Love & The City

"So... Niall Horan from One Direction, why were you rambling all alone through the streets of New York City? Except for the nosy paparazzi of course" I ask with a wink.
"Oh, you do know who I am, I was wondering..." he laughs "I wanted to go for a walk in Central Park, to get away from things. Turns out my orientation is fucked up though. I was so annoyed, people kept coming to when I just wanted to be alone. Thankyou for getting me out of all that." He looks directly into my eyes "Wow, I'm being incredibly rude, just ranting on about me and my problems without even asking for your name! What is it?"
"Sophie" I mumble, intimidated by his honesty but also fighting the urge to ask what it was that upset him in the first place making him want to 'get away from things'.
Luckily a girl pats Niall on the back shyly and asks "Uhm, excuse me, but... Are you Niall Horan?"
"Yes, that's me" he merely confirms.
"Oh wow! I'm such a huge fan. Could I maybe get a picture?" She is obviously extremely excited, but trying to hide it, acting all cool.
That's exactly what I am doing, too. I hope Niall can't read me as easily as I can see through her. But he's probably used to people, trying to act normal around him... and to people completely loosing their minds. How stressful it must be, to never be able to simply cross the street without people looking at you, screaming, doing whatever. To be honest, that's one of the things I really enjoy about: Nobody knows you. In the village I come from, everybody knows everyone and you couldn't invite a boy over without everyone knowing and talking about it the next day. I guess that's kind of how things are for Niall, but he cannot hide anywhere and has to do more than greet everyone he meets politely.
While I was lost in my thoughts again, Niall told the girl that of course she could have a picture with him and she thanks him what feels like a thousand times as she rummages in her duffle bag for her phone.
"I can take it" I offer and she finally found it.
"Thanks" she warmly smiles and hands me her phone. I notice the large 1D emblem on her case.
After taking their picture and a few spare ones I hold the phone out to her again. She takes it and adresses Niall and me "Thankyou so very much!" She hesitates, probably unsure what to do. I guess she doesn't want to get away from her idol just yet. "I, erm, don't mean to be rude, but...are you two...a thing?" she asks curiously.
"No." I reply immediately, flabbergasted. "We just met." Niall adds, seemingly more calm than me.
"Oh, well...Have a nice day then." She blushes, embarassed about having jumped to conclusions but there's one thing she can't hold in "I really dig your shirt" she compliments Niall and walks off.
I look at him who's wearing a surprised expression I can't help but burst out into laughter about. "I didn't even think about that anymore"
"Me neither" he joins my laughing.
"Oh no, know she has a picture of you not all dressed up with make-up and whatever" I stick out my tongue.
"Hey, that's just for some interviews and stuff like that. I don't wear make-up everyday" he says pouting "Also, it's never that much. Just a bit, so I don't look like a lifeless ghost in floodlight"

Notes

Sorry for the stupid ending. I just didn't know what one could answer to that ^^
Comment, if you have any idea. Also comment about what you liked, disliked and if you think it's just boring. I think I have to add something to this, I just don't know what yet. As I said before, it's my first fanfic ;) I hope I'll figure something out, that makes this story more worth reading. And I should really make longer chapters...
By the way, I always wanted to use the word 'flabbergasted' :D
