After Party

Virginie's Point Of View

December 13

We've been driven to the London Edition Hotel for the X Factor after party the boys are hosting. It's quite overwhelming the amount of people present at the tavern side of the hotel. It looks like one of the clubs the boys invited me to a while ago. Lots of decorations and bright lights shining around the room express the joyful feeling everyone is sharing. The boys get everybody laughing and have a great time.

Everytime he isn't on stage, Harry brings me to meet everyone. I'm really happy he does, truly, but, after an hour of being by his side and talking to everybody, I feel a bit out of place. Harry is absolutely hilarious and he talks cryptically about the industry and some problems that I can't quite understand myself since I live a more modest life back home. But I gather my courage, I kiss his hand and leave his side. I look around for Anne or Karen or anyone really I could have fun with and talk.

I've circled to room two times, I saw Liam talking with Reggie and Bollie and I didn't want to disturb. It was the same with Louis and Simon, so I continue to walk until I stumble upon Chris Martin looking at me.

"Would you be pleased to dance, Miss?" He asks me and I have to look behind me to make sure he is in fact talking to me.

"Yes I would." I immediately agree as he takes my hand to bring me to the center of the dance floor.

He smiles as brightly as the sun is warm and starts moving his body adorably weirdly to the upbeat sound of the music. I embrace his style and dance just as crazily. He takes my hand again and makes me swirl. I can't stop myself from smiling brightly. I'm now genuinely having fun until someone comes to him to take him away. He smiles at me and kisses my hand.

"Until we meet again Gynie..." He says to me and my heart stops beating for a moment.

I only find the strength to wave goodbye and he giggles away. That was unbelievable! I must stay in the middle of the dance floor for a long time reliving ever moment of our meeting. I see Louis walk in front of me and I jump on the occasion.

"Louis!" I shout and he stops to look at me, smiling more beautiful than he has ever been. "Can I ask you a favour!?"

"Of course Love!"

"Great! Thank you! We need to go somewhere more intimate though..."

After a while, I am terribly hungry and find my way to the buffet and that's where I find Selena.

"Don't eat that, I swear to you this is disgusting, but the mini burgers are very good." She says then starts to laugh pointing the little biscuit I was about to pick. "I mean, you can eat that thing if you want, but you take your chances..."

"I love burgers!"

"Me too! Hahaha! Look at us, bounding over burgers!"

"I just love food so much." I smile brightly at her filling myself a small plate.

"OK, where have you been all my life!?" She jokes and makes herself one too.

We get seated on leather firm couch and get talking about food, which leads to Niall, which leads to One Direction, which leads to Harry, which leads to me, which leads to Canada and then leads to Montreal. She talks about going to the Bell Center, doing a show last summer and I remember wanting to go very much, but I couldn't. Anyway, we end up talking about lots of things until Niall joins us.

"Hey Sel, are you ready to go? Louis just left for Libertine." Niall says coming to us.

"Yeah! It was nice meeting you Gynie. I really hope we get to see each other again and we could go eat together." She smiles at me as she comes for a hug.
