Ready To Run

"Essie are you ready?! Its 8:30!! We have to be there at 9!"
"Yes crap I'm coming! Oh you look cute today!"
I had on high waisted skinny jeans, a crop top, and a comfy cardigan over it with some black vans.
"Do I really look okay?" I said turning to the mirror freaking out.
"Abbie chill. Its possible to look casual and cute at the same time. Geez, someone is nervous."
"You can't act like you aren't!"
"True. Okay we really need to go! Its almost time!"
We rushed to my car and headed for the venue. We pulled to the back and the guards let us through. I grabbed my bag full of everything I needed and we made our way inside.

"ZAYN!" We heard an Irish voice yell behind a door.
"Wha-- " There was a loud thud. "OW WHAT THE HELL NIALL!"
"Guys stop before you break my other arm!"
"DADDY DIRECTION HAS SPOKEN"A voice said, clearly belonging to Louis.

"He did say they were a handful." I said quietly to Essie. She just looked at me wide eyed.

"Abbie! Hey, I'm the one that spoke with you on the phone! I'm Josh, their manager!"He said pulling me into a hug.
"Oh hey! Yeah, nice to meet you! And this is Essie!" He hugged her too.
"Well, are you ladies ready to meet the boys?" Again there was another loud thud.
"Now or never!" I say with an awkward laugh escaping my lips.

We opened the door and there they were. One Direction.They all stopped to look who was there. Zayn and Louis were sitting at a counter arm wrestling, Liam was sitting on the couch trying to play a video game of some kind, and Niall was pushing around a large trash bin but what was in it was definitely not garbage. It was.... Harry?
"Uhm." I accidentally say.
"ABBIE!" Harry sung erupting from the trash bin.
"Hey, what...is going on?" I say laughing.
"You're the girl from the club! Harry couldn't stop talk-" Harry punches Niall in the stomach. "What was that for?" Harry just stood there with his hands behind his back smiling very cheekily. Damn was he adorable.
"Okay guys enough horsing around, we have so much work to do! Abbie here is going to fit you guys and all that jazz. Abbie and he friend..."
"Essie." She says quietly.
"Her friend Essie, are in charge. Don't scare them away." He waved goodbye and he was out. Just me and Essie, alone, with One Direction. There was an awkward silence until I realized I had to be the first one to speak.
"Okay well guys, I guess we better get started." I say, not being able to take my eyes off Harry, And apparently he couldn't take his off me either.

I begin to measure the boys one by one and make Essie write it all down. Harry is last. I begin measuring his arm length and such. He has this huge grin on his face.
"Something funny?" I say with a smirk.
"Nothing at all, madame."
I continue to measure and move my way down his body. I am now on my knees trying to measure his waist and leg lengths and his butt is in my face.
"Harry don't fart!" Louis shouts.
"So, liking the view?" Harry says flirtatiously.
I take the needle thats holding the measurement and lightly poke him with it.
"Ow! That hurt!" He says with disbelief.
"Oops." I shrug my shoulders. I couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, you're gonna get it!"
I slowly stand and look him in the eye. "We'll see." I say with a wink. I was not going to be one of those easily charmed girls. Even though I totally was, I wasn't going to let it show.
"Okay boys, you can continue with whatever you were doing! Essie and I are gonna get started on your wardrobe!"
Essie and I head to boutiques and stores and shop till around 7pm! Our legs hurt so bad! As soon as we made it back to the boys we fell over on the couch.
"You're finally back!" Harry said. "So many bags!"
"That's only half of them! So, while we take a quick nap, y'all are gonna go through all of this and pick out what you like most and we'll go from there, cool?"
"Cool!" They all said in unison. Essie was already asleep when I made it back to the couch. I won't sleep that long, just for a few minutes.


"Harry, you're gonna wake her up." I heard someone whisper.
"Shh, no I won't."
"Guys, y'all are gonna piss her off." It was a Essie's voice.
Was I dreaming? I decided to wake up. But when i began to rub my eyes, I felt something smear across my face.
"What the fuck?" I realize its shaving cream. "Oh my god, really?!"
The room filled with laughter. I look around and see Harry with the can of shaving cream. "WHY!?"
Harry quickly throws the can behind him. "I didn't do it!"
"You are SO going to pay." with that, I jump and chase him around the room and down the hall. But he disappeared. Where the hell did he go? Then all of the sudden I'm lifted off of the ground and thrown over someone's back. "HARRY PUT ME DOWN!!" I scream into a fit of laughter.
"This isn't Harry!" He yells while running, still with me over his back.
"Yes it is! I would recognize that butt anywhere!" He put me down, finally.
"Oh, really? So you did like the view?" He said with an evil grin.
I walk towards him, so close to where I'm inches away from his face, his lips. I keep eye contact with him for a second. Then I take a handful of the shaving cream and smear it all over his face. Oh no, I shouldn't have done that. I let out a scream as soon as I see him about to grab me and I sprint back to the room but before I make it back he reaches and picks me up bridal style and carries me to the room.
"Okay love birds, Josh is mad and wants us to get back to work." Liam says.
"Now I know why you call him Daddy Direction." I said quietly to Harry as he puts me down.

After I get cleaned up I head back to them and make them try everything on. Everything looks great!
"Okay guys, I'm gonna need to snap some photos."
I pull Harry to the wall. "Now Harry, just do a "Charming Harry Styles" pose for me." He poses usually how he does for pictures but right when I snap the picture he quickly makes this really sassy pose with a hand on his hip. I burst into laughter with everyone else. He does this several times.
"Harry, please!" I beg, still laughing.
"Okay Okay, I'm sorry!" He says. He gets back into the normal pose, but again, he changes into a goofy pose right when I take the picture.
"Oh my gaaaawd." I groan.
Eventually, after fighting with Harry for about 10 minutes, I finally get the shot.

"Goonight ladies!" All the boys say when we tell them we're going home.
"Night guys, see you tomorrow. Harry where's Essie?"
"Being friendly with Niall." I look over and there is Essie, obviously flirting with Niall.
"Essie, we kind of, sort of need to go."
"Okay one sec!"
I roll my eyes laughing and turn back to Harry.
"It was nice seeing you again. I'm glad you're gonna be with us for the next few months."
"So am I. Thank you so much."
"Thank you." He says with a smile and kisses my cheek. I begin to blush. Like really blush! He laughs and then walks back towards the stage so they can finish rehearsing.
"I seen that." Essie whispers in my ear smiling real big.
