Behind the Scenes

Preperation

Niall Horan just asked me on a date. Hannah say something.

“Yes”

He smiled at me, “What are you doing tomorrow?”

“Um it’s a Sunday, nothing, I don’t think” I replied now grinning broadly

“So how about tomorrow then, say around 4?” he asked, maybe I was imagining it, but hopefully?

“Sounds good,” I replied, “What are we going to do?”

“It’s a surprise” he said and I groaned. I was not very patient.

“I’ll see you then” I smiled and said before getting in my car and leaving after giving him my address.

When I got home, I was still grinning and that’s how I slept, with a huge smile on my face.

**the next day**

I woke up at 9:30, which was pretty early for my because I liked my sleep, but as soon as I was awake I knew I wasn’t going back to bed because I was excited and happy; I had a date with Niall Horan today!

I got out of bed, took a shower and went downstairs to eat something, when I realized that since I had been away for a few days and my parents never eat at home since they’re never home, I had no food.

It was only 11:00, so I jumped in my car and headed to the store to get myself some food. I parked and took a cart, then started browsing. I hadn’t brought a list so I just picked out whatever looked good, which was basically everything, so I had a full cart by the time I was done. I went to the cashier and started putting things on the conveyer belt when it happened. I’d just put my cereal up when I turned to get the next item out of my cart and my shirt got caught. The conveyer belt started moving and since I hadn’t noticed it yet, of course the bottom of my shirt was completely ripped off and was now travelling towards the cashier who started laughing.

The kid was about 15 and clearly thought he was hot shit because he then said to me, “Babe, if you wanted to take your clothes off for me you didn’t have to go rippin’ ‘em”

I stared at the kid and if I’d had any food at home would have just left, but I needed my food, so instead I said “Hey kid, I know your only like, twelve, so you haven’t figured this out yet, but girls with asses like mine, do not talk to boys with faces like yours.” And then started unpacking my cart again.

When I went to pay, his face had gone bet red and he didn’t say another word to me, but I made sure to tell him to have a good day as I was leaving.

I know, it was bitchy, but I’m not a morning person, especially if I haven’t eaten, and I’d just watched the movie she’s the man, and really wanted to try out that line.

I got home, unpacked my groceries and it was only 1:30, so I took my dog outside for a little exercise after changing my now ruined shirt.

When it was finally about 2:30, I started getting ready, slipping on some boot cut jeans, my toms, an oversized grey t shirt overtop of a white tank top and once again, my navy jacket.

I was waiting for him to arrive ten minutes before he was supposed to, and kept checking my phone. I’d never been so nervous for a date before! I don’t know if it was because he was famous or if I just really liked him, but I realized I needed to calm down, so I went over to a mirror and told myself that it was just another date, and to be myself. Just as I was finishing my self-peptalk, there was a knock at the door.

Calm, calm, calm, calm, calm….. whooo, I can do this.

I walked to the door and opened it nervously, only to see Niall standing there looking really attractive in his dark wash jeans and red Jack Wills shirt.

He smiled and for some reason I felt way more comfortable, and I smiled back.

“Come on in, I just have to grab by bag.” I told him opening the door wide.

He walked in, looking around and I grabbed my satchel and shoved my phone in it. When I turned around, he was starring at me and I suddenly became self conscious.

“What?” I asked nervously

“Huh? Oh nothing, you just look nice” he said clearing his throat

I smiled, “So do you. So where are we going again?”

We walked outside and he opened the door to his black Audi A4 for me.

“I didn’t tell you” He said smiling, “But nice try”

He backed out of the driveway and we started driving, and the only thing that kept repeating through my mind was holy crap, I’m on a date with Niall Horan.
