One Direction One Shots

Glad I Came

“Mary, for the last time, I am not going to some stupid club with you,” I say with frustration as we walk home to my house. Elizabeth remained silent, not wanting any part in our argument.

“C’mon Emily, it’ll be fun!” she whines. “Elizabeth even said she would go!”

My eyes widen, shocked that Lizzie would agree to such a thing. I look towards her and she blushes, her dark hair covering her face as she looks at the ground. A guy passes us and we move to the side, but Lizzie was too busy looking at the ground that she didn’t see him.

“Oh my gosh, are you okay? I am so sorry!” he says in a British accent.

“It’s okay,” she says in her soft, quiet voice. She looks up at the stranger and offers him a small smile, but then stops cold.

“What? What is it?” the stranger asks.

“You’re-you’re Zayn Malik. From One Direction,” she quivers. Her eyes shone brightly with excitement, but being the person she is, she didn’t show it.

“Oh, yes. That…” he trails off. “And you are?”

“Elizabeth Miller,” she responds shyly.

“Well Elizabeth, maybe you and I could hang out some time. The lads and I are staying here for a couple of days because our tour bus broke down. We’re going to a club tonight, so maybe we’ll see you there?” he asks her with a smile, lowering his hood so me and Mary could see his face as he smiles at our best friend.

We both gasp at the same time, amazed that we were actually in the presence of one of the members of One Direction.

“Uh, yeah, uh, sure,” she stutters.

He scribbles something on a piece of paper and hands it over to her. She glances at it and her eyes widen even more. “See you later, Elizabeth,” he says as he continues walking.

“No way. No way, no way, no way!” Mary shouts as I go over. I look at the paper in her hands, confirming that it was his number and I start squealing.

“Now you just have to go to the club with us!” Mary yells in my face. “Don’t you want to see Niall?”

“Probably as much as you want to see Liam,” I say with a giggle.

“Exactly! So c’mon, let’s stop by Lizzie’s house, then your’s, and then we can head over to my house to get ready.”

“Oh my God, girl, you look sexy,” Mary says as she turns her chair so I could see myself in the mirror. I gasp, looking at myself in the mirror in awe. Lizzie had curled my hair into soft, gentle waves and Mary had put on some glittery eyeshadow, some black mascara, and a little bit of lipgloss. I looked like a completely different person just because of a little bit of makeup.

“Wow…” I whisper. “Whoa, but look at you guys!” I exclaim as I turn around to face them. Lizzie was wearing a black dress that had a short sash thing that fell just below the knee on one side. Her hair was also wavy, and she had on some dark red heels and a chunky bracelet. Mary was wearing a sparkly black, one-shouldered dress, paired with silver hoop earrings and silver heals. Her blonde hair was tied up into a bun to put attention to her face.

“Oh please, once you put this dress on, you’ll be the most gorgeous one of us all,” Liz says as she throws me the dress she picked out for our night out.

I go into her bathroom and slip the dress on, sliding the heels on to my feet. I look at myself in the mirror and beam. I walked out and asked them, “What do you think?”

“Girl, you are definitely gonna get Niall’s attention,” she says as she eyes me up and down. “Now let’s go.”

We walk downstairs and out the front door, Mary yelling, “Mom, I’m borrowing the car for the night!”

“Make sure to get some gas before you come home!” her mom yells back. We get into the car and head of to the club.

~*~*~*~

Music blasted through various speakers that were strewn throughout the big room. There was a bar on the left, a bunch of tables on the right, and a huge dance floor in the middle with a DJ booth at the front. “Let’s go sit down first so we don’t have to worry about finding a table later,” I say to my friends over the loud music. They nod in agreement and we head over a table, putting our stuff down as we sit. We observe all of the people walking in, checking to see if Zayn was telling the truth and that they were actually going to be here.

“Look, there they are,” Lizzie shouts as she points them out discreetly. Zayn must have spotted us because him and the boys come over to our table. He smiles at her and says, “Hey Lizzie.”

“Hi Zayn,” she says shyly, letting her hair fall into her face.

“Mind if we sit here with you guys?” Liam asks us.

“No, go ahead,” Mary says quickly, slightly bouncing up and down in her seat.

They all sit down, and we all start switching around. Finally, we were satisfied with our seats. It was Zayn, Liz, Mary, Liam, Niall, me, Harry, and Lou.

“So what are your names?” Zayn asks me and Mary. “I don’t think I introduced myself before.”

“Yeah, because you were too busy ogling Lizzie,” I blurt out.

Niall and the other three boys start laughing, while Zayn and Liz blush.

“Anyways, I’m Emily, and that’s Mary,” I say after I finish laughing.

“Well you probably already know this, but I’m Liam,” he says as he turns to Mary.

“Mary,” she replies as she holds out her hand.

“Would you like to dance?” he asks her. She takes his hand and they glide on to the dance floor, getting lost in the huge crowd.

“They would make such a cute couple,” I say dreamily.

“Yeah they would,” Niall says in his hot Irish accent. “But you know who would make an even cuter couple?”

I furrow my eyebrows. “Lizzie and Zayn?”

“Nope. Guess again,” he replies with a smile.

“Hmmm… Lou and Harry?” I say while chuckling.

“No…” he says as he stifles back a laugh.

“Then who?!” I exclaim in frustration.

“You and me,” he replies just before he kisses me. He pulls back and looks into my eyes, his eyes shining with excitement. “Would you like to dance, princess?”

“Of course, my prince,” I say jokingly. I take his hand and he leads me off into the dance floor. He places his hands on my hips and I place mine on his shoulders, leaning my head on to his chest. Although I wouldn’t admit this to her, I’m glad Mary convinced me to come to this club after all. I’m glad I came.
