“Wellington! Man, I haven’t been here in ages!” I say as the six of us step off the plane and walk towards the Wellington airport terminal to collect our bags.
“I’ve never been here.” Says Liam and the rest of the boys nod in agreement.
“Well it’s a pretty cool place, it can get a bit windy though!” I chuckle, looking out the window of the corridor we are walking down and seeing the grass around the airport blowing a bit.
“Nothing we can’t handle!” says Niall and we all smile at him.
The short walk to collect our bags is uneventful, but nothing prepared me for what would happen when we stepped into the main terminal.
“THEY’RE HERE!” a group of girls shout at us, and thats when the chaos starts.
Luckily Wellington had expected this would happen, and there were lots of guards and barriers so the girls couldn’t get at us. The boys stop to take a few photos and sign a few things and I manage to slip through, unnoticed. I don’t really want anyone to start asking questions about me.
Soon enough we’ve all collected our bags, and are driving towards the hotel where the boys will be staying for the next few days, and from the looks of it, I think I’m staying there too.
“Hotel sweet hotel.” Harry sighs as the six of us step off an elevator onto the floor of the hotel we are staying on.
The crowd of girls around the place was unbelievable and I feel really sorry for the other people staying here.
It seems the boys booked me a suite next to theirs which was a little smaller, because I didn’t need five bedrooms, only one, so they leave me to get settled in.
“Wow.” I mutter as I swipe the key card to open my rooms door, the place is amazing, very modern and simple but still comfy looking.
I head into my bedroom and set my bag down on the huge double bed then decide to head into the main room and make myself a hot chocolate.
As I wait for the jug to boil I hear voices and spin around to see where they are coming from.
Wait, they must be coming from next door, wow the walls here aren’t very sound proof, and those guys are talking pretty loud.
I can’t help but listen in as I make my hot chocolate, but I instantly regret what I hear.
“Yay! I love hotels!”
“Good for you Niall, good for you.”
“Louis why are you looking so, uh, glum, or something?”
“Huh? What? No! I’m fine, how could you think that?”
“Because when we usually enter a new hotel room you run around up and down the halls and jump on elevators with strangers and stuff. And right now you are just sitting here with a cup of tea staring at the T.V.”
“Oh, uh, I just wanted a change Harry, long flight I guess.”
“Lou, the flight was only about an hour long.”
“Oh, really? It felt longer.”
“Lou, you can tell me anything, I’m your best mate, and the rest of the boys are unpacking or in the shower or something.”
“I don’t know Haz, I really don’t know.”
“It’s her isn’t it.”
“What? No! I mean, yeah.”
“Whats wrong?”
“I don’t know, she’s just so-”
I stop listening then, I now know that I’m the one bringing Louis down, for reasons I can’t explain. I head into my room and lie face down on the bed, covering my head with the fluffy white pillows, I really need some down time.
What am I going to do, I’m here, in Wellington, with One Direction, all the guys seem nice, but I seem to be annoying Louis a little or something, and the main problem, I’m twenty, so I really need to find a job or something, before these boys leave.
I continue to lay there, feeling sorry for myself, which is something fifteen year old me would do, twenty year old me probably should be more mature about it.
Whatever, I need ice-cream and a chick flick.
But before I can get up to order some ice-cream I hear the sound of footsteps in the room and then someone comes to sit on the bed with me.
“You alright Aria?” they ask.
“Yeah! I was just testing out these pillows, uh how did you get in?” I reply.
“You left you door open a little.” They reply, and I hear them chuckle.
“Oh.” I sit up, “Hey Niall.”
“Hey there, so, what do you want to do before the concert tonight?” he asks.
“I really don’t mind, you boys just do what you want to do, it’s your tour, not mine.” I reply, shrugging my shoulders.
“Well then, shall we go look around town?” he asks.
“Sure, sounds fun! I haven’t been here since few years ago, but I do know all about the shops, and last time I was here there was a great ice-cream shop on the waterfront!
“Lets go then!” Niall says, and I jump up and grab my phone and wallet before heading out into the hallway with him.
“BOYS, WE’RE GOING TO TOWN! WHO WANT’S TO COME?” Niall shouts into his room and I hear a chorus of ‘COMING!’ and the other four boys dash out of the room to join us in the hallway.
Once inside the elevator they all slip on a pair of sunnies and I raise my eyebrows at them.
“Seriously? It’s not even that sunny.” I say to them.
“Disguises.” They all reply in unison.
“They won’t work you know, I’m a directioner and I would recognize all of you just like that.” I say and snap my fingers for added effect.
“Oh well, they still look cool.” Zayn says and I smile at him.
With the help of a few bodyguards we manage to get around town without being mauled to death, and now the five of us are in my favorite store, Forever New.
The guys are really surprising me because as soon as we entered the store they each picked out two dresses for me to try on and they aren’t complaining about it at all unlike most guys, which to me is a miracle.
“Who’s dress are you trying on first Aria?” Harry asks from the other side of the thick curtain that I’m getting changed in, yeah the cubicles are huge curtains all around you, it looks really awesome.
“Uh, no idea Harry.” I reply, zipping up the dress, its bright red with cut out at the front and a skirt that flares out from the waist. The boys hadn’t told me who had chosen each dress, so I was pretty clueless.
“Ok, I’m ready!” I say, pulling back the curtain.
All the boys are staring wide eyed at me.
“What?” I ask.
“Thats hot. And I chose that one.” Says Harry, getting straight to the point.
“Uh, thanks!” I say, and do a spin for them, then I head back in to get changed into my next dress.
Eight dresses later which have ranged from blue floaty numbers, to tight black dresses, it’s time for the last dress.
It’s a nautical look, the dress is dark blue with a scoop neck and it flares out from the waste a little falling just above my knee, the bottom of the skirt has a thick yellow band, then a white band, followed by a smaller yellow band to finish off and I absolutely adore it.
“Lets see the last dress Aria!” Niall calls out and I pull back the curtain.
“What do you guys think?” I ask, doing a spin to make the skirt fly out.
“That’s the one.” Liam says, and all the boys nod in agreement.
“I really love it, whichever one of you picked it out. Thanks!” I say, and head back to get changed back into my normal clothes.
It’s only when I step out of the changing room that I notice the price. $125
“Aww, shoot.” I mutter, pulling out my wallet, I only had $40 birthday money left from the concert.
“Whats up Aria?” asks Harry, as the boys all stare curiously at me.
“Uh nothing, this is just a little out of my price range, I really need to get a job, uh, how about we go to a cheaper shop so I can get a $20 dress.” I say and all the boys grin.
“We’ll buy it for you!” they say.
“NO NO NO! Don’t waste your money on me! You’ve already gotten me flights and accommodation! I don’t need anything else!” I protest, but the boys have already grabbed the dress from me and are fighting over who is paying for it at the counter, to the surprise of the attendant.
“Sorry about this.” I say sheepishly as I walk over to them.
Once we’re out of Forever New the five of them insist on getting em a new wardrobe since I’m not fifteen anymore, and we head to Lippy, Wild Pair, Dotti, Glassons, Levi’s, Esprit, Void, YSL, even Chanel and a bunch of other shops before we head to the gourmet ice-cream shop on the waterfront and watch the sea whilst we sit on the wharf and eat our yummy frozen treats.
“This is so yummy.” Niall says with a mouthful of strawberry and coconut sorbet. You could choose which flavors you wanted to have together and Niall and I had chosen the same thing, whilst the other boys had gotten mints and chocolates and stuff.
They all tasted amazing though.
“Thank you so much guys, this day has been amazing, probably the best day of my life.” I say to them and they all grin at me.
“Hug?” I ask and we share a group hug.
Just then Liam’s phone goes off, and after talking for a few seconds he put his phone back in his pocket and looks up at all of us.
“Guys, we need to get to the concert venue now for sound check.” He says.
“Can Aria come?” Harry asks.
“Don’t see why not, do you want to come?” Liam ask me and I nod.
“It’s all set then, lets go!”
