Chapter 47: Dress shopping

A/N: the dress Frey bought is the dress I uploaded the pic of.

FREYA'S POV -

"Get ready you slug! Niall will be here any minute." Ally shouted.

"What? I'm ready. I'm not gonna doll up just to go shopping." I rolled my eyes.

"Well, considering you're going with The Niall Horan, paps will be there and you'll have to look good." She rolled her eyes back at me.

"I don't care." My phone beeped. A text from Niall.

"What is it?" Ally said.

"Hey, I'm outside of your home right now . Let's go !" It read.

Ally ran up to the window of our room and looked outside. "Hell yeah! I think he's nervous!" She cheered. "Besides, he did confirm he loves you." She winked my way.

"Ally?" I said.

"Yeah?"

"Shut up."

"Okay." She said.

"Good. And bye. See you later." I left the house but didn't see mom anywhere downstairs, so I let it slip and opened the front door.

Boy, was I nervous to see him after all these months... Hell yeah I was. I was freaking inside but had to keep a normal façade outside. When I opened the door, I was met with a pair of blue marine eyes and blonde hair.

"Hey..." Ghost of a smile was present on Niall's face and his eyes were staring at my pair of eyes. I noticed what he was wearing. A white-grey shirt with skinny jeans, and wedge boots.

"Um, hi." I smiled first at him and he returned it back. His hands were picking themselves up for a hug but he was hesitant. I was damn hesitant to hug him so I didn't go for it. Instead, I walked over to the passenger side of the car and stood there, unsure of what to do.

"Oh, uh... Wait..." Niall unlocked his black SUV and I opened the door and placed my butt in.

The ride was awkwardly silent. Niall would look at me but quickly avert his eyes on the road. His face held no emotion yet I could trace out a hint of regret and nervousness. We pulled up to the private parking lot of mall and he killed the engine.

"I forgot to ask... Uh, would you- would you like to go for lunch afterwards?" He said, not making eye contact.

"Let's see when the shopping ends." I decided to tease him.

"A-alright. Doesn't matter." He shrugged, looking down. I felt a tad bit for him but it wasn't my fault, right?

------------

Walking in and out of shops, I couldn't find something which fits my mood or persona. I was a bit exhausted to be really honest. Niall hadn't said much except when the guy was helping me fit the small petite dress, his hands felt uncomfortable on my body, so Niall just glared at him and said "Yeah man just be a little less handy there." Other than this, he said whether the dress looked good on me or not.

"Let's try something like Gucci or YSL, yeah?" He spoke.

"No Niall, it's too expensive." I shrugged.

"Don't worry, it's on me." We stopped behind an elevator.

"Uh, no thanks." I walked in another local shop. Gotta keep it simple but bold.

"Welcome, what kind of dress are you looking for? Dressy? Or, floral? Or it could be..."

"Dressy mate." Niall interrupted the guy who was showing me the dresses.

"Alright, Mr. Horan. Right this way." The guy was sweet.

"Do you like those? I sure as hell don't." Niall whispered in my ear.

"Yeah I don't like it as well." I spoke lowly.

"It's too slutty." Niall whispered again and a smile broke on to my face.

"Slutty dresses are meant to look hot on your body, if you'd like-"

"Uh, actually we'd like to leave because there aren't any dressed which would suit my girlfriend." Why did he have to mention girlfriend?

We left the shop and stopped to look at each other. We both broke into laughing and Niall shook his head.

"Slutty dresses are meant to look good on your body..." Niall mimicked the guy and we laughed again.

After our laughing ceased down, Niall grabbed my hand which got the butterflies in my stomach to flutter, and dragged me to a Gucci store.

On second thought, butterflies?

Hell, a whole lot of zoo was let out in my tiny stomach.

"We're all wearing black and white to the Brits. Choose something according to it." He said while sitting on a comfy looking couch.

NIALL'S POV -

Watching her trying on dresses after dresses was quite a show for me. I didn't even need to bring her to a mall and buy her dresses, I just wanted to spend time with her. Earlier, when we were laughing, I felt like we've been in this together the whole time- like we never broke up, like I never left her. It felt goddamn amazing to say the least.

"Niall would you come here? I- oh!" She called out. My eyebrows furrowed and I walked towards her, who was an isle down from me.

"What's u- I, uhh..." I stopped at the sight of her in a black dress.

Jesus freaking Christ.

She's hot.

"How do I look?" She said innocently, as if she didn't know she just filled my heart with those damn feelings again.

"You look- Hot, I mean, good. Beautiful even. You look nice." I stuttered.

She smiled but frown took over her rosy lips. "But it's too expansive."

"How much is it?" I asked the lady standing by her with a smile.

"Sir, it's one of our spring collection and is from cheap category. It costs £630."

"I'm buying this." I said as quickly as I could before she denied.

"Sure. Anything else would you like? Shoes? Jwellery?" The helper smiled. She was nice.

"Babe?" The word slipped instinctively from my mouth. Her head turned towards me for calling her such a name.

"Uh, can I see jwellery?"

"Sure. Come this way."

------------

"That'd be £1050." I gave the lady my credit card and she packed away her items.

"Thank you for shopping." She smiled and we exited the door.

"Thank you so much Niall. But what about your clothes?" Freya said.

"Our clothes were ready the second they announced our nomination." I smiled a bit.

"Oh, that's good."

"Let's eat something, I'm hungry." This was another way to ask her out for lunch.

"Sure." We then left the mall and settled in my car. The amount of paps while exiting the mall were astonishing, once again.

"Where do you want to go for lunch?"

"You're asking me? I'd be happy if we go to McDonald's, don't have anything special, yanno? Makes me feel like I'm a normal girl, without paps chasing me around."

"They chase you around?" I was shocked.

"Yeah, two or three of them. It's exhausting."

"But they never post anything about you? Why do they follow you?" I turned into the parking lot of McDonald's.

"Maybe they think you're with me, or something... Else." She looked away from me.

"Or they never thought about our breakup. I get it." I nodded. She was trying to put up some sort of walls between us.

"Uh, come on, open it up." She tapped her door.

We walked in and the warm gush of air slapped our faces.

What the fuck.

This was the same fucking McDonald's we met at. Déja vú.

We ordered and chose a corner booth to sit. She sat down with a sigh.

"What's wrong?" I said.

"It's the same place we first saw each other at." She smiled. That frikin smile of hers, I swear.

"Yeah..."

Let's talk about making it awkward...

"Hey, Frey! Whatcha doing here?" A familiar tall and muscular guy with scruffy brown hair walked up to us. He stopped abrubtly, eyeing me.

"Uh, hey..." Freya smiled up awkwardly at him.

"Horan! How's it going mate?" Excuse me?

"Hey... Uh-"

"Zac." And it all came running down at me. That guy from night club...

"Yeah, right. Zac. It's all good and dandy. Fine, though." I shift uneasily at my seat. She was watching Zac constantly, eagerly.

Did I miss anything?

"Can I, uh, talk to you? As in?" Zac looked at Frey and she nodded. Standing through her seat, she looked at me, as if telling me that nothing had I missed.

"Five minutes." She said to me.

And they left for five minutes.

FREYA'S POV -

"What are you doing Zac? I'm here with Niall, I can't just ditch him."

"But you said you guys were over? I thought we went over the bullshit? I thought that-" I cut him off.

"Whatever you thought was wrong. I told you clearly that me and Niall are still together for the public." I made a poker face.

"We kissed..." His eyes were blank but a hint of sadness was visible.

"Yeah, we kissed. It happens all the time. Let's just forget about it. You know how I feel about-" now he cut me off.

"Horan. I know." He sighed. "Listen, I like you so much. I even confessed those damn feelings about you. I- I can't, not have you... You make me feel like a... A hormonal teenager." He looks down. I stifled a laugh.

"I'm so sorry Zac, but I made it pretty crystal clear that I still have feelings for Niall. Who knows, maybe we can get back together." I need to stop before I trigger something in his mood.

"You... You used me? You said you..." He couldn't finish his sentance.

"Okay maybe I did, but I was missing Niall at that time, Zac. I was hurt. You can't blame me for-"

"Bullshit." He was emotionless.

"What?"

"That is all bullshit. You can't just simply run around and kiss normal guys, just because you miss your one and only. Just because you're damn hurt. Who knows that Horan guy is just playing like last time he did?" I was getting mad, that was not my fault.

"He did not do anything. It was all my fault. I-... Let's make it clear now, Zac. I do not want to be yours or anything specific. We can be just friends because there's nothing between us." I crossed my arms against my chest.

"You can't say that! I kissed you and you kissed me back!" He whispered while backing off.

"I'm sorry but that was just a dick move of me. I'm sorry." I replied, not meeting his eyes.

In a span of two seconds, he was speed walking to our table, where Niall was sitting, typing on his phone. He did not stop while hearing my poor attempts of shouting his name in hushed whispers. I couldn't help but walk behind him, so he would not creat a scene.

"Horan."

Niall looked up from his phone to meet Zac's eyes, stunned and frowning, he replied, "Hey, Zac."

Needless to say, Zac was bigger in size than Niall, he looked so tiny against Zac.

"You know your pretty girlfriend here had done a dick move lately." Zac looked at me. I was mortified. Not this cheating bull crap again.

"Oh yeah? What that might be?" Niall's face was emotionless. Just like Zac's.

"Niall don't listen to him." I said. "Let's just get out of here. Your place,-"

"We kissed." Zac interrupted. Niall's face was shocked.

"Uh, what?" Niall asked, slowly.

"We kissed." Zac gulped. "That was her dick move. Her words, not mine."

"Babe?" Niall looked at me. Was I blushing at the nickname? Yes.

"Uh, I- I... L- lets go. I- it's getting late." I stuttered. I picked up my phone for the table and held Niall's hand, showing Zac off.

"We'll talk about this some another time, Frey." Zac said, hopefully. Hurt was purely visible on his face.

"That really was a dick move you did right there, Zac." I gritted my teeth.

Getting back into the car, I sighed audibly to get Niall's attention. He looked at me, his nostrils flaring with a bit of anger.

"Was it true?" He asked. "Did you kiss him again?"

I was instantly thrown over the edge. "What do you mean, again? That was the first time we kissed. It's not like I've been whoring around since you left me hurt." I snapped.

"Who knows. Maybe." His reply hurt more than the break up.

Okay not the break up, but it was pretty damn hurtful.
