it's you [malik]

six | bad luck

"Bringing him back to you're place? You dirty slut." Nia laughs through my phones speaker.

God, I hope he didn't hear that.

"Shut up. We'll be there in a few." I say rolling my eyes and glancing towards Niall who has a smirk on his face.

He totally heard her.

"I'm sorry. My bestfriends are something." I apologize on her behalf.

This is about to be such a mess. They have no chill when it comes to any of us dating.

"She sounds lovely." he chuckled.

"You, Niall. Are not funny." I say trying to hold back a laugh while he parks in the parking lot.

We get buzzed up by one of the girls then ride up the elevator and walk right to my apartment number.

Please be clean. I should've cleaned before I left but I didn't.

If the place is dirty he might just think I'm a total slob and never want to see me again.

So thats great.

"We're here!" I say after unlocking the door peeping my head in first before letting Niall in.

It's not dirty at all actually. I guess Brook and Nia decided to clean everything up before we got here.

Both of my friends appear from the kitchen smiling at us; it almost looked staged as if they planned to walk from there.

"Hey." they both say at the same time and now I know they rehearsed this.

"Niall these are my bestfriends Nia and Brooklyn. They are annoying and inappropriate so hopefully that doesn't bother because there's a lot of it to go around." I say being completely honest.

"Oh shut up, Alana. She's no saint." Brook says turning towards an amused Niall.

At least he finds us funny.

"So, how was the date?" Nia asked us.

"It was absolutely horrible thats why she invited me here." Niall teased.

"Oh. He's cute and has a sense of humor." Nia sassed jokingly.

We all just sat on the couches that swallow up our small living room. I'm sitting with Niall (his arm is around me) on one and the girls are on the other.

It's all been great honestly.

Niall's extremely funny and charming which the girls love. I haven't even really said anything I just like sitting her watching him interact with them.

It gives me a feeling that this might actually work out.

That was until,

"What's Blaze Rehearsal CD." I hear Niall ask while he leaned over to get his glass of wine.

What the fuck?

I look at the table and see the plastic disk sitting right in front of us and I can almost feel steam coming out of my ears.

"That's nothing." I say trying to change the subject.

This bitch really set me up. After I told her explicitly that I didn't want to go with her stupid plan she went and dug through my shit and found this video.

I'm going to kill her.

"You wanna watch?" Brook asks enthusiastically standing up from the couch grabbing the disc and putting it in our DVD player. 

I look across the room at Nia and she looks as shocked at me.

"It's just this stupid video from us in high-school. Brooklyn stop." I try to explain but his eyes are fixed on the screen.

I hear the all too familiar music play then I just lean back on the couch wishing it could swallow me whole.

He makes me feel so good.

I might just strangle her right now.

The video plays showing us dancing my routine and singing Nia's song called "Sugar". This is one of the videos I used for my application, one of the better ones.

It felt like the longest 2 minutes of my life.

When it was over Nia and I just sat flabbergasted not saying anything to him.

"So, what do you think?" Brook says smiling expectantly at my date.

"You guys are amazing. Alana didn't tell me you all were so talented. Are you not signed?" He said looking around at the three of us.

"We dont do that anymore. We have jobs and Brooklyn is in coll-" I start to say but of course the fake bitch cuts me off.

"We never got a chance. Reality hit us so we just stopped and decided to focus on more boring and practical things." she says trying to sound helpless.

"Nia."

She looked at me and shrugged. We can't do anything about it she's just going to keep going like our opinions don't matter to her.

"I can talk to my manager Simon. He's actually been looking for something new for his label and you girls might be it." he said.

"That's really not necessary." I say.

"That would be amazing Niall. Thank you so much." she says hugging him.

So I guess he can't hear me.

"You can take this, if you want." she says taking out the disc and putting in back into it's case.

This is not happening.

"Fabulous." he says taking it from her.

I just sit there pissed off but not trying to show it so I don't scare Niall off. I just want to scream at her right now.

I hear his phone ring then he excuses himself into another room and answers it.

"Are you fucking stupid?" I whisper-yell at Brook.

"No I'm smart actually. You didn't have the balls to do it so I did. You should be thanking me." she says then I scoff.

"Alana, love. I'm leaving." Niall says walking back over to us.

"Okay. I'll walk you down." I say then walk over to the door.

"Bye ladies. It was lovely meeting you both." he says hugging them quickly then joined me at the door.

I honestly didn't want him to leave. Besides the stunt Brook pulled I actually had a really good time with him.

We get down to the lobby and I see the car waiting for him outside but he just turned to me instead.

"I had a amazing time today." he smiles adorably.

"So did I." I smile back.

Is he going to kiss me?

Taking him to my apartment and possibly kissing on the first date? I never knew I could be so scandalous.

"I will be taking you out on dates very often now so, get used to it." he says then I laughed.

"I have no complaints." I smile leaning closer to him.

I see his hand come up to cup my cheek and as soon as I thought he was going to kiss me he kissed my cheek.

What a tease.

"Can't kiss you on the first date, love. That's bad luck." he chuckled then turned to walk away.

"You're Irish. You could never have bad luck." I say back as he opens the lobby door.

"La próxima vez." he winked at me.

Next time.
