 Meanwhile at the boys' hotel...

Li: Zayn! For the millionth time. Don't leave my clothes on the floor!

Z: Sorry mate, I was in a hurry.

H: When is Paul coming back with Chloe? He should be here by now. Why is he late?

Li: Relax, Harry. Jeez, you act like you're about to meet your baby's momma.

That comment earned him loud laughter from all the boys, except Harry of course.

Lo: Where's Niall? Did anybody see him?

Just as he finished his sentence a yawning Niall in boxer briefs appeared.

H: Niall! Why aren't you dressed yet? Chloe's on her way here. Hurry!

N: Oh shit! Where's my shirt?

Z: Urgh! How much time do we have left? I can't find my shoes.

Liam just stood there as the rest of the boys ran across the room, trying desperately to find missing shirts and shoes.

Z: Niall! Open the door! I need to fix my hair!

H: OMG! Paul just texted me. They're here, they're here!

The boys once again started panicking and various clothing items flew through the air.

Li: Guys, guys. Stop! Relax. She's just a girl we're hanging out with. No big deal. You act like premature teenage boys. I bet even Chloe didn't flip out like that. Now, take a deep breath and calm the fuck down! You're the stars, not the groupies!

Louis chuckled. Unbelievable what one girl who didn't flip out as soon as she saw them did to their egos.

Li: Louis, Zayn what is wrong with you two? You have girlfriends. You're not even supposed to participate in this madness!

Lo: Sorry, I guess I got carried away.

Zayn didn't speak.

N: Wait! What does that have to do with their girlfriends? I thought we were just going to hang out with her? It shouldn't matter who's single and who's not, right?

Li: You're right. It doesn't.

H: Ummm, I think it does...

Li: It doesn't Harry.

A fight would've broken out if it wasn't for Paul who just at this moment banged on the boys' room door.

Everybody gathered their shit and took a deep breath.

Li: Remember, she's just a girl.

On the other side of the door, Chloe stood there, eyes closed, trying to calm her nerves. She felt like throwing up.  

Why am I so nervous?

P: You ok, Chloe?

I nodded.

C: Actually I feel kinda stupid doing this.

It wasn't even a lie. This definitely felt stupid.

P: I know it's an odd situation. Trust me the boys don't like it either. It's just... There's no other way for them to meet new people, you know. They have paparazzi following their every step, making up crazy rumors each time one of them is being photographed with a girl.

C: I understand. It's just that I'm feeling kind of uncomfortable right now. It'll get better once I walk throught that door.

P: It will. Ready?
