Okay Brooklin pull yourself together.
"Niall?"
I tapped his shoulder

"Sorry no pictures" he quickly replied not even bothering to turn around.

This time I gripped his shoulder trying to make him face me.
I did not muster a bunch of confidence to allow myself to be shut down without being given a chance.

"Listen, I'm sorry but-
Bryn?
Holy crap, Brooklin is that you?"
I slightly cringed, God that nickname.

"Yeah Ni, it's me." I smiled,
he engulfed me in a hug asking so many questions that I couldn't
even try to respond.
"Niall I.can't.breathe" I dramatically inhaled making him release me,

"Right, right, so um can I buy you some coffee?"

I forgot I was in a coffeehouse house, I looked up at the bartender looking irritated, clearly because while I was catching up with a long lost friend, the line got busier and he wasn't getting payed to just stand around.

"Thank you, but I already ordered"
I took my drink off the counter
and nodded my head toward a table.

"Right, well how've you been? I haven't seen you in like," he scoffed shaking his head
"years"

I nodded my head, that was true, 7 years had passed since I last saw him. I remember visiting him during his first tour he brought me to a show, I was amazed at how many people idolized the band.
After that I came to a couple other shows and then i just stopped seeing him, I only heard about him through social media and all that jazz.
We've both grown up since then, the worldwide known band- One Direction- has been even more successful than in 2012, I myself have been very successful these last few years as well.

"I've been good, I see you guys recently came out with a new album." I sipped my semi hot coffee

"Yeah we're really proud of it." He scrunched his nose in disgust
"Sorry, force of habit"

"It's okay,
but seriously, how is it"

"What? Oh, the fame, it's satisfying but there are days where I wish I was invisible." He sighed

"Yeah me too," I mumbled,
I'm sure he doesn't know about my career too much.
"Um, I really don't want to say this, but I have to go back to..work." I frowned

"It's fine, if you want we could meet up for lunch? I'm here for the next week so if you want to catch up i'm free." he grinned little wrinkles forming by his eyes

"That would be perfect, " I grinned taking a napkin and writing down my number
"I'll see you when I see you."

"It's a date. I I mean not an actual date but like the expression, i mean we'll just be friends catching up for lunch," he rambled

"It's okay, I get what you mean." he let out a shaky laugh nodding his head as I grabbed my purse, I waved at him when I exited and headed toward my photoshoot.
My phone buzzed
'see you Wednesday :)'
I added Niall to my contacts and called for my car.

'til Wednesday.
