The Business Trip

Security, Meetings, and Autographs

"OMG! Seeing you people live made me a bigger Directioner than I already was!" I said as I hugged them as they came off stage.

"Glad you liked the show. I'm hungry. Where's the food they promised us?" Niall said as he quickly pecked my nose and started running down the hall toward the dressing room.

"Wait! There was food here the whole time?!? Why wasn't I informed?" I screamed, taking off in a full sprint to catch up.

"They must be twins!" I heard Liam remark to the others.

I must've not been paying attention, because I slammed right into a massive security guard. "Oh! Um, I-I am so so sorry sir! I didn't mean-"

He cut me off, and, in an ordering tone he barked, "What are you even doing back here? Why are you chasing after Mr. Horan?"

"Well, see, the funny thing is...I'm kinda supposed to be back here." I was nervous.

"How's that?"

"Niall, he, uh, invited me. And I came for soundcheck, but I got bored and checked twitter, someone wrote something mean about me and then Niall tweeted about me and how beautiful I was and then someone asked if we were boyfriend/girlfriend and he kissed me so I guess I'm his girlfriend even though I just met him yesterday at the hotel their staying at-"

"Likely story. Actually it isn't. I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"But it's true. I swear! I'll call him right now! You'll see."

"C'mon kid."

I clicked his picture. It rang once, twice, three times. Please pick up, please. I prayed silently.

"Ello?" Niall asked his mouth probably full of food.

"Niall! Thank God you picked up! I was caught by security and now they won't let me go. Tell them to let me go. Or come get me."

The security guard took my phone. "Is this Niall Horan?" He barked into it. He talked for a couple seconds before handing it back to me. "He'll be here in a minute. I hope for your sake it really is him."

"It is."

"Mmmmhmmm."

Suddenly I see the security guard's eyes grow wide and I am engulfed by a pair of muscular arms.

"Hey KitKat!"

"Niall! Thank God. I thought I was gonna get thrown out of here." I said as I hugged him back.

"Well, um...I-I-I'm sorry for the m-m-mistake Mr. Horan. Ma'am sorry about what I said. It'll never happen again."

"It's quite alright sir. She didn't have a security badge on. It was our bad."

My stomach rumbled loudly.

"Well, we'd better go get some food." Niall laughed. "C'mon Kate."

We left the security guard gaping in the hall as we walked hand in hand back to the dressing room. Niall pushed open the door without knocking. We walked in. Zayn, Louis, and Liam were all sitting in chairs talking on their phones. Harry however, was spread out on the couch eating a sandwich. In his boxers.

"Ewww! Harry! Put some clothes on!" Niall whined in a girly voice.

"I want food. Where is it?" I asked. Food was more important than embarrassment.

"Over there." Harry pointed to a long buffet table filled with every kind of food, candy and drink imaginable.

I grinned, ran over to it, and started filling my plate with chips, a Club sandwich, gummy bears, pretzels, and cubed cheese. I grabbed a coke and sat down between Niall and Harry, (who was still only in his boxers might I add) and started stuffing my face. I only stopped when Harry remarked, "she eats like you Nialler. Like it'll be her last meal on earth."
