Intro
*this story takes place over a time of 6-7 months*

It was a sunny afternoon and I was on my way to the Coldplay concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Listening to one of my favorites off their new album, Ghost Stories, I was getting ready to hear it live. I had bought my tickets two months early, and I couldn't wait. I hadn't been this happy since I moved here. Even better not only did I get AMAZING tickets, I received backstage passes. I was going to meet the guys. Who knows what could happen. I mean, I'm going to meet Jonny, and Guy and Will... and oh my god. Chris. That's all I really care about. Meeting him. The god of all men. The chiseled jaw line, curly hair, blue eyes, a voice made of silk... he was a sex icon in my eyes. A big one. A crush for life.

Chapter 1

"Clear your pockets! Phones and wallets in the basket!"

I walked through the scanners and then politely asked for a female security guard. I didn't want to felt up by a man. Through the corner of my eye while she was feeling my pockets, and everything else on my body, I saw the merchandise stand with the new concert t-shirts and quickly made my way over. Excited to buy the new Ghost Stories True Love tee and slip it over my old Mylo Xyloto, I pushed through the crowd. Practically throwing my money at the pour woman, I ran to the bathrooms to change. Down the hall and next to the big double doors is where my special night would begin. Like a portal I was instantly transformed into a massive ball of adrenaline and energy.
Though I was having the time of my life, I felt kind of lonely by myself, and there weren't too many people there. It's not a stadium, just a little theatre. I waited about twenty minutes before they let me into the theatre to find my front row, exclusive seats which I had been saving up for since the last MX concert in 12'. The theatre started to slowly fill up, and the show was about to start.

The lights dimmed and they started playing they're classic opera music as you could see their silhouettes slowly appear. Finally, there he was. Right in front of me. Not even 6 feet. The fucking legend. It's like I could feel the heat come off his body and his eyes rake mine. I had front row at MX, but It wasn't ever this close. Just think... afterwards, I'm going to be touching him.
Ok. That sounded creepy.
Not too far away I saw his wife, or ex wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. With a few friends. Usual. She'd be damned seen alone and she wasn't too enthused. I don't really think she cared. That isn't my business and really, Chris' "Mrs. Know it all ex-wife" is the last thing I'm thinking about. All I could think about was how that bitch could break a man's heart like that. Exceptionally Chris'.
I've been waiting years for this and on my grave will anyone ruin it. My life really hasn't been going well lately. I recently lost a friend and a family member of mine. When I moved away from family, I never knew how lonely it could really get. I wasn't busy with my job yet and I spent a lot of time alone. Not only that, but there hasn't been much to look forward to, except for this. Right now, this moment, is a big deal for me. I had the best time in my premium seats. Chris came over and smiled at me and touched my shoulder twice. He looked into my eyes and it felt as if the whole world stopped. Maybe I was passing out. Having a heart attack or just dying in the presence of his extreme sexiness.

The two hours went by faster than I thought, but I couldn't wait to go backstage. I guess I was the only one who paid for it because the security guard came over and grabbed only me. By the time I was back there, everyone else had already dispersed and went back out the double- doors in the back. So really, it was just Workers, Me, and the guys, and I couldn't be happier. He lead me down a hallway and to a door that said, "Coldplay Dressing Room", in big bold letters.

The world stopped spinning, my heart started beating, and sparks flew in the air as he turned the doorknob and held my hand, walking me in the room no larger than my own at home. There they were. There HE was. Chris was changing his shirt, Will and Guy were sitting on the couch playing Xbox and Jonny was quietly chatting with Chris. Then, they all looked at me... Everything was still and they were all smiling. I was shaking and couldn't believe I was here. Jonny walked forward and took my hand, pulling me towards the guys laughing and introducing me to every one.

I heard a rustling behind me while I was chatting with Guy.
"You were great out there."

"Well, I wasn't the one playing the music."

"Our fans are just as much part of the concert than we are. I'm Chris. You probably already knew that...."

"Christopher Anthony John Martin. The man. I'm Katie, big fan and I'd love to get to know you... More than I already do.

Jonny made a cat whistle from behind us.

"Looks like you got an admirer Chris. How bout' we take her out to dinner. It's only the proper thing to do for a lady.", said Jonny.

"You know what? That sounds great. Let me just get my jacket out of my bag and we can all get in the car and go."

Wow, not only am like literally just feet away from Chris Martin, but he's taking me out to dinner! I guess what my friend told me was right. "Flirt with him a bit! He's single and ready to mingle.." I had to think about it a bit before actually doing it... but there was no hesitation when I saw him. The pick up line really just kinda... Slipped out. Plus, I don't really count it as flirting... It was more of a "statement." I heard the familiar deep voice come up behind me while I was talking to Jonny...

"Alright, we all ready to go guys?", Chris said.

All the guys answered and in a firm nod.

"Ok then, follow me sweetheart..."
