An Unexpected Meeting
Laters Baby
(Niall's P.O.V)
At the O2 arena, backstage: 17:45 (an hour and a half before the show is due to start, 15 minutes before Caroline is due to show up).
"And she had green eyes, you all know how much I love the colour green" I almost shout through my excitement to the boys. It's almost time, I hadn't realised how much I wanted to see her again. I'm nervous and that alone is ridiculous, I spend night after night on stage in arena's around the world, but when it comes to the mysterious Caroline I totally lose it.
"You sound pretty smitten to me" Louis laughs. I love that guy, he can read me like a book.
"Awe, our Nialler is growing up and falling in love" Harry pipes in making kissy faces. What a joker.
"Shut up, can we all just play it cool this evening. None of the 'oh Caroline, so when do you think you two will be getting married?' shit, can't deal with that right now." I joke back, already knowing they've all promised to be on their best behaviour, it's not everyday I bring a girl to the show. In fact, it's never happened before, first time for everything I suppose.
Our conversation is silenced by the sound of a pair of heels walking down the laminate flooring outside our chill out room. She's here, this is it. I stride to the door, hand on handle and turn to the guys and give them my nervous smile.
Caroline's P.O.V (roughly 45 minutes previous).
After a long few hours of transformation I'm finished. I'm dressed in the new deep green midi dress I brought earlier paired with my new killer Geiger heels and a black clutch. I adopted the curly hair look, and grabbed my reddest lipstick for the 45 minute journey in rush hour London. My hotel had called me a taxi and the little black London cab was waiting for me outside and 17:00 on the dot. I could get used to how efficiant London life was.
"To the London O2 Arena please" I muttered whilst I readjusted my dress upon clambering into the cab. 5 inch heels and cabs do not mix well. The further towards the arena my taxi took me, the more my nerves rised. What was I doing, I should have never accepted his offer. I can't do this!
After a great deal of deliberation as to whether or not I ask the taxi to turn back, I decide getting a grip is my best option. I re-apply my matte red lipstick in my handheld mirror just as we arrive. This is it. I thank my driver and head for the backstage door I was instructed to enter by. It takes me a good 5 minutes to pluck the courage to knock, but I'm soon whisked through the maze of the arena, with the member of security I met earlier. My heels are making the most irritating tappy noise on the laminated flooring so anyone could hear me a mile off.
I'm left at a door and compose myself before knocking...
Almost instantly the beautiful blonde Irish opens the door and flashes me that smile.
"Caroline, come in" he beams, then glances at my dress and something flashes across his face, but before I can understand it, it's gone. He again leans forward and leaves a peck on my cheek. It's not until then that I notice all the other boys just staring with the biggest grins I've seen in my life.
"Guys, this is Caroline" the beauty introduces, with that all four of the boys jump up and start buzzing around me.
"So you're the girl that's got our Nialler all shy, I'm Harry, but you can call me Hazza. By the way, nice GREEN dress" Harry playfully winks and moves to let the others do the same. The emphasism on my green dress confuses me, but I have no time to think about it as the remaining three boys descend on me.
After all the not-so-awkward introductions have finished we all head for the most luxurious seats I've ever seen. The boys all pile onto the two sofa's leaving a loveseat type thing for me a Niall. Well that was definitely intentional, but we take our loveseat none the less. The 20Q I recieved earlier is introduced again in the form of Zayn, Liam, Louis and Harry and unlike Niall these boys don't hold back. Before I know I'm confession my love for the band in the coolest way I can manage, which as it turns out isn't all that cool, all the boys are in stitches. I'm having so much fun, I cannot believe I ever considered not coming.
We are interupted by a knock at the door.
"Time to go boys" the security inputs and a member of their crew then whisks us all backstage.
Liam, Zayn, Harry and Louis all dissapear to sort out their last minute microphone issues leaving me and Niall alone for a moment.
"I love your dress, you look absolutely lovely this evening Caroline" Niall almost purrs.
"Please, call me Carr. That's kind of you, you don't look to bad yourself" I wink back. Wow, where did this new found confidence come from? I decided to just roll with it.
"Alright, Carr. I've gotta go get in position, but just so you know you're coming to chill with me and the boys after the show. Laters baby" he blows me a kiss, beams his side smile and then strides off to take his position with the rest of the boys, leaving me to sit and overanalyse the fact that Niall beautiful Horan just called me baby.
This is too good to be true, isn't it?
