Plush, red leather squished under my weight as I sat down in the booth at Nando's. Harry slid in next to me. "Erm, so I've never been here so can somebody help me order?"

"I can!" Niall piped up. "You boys want the usual?" he asked the rest of the group. They nodded in famished agreement. We both slid out of the booth and headed towards the wherever the spot was where you ordered. A perky girl behind the counter stood up a little straighter as she noticed Niall and me walk over.

"Hi! And welcome to Nando's! What'll it be?" she asked, a little too bubbly for a person who takes orders all day. I guess he has that effect on women.

Without even looking at the menu, Niall ordered. "Five half peri peri chickens with mild sauce and one whole peri peri chicken with mild sauce."

"You all get the same thing?" I asked, curiously. "How diverse!" I teased, giggling at the same time? Giggling? What is this? I usually erupt in laughter.

"Well it's just easy! And it's the best thing here! I mean, every thing's good it's just that they make the chicken so-"

"Niall, calm down! You're rambling! It's okay it's just me. I know you barely know but there is absolutely no reason to be nervous." I cooed will rubbing his arm.

His face relaxed and the blush that had rose to his cheeks faded as he regained himself. "Sorry. I just, erm, oh I give up." he sighed, exasperated.

Grabbing the chicken, I replied with a wink, "Oh okay, whenever you're ready, you can talk to me." As I walked away, he just stood there, frozen in his thoughts. "C'mon! You won't be able to eat your chicken if you just stand there!" That seemed to awaken his senses again. He raced back to the table and was practically drooling. The rest of the boys acted like lions hunting their prey when I set the food down. Each one diving into the chicken and devouring every last edible piece. 'Well I guess no one taught them table manners when they were a kid' I thought to myself.

We just ate in silence for a while. It was quite awkward, something I'm used to. Harry broke it. "So, Ali, what do you do?"

"I'm not currently working but I go down to a Starbucks and play my guitar and sing." I'm quite proud of that achievement.

Niall's ears perked up a little when I mentioned a play guitar. "You play?"

"Yep! Have since I was 10! It's so great."

"That's so cool! We should play sometime or something!"

"Definitely!" That's not a date, right? I'm not ready to date. Playing guitar with your new guy friend isn't a date, it's just hanging out. Mentally calming down, I re-joined the conversation.

"So how's the new album coming? I hear it's 'Take Me Home', clever." I commented.

Liam answered this one very proudly. I would be too if I was coming out with my second hit album. "We are just so excited for the fans to hear it! We've been working really hard and we're just doing what we love." he said with a smile.

"That's so nice! To be honest, I already pre-ordered it." I announced, proud of my little accomplishment.

All the boys grinned from ear to ear and each gave me high fives. "So I take it you're a fan?" Zayn questioned.

"Oh yes! I have been for a while now! I just love your music, personalities, I could go on for a while but I don't think you want that." I said, giggling.

"I found out she was when I walked into Starbucks and she was playing 'Moments'." Louis added.

The boys exchanged glances and Harry was the first to speak, "Can we hear?"

"Erm... I guess so... I just find it awkward when people just ask me to sing right then and there. And what if I mess up? That would be embarrassing, because I want to be a singer. And singers don't mess up. And-"

"Ali! Now who's the one rambling?" Niall winked.

I blushed. I was caught. Now I felt so very awkward.

"There's no reason to be worried." Harry said cheekily. That made me nervous.

"Well I guess so..." and I started 'Moments.

The boys gave a mini round of applause when I was done. "That was really good, Ali! I bet you could become a singer!" Liam complimented in his cheery voice.

Once again, I blushed. I always blushed when people gave me compliments on anything. I just blush way too much.

Finally finishing off our discussions and antics we left Nandos and got into the car that was awaiting us. Of course, Harry walked me to the door. They really are gentlemen. "Bye Harry it was lovely meeting you!" I said with a smile.

"Will we hang out again?" he asked.

"Why wouldn't we?! You can text me or something."

"Oh and what is that?" Boom. There's that cheeky smile again. He has very nice dimples. I like dimples. NO. I do not like them, Ali. STAY FOCUSED. I told him my number and walked inside. After they pulled away, I screamed to an empty room. I had just met my heroes, my idols, my every things, and I couldn't wait to get more.
