We arrived at the venue in plenty of time and I locked the guys in their dressing room while they did a few phone interviews I'd lined up. Harry was obviously asked about his relationship status but he stuck with the "it's all very recent, so we'll see how it goes" while notably trying to get eye contact with me, however feeling overly embarrassed by his dedicated stare in front of his band mates wasn't high on my agenda, so I occupied myself with my laptop. Three phone calls later they were done and kicked back and relaxed in their dressing room, and having nothing else to do I stayed with them while I worked away on my laptop.

Louis came over and joined me. His questions were casual, but at the same time I felt like I was being blindly interrogated, however he was probably just looking out for Harry, something I knew my friends would do for me.

"So what did you do before you joined Sony?" he asked as her passed a bottle of water from one hand to the other.

"Well I graduated three years ago and went straight into a PR agency as a junior exec. We did bits and bob's for Sony while I was there and then last year Sharon was invited to our Christmas doo, and we got talking. We exchanged emails and she emailed me the next day saying there was a vacancy and to apply, so I did, and here I am" I said with a smile.

"And you're enjoying it?" he asked.

"Oh yeah, I'd always aimed to end up at a record label, it's just so competitive, so I'm blessed to be where I am today, I'm also a great believer that things happen for a reason. Me and Sharon were meant to meet that Christmas, just as a position became available" I said as I cast my mind back to the day I met Sharon, her call to me offering me the job, and my first day in the office, despite it being so recent, it felt like decades ago.

"And without that you wouldn't have met that oaf" he said with a smile as he pointed to Harry who was currently catching maltesers in his mouth as Niall and Liam threw them at him.

"Very true" I said with a nod as I stared over at him. He was oblivious of my gaze as he continued to mess around with his band mates and for a moment I drifted out of the conversation with Louis and let my mind run free. Moments passed and I was jolted from my daydream as Louis' phone rang.

"Be right back" he said before answering it and leaving the table "Hey beautiful..." I heard him say before he left the room. It must have been Hannah.

Before long Jack began loitering as their sound check loomed, and before I knew it I was sat in an empty dressing room. It had been a stressful and packed few days so I used the alone time to my advantage and chilled out on the sofa with a cup of tea and a magazine. Flicking through the magazine mindlessly it dawned on me that I could soon be gracing these pages; I was sure Harry's relationship status would be top news in the 'On or Off' pages of most of the celeb magazines. I resigned myself to the fact that it came with the territory and that I would need to adjust to this unwanted, and frankly, unnecessary press attention if things were to work out between us.
