Stolen At Birth (One Direction FanFic)

The Date

I look in the mirror and smile. Cass picked out some high waisted skinny jeans, and a superman tank top, which I have tucked into my jeans. Along with a jean jacket, in case it gets cold. My hair is in loose curls and left hanging by my shoulders. I'm not wearing a lot of makeup. Just the basics, but it still looks great.

"You look amazing! Your going to knock the socks off River." Cass grins. I mirror her. "Thanks for this, Cass. I really want this date to go well. I really like him." I ramble. Cass rolls her eyes, groaning. "I still think you would be cuter with Harry."

"No Cass. Harry is strictly a friend and a friend only." I tell her. She only rolls her eyes. "I like things how they are."

Before Cass can protest, the door bell rings. "He early!!" I shriek, dashing down the stairs, tripping a few times. "EM! Your shoes!" I look back, and Cass is at the top of the stairs, holding some royal blue convers. "Catch!" She tosses the convers at me and I catch me. I thank her.

I hop to the door, on one foot, trying to put my shoes on and walk. I put on my left shoe but when I try and put on my right, I fall over. I shriek when I land on my side. Cass comes down and laughs. "Nice one, Em."

I stand up, roll my eyes, put on my other shoe, and walk to the door. I open the door, to reveal not River, but Louis.

"Lou?" I say, confused. Louis smiles when he sees me. "Emma!" He tackles me in a bone crushing hug. I laugh, my face squished against his chest. "Hi Louis. Good to see you. Would you mind letting me go, before I pass out from lack of air?" He chuckle and lets me go.

"I came to see if you wanted to come over to my place. El is gona be there. So are the lads." He tells me. "Just a hangout." He adds, smiling hopefully. 

I look at Cass, then at him. "Sorry Lou. I have a date soon." He raises his eyebrow. "A date? With who?"

I open my mouth to respond, but the door bell rings. I open the door, revealing River. His black hair styles perfectly, and his gorgeous brown eyes sparkling. He has on some skinny jeans and a grey T, with a leather jacket. He looks quit hot.

"Damn Emma." He looks at me, biting his lower lip. I feel my cheeks heat up, and I smile bashfully. "You don't look so bad yourself." I say and he smiles.

I reach into my pocket for my phone, but it's not there. "Dang it. Forgot my phone upstairs. Can you wait one second, River? Thanks." I jog up the stairs.

I walk into my room. Cloths are everywhere. Me and Cass kinda tore up the room, trying to get me ready. I grab my phone from my messy nightstand, and jog downstairs, only to see Louis talking to River. I listen in.

"Don't you dare hurt her. Emma is my friend. You hurt her, I hurt you. Understood?" Louis pokes River's chest aggressively. River simply nods. It's hard to read his face. I can't really tell if he's scared, annoyed. Maybe both. But, Louis? You can tell he's serious. I've never seen him serious. It makes me smile that he cares so much.

I walk over to them. "Ready!" I stand by River's side, grinning ear to ear.

"Great. Let's go babe." River snakes his arm around my waist and guides me to the door. I waved bye to Cass and Lou. Louis had a sad expression on his face. I feel bad. He came over to hang out with me and Cass, but now he's just got Cass. I let out a small sigh and look away. I don't like people being upset. It makes me feel bad.

We get in the car and drive to dinner. He takes me to  fancy dinner. It's French so I can't pronounce it, or anything on the menu. River tells me what everything is and it all sounds nasty. Slugs, squid, frogs. Why don't we just eat a puppy!?
