We will meet again

Chapter 26

Soph's POV

It was 5pm when my phone rang. It was an unknown number. Probably some client. Damn! I just got home and was looking forward to some quality time in the bathtub. Then I would order pizza and watch movies with Aly as soon as she returned from her not-date.

- Hello?

- Soph? This is Harry. ... Styles. Ummm, listen do you girls wanna come to our show tonight? You could hang out backstage and meet Louis' and Liam's girlfriends.

- Oh crap! I'd love to but Aly's actually going on a date tonight so I don't know. I guess another time. Besides it's a 5-hour-drive to Oakland and its already 5 sooooo...

- Don't worry I have our private jet waiting at the airport in LA. Say yes and the driver will be at your place in 30 minutes.

- Are you sure this is okay? I mean because Aly won't be coming along.

- Yes, I'm sure. Get ready. I'll call the driver.

- Alright, thanks. See you soon I guess.

- See ya, bye.

What in the world? I was about to fly out in a private jet to the boys' concert to hang out backstage and meet the girlfriends? Nothing strange with that, right? Only thing that bothered me was that all of this was probably meant for Aly...

"Ah, whatever! It's not like I haven't met them before. I just hope Harry doesn't hit on me. That guy confuses me."

I ran upstairs and tried to figure out what to take with me. Harry said nothing about me staying overnight or them coming back with me. I decided to take a large handbag and put an oversized shirt in, my toothbrush and basic makeup stuff. I got dressed concert-appropriate but also fitting for the day after. You never know what could happen.

30 minutes later the doorbell rang and a middle-aged guy was standing in front of me.

"I'm here to pick up Miss Sophie."

"That would be me." I said with a smile. I took my keys and closed the door. I noticed I didn't leave a note for Aly so she wouldn't worry. It was probably not the best idea to tell what I was about to do.

2 hours later...

I was backstage at my first One Direction concert, feeling more than excited. People rushed in and out of the boys' dressing room where me and the girlfriends were waiting for the boys to return from soundcheck.

"So, are you excited?" Eleanor asked, shooting me a gorgeous smile.

"Overwhelmed, actually." I replied.

"You look intimidated, don't be." Danielle chimed in.

I sighed. "It's just a weird situation. You see, Harry called and invited both of us, Aly and me, to this concert. Well, actually I'm pretty sure he only wanted to invite Aly but he must felt like an ass and invived us both."

The two girls laughed out loud. "No, no. Don't worry. Aly's friend is our friend!" Dani came over and hugged me.

The door opened and all five walked in, confused by what they witnessed.

Zayn sat down on the couch next to me and slowly looked up, his face a huge question mark.

"Aly's busy tonight. Work, you know."

He nodded.

You see, I had to lie about it. Aly didn't even know where I was. I can't imagine how she's going to react when she finds out. IF she finds out. I motioned Harry to sit next to me on the other side of the couch.
