The Arranged Marriage (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 4

Hi!

So... I've just gone crazy with this desire to write in all my books.

And so I did.

Enjoy!

Tom cleared his throat.

"Jenny, are you alive? Or am I going to have to do CPR on you?" He said. The fact that he called me Jenny barely registered.

Niall laughed.

"I believe I have the right person then, your mum said you were a huge fan. Jenny, is it?" He said.

Jenny, it sounds nice when he says it. I was about to nod my head when Tom spoke for me.

"She prefers Jennifer." He said as he pushed me into the plush red seat opposite Niall.

"You two have fun. Enjoy socializing with Jennifer, Irish Dude." He said. I burst out laughing. I never thought I'd see the day when Tom called Niall 'Irish Dude' to his face. I never thought Tom would actually meet Niall...

Niall looked at me.

"Okay, so you'll laugh for no apparent reason. Is that all the socializing that we're going to do?" Niall asked.

I shook my head, maybe a little too hard.

Why can't I just talk to him?

"Okay, cool. So... What do you want to tall about?" He asked in that cute Irish accent of his... Niall, so perfect, so...

Back to earth, Jennifer. If you don't answer he's going to hate you.

I shrugged.

"I have no idea. Whatever... I guess." I said in what I hope was a calm and orderly fashion.

"Gosh I sound so lame." I accidentally said out loud. Niall laughed. I blushed a deep crimson.

"Okay. Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself and I'll tell you a bit about myself?" He suggested.

"I already know heaps about you." I blurted out and cringed when I realised what I said.

"I sound like I stalker, I know, but I'm not a stalker. I'm just a bit obsessed, that's all." I rambled.

"Wait, I'm not THAT obsessed. I just..." I trailed off.

"You know what? I think I'm just going to stop talking now..." I said. Niall pouted.

"But it's cute. The way you just seem to go on and on for no apparent reason." He said.

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I wonder if this is what it's like to have a heart attack...

"Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself?" Niall asked.

"What do you want to know?" I asked.

"Whatever you want me to know." He replied.

"Well, my name is Jennifer, and I prefer Jennifer over any other nickname... Especially Jenny. But Tom already told you that..." I say.

"My life is pretty boring. I'm looking for work, but I haven't found any. My mother bought me a house and let me have a life... Until she cracked. She has arranged a marriage for me, but it shouldn't be too bad." I said as I pressed my cheek into my hand.

"And who is that lucky man?" He said.

You. I thought. Wait... What?

"Um... Excuse me." I stuttered, pushing up off my chair.

"I will be right back." I said.

"Right after I kill someone." I murmured.

Niall looked alarmed.

"Are you alright? You don't need any help do you?"

No Niall, I don't.

I got up and walked to the bathroom.

I grabbed my iPhone and called my mother. The phone rang a few times and went to voicemail.

"Sorry I couldn't get to you.

If this is Denise, call my other phone!

If it's Jenny. Dear, I'll ring you back as soon as I can.

Please leave your message after the beep."

A beeping noise ended the message.

"Mother, you have some explaining to do." I said.

"Niall is supposed to be my future husband! He doesn't even know that!" I spat and hung up. I stormed out of the bathroom.

-------------------------------------------

I was starting to worry about Jennifer. By the way she pushed out of her chair, it seemed she was distressed or annoyed. What if she got sick? What if she needs me?

Wait, she's coming back. Never mind.

She stormed back to her chair and sat down with so much force I was scared that she may have broken the chair.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing. Everything's fine." She smiled, but it was strained.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yep." She said.

"Are you sure you're sure?" Niall asked.

"Yes Niall!" She said and sighed.

There is something that I'm not getting. I just know it.

Did you guys like it?

Was it good?

Also, we have another bystander.

(Yay! OMG YES! AMAZING!)

Who is it?

Well... It is...

(Yes, yes)
