Chapter 17

It’s Friday Night and getting ready for tonight, apparently the venue is a bit bigger, which is good for the boys but not so much me but tonight’s not about me, it’s about the boys.

I walk over to my closet and pick out a black skater skirt which stops mid-thigh, white long sleeve midriff and to top it off stockings that are black up to knees, then above the knee its skin colour with black bows going up the back of my thighs.

I put on my clothes and go to the bathroom to do my make-up, I decide to straighten my hair and leave it down. Sticking with my signature look I put on some foundation and do smoky eyes, I’m not a fan of lip-gloss, it’s too shiny.

Matt isn’t coming tonight, can’t remember why so Mia and I are just gonna walk, which is okay since it’s only a ten minute walk.

‘Mia you ready?’ I shout from the bedroom door

‘Yeah, just one sec’

While I wait I go put on my black heels and grab my bag with my keys phone and wallet in it, I think that’s all I need.

I hear Mia’s door shut, so I head outside.

Mia’s wearing a pale blue, long-sleeved playsuit and white pumps, she looks really nice; she always does.

We leave the apartment excited for tonight; I didn’t tell Mia what Harry told me about the song he wrote for me because I know Mia would make a big fuss over it.

Before I know it were outside The Ritz, where the boys will be playing, it’s also a pub/bistro like the other one but this one is a bit fancier. Word must have gotten around about them.

As Mia and I go inside Chelsea, Tim, Liam and Sophia are already sitting down at a table while Harry and Niall are setting up.

We walk up to the table and say hi to everyone, but I can’t keep my eyes off of Harry, he’s wearing a black and white print button-up shirt with black jeans, his boots and a head scarf.

 I’ve never seen him wear one before, but he should wear it more often.

He sees me staring at him, so he walks over to me.

‘Hello’ he says with a grin

‘Hey, superstar’ he chuckles and gives me a hug, ‘I’ve already met some of your friends, they seem cool.’

‘Yeah they are, Rick’s still coming, though he’s always late so…’

He looks around and frowns ‘where’s Matt?’

‘He had something on’

Harry frowns even more, Is there something wrong? ‘What’ I ask

‘If I knew you couldn’t get a lift, I would’ve picked you up. Both of you shouldn’t be walking around by yourselves wearing that’

‘Harry its fine, besides it’s not even five yet’

Harry starts walking towards Niall but he turns to face me and points ‘you tell me if you need a lift next time yeah?’

I nod and he smiles ‘good’

I slightly chuckle and go to sit down at the table, next to Liam.

It’s almost a full house when the boys start performing

Niall taps the microphone before speaking ‘Hey, uhh, thanks for coming tonight. I see a few familiar faces which is always nice to see. Anyway I hope you enjoy us performing just as much as we do, this first one is Fireproof’
