Behind the Scenes

Ireland

“Come on guys!” I said excitedly, running ahead of Danielle, Eleanor and Luke.

“Hannah, calm down; we have all day!” Danielle said with a laugh

The boys were at their first show so Danielle, Eleanor and I were checking out Ireland I had instantly fallen in love with this place. It was chilly but not uncomfortably so, so I was wearing jeans and a light, button up jacket and a pair of Toms.

“I know, but we still have to go to like a hundred places!” I said jumping up and down.

We were currently in Marlay Park and it was so beautiful that if I died right now, I’d be happy. We travelled around the park for a while, had checked out some museums and castles which were amazing and Danielle said if she didn’t get food soon she would die so we decided to stop at a small pub we saw on our way through Dublin.

We walked in and there were a fair number of people inside, but we found a table and got some menus.

“How did you score three beautiful ladies?” I heard an Irish accent ask and everyone at the table looked up to see two guys standing at the end of it.

“They’re my sisters.” Luke replied coolly

“So they’re available?” the same guy asked

“We all have boyfriends.” Danielle said

“You can’t all have boyfriends.” The second guy piped up

“Apparently we can, crazy I know since there are only a couple billion men out there.” I said sarcastically and the first guy looked curiously at me.

“Where are you from love? I can tell ur friends are from England but you must be American.” He said to me

“Canadian.” I corrected, “And like she said, taken.”

The guys wouldn’t leave though, and continued to try and get us involved in a conversation. Finally Luke stepped in.

“Boys, I suggest you leave right now. My sisters told you they have boyfriends and unless you want me to make you; back up.”

“Whatever.” The second guy said and led the first guy away but winked at me just the same.

Once they were out of earshot, Eleanor burst out laughing and I gave Luke a high five. We had the rest of our lunch without incident and were right back to looking around Dublin right after.

“Niall it was so amazing! I’m going to come back here every other day just so I can see it again!” i told him later that night, once they’d finished with their shows and we were telling them how everything went as we all sat in Liam and Danielle’s room eating.

“Niall, what is this?” Zayn asked as he picked up a strange looking bread.

“That’s Barmbrack; it’s like a dessert loaf.” Niall responded. I wanted to try Irish food really badly, so Paul had gone to a store and asked them to make him traditional irish foods and we got them in spades. There was black pudding, bacon and cabbage, boxty, champ, colcannon, coddle, skirts and kidneys, veda and potato and wheaten and soda bread, goody, blaa, drisheen, Irish breakfast, Irish stew, corned beef and cabbage, and crubeens. Of course, these names meant nothing to me but I was trying everything regardless.

Zayn took a tentative bite and smiled; giving thumbs up on the bread.

“So, where did you guys go then?” Liam asked and we named everywhere we’d gone.

“Where did you have lunch?” Harry asked and the three of us let out a little laugh.

“What’s so funny?” Louis asked suspiciously
