By the time the food had come out to us in the Pub, I feel that I had gotten to know the guys quite well. And they had gotten to know me and Luca too.

I had taken a seat between Luca and Louis; Louis had his arm on the back of my chair, and a beer in his other hand laughing at something that I had said.

“You know what?” Louis said looking at me, “we should really get together. I’m not talking about during rehearsals or any of that shit so you can meet Eleanor. You’ll love her.”

I laughed and nodded, “That would be great, Louis! Is she coming on tour?”

He shook his head, “No, she’s got schooling, I wish she would though. Maybe for a couple shows.”

I nodded in understanding, “What about you, Mika? Got a bloke that’ll be coming to the shows?” Harry asked from across the table.

I laughed and shook my head, “No no, not for me. I’ve got too many things going on right now.”

“Thata girl,” Simon said from next to Luca.

“Really though, you don’t have a guy?” Zayn asked.

I shrugged, “No. I mean, in the past? Yeah, but not now. I’m too busy, man.”

Zayn nodded, “Pez and I make it work. It’s hard, yeah, but I love her. And I wouldn’t want to be with someone else.”

I smiled at him, “Well Perrie sounds really nice, I’m excited to eventually meet her.”

Perrie was Zayn’s girlfriend, they had been together for a little bit and she was part of the girl group Little
Mix. A group that I hadn’t heard of prior to meeting the guys, but I would have to download their music ASAP.

“Well everyone, it’s been great, but I must be off,” Simon said handing the signed receipt back to the waitress.

I stood up to say bye to him, “Thank-you so much for the food, and I’m sorry we had to switch restaurant,” I
said while I hugged him.

He laughed and we pulled apart, “Not to worry, I suppose it was a bit much.”

“Just a touch,” I said with a smile.

Simon went around to the guys and shook their hands before walking out.

"Well," Liam started after finishing off the rest of his beer, "I don't know about the rest of you, but I need to get back home. Mum's having friends over."

Louis nodded, "Me too, El should be getting home now."

I stood up when they did, "It was so nice to meet you both," I began as Louis pulled me into a hug.

"Lovely to meet you, Mika, this tour is going to be amazing!" Louis said before he pulled away from me,
and went to shake Luca's hand.

"Hey, give me your number, I'm gonna put it into my phone, alright?" Harry asked coming over to me.

I nodded, "Yeah for sure, I mean, we're going to need to eventually right?"


He smiled at me, "Exactly," he said as he pulled out his iPhone and set it up for a new contact, "What
is it?"

I recited my number to him and he typed it in. he nodded when he saved it.

"I have to get going too, but I’ll text you, yeah?" he said pulling me into a hug.

I nodded into the hug, "Yeah, sounds great!"

He pulled away from me and smiled, "I'm excited that you're gonna be on this tour. It's going to be loads of
fun, you're gonna be great."

I smiled, “Thank-you."

He turned away from me when Zayn and Niall came over, "We're heading out too, Nialler has to give me a ride home, my car's in the shop."

I nodded and smiled, "It was so nice to meet you both, thank-you for wanting me on this tour, I mean, it's such a dream come true.”

Zayn gave me a one armed hug briefly before pulling away to say good bye to Luca.

Niall smiled at me, "Talk soon, yeah? It was great meeting you. This tour is gonna be a blast=t."

I smiled back at him, "I hope so!"

He pulled me into him and rested his chin on the top of my head, "It will be, Mik. Thank-you for agreeing to do this tour as well."

"No no, thank-you for asking in the first place, honestly. That means so much to me," I said as we pulled
apart.

He smiled at me once more, "See you around," he said before going to the front door with the other guys.

I looked over to Luca and smiled, "Ready to go back to the hotel?" He asked.

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm a bit tired now. Jet lag has gotten me I think," I said as I linked my arm with his
and headed to the front door.

Luca opened it for me and we saw the crowd of fans and paps taking pictures of the boys. The fans were screaming for them and the boys were moving along quickly trying to sign as many things as
they could.

I smiled and pulled my sunglasses down before Luca and I made our way around the group. No one even bothered to look over at us.

The walk back to the hotel was quick, the doorman open the glass door for us with a smile and nod. We got into the elevator and hit the button marked '24.' The ride was quick and silent between us. I unlocked the room door for us and went in. I put my purse on the couch and sat down.

"Mom and dad will probably wanna Skype soon," Luca said as he walked to his room.

I nodded absently as I grabbed the remote and turned the television on. Luca came out a moment later with the laptop and put it on the coffee table in front of us and signed into Skype. I took my shoes off and put them beside the couch; I settled on the ID channel and sat back into the couch.

We were silent for a minute before Luca looked over at me and nudged me with his elbow, "Room service?"

I nodded once, "Room service," I confirmed with a smirk.

He stood up and grabbed the menu that was on the table next to the door and sat back beside me.

"Is it bad that we're going to eat again when we just left a pub?" he mused as he flipped the menu over
to the back page.

I shrugged and shook my head, "Nope, food is food. We like food. Hence...we should order room service."

Luca laughed at me, "True."

I stood up, "Gonna get changed, I'm feeling like I want fries. Chips. With vinegar, lots of vinegar," I said as I started making my way to my room.

Luca made a gagging sound behind me, "God, you and your vinegar."

I smiled to myself and closed the door behind me. I got undressed and changed quickly into sweatpants, a baggy 'Batman' t-shirt and thick socks. I walked back into the living room area where Luca was lounging on the couch, still watching the ID channel.

"Food should be here soon," he said, not taking his eyes off the screen.

I nodded and collapsed beside him, he looked over at me, "Sweatpants?" he asked.

"Sweatpants are life. I would have gonna in sweatpants today, but you, manners," I said while grabbing my phone off the coffee table.

He laughed and stood up, "I'm gonna change," he told me before getting up and walking away, back to his
own room.

I pressed the lock button on the top of my phone and saw that I had a message from an unknown name, I slide and unlocked my phone and checked the message, figuring it was just from Harry.

Hope ya don't mind I stole your number from Harry

I bit my lip in confusion, which one of them was it then?

No worries! Huh, who is this then??

I saw that the other person was typing a message back to me.

Niall! Sorry, shoulda told ya that to begin with, yeah?

I laughed to myself, he was too adorable.

Hey Niall! And that's alright!

He replied almost instantly again.

What are you doin??

Waiting for room service lol. Just ate and now we're eating again.

Ahh, a girl after me own heart.

I laughed out loud as Luca came back out and sat beside me. He looked at my phone screen to see who it was.

"Niall?" he asked noticing that he said his name in the text.

I nodded and smiled at the new text.

It was great meetin ya today! It's gonna be a great tour! So happy you’re gonna be there for the ride!

I hope so! Thanks again to you and the guys who wanted me out on there!

Aye, you're the only one I wanted to open this tour! Knew you'd be perfect for it!!

I smiled at the text message before replying to it. I knock came to the door and Luca answered it, the gentleman brought rolled the food into the room and placed everything onto the table. I smiled and thanked him before he left.

Luca lifted the lids off of the plates and brought over my plate of fries and the bottle of vinegar they sent
up to me as well. I opened the bottle of vinegar and poured some onto my fries and placed the bottle back onto the coffee table as Luca sat back down.

"I can literally smell the vinegar, you used so much," he said with a look of semi-disgust on his face.

I laughed and shoved a couple fries into my mouth "Good thing you're not eating them, eh?" I asked with my mouth full.

He rolled his eyes and smiled, "You're gross."

I smiled and laughed, “Love you too!” I told him, tossing a single fry at him.
