The Blind Date

Chapter 7

Paulina's P.O.V

The smell of fresh blueberry pancakes made it's way to my nose, pulling me out of sleep. I noticed I was the only one still in the living room. I guess everyone woke up and didn't wake me up?

I made my way to the kitchen hearing music and laughter. Harry was at the stove flipping pancakes; he always was the cook. Everyone else was at the table waiting patiently for their food when they saw me walk in.

"Hey sleeping beauty!" Yesenia said getting up to bring me a chair to sit down. "I was going to wake you, but you seemed so tired that I decided on letting you sleep."

"Thanks, I was tired." I sat down at the table picking at my finger nails. "So are we doing anything special today?" I wanted to know if they had any plans because I certainly didn't.

Everyone looked at themselves nervously. The flipping of Harry's pancakes was all that could be heard. Bryanna finally broke the silence by speaking up.

"We have something to tell you Paul." Bryanna confessed. I don't know why her and Yesenia started calling me that. It's not like it's an attractive nickname, but I let it slide because I love them.

"What is it?" It can't be that bad, there's not much worse that can happen to me.

"Well first we're all going out to dinner today." Harry then came in setting two pancakes for each of us, before he sat next to Yesenia. "Okay? What's so bad about us going to dinner that you're nervous about telling me?" I don't understand why she's so nervous.

"We're setting you up with someone!" Harry shouted not being able to keep it in any longer.

"What?!" I shot back. What the fuck? They're setting me up with someone? It hasn't even been a week since Sebastian cheated on me and they're suggesting I go on a blind date?

"Paulina it could be good for you! He's amazing and he's one of my best mates! Harry pleaded. "Harry you barely fucking know me! You might be dating my best friend but that doesn't mean I have to listen to you! I couldn't see anything but red, I'm so fucking pissed.

"Paulina stop being such a bitch! You're going on the date end of discussion, you'll thank us later! Yesenia said looking directly in my eyes. She always was the strong one.

I got up from my chair and made my way to the living room to get my things. They can't make me go on a date I don't want to go to. "The hell I am." I muttered to myself picking up my bag.

I walked out slamming the door, when I was half way down the driveway I heard the door swing open behind me. Not caring who it was I didn't turn around.

"Paulina!" Niall shouted to get my attention. I turned around just because it was him. He walked down the driveway with his hands in his pockets. "Paulina, I know you're mad but-

"Mad?! Are you fucking kidding me Niall? They can't make me go somewhere I don't want to go!" I sighed in anger and frustration. I'm not ready to start "dating" again.

"Paulina it's one night okay, Haz says he's a really good guy. Just give him a chance for me?" He put on his famous puppy dog face that always makes me cave. That asshole.

"Fine! What time are we going?" I can't believe I'm actually agreeing to this. "Idk I'll text you with the details later, and stop being such a grump!" He laughed walking back into the house.

I drove back to my house not being able to comprehend that I'm going on a date tonight? What if he's a complete jerk? I won't be able to handle that, I don't think I'm ready for this. My feet carried me to the bathroom to take a hot shower. I stripped off my clothes and stepped in. The hot water helped my stress a little. I got out wrapping a towel around my body, when I heard my phone buzz on the counter. It was a text message from Niall.
