yeah.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! What do you guys think of Lillian's and Niall's might-be date? How do you think it's going to go?
Oh, and tomorrow's my first wattpad "birthday"! Just thought I should let you guys know :)
Sorry for the long author's note!
