The reality has finally sunken in. Here I am with my best friend, standing front row at the concert of our favourite boyband- GMD3. Having fallen in love with the band for so long, finally I’m able to see them perform right in front of my eyes. It feels so surreal.

We sway and jump with their music along with everyone else in the crowd, as I catch myself staring at Dan most the time, marveling at his every movement on stage. I smile to myself at the thought of being touching distance away from my celebrity crush.

For a brief second, we make eye contact. He flashes a perfect smile, seemingly at me, and carries on singing.

The song finishes and the crowd erupts into cheers and screams.

“This is the last one for the night…and we’re gonna change it up a bit.” Dan says to the crowd as the cheering dies down.

“I wanna bring one of you up here to sing to,” he continues, triggering the crowd as everyone started to exclaim hoping to be picked.

Then caught by surprise, my eyes lock into Dan’s again. He flashes a smile before nodding his head signalling for me to go up on stage.

I feel my heart rate increase dramatically, as everyone’s eyes seemed fixed on me now. I feel my friend giving me an encouraging nudge on my shoulder, snapping me out of my shocked state.

“Come on,” Dan winks at me. I feel my cheeks flush red, smiling shyly back at him.

I make my way up onstage. I have no idea what’s going on, but the thought of knowing I’ll be even closer to the boys makes me excited.

“Hello babe, what’s your name?” Dan asks me enthusiastically as I reach him.

“Nicole,” I reply shyly, a smile strectching from ear to ear as he pulls me in for a tight hug, before passing me over to Greg for a hug, and likewise with Micky.

They start singing one of their original songs I quickly recognise- ‘Pretty Girl’. Being the shy person I am, my eyes trail down at the floor as I smile widely.

I feel an arm wrap around my waist, and I look up to meet Dan’s eyes, as he sings to me.

I bite my lip, trying to suppress the wide grin on my face.

They finish singing and the venue fills with screams again, as I make my way back to my spot, trying to take in all that just happened.

I keep my eyes locked on Dan, still completely in shock from the fact he was singing to me.

“Aaah! That was amazing! You’re so lucky! What was it like? Oh, and you and Dan look SO cute together,” my friend spills out in excitement, as we wait for everyone else behind us to file out of the venue.

Suddenly I feel a slight tap on my shoulder, and I turn around to find one of the security guards in front of me.

Confused, my friend and I look up at him questioningly.

“Dan wants you backstage Nicole,” he says.

Wait…Did I hear him right? Did he just say Dan wants to see me backstage? Why me, out of everyone?

“Ooooh,I think Dan fancies you,” my friend teases beside me, nudging me on.

“You’re coming with me,” I state firmly, not wanting her to miss out on an opportunity of meeting the boys.

“No, I can’t. Mum’s outside waiting and she’ll be pissed if I stayed longer,” she says with a sad expression on her face. “But you have fun! I’m looking forward to hearing about it,” she winks at me.

We embrace in a hug before she leaves the venue.

My attention snaps back to the security guard who had been standing here waiting for us to finish our conversation. He leads me backstage, and I feel the butterflies in my stomach.

“Nicole!” Dan greets me warmly as he approaches me.

“Hey Dan,” I smile shyly as he pulls me in for a long hug. “The concert was amazing!” I continue, more confidently now.

“Glad you enjoyed it,” he winks at me.

“So why’d you want me backstage anyway Dan?” I ask curiously.

“I just wanted to see you again and get to know you better,” he says with a smile.

“But…why me?” I ask, still shocked.

“There’s just something different about you. You’re not like any other girl I’ve met, and you’re beautiful,”

I feel the blood rush to my cheeks, as I find myself captivated by his soft brown eyes.

We spend the next half an hour cracking jokes to each other, and getting to know each other.

“I better be calling a taxi to get home now, it’s getting late. Thanks for the amazing night Dan,” I say as our conversation dies down.

He grabs me by the wrist, causing me to freeze on the spot.

“I can drive you home,” he offers.

“No, it’s alright Dan, I wouldn’t want to bother you,” I say sincerely.

“I insist, the pleasure’s all mine,” he grins.

I give in to his sweet gesture quickly.

We reach my front door and our eyes interlock, as I absorb in the fact I spent a whole night with the one and only Dan Ferrari- Lane. He asks for my number, and I gladly give it to him.

“Thanks for everything,” I say now, leaning in to give him a kiss on the cheek.

I watch his face light up with happiness. “I’ll see you soon,” he says as we embrace in one last hug, before I walk into the house, trying to recollect everything that happened today. It was perfect.
