"101 Dates."

Chapter Nine.

Chapter Nine.

"Madame, Monsieur, the menu."

The waiter came back to our table and handed us the menu.

"Thank you." Niall says and directly turns his face to mine.

"I bet that my child menu still is on the menu."

Oh silly boy I think.

"Well, I think that is too much time ago. What is the last time you have eaten here?" I ask.

"Must have been years."

"Okay. I say no and you say yes? In three we open the menu. 1... 2... 3!"

"Yes! I was right!" Niall shouts and everyone in the restaurant looks at us. I feel a bit ashamed but how can I be he is so cute.

"But wait a minute" I say "I don't have one in my menu. So I win!"

"Oh. No, let's say we both have won!"

"Okay, okay. Well let me see your 'child menu'. Niall gives me his menu and there I see 'Nialls child menu'.

"It's even called after you." I say.

Fries, spaghetti, soup, ice cream are the things on it and deep in my head I really want to order something from his child menu.

Some time later the waiter comes back again. "Can I take your orders please?"

"Yes, please." Niall says. "We want the surprise menu." He whispers something in the waiters ear. I look at Niall when he is done but he only smirks his stupid smirk. "Niall?"

"Yes my dear."

"What have you said to him."

"Nothing. Surprise."

And then the worst thing what can happen on a date happens: silence. I don't know what to say and Niall looks around the restaurant. But suddenly my phone saves me. Calling is not done in a restaurant so I drop my spoon and I dive under the table.

"Hello?" I whisper.

"Lauren!" It's my mom.

"Where are you? It's nine o'clock and you would be here at eight!" She yells.

"Mom, I'm at a restaurant."

"What? A restaurant?" My mom almost screams into the phone."

"Wait a minute mom."

I take my head out of the table and say to Niall that I'm going to the bathroom.

"Lauren" my mom says through the phone. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Sorry. I totally forgot. I'm sorry."

"But Lauren you weren't even dressed for a restaurant."

"I know, I know, we bought something."

"Bought something? Nothing expensive I hope? You did buy it by yourself, didn't you?"

"I.."

"Lauren? Did he buy it? I don't like this Niall boy, Lauren, listen to me! I think he is a playboy. Listen to me, come home now!"

"Mom, he isn't! If he was he already had done it with me."

"Lauren, come home."

"No, I'm having dinner and I'm not coming home before I have eaten anything."

"You don't have to come home today anymore then."

"Mom..."

And then she ended the call.

"That took long." Niall said.

"I'm sorry. Someone called. Can I perhaps sleep at yours tonight?"

"Sure honey."
