JAMES MARRIOTT ONESHOTS 🌶🌶🌶

Caught his eye

We had been waiting in line for hours waiting to get into the venue, it was only a small one since this will be him last one off gig in a while. After hours of waiting the line started to move and as we made our way inside I didn't realise how small the venue was. The venue itself held about 300 people max and as we got in we were right in the middle of the small crowd that was getting bigger with every person that joined.

As the support finished me and my friend L made our way to the toilets. I was sorting out my hair while L was dabbing her face with tissue.

"Why the hell is it so hot in there?" dabbing the sweat from her neck. I chuckled and said, "Its gonna get a lot hotter when James come out" 

She shot back with a smirk "That's because your going to be drooling all over him the whole time" 

"I am not!!!" she laughed at my sarcasm. Its true I have a slight crush on James but at the same time I don't even know him properly, he could be the complete opposite of what he show his fans plus its not like he would be interested in me I'm just another fan to him and that's fine.

As we walked back to the venue and back to our places a few minutes later James came onto stage and the whole room erupted into cheers and the songs began to play. One after another there was jumping and mosh pits it was exciting, a few times my friend thought James kept looking at me but I didn't think anything of it since with all those lights in his face I doubted that he could see much. 

His next song was romanticise this, I wanted to enjoy the song first time live so i just existed in the moment and looked at James, and he was looking back. It felt as those everyone around me went silent as James sang.

" I wont go slowly, she said wont you call me one more time, if you insist, god forbid that I romanticise this" 

and as the music erupted once again James looked away and everyone was singing at the top of their lungs. It felt as if in that one moment my heart had stopped and started to beat again. 

After the gig I was practically covered in sweat and tired from all the singing and dancing. Most people started to leave including my friend who needed to get back home on time but i had all the time in the world since I was staying Brighton for a few nights, I went round the corner for a cigarette, the smoke burned my lungs and I relished in its flumes, I could breathe again. The cool air relaxed my body as sea breeze comforted me.

i was too busy just trying to relax that i didn't realise that someone came out of a back door of the venue and I really didn't care , I was too busy trying to get my breath back and relax.

A familiar voice came from next to me.

"do you have a light?" 

Without even looking at the person speaking to me I grabbed my lighter and gave it to them and as I looked up I didn't know if I was about to go into shock or panic luckily I stayed calm and didn't freak out like some annoying fangirl.

James fucking Marriot was asking me for a lighter.

I took a puff of my cigarette for courage before replying.

"I didn't know you smoked"

"I don't" he said lighting his and breathing it in.

"well neither do I" copying his action with an inhale.

"I'm surprised you're not asking for a photo" he leaned against the wall next to me.

"Well personally I wouldn't want to take a photo if I was in the middle of smoking" I turned my head to look at him as he chuckled slightly.

"you're right, I wouldn't either" he turned and looked me in the eyes and what felt like a lifetime was just 2 people standing outside having a smoke and a chat but like every moment it always comes to a end. he finished his cigarette and stood on it.

"nice meeting you- um?" 

"Kayla." I answered

"Kayla, see ya." 

James started to walk away as I watched him walk away back towards the back door, he paused and turned to look at me, I gave him a simple smile as he walked in and the door closed leaving me outside alone. only the sounds of cars and people talking in the distance were my white noise as i smoked. Brighton always felt like home.

As I stood on my cigarette i was about to turn to leave as I heard the door open again. I turned to see James standing there again.

"Kayla right?" 

"Yes, did you need a light again?" sarcastically smiled.

" Can I buy you a drink?" 

Shocked by his question I though he was joking or I was just going crazy.

"I don't really drink alcohol" I said nervously hoping that was what he asked.

"neither do I" he smiled showing some understanding.

I turned and started to walk to him and as I stood in front of him I responded

"sounds fun" 

we smiled at each other as he held the back door open for me and it closed.

the sounds of the city continued to echo through the streets of Brighton but for just one night they would not fill the empty space of my mind but the sounds of introductions and laughter instead.
