The Chosen One
Nice Meeting You
Chapter 3: Nice Meeting You
Watching the rest of the show from the side stage was absolutely breathtaking. I could see a whole new side of everything. It was so intense watching the way the stage crew rushed around making sure everything was running smoothly. Not to mention, Harry was giving me winks and cheeky grins every once in a while that would simply make my heart swim.
I didn’t really understand, or feel as though this could really be happening to me. I came to this concert thinking I would leave here just watching a fantastic concert. I never would have guessed I would be pulled on stage and then actually get to talk to all of them afterwards!
The boys exited the stage, and the crowd was going wild, knowing that they just had to come back out for an encore. When they did, the stadium got even louder than I even thought it could. They sang “Live While We’re Young” and “What Makes You Beautiful.” The boys were all getting really into it. Especially Niall who was giving all the girls he possibly could extra attention for the last song. He was really cute actually.
The concert soon ended and the boys were exited the stage towards me. All I could think was ….shit, what was I going to say to them? I hadn’t even thought about that yet. Was I even going to be able to speak? Oh lord…
Louis was the first to reach me when they got off the stage. He greeted me with open arms saying, “There’s our golden girl, Madeline.” He was rather sweaty from just getting off stage when he hugged me, but I didn’t really mind too much.
Each boy took their turn giving me a damp hug, Harry being the last. The rumors were true. He really did give the best hugs. It lasted for like an actual ten seconds, although it felt like not even one.
After taking a step back from me, he oddly enough reached out his hand and said, “Well hello there Madeline, I’m Harry. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
I smiled and took his hand to shake it and replied, “Trust me. The pleasure is all mine.”
Liam looked to Harry and said, “You are such an oddball Haz.”
I gave Liam a confused look and asked, “Haz?”
Liam replied rather cheekily, “That is what I like to call our little Harold here.
I replied, “Well what a lovely nickname!”
Niall soon echoed in, “Speaking of nicknames Madeline, do you have any people call you? Madeline is a nice, but rather long name.”
I thought about it for a second and replied, “Umm… well I suppose I get called the common Maddie every once in a while.”
Harry chimed, “Well, I am going to make one up of my own then.” He made a thinking face for a bit and said, “I am going call you, Mads.”
I gave a questioning look and asked “Mads?”
He said, “Yeah, it’s short and sweet. Just like you.”
I blushed a bit and said, “Well, I like it then.”
After sort of standing around for a bit and getting to know each other a little Zayn stated that they should probably get to their dressing rooms to clean-up and change out of their stage clothes so they could get going. They all agreed, so I just awkwardly stood there for a bit, not really sure where to go. I mean, I know I should have left, but not without a picture or souvenir of something to prove that this night actually happened.
Harry noticed me standing there and said, “Come along Mads. I would like to talk to you some more. After all, I was the one who picked you. Not any of those other blokes.” He chuckled to himself. I gladly followed him into his dressing room. He said, “Make yourself comfy. I just need to freshen up in the shower quick.” He then proceeded to strip off his shirt revealing all of his incredibly sexy tattoos and walked into what I assumed was the bathroom. I heard the shower turn on and for a few minutes I was left to my thoughts, which were really hard to keep off the obvious.
He walked out, unfortunately completely dressed, wearing a simple black t-shirt and tight slacks. He looked absolutely fit. He sat next to me while we chatted about various topics. He was so interesting. I felt like I knew him for years after talking with for only about 10 minutes. What made it even better was that he seemed like listening to me and was hanging on my every word. He green eyes never left me the whole time we were talking. It was rather intense actually having someone gaze at you that intently.
After a while, Harry stood up and I copied him. He said, “So Mads, I am just going to throw this out there. Would you want to come to a party with the boys and me? I think you are so interesting, and I would like for us to get to know each other a bit more.”
I quickly asked with a laugh “A happening party with One Direction…in Ohio?” He brushed his hair back with his hand and replied, “Yeah, the party just kind of follows us I suppose.”
I thought about the shuttle bus I needed to take back home at midnight. It was already 11:00 PM, but honestly, this was a once in a life time opportunity to party with One Direction, how could I pass that up, even if it was only for an hour. I smiled at him cheekily and said, “I’d love to” and we walked out the door to meet the other boys.
