Just my luck

Chapter 5

Marie's POV

I got my little bag from my car and locked the car door. I hoped the band would accept me. I reached the top floor in the hotel, and knocked on the single door. Only a couple seconds later, Niall opened it.

"Again, Niall I can't thank you enough."

"It was really no problem. You don't seem like an axe murderer."

"Well, looks can be deceiving" I said with a smirk. I really liked Niall. He was caring, funny, and kind.

We walked over to the couch together, with my bag, and he put a blanket on the dark leather couch where I would sleep. He explained that Liam was always up at the crack of dawn and that he would almost never get up.

"But I'm glad I got up today. I got to meet a pretty girl."

"And I'm glad I ran away and went to that café. I got to meet a nice guy."

"Oh, so I'm not hot but you are?!"

"Yeah, pretty much." I said sarcastically.

"It's almost one in the morning, and I have a concert tonight."

"I'll go to sleep now. Goodnight, Niall!" I called after him.

In the morning, when I woke up I saw two beautiful blue eyes staring down at me. As I stretched, I pushed him away, so I had some space to breathe. "Thanks for letting me crash here, but I should probably get going."

"NO!" He said as he pulled me to him. "I don't want you to leave, get some food, and go shopping to get a dress for the concert tonight. You can come to the interview after too."

"Okay. But you have to promise me something."

"Whatever it is, I'll do it."

"Oh, wow." I was shocked. Nobody had ever said that to me."Okay, I have to buy the dress."

"You'll have to talk to Zayn about that."

"Then you have to bring me to a nice dinner, so I can wear the dress more than once." I didn't know what to say. I really liked him, but I didn't know if he liked me too.

Niall's POV

"I'm booking a reservation right now!" I said as I walked/ran towards my computer. I got reservations for a five star restaurant the next night, before the concert.

Marie had already left with Zayn, a couple minutes ago, so I texted him to see if they had already left. They were almost at the dress shop, so I was gone. At the store, I called to an associate, who thankfully didn't recognize me in all black, with a black hat and sunglasses. I asked in an American accent what I should get, and he gave me a black suit with a white long sleeved collared button down to go under it, with black pants, and black dress shoes because black was 'my style'. I picked out a green tie, and tried it on.

After I bought my suit, I went back to the hotel, and Marie and Zayn were back and watching TV. I snuck to my room without her noticing, and hid my suit, I don't know why, but I did.

Marie's POV

We went to a little boutique, but it was really expensive, and I couldn't afford a single earring there. But before I could even check a price on a single dress, I had like 7 in my arms to try on. I tried them on and they were all beautiful, and overpriced. Zayn told me to pick one in thirty seconds.

"Oh, geez! I can't pick one." I smiled

"But you will pick one." He said with confidence.

I finally picked a navy blue long, elegant dress that went over one shoulder and had a diamond flower on the shoulder. It dragged behind me, and was very flowy. When I looked at the price tag, I almost doubled over. $7000 to wear twice! I could never afford that, especially with working at Dunkin Donuts.

"I can't afford this. We have to go somewhere else." He wouldn't let me, and I forgot to bring my credit card.
