"So Natasha, who are you most excited to meet?" Karen questioned me as we drove to the hotel. The flight had gone pretty quickly and we had just gotten into the taxi.

To be honest, I wasn't as obsessed with One Direction as other girls but they were still one of my favourite bands. I was more of a 5SOS girl. Luke was adorable and definitely my favourite. I wondered if I would get a chance at meeting him. That would truly be the best day of my life.

Out of the 1D boys though, Harry topped my list. Although he didn't have me screaming and crying like almost of his fans, he was definitely my favourite.

"Harry's okay I guess," I replied, trying to keep my cool, "Do you think 5SOS will be there?"

"Haven't you heard? They are opening for all of the UK and America shows and will probably be hanging around in Australia whilst were down there too" Karen smiled and I knew she could feel all of the excitement buzzing off of me.

We soon reached the hotel and checked in. The hotel was absolutely stunning. Gold engraving stretched across the ceiling adorned with multiple chandeliers hanging down. I gasped at the beauty that lay before me. The team had given us a room here but weren't able to arrange a room in the same hotel as the rest of the crew and the boys. I could only imagine what their accommodation looked like...

Karen swiped the key and opened the door. Inside the light had already been switched on and there was a hat laying on one of the beds. Was someone in here?

"Erm are you sure this is our room?" I asked my Aunt.

Before she replied a tall figure with dark hair jumped out from behind the curtain in front of us. I screamed and reached out or my Aunt but I was completely shocked to see my Aunt quickly relax and hug the man, laughing. What was going on?

The man looked up at me and my breathing stopped. In our room was Louis Tomlinson. THE Louis Tomlinson.

"Oh my goodness," I said under my breath as a smiled spread over my face. Before I knew what I was doing I was hugging him tight as he chuckled into my hair.

"Is this real?! Are you actually in our room? I can't believe this is happening!" I gushed as he stared at me with his small green eyes.

"Yep it's really me. Sorry I didn't realise Karen had someone coming with her, I just like to play pranks on her whenever there's a tour or concert," He chuckled. I was still in shock from meeting him so suddenly.

"That's Louis for you, now let me go get my stuff from downstairs and we can start on your hair for tonight," Karen laughed and quickly exited the room.

"Tonight? What's happening tonight?" I asked Louis. Surely there wasn't a concert straight away.

"Were having a welcome dinner to start off the tour. You guys were the last to come into Ireland so the dinner is today. Karen would have killed me if she missed it" He replied.

I quickly decided I liked Louis, he was so much more open than I had expected him to and I'm always up for a few pranks. But no one told me about this dinner. What was I going to wear? My hair was still in a mess. Wait, was I even invited? Louis interrupted my thoughts with a few questions of his own.

"So I didn't realise Karen was bringing anyone along with her, what's your name love?" He smiled and gave me a cheesy wink that had me in giggles straight away.

"Natasha or you could call Tash"

"Cool. So are you like friends with her or something?" he asked with his eyes glued onto his phone.

"No she's my Aunt but it's kind of supposed to stay a secret. She has this thing about looking young in front of all you guys," I explained to him. Louis' head quickly snapped up as he took in what I just told him.

"Her?! An Aunt? Well thanks to you Tash I have something wonderful to tease her about," Louis said with a smirk on his face.

The door opened and Karen rolled in with one of her small suitcase that had Louis' name on it. So these guys had their own little hair and makeup suitcases, wow.

"Complete diva right?" Karen quickly read my thoughts and then mocked Louis.

"Oh whatever Aunty Karen," Louis shot back.

"Tash! What did you tell him?!" Karen screamed as Louis' head rolled back with laughter. I simply shrugged then laughed along with my new tour bestie.

"Just for that I'm not taking you to the dinner with me, it was going to be a surprise but not now" She tried to act annoyed with me but I knew it wouldn't last for long.

After we teased her a little more, we decided it was time to get ready for the dinner. I went into the bathroom and straightened my hair that had frizzed out in the plane whilst Karen worked on Louis' signature look. Once she was done she fixed herself up and then worked on my makeup. She applied some makeup to give my face more colour and brushed over my cheeks with a peach blusher. After some mascara and eyeliner she was pleased with her work. I picked out a small white dress that fell above my knees and had little buttons along the long sleeves.

"You guys look great," Louis smiled and gave us a wolf whistle. He looked pretty good too with some skinny black jeans, and a white button down shirt. Karen wore a slightly longer black dress that had short sleeves.

We left the hotel and drove over to the restaurant that had been booked out for the whole crew. Suddenly it hit me that I would be meeting the rest of One Direction and a whole load of other important people for the first time. My heart began to pound against my chest as the car came to a stop and we walked into a small but elegant Italian restaurant.

Inside the atmosphere was much calmer than I and expected. For some reason I thought we would be walking into a party filled with bodies but there were only about twenty people sat around a long white brown table quietly chatting. My eyes quickly darted around the room looking for any famous faces. Karen quickly grabbed me by the arm and led me over to the rest of the group. They all looked up and I immediately recognised a couple of faces.

Niall, Liam, Zayn but where was Harry?

"I hope you all missed me," Karen beamed at the table and a few laughs and hellos emerged from the group, "This is my lovely friend Natasha who will be joining us on the tour to see what the amazing life of a hair and makeup artist is like."

A few more chuckles could be heard and I received a couple of waves. I noted how she called me her friend and me and Louis giggled together under our breath. I turned back to wave but saw the 1D boys get up from their seats and walk over here.

I couldn't believe this. One Direction coming up to me. I seriously had to thank my Aunt for this later. Louis introduced me to all of the boys and they all gave me quick hugs. They were all so welcoming and were excited to have a new member join them for the tour. After I chatted with them I realised Harry still wasn't around.

We took our seats and ordered our meals. A space had been left opposite me. Maybe Harry was running late. I excused myself to go to the bathroom whilst the others waited for their meals. On the way back from the bathroom I decided to text Romeo to give him an update. As I texted a quick message out to him my body collided with someone. My phone slipped out of my hand but a large hand saved it from hitting the ground.

"Here you go" a deep voice said, holding out my phone. I took it from the hand then looked up to thank them.

My eyes met with a pair of green eyes that shone down on me like emeralds. I took in his features then realised I was now face to face with him.

Harry Styles.

"Thank you" my voice came out like a quiet squeak as he smiled at me.

"No problem. I'm Harry," he extended his hand out to me and gave me another warm smile.

"Tash" I replied and took his hand in mine. As our fingers touched my stomach flipped over. He gave my hand a firm shake then walked over to the men's bathroom leaving me in complete shock.
