C.W.B. (A Niall and Demi Fan Fiction)

                                              I - How It Began

After all the interviews, and many concert questions, the two haven't even met each other yet. But now that Niall can speak to her on skype, at least they can get a first impression. Demi is pretty nervous, sure this isn't the first time, but Demi's having a bad day and she is need of someone to talk to.

"Niall!"

"Hey, Demi!" Niall cheekily said on the other side of the screen. He waved 'hello' and Demi waved back. "So, how are you, love?"

He called her love, but not for an intimate reason, it's like a nickname, at least that's what they both thought.

Demi looking back on the second time they skyped made her frown. Currently, she was on her way to the X Factor studio.

"I can't believe he is actually a jerk in real life! Was he really just playing an act?"

"Demi, enough with that, that was a month ago, and I'm sure it's a misunderstanding," Demi's driver/agent, Marcus Flint, said. He was in his early thirties and had a wife and one daughter.

What happened a month ago or so, could surprise anyone. Demi meets One Direction for the first time, and when the boys leave Niall alone with Demi, it's like Niall changed into a whole different person.

"So, I'm your favorite in the band?" 

Before Demi could even say something Niall continued. "I guess that makes sense, I'm cute and I've said I liked you a lot of times for fun."

For fun? "What happened to the nice and innocent Niall Horan I skype and exchanged calls with?" Demi raised an eyebrow not giving into her temper.

"Look, love. That Niall Horan is an act. I've been acting cute and sensitive to everyone, and it really works out for me! Even the boys don't know the real me, and even if you try to tell them they'll laugh!" He shrugged like it was nothing.

"And you're revealing this to me why?"

"Because, I like you, it would seem unfair to you that I still hide under a mask."

De3mi still didn’t get it. Niall’s words were far from logical ones, so she asked why he would even say so when the both of them had fans opposing of them. She was already furious, she couldn't believe she didn't notice. She was known in Dallas for spotting players and liars.

"Because," Niall leaned to Demi a bit closer, making them nose to nose. "I look up to you. You have a sense of power in your voice. I respected Justin Bieber for a similar reason, love" He backed away.

Demi felt a slight shiver through her spine once he came close, but she didn't blush, she was fierce, and she could hold herself back. "Why's that?"

"He reached his dreams, after countless times of trying. And unlike me, who cried in getting third place in the X Factor U.K plus lots of people in my town compared me to him a lot and I was flattered" He shrugged.

"So that was real?" Demi felt a smirk creep up to her face.

Niall gave her a strange look. "I'm still human, love. I can't just force myself to cry, I'm not a professional actor."

"You just hide your arrogance behind a mask?"

"Exactly." Niall winks

"You may leave." Demi motioned them to leave.
