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

VII - Awkward...Who wants to eat?

                        VII - Awkward...Who wants to eat?

Placed between Demi and Joe—around a table—was the one and only leprechaun, Niall Horan. Of course, it was getting quite awkward.

Demi looked impatient and just wanted it all to end. She constantly checked her watch each minute, feeling like it’s been hours. She wanted to go home. This whole thing was pointless. Joe felt the same way.

He placed his head on top of his left arm, while Niall sat awkwardly. Even butting in didn’t feel like much of an options. It took a few more minutes before Niall had finally decided to break the seemingly, never ending, silence.

"Um, awkward..." Niall began fiddling with his fingers. "Who wants to eat?" he asked hopefully.

Demi and Joe both stare at Niall like he was crazy, making the moment even more awkward.

Joe and Demi regretted appearing.

Demi felt like she should’ve seen it coming. She should’ve known Niall was up to no good when he called her at 2:00 AM. She remembers it very clearly.

She was sleeping soundly on her bed, finally having a good night's sleep, when all of a sudden an Irish jingle breaks the sweet silence. She let it ring and ignored it but it just kept ringing and ringing, pausing every one minute. It seemed like he wouldn’t take a hint, and it angered Demi.

"What!?" She shouted into the phone as she answered it and sat up, punching the wall. That would help her wake up.

Niall sniggered sheepishly. "Sorry, were you sleeping?"

"Oh! Of course not! I was happily dancing around my room in the morning!"

Niall hesitated, calling a very busy Demi wasn’t his brightest idea. "Can you come to xxxxx tomorrow at 9:00 AM?"

Demi groaned. If that was all he wanted, he could’ve simply texted. Actually, he could’ve called the next morning. "Fine! Couldn't you have just texted!? My god!"

"Oh...right...But I wanted to hear your beautiful voice and—”

Demi hung up, and buried her head in the soft pillow.

Joe's story was somewhat more misleading. Niall actually had an idea when calling Joe. He thought about it because it felt lke Joe might’ve needed more motivation to appear.

He was called an hour prior to Demi. Niall had gotten his number from one of the producers, it was lucky Joe answered. And he didn't seem cranky at all, which made Niall think that Demi might’ve felt the same way. Of course, that was a bad move on Niall’s part.

"Hello? Sorry, were you sleeping?"

"Nah, it's alright. You're name's Niall, right?" Joe said, he recognized Niall’s Irish accent, and just needed confirmation.

"Yeah! The lads and I are thinking of doing collaboration with you! So could you meet me at xxxxx tomorrow at 9:00 AM?"

"Sure. That's a restaurant that's pretty close to where I am."

"Cool, see you there!"
