I can’t exactly believe I actually accepted.
I could lose my job for this.
What was I thinking?
“Quit overthinking it, Evelina,” Angelina said.
“I really can’t help it, Ang. I could lose my job over this!”
“Sometimes, you have to take risks for love.”
“This isn’t love. At least not yet.”
“Oh, come on, Eve.”
“Either shut up and help me pick out an outfit or shut up and leave.”
“Geez, so harsh,” she said, standing up and walking to my closet.
I honestly had no clue what to wear and when I asked Niall how I should dress he said to be myself, but no dresses or heels.
That put me exactly where I’m at now.
Confused with a closet with a floor full of clothes.
Knowing my sister was in town for a small break, I called her up. She usually lives in Auburn, Alabama and goes to the university there. She swore she would never move there, claiming the winters are too cold and the summers are too hot and that the humidity makes having perfect hair impossible, but I can tell she is falling in love with it.
“Aha!” I hear her yell.
“That can never be good,” I mumbled.
She handed me an outfit that actually looked fabulous with flats.
It was a red, native looking romper that tied around my neck and ended a little past my butt. It was a little short, but was extremely comfortable and kind of made me feel my age.
I kicked her out of my closet and put it on, smiling at myself. My hair and make-up was done before I went outfit looking, knowing that make-up would get on my clothes. My hair was braided into a messy half-bun before being left in my natural waves.
I haven’t been on a date since my husband’s death, so this was extremely odd.
I still wore a chain around my neck that had my engagement ring, my wedding band, and his wedding band. It was the only piece of him I had left, besides pictures of course.
We never took many pictures of us together.
Once I was completely ready and double checked to make sure I was ready, I heard a knock on the door.
Niall.
I ran to the door, calming down before casually opening the door.
What I saw made me scream.
"You're-you're here!" I yelled, jumping into my brother's arms.
I hugged him as tightly as possible, until I heard a car door shut.
"How long are you here for?"
"Two weeks."
"Good because tonight, I have a date," I winked.
"Really?"
"Yeah. I feel it's time. He would want my happiness and I told him everything."
As if on cue, I saw Niall walk up and I realized that Niall had no clue I had a brother. He saw me, still in my brother's arms, which looked bad.
"Uh oh."
"What?"
"Coop, let me down," I whispered.
Coop did as I asked and turned around.
"You must be my sister's date," Coop said.
I rolled my eyes and tried to push him in the house.
"Wesley! Uncle Coop is here!" I yelled.
"Uncle Coop!" Wesley yelled.
Cooper looked behind him and smiled.
"Wesley!" he yelled, letting him run in his arms and spinning him around.
I smiled.
"Wesley, you have fun with Uncle Coop. Momma will be home soon okay. You better be asleep when I get back. If not, you will not see Uncle Coop for a whole day."
Wesley's eyes widened. Wesley met and remembered his Uncle Cooper two years ago, when he was two. He had met him at his first Christmas, and hasn't been home for Christmas ever since, but has come home a few times before that.
I left with Niall.
"So, your brother," Niall said.
I laughed.
"Don't worry about him. He is in the Marine Corp. He is rarely home."
Niall stopped backing out.
"Why would you even think about coming with me then?"
"He's gonna be home for two weeks. Besides, Ang is going back to school tomorrow. I'll get to spend a lot more time with him than she does."
"So, are we having practice tomorrow?"
I smiled and shook my head.
"Yeah, we're just having a late one. We can't miss a day."
"I heard you tell your brother that you told your husband."
"Um. Yeah," I said, playing with the rings.
"So, are you ready for this?" he asked, thankfully changing the discussion.
"What are we doing, by the way?"
"You'll see," he winked.
After about 30 minutes of driving, I was shocked to pull up to an arena.
"Who are we seeing?"
"You'll see. First, we better hurry before we are seen."
We jumped up and went up to a security guard.
He must have recognized Niall because he immediately let us in to the gate he was guarding. We were escorted to a building and down some halls. The guard left us and Niall opened the door.
"Eveli, meet 5 Sauce."
My mouth dropped as I saw the two of the four amazing, extremely attractive, Australian boys.
"I thought she didn't get starstruck?" Ashton asked.
"She didn't for me."
I then snapped out of it.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting this. Had no time for mental preparation."
They all laughed.
"So, I take it you're a fan?"
"That's a understatement. Wesley and Ang are gonna be pissed."
Niall laughed and the boys looked at him with worry.
"Guys, Wesley is her son. Angelina is her twin sister."
The air then lightened as I showed off my son and we goofed off. We were escorted to our seats when the boys were told to go get ready, as the stage set-up was beginning.
We followed the guards and I took out my phone, thankful I had charge it.
I took a snapchat of the stage and sent it to Ang and Cooper with the caption of 'just met them. Fangirl to you when I get home
I put my phone away until the pink Sounds Live Feels Live came on the stage, making me want to scream so badly.
"I brought you here to have fun. Scream as loud and as much as possible."
I then started screaming for a little bit.
After about 5 minutes of waiting and the same commercial five times, the lights went out, making me scream.
They started Carry On, which led into Hey Everybody.
Niall was also singing and jumping along.
Then, they started playing Vapor.
Niall wrapped his arms around my waist and we swayed side to side before Niall turned me around, making our chests meet.
He put my arms around his neck and kept his around my waist. We then just swayed as we looked at each other with a smile, only seeing some features due to the occasional flash of light.
The song ended right as Niall pressed his lips against mine. It started off slow, his smooth lips against my own.
Somewhere in the kiss, I was pushed against the wall of the box, which is when Niall pulled away.
"Sorry, I got a little carried away," Niall blushed.
That gave me the courage to kiss him again, just to get that feeling again.
That feeling that I have only ever gotten with one other person.
Nicholas Andrew Sutter, my late husband.
The concert continued on and following the encore, we were escorted back to the boys' dressing room.
Niall gave all of them a sweaty hug.
"Oh. Who is this, Niall?" Michael asked.
"Mikey, this is Evelina. She's a, um, friend."
Michael immediately caught on and smiled, opening his arms.
"You are definitely something special, Evelina," Michael whispered into my ear.
I smiled and pulled away.
"Sick show guys."
"How much did you actually see of it?" Michael winked.
"Ha ha. Very funny."
"Oh my goodness, Niall. It's 12 o'clock in the morning. We have practice in the morning."
"Wait. She's your dance partner?"
"Not the one y'all saw last week. That was Emily. Huge, extremely slutty One Direction fan."
They all laughed and nodded.
Suddenly, a girl entered the dressing room and I saw Luke's smile brightened.
"Hey, Niall! How is the dancing going?"
"Hey, Aryzalea. It's going good."
Luke walked over to her and we all turned our heads as they left the room.
"Alright, well I hope to see you all soon. You can stop by practice at anytime, but we really must be going. I'm sure Cooper is waiting up for me and he will kill Niall if he doesn't have me home at a reasonable time."
"Who is Cooper?"
"Oh. He's my brother that is home for a few weeks from Afghanistan."
"Oh, yeah, Niall. We'll stop by practice one day before we finish off the rest of the tour."
"Alright, guys. Just let me know when you are stopping by."
"Will do."
We then left and made the 30 minute drive home.
By the time we got to my house it was 2 o'clock in the morning and I saw the porch light flick on as we pulled up.
"I had a really great time tonight," I said as we walked to my front door.
"Me too."
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow at practice."
"Definitely."
Right as I stuck the key into the lock, Niall grabbed my free wrist and pulled me to him, kissing with just as much passion as there was at the concert.
We pulled away sooner, Niall giving me a quick peck that made me long for more.
"I'll see you at practice."
With that he walked off and I finished opening the door.
As soon as it clicked shut, I leaned against it with a shit-eating grin on my face.
"I take it that the date went good."
"Best one in a long time."

Notes

Here is her outfit!
Also, I based this concert off the one I attended. :) I know, the boys have not gone to The Forum in Inglewood, California yet.
Please give me some feedback. Last chapter I was super sad when I got on and literally nothing had happened...
Anyways! Sorry it took so long to update. My Word is wigging out and I can't get it fixed, so I had to write everything on here.
Feedback makes me want to write more so leave a comment down below and let me know what your beautiful brains are thinking! Are y'all excited that they FINALLY went on their first date?! Also, their little sober make-out sesh in the box? Let me know what you think! :)
