The Waiting Game

THE WAITING GAME - 2

JUNE 2015

LONDON, ENGLAND

"Ariana, you're up in five." Her manager told her after knocking on the door of her dressing room. "Coming!" She shouted back as she applied lipstick on her lips, finishing her look. She just applied light make up and wore a casual outfit. White cropped top, jeans, and a cat ear headband accessory on her tied up straightened hair.

Today is her first show in London. She is very excited to perform, but aside from that, she is also so psyched to meet some fans before the actual show. She glanced at herself one last time before heading out of the room towards the meet and greet venue.

When she was finally standing in her spot in the room, the staffs did their jobs. The securities let the fans in one by one while the photographers prepared themselves to take pictures. Ariana made sure to spare enough time to talk to her lovely fans.

Soon enough, squeals can be heard all over the room every time a batch of fans came in. Ariana just kept the sweet smile on her face while greeting each one of them with a hug. Some fans cried because of finally meeting their idol while some froze and got star struck by just seeing her. Ariana chuckles whenever this happens. "You, guys, are so cute." She said, little did she know, she's the cutest person in the room and these fans feel so lucky to see her adorableness up close.

"Hey..." She greeted the next fan who immediately ran to hug her. "I'm Ariana, it's so nice to meet you." She added while hugging the person back.

The little girl squealed and hugged her tighter. "Oh my God! I love you so much!" The girl shouted, still hugging her. "My name is Anne. I'm 12 years old. I'm like your biggest fan. I can't believe this is happening..." Ariana smiled.

"Well... Hello, Anne. I'm glad to finally meet my biggest fan. Would you like to take a picture?" She said to the young girl. The latter nodded her head and they took a couple of pictures. "Are you alone?" She asked her fan, worried for her being alone knowing that she's too young.

Anne shook her head 'no', "I'm with my mom. She's outside."

"Adam, can you please get her mom?" Ariana asked one of the securities nicely, who in return just nodded. "She doesn't have a ticke—"

"It's okay, sweetie. I can't let you dive into the crowd alone."

This is what makes Ariana different and probably the reason why her fans love her. Aside from her undeniable beauty and talent, she truly cares for her fans.

The meet and greet session continued. Ariana met a couple more fans. The room was filled with laughter and tears of joy. She listened to their stories and she felt closer than ever to them. "Thank you. I'm glad to meet you too. Hope you, guys, enjoy the show." She said to the group of fans she just met before they exit the room.

"Let the next one in..." She instructed after the last group finally got out.

"Where the fuck is him, Casey?!" She heard a guy shout. "We're next in line. I'm not going to wait for him. It's Ariana over anyone else." The guy added.

Ariana waited for them to come inside the room. She finds the guy's last words incredibly funny. She can't stop smiling.

"Oh my God! What a beauty!" The guy exclaimed, earning a laugh from Ariana, herself. "I'm Troy and this is my cousin, Casey." He introduced.
