I paced about the lobby. My green dress swayed around my body. Ashton watched me as if I was crazy. I didn't care what he thought though, because I was MEETING ONE DIRECTION. I felt like I was going to cry, pass out, and puke all at once.
The clock ticked closer to the time the boys were supposed to arrive. I began to take deep breaths and tell myself to calm down.
Slowly the noise outside the resort got louder. Quick flashes of light shined into the windows. Many employees of the resort held the front doors closed as paparazzi tried to break in.
"HARRY! NIALL!" The photographers screamed, "LIAM, IS IT TRUE-?" They screamed to a limo that rolled up to the door. Huge body guards began to break through the mob until they came to the glass doors.
One by one the members of One Direction entered the resort. First Harry burst through the doors. His hair was in a mess around his head and his clothes were ruffled.
Followed close behind appeared Zayn. He seemed collected despite the huge mob which surprised me, even if this occurs wherever they go I'd still imagine it'd be hard.
Niall came next. I assumed, his once quiffed hair was now smashed to the side. He wore blue skinny jeans and his famous "Crazy Mofo" tee shirt.
Liam and Louis came in last. They held hands so neither would get lost in the crowd. Each panted loudly. Louis bent over, trying to catch his breath. I felt terrible knowing that this is how they always lived.
Slowly the paparazzi began to fade. The snaps and flashes of cameras dimmed. Niall was the first to approach our group. I slipped behind Ashton as the nerves of meeting them took over me.
I told myself they were just people, but IT'S ONE DIRECTION. Deep breaths through my nose helped me calm down but probably made me look like a lunatic.
Ashton followed by the rest of the boys shook hands with Niall. Mckenzie was last, she grabbed Niall's hand and pulled him into a hug. She squealed a little then introduced herself.
Now it was my turn. With my stomach almost lurching out of my body I approached him. I smiled while holding my shaky hand out for him to take. When he did his firm grip stopped my shaking. "Hello I'm Niall." He smiled.
I could smell his cologne from where I was standing, he smelled like heaven. I snapped from his dreamy sent and replied to him, "Hey I'm Alice. It's really great to meet you Niall." I could barely speak. My words were shaky and my voice was hoarse.
By the way he half smiled half smirked at me I could tell he knew I was nervous. For a few more seconds Niall held onto my hand until Harry came to us.
He towered over me. His leather boots had small wedges that made him even taller than the giant he already was.
A huge smile grew across my face. I held myself back from jumping on top of him and giving him a huge bear hug. Instead I held out my hand, "Hi Harry! I'm Alice. It's really great to meet you!"
When Harry took my hand the rings he wore felt cold against my fingers, sending a tingling feeling up my hand. My hand was so much smaller than his it felt weird as he held mine.
"Hello beautiful. It's nice to meet you too." He said with a cheeky grin on his face. I blushed. HARRY STYLES JUST CALLED MY BEAUTIFUL. I will probably never shut up tonight when I talk to Mckenzie about today.
Ashton came next to me when Harry released my hand. "Hey Harry, nice to see you again mate."
"Same to you bro." Harry replied.
Ashton slung his arm lazily around my shoulder. His torso leaned up against mine like I was a wall. I struggled to keep both of us up right.
"Are you two a couple?" Harry asked bluntly pointing to us.
My eyes widened. "No! We're just friends." I quickly responded. Harry nodded slowly.
"Hey guys!" Luke yelled, "Let's go back to the beach and then finish introducing ourselves."
Everyone began to walk in a glob outside to the beach. Now that the resort walls sheltered us from all the crazed paparazzi we were able to walk freely.
I stood between Mckenzie and Calum. It was awkwardly quiet until Louis jumped in front of me. He shot his hand out for me to take. "I'm Louis Tomlinson. What's your name?" He spoke quickly. He had a goofy smirk on his face.
I widely smiled. "Nice to meet ya Louis. I'm Alice."
He walked backwards still in front of me. "Alice?" I nodded, "I'm going to call you Allie." He said this more as a statement than a question.
"I like that!" I smiled.
He nodded. "Good." He then turned to one of the boys, "Hey Zayn come meet Allie!"
A beautiful black haired boy approached us. His arms were covered in ink. I couldn't believe I was shaking hands with Zayn Malik. "Hi Zayn. I'm Alice." I said calmly.
He smiled, "Hey Allie."
I interrupted, "It's just Alice."
"Just Alice?" He raised his eyebrows, "I don't think that's what Lou thinks." He laughed. I shrugged and continued walking. My cheeks reddened when Louis began to skip around singing my name.
"Is he always like this?" I asked Zayn.
As he laughed Liam jumped next to me and answered my question, "Always. He's a pain in the ass."
I laughed when Louis shouted, "Hey! I can hear you! And I have feelings!" He pretended to cry making me laugh harder.
"Stop laughing at me Allie!" Louis stamped his foot making sand explode around his feet. I bent over and shook my head, not able to quit laughing.
"Niall!" Louis called, "Help me with her!" Niall nodded and trudged towards me.
Immediately I stopped laughing. My eyes widened. "What're you doing!" I exclaimed when Niall threw me over his shoulder. "OH MY GOD NO!" I screamed as he began to walk towards the water, "I've already been thrown in once today, Niall, please not again!"
He dropped me in knee deep water. I screamed before the water submerged me. My green dress inflated around me.
When I came up Niall was already sprinting back to the beach. I chased after him, but I was slower since my drenched clothes were heavy.
"NIALL!" I screamed before catching up to him and shoving him into the water.
He laughed loudly as he sat in the water, splashing it around. I was not satisfied as I watched him giggle and swim around the water like a toddler.
I turned and shuffled back to the beach. My eyes narrowed. "C'mon Allie! It was just a joke!" Louis called from the top of the beach.
I stuck my tongue out at him and then an idea popped into my head. I brightened as I returned to the group, "You're right, no harm done." I said.
Louis seemed relieved as he sighed. Then I walked up to him, "Sorry if I looked mad." I tried to say as innocently as possible.
He shook his head, "It's okay love." I grinned then hugged him tightly, drenching him in salt water. He gasped when I pulled away and he was dripping wet.
"That's it!" Louis yelled as he chased me down the beach. I screamed loudly as I sprinted ahead, running back towards the resort.
