CHAPTER EIGHTEEN!!! :)

(This chapter has been edited for mistakes)      

---Nikki's POV---

"Is it always a rush?" I asked, as we ran of the stage after our set for the concert. We settled into the dressing room with One Direction, who were to go on in twenty minutes. They were getting their mics set and put on. 

"Pretty much, yeah," Ashton answered. We tried to keep my oddness from Luke on the down low, since the 1D guys didn't know about it. And we didn't plan on telling them. 

"Am I able to go watch them perform?" I whispered to Michael, as I leaned into him slightly. We were sitting next to each other on one of the couches; Ash had claimed a giant beanbag chair, which he was laying on; and Calum was sitting upside down in one of the other chairs. 

"Yeah. We can go sit on the side of the stage. It's a pretty good view," he replied, slipping his hand into mine in a way that didn't show to anyone but us two. 

"Okay," I smiled and nodded, squeezing his hand slightly. We stared at each other for a few moments. 

"Staring contest?" an Irish lit broke in. Our hands quickly separated as we both jumped. Niall laughed and gave me a pat on the back. 

"Looks like you blinked first, mate," he said. "Can I have a go?" 

I stood and let him sit next to Michael. He looked a bit annoyed that Niall had interrupted our moment, but they started the staring contest. I was surprised I was able to read him so well in the short amount of time I knew him. Like the evil glint he was slowly getting in his eyes. 

"Penis..." he said slowly, causing Niall to crack up, which, in turn, made him close his eyes. Niall had lost. Michael started laughing, too, as did Ashton. Calum hadn't been paying attention, but I had the feeling that if he was, he would have laughed, too. 

I watched them, smiling at the laughter. It was adorable. All the fans said that Ash had a cute laugh, and I agreed with them, but I preferred Michael's. It was so carefree and it practically burst out of him. 

I stood there, leaning on the back of the couch, just smiling, watching them laugh and have a good time. 

Calum stood up and walked behind me, texting or something on his phone. He reached out, though, and patted my butt. I jumped, startled and looked at him incredulously. He froze, and looked at me, scared, as if he had just realized what he did and didn't want me to punch him or something. I stared at him, wide-eyed, for a few moments, before shrugging it off. 

He gave a nervous laugh and continued on, looking back to his phone. 

"One Direction to the wings," a guy popped his head in with a headset. At that, the five boys walked out, following the headset guy. 

"Come on, Nik," Michael said, standing and taking hold of my hand. He lead me out to the side stage. A few girls screamed around us when they realized who had sat down, but it wasn't too bad. The view from here was actually pretty great. 

I couldn't help but squeak a little as they came onto the stage. 

~<>~ 

They did amazing. Best concert I had ever been to....then again, this was technically my first concert. 

I was smiling so big as Michael dragged me back to the dressing room. Ashton had passed out on one of the couches, and Calum was sitting on the floor, his head leaning back onto Ash's arm. He was asleep, too. 

"Awwww!" I cooed. "Michael, take a picture." He laughed, pulling his phone out of his pocket, and clicking a few times. 

"Got it. And it's on twitter," he said, smiling. I grinned back at him and quickly stole his phone.
