Nothing's Certain At The Start (A McFly Fan Fiction)

Chapter Ten

As Tom and I walked out of the studio, I watched as Danny pulled up in his car.

"What took you two so long?" Danny asked chuckling.

Tom and I looked at each other horrified. 

"Nothing!" I said.

Tom blushed profusely and rubbed his shoulder.

We stood there in complete silence.

"C'mon, butty, we haven't got all afternoon for ya to stare at Del, now do we?" Danny said.

Tom turned a bright shade of red. 

This is getting really awkward minute by minute...

I opened the car door and sat next to Dougie.

"Bloop." 

I checked my phone for messages.

I had a DM on twitter. 

'@dougiemcfly: @DelilahMyersMusic what's going on with you two?' 

I gulped. 

"Really Dougie, really?" I said.

Harry looked confused.

Dougie just gave me a mischievous grin. 

'@DelilahMyersMusic: @dougiemcfly I told you, nothing! I was just packing up my things. so nosey.' 

"Where are we going? I'm starving." Harry said rubbing his belly.

"LET'S GO TO NANDO'S!" Dougie said like a little kid.

"What on earth is Nando's?" I asked.

The boys gasped.

"You've never had Nando's?" Tom asked in shock.

"No. I've never heard of it. I don't even think there are any Nando's in America." I said.

"Oh, you haven't lived yet then." Tom stated.

"Well, I guess i'm going to live today then." I said smiling back.

'Bloop.' I heard from my phone again. 

I looked at my mentions to find this:

'@dougiemcfly: @DelilahMyersMusic is an awful liar. and she's never had Nando's. Poor girl. :( '

I just looked at Dougie and rolled my eyes.

15 minutes later: 

"Looks like we're here." Danny said.  

I hopped out of the car and stumbled onto the sidewalk, nearly falling until an arm caught me.

"You okay?" 

It was Tom.

"Yeah, just a bit clumsy.

"We've noticed." Harry said laughing.

"Shut it, Judd." I said pushing his shoulder. 

"ow." He said faking being hurt.

"Shh. I'll make it better." Said Dougie kissing his shoulder. 

"You two are so strange." I said to both of them.

I looked over to my right to see Tom. I caught him staring at me, but he immediately turned away.

Why was he acting so odd around me?

"Table for five." Danny said to the hostess as we waited for a table. 

We proceeded to sit down, in which I ended up on the opposite end of the table, facing Tom.

This was going to be uncomfortable. 

After a few minutes of ordering, Danny talked about the ball.

"So, do we have more details about the ball?" Danny asked.

"Fletch said that it's tomorrow and eight and we need to eat ahead of time, just basics. and obviously make sure we wear formal wear." Tom said. 

Formal wear?

Does a sundress count?

"Well, I have a bit of a problem then." I stated.

"still haven't found a date?" Danny asked giggling a bit.

"I have someone in mind." I said as I looked at Tom. 

I didn't want them to know just yet. 

"How about you, butty?" Danny asked Tom.

"Same." He said trying to look confident in his answer.

"So, if you have someone in mind, what's your real problem?" Asked Harry.

"Well, I don't really own any formal wear." I confessed.

"Really? Nothing?" Danny asked me.

"Not really." I only packed practical  things when I moved here. 

"Well, we can fix that." He said smirking.

"and just how do you propose we do that?"

"We can help you find a dress!" He said.

"No way." 

"aw, c'mon. Why not?"

I could see this all going awry in my head. Oh the horror of bringing all of them into a girls store.

"I don't picture a good time as going dress shopping with my male band mates." I said.

I frowned a bit.

Who would I go with?  I'm not good at shopping on my own.

"I could ask my girlfriend to go with you. She loves that kind of stuff." Dougie told me.

"Really?" I said with my eyes widening.

"Yeah, I'll ask her. I'm sure she'd be happy to." Dougie said.

"Then it's settled." Danny said.

"We'll be picking you up at about six thirty tomorrow at your flat. With your date." He said.

I immediately panicked.

What am I suppose to do if my date is suppose to be in  the car already?! 

I looked over at Tom, who looked just as perplexed as me.

"Thomas. Our food's here." Danny said laughing and muttering something under his breathe. 

"Bloop." 

'@tommcfly: @DelilahMyersMusic We need to talk. Meet me after lunch?'

I nodded in agreement. 

But I wasn't exactly sure what was going on....
