Fake dating

- Clair's POV -

We entered the house. Simon, a bodyguard and management were sitting and waiting of us.

"Clair, love. We have great news!" Simon announced and giving me a hug.

I've just been in the hospital and he doesn't even care. He motioned for all of us to sit down.

"We have noticed all the hate you've been getting lately, because the press and the fans think you might be dating one of the boys. So management came with a solution. You are going to be dating Jamie Campbell." He announced.

I almost choked on my tongue.

"What?" I said.My eyes were probably so wide they almost popped out of my head.

"We are thinking that it might help with your reputation and john here is your bodyguard. It will not be discussed and you are just gonna have to deal with it. It's for your own good."

I just nodded and looked at the boys. Daniel looked hurt. A mix between sadness, jealousy and anger was in his eyes. Jai patted him on the back.

"And also," Simon started "We have security cameras in the house and we heard you sing."

Oh god. I'm pretty sure my eyes popped out now.

"We have set up a meeting with the wanted and you are going to make a collaboration with them."

"No, no, nah ah." I shook my head furiously.

"Clair, you just have to obey and that's final. We are heading back to the office now, Jessica is a stylist and she'll be over in five minutes, to get you ready for you date with Jamie at 7 p.m. He's gonna pick you up and the meeting with the wanted is tomorrow. See you all tomorrow."

And with that they left. Are you kidding me? I didn't ask for this. Why do they have to control my life. Clair calm yourself down. All the boys were quiet. I cleared my throat to break the silence.

"Well I'm fake dating Jamie Campbell, but I have a question... Who is Jamie Campbell?" I asked.

"He's an actor, and he's a douche." Daniel said while clenching his fists.

What is going on? Is Daniel jealous or something. We were interrupted by a knock on the door. I opened it and a tall woman with beautiful blonde hair stood there smiling.

"Hi, I'm Jessica you must be Clair." She said.

"Yes I am." I went for a handshake but she gave me a hug. I was taken back at first but then I hugged back. I can't be scared for the rest of my life.

"Come in." I said.

"Hey boys." She greeted them politely.

They just mumbled heys and hellos.

"Well I better get you ready for your special date tonight." She said and winked at me.

She grabbed my arm and terror went through me. The boys shot up from the couch they kinda figured out by now that I didn't liked being touched by anyone. Jessica looked confused.

"Oh, uhm. I thought I saw a spider, sorry false alarm." I said. Nice save Clair!

"Okay let's go!" Jessica squealed.

I think she might be more excited for this date than I am.

She did my make up and gave picked an outfit for me since I had no idea what I was doing. She picked some high heels in black.

We went back downstairs. I didn't wear the heels just yet. First of all I don't know how girls can even walk in them, and second I'm not going out just yet.

I missed the last step and almost face planted but Jessica has some quick reflects. I gotta give her that. I looked at the boys and they all breathed out in relief. I did too.

"You look hot." Harry said. Which earned a smack in the back of the head by Liam an Louis.

I could feel the heat forming in my cheeks. Oh god I'm blushing.

"What he meant to say was you look beautiful." Liam said.

"Thank you, but I think I look more like a human Barbie doll." I said.

They all laughed.

"No, you look great." Jessica reassured.

"But is the heels really necessary?"

"Yes, now go try them on." She demanded.

I sighed and put them on. And stood still for a few minutes. Jessica stared at me.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You are supposed to walk in them."

"I feel safer standing still."

"Ahh come on, it can't be that bad."

"Fine."

I took one step after another, and it went great.

"Hey this is not that hard." Guess what? I spoke to soon.

I slipped and almost face planted. I pushed myself up as fast as I could so it looked like nothing happened.

"That didn't happen." I said and pointed at all of them.

They choked back their laughs.A car honked from outside.

"He's here!" Jessica jumped and clapped. I sighed. I got up and and said goodbye to all of them.

"Clair, we are going out and I don't exactly now when we'll be home." Brad said.

"Oh yeah, I'll text you when I'm home don't worry about me, have fun!" I said.

"You too!" They all chorused.

"Yeah don't ever do that again that's creepy."

They laughed and waved. I walked outside and Jamie got out of the limo to introduce himself, so did I. The place was already swarming with paparazzi, so Jamie wanted to make it look real. He smashed his lips onto mine. I can't even begin to tell you how much I wanted to slap him right there. He stole my first real kiss. But then again, we are supposed to be dating.

We got in the limo and headed to a really fancy restaurant. Oh damn. I completely forgot about my little eating problem. What am I going to do? An idea flashed through my mind and it was genius.

We entered the restaurant and were seated by the window, so it would make some good pictures for the media. We ordered our food and talked a little about ourselves. He doesn't really seem like a douche. Well I better do something about the food problem now. I excused myself to use the restroom. I secretly approached the waiter for our table.

"Excuse me? You're our waiter right?" I asked.

"Yes I am." He answered. He was quite good looking.

"I need you to do something for me." I said in a flirty way.

"A-a-anything for you miss." He stuttered. How cute.

"I need you to accidentally trip and spill all our food on me and my friend over there." I said pointing at Jamie.

"I-I-I don't know."

"Pretty please?" I started messing a little with his tie.

"Okay."

"Thank you!" I kissed his cheek.

I got back to our table and two minutes later the waiter walked towards us. I gave him a nod. He 'tripped' and spilled the food on us.

"YOU i***t!" Jamie yelled at the poor guy.

Now I know why they call him a douche. I feel bad for the guy. He kept yelling at him and I knew I had to stop him before he punched him in the face. I'm not talking about stopping Jamie. The waiter guy looked pissed. I pulled Jamie towards the exit. He walked out fast and I ran back to the waiter.

"I'm so sorry! I owe you big time!"

I gave him my number and payed him. He didn't want take the money at first but I insisted.

I ran out and the limo was gone. Great. He left without me. I walked the long way home and my heel broke. I face planted on the ground and twisted my ankle. Can this night get any worse? The answer to that is yes. It started to rain.

I finally reached the house. No one was home. I went straight to the kitchen to got some ice for my ankle. This night was worse than I expected. Suddenly the door slammed open, and in came all the boys laughing and joking until they saw me.

"What the hell happened?" Liam yelled. Here comes daddy direction.

"Funny story, actually." I nervously laughed.

I told them everything from the kiss, to the restaurant and my lonely walk home. They were really angry at Jamie. Liam took a look at my ankle, luckily it wasn't broken. Thank god. Daniel hasn't talked to me all night, and I'm a little confused about that. I'm too tired to be thinking about that right now, so I decided to take a long hot shower. I went to bed afterwards and passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow.
