The Dating Game (Niall Horan fanfic)

Chapter 19 (The Arrangement)

Ring ring. Ring ring. Ring ring. I stood up from my bed and took my phone. Without looking at it I just hit the answer button.

"Finally" I could hear a sudden whisper to the phone which intrigued me to look at the number. It was an unknown number.

"Erm, who is this?" I asked still in a croaky voice

"Chris"

"How did you get my cell phone number?" I asked bewildered

"From Niall. I heard what happened" he said

"Chris that doesn't give you a chance, okay?" I said

"I know but please just give it a try" he begged

"Chris I'm sorry but I would have to say no" I said

"Come on babe" he pleaded one more time

"No don't call me babe" I said getting pissed off

"Well can I at least ask you on a date?" He asked

"No" I answered

"Come on, its not even a date. Its a party and I need a plus one" he said

"Another party? Wow." I said

"So do you want to come?" He asked

"Are Niall and Mahalia coming?" I asked

"I don't think so" he answered

"Alright, what kind of party is it?" I asked

"A halloween party but it's set on the beach so you have to bring some clothes. we're staying over." he answered

"So do I also have to dress up?" I asked

"Yes" he answered

"Alright." I said

"Tomorrow night. By the way you're friends might go since the other lads are invited." He said

"Uhm. Angel. I also need to talk to you in person" he said

"Why?" I asked

"You'll never regret it" he answered

"Alright. Meet me in the caf near my place. You do know where I live right?" I asked

"Oddly yes" he answered

"Weird but alright. Meet you in an hour?" I asked

"Sure" he answered then I hung up

I went to the bathroom and took a shower. I sat on my bed while I was covered in my towel. I feel like I'm cheating on Niall but I have to remember that Niall cheated first. I decided to snap out of my deep thought and get dressed. I grabbed my stuff and walked to the cafe. He was already waiting there.

"You're early" I said

"Quite" he raised up to give me a hug

I gave him a hug back and sat on the chair opposite his.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked

"Do you still love Niall?" He asked

"Yes, why?" I asked bewildered

"I know a plan that'll get him back" he answered

"Alright tell me" I said

"I lied, Mahalia and Niall are going to the party and Mahalia is Niall's plus one" he said

"What? Are they like going out or something?" I asked

"They're going out" he answered

I looked down at my fingers. Ugh. So was that whole relationship a joke to him?

"So what is your plan?" I asked

"Go out with me" he answered

"What?" I asked in a loud aggressive tone of voice

"Shhh. You heard me. Go out with me" he repeated

"Are you out of your mind Christopher Brown?" I asked

"How do you know my name? But yes I am but please just do it" he said

"Ugh" I looked back down and buried my face onto my palms

"I-I can't even begin to explain what I'm feeling right now. I've rejected you an awful lot of times can't you understand?" I said

Chris flushed red "You don't have to like me. I'm doing this for you"

"No Chris. I don't want you to" I said

"Is it because of me?" He asked

"No its because I don't want to hurt you" I said

"Of course you don't" Chris looked back down on his fingers

"I'm sorry" I said

"Its alright" he answered.
