One Direction's Cabbie

Ch. 5

I woke up at 9am to a string of texts from my best friend from college, Haley. We're meeting up in LA to celebrate her 21st birthday tonight! That's one thing that sucks about becoming best friends with someone in college. We don't exactly live close to each other so it's hard to meet up during school breaks. 

"YOU READY TO GET ABSOLUTELY STUPID DRUNK TONIGHT!?!?" She sent.

Each.

As.

Separate.

Texts.

 However, as excited as I was, I still wasn't fully recovered from last nights events. 

"AAHHH SO STOKED! HAPPY BIRTHDAAYYY" I groggily typed back.

I groaned as I dragged myself out of bed to go make breakfast. To my surprise, Natalie was also awake and was sitting at the kitchen table sipping on her coffee and typing furiously on her phone.

"Oh hi Nat, I'm surprised you're up already."

"I have to tell every single person I know about last night! I still cannot believe we actually met One Direction!" 

"I know... Too bad we didn't ask for a picture or something." I commented while popping a k-cup into the coffee maker. I almost never drink coffee, but I felt like I definitely needed it today.

"GOD I KNOW! I just didn't even think about it. I think I was in shock or something. Why didn't you ask for it? You didn't seem to have any issues talking to them. Especiiallyy Liam!" She teased.

"He is a cutie isn't he! Obviously, I knew they were hot from pictures, but seeing them in person-- now I really get the hype!" I confessed.

"Okay, okay-- but which one is your favorite?" She inquired, leaning towards me in anticipation. 

Apparently, you can tell a lot about someone's personality based on who their favorite 1D member is. There are probably 1,000's of Buzzfeed quizes on that subject alone. So I tried to give it a decent amount of thought, based on our conversations last night and how attractive they are, before giving her my answer.

"Hmm... I think Harry might be my favorite," I couldn't help but blush when I remembered his adorable smile and wild, curly locks. "I think I had the best banter with him. Honestly, there were moments when I forgot he was a celebrity. It just felt like I was talking to one of my friends."

"Yah I noticed and I'm so jealous. I wish I had the guts to talk to Niall like that."

"Well now you know and can practice for when we taxi them around next time!" I joked.

"Ha. ha. If only." She responded dryly.

I grabbed my coffee and returned to my room to start packing for tonight. We are meeting at our hotel for the night to drop off our stuff, finish getting ready and pre-game, and then we're going to uber to whatever clubs Haley already has planned out. I'm just glad she did the planning and all I have to do is show up, follow her around and have a good time! Tonight is going to be so much fun, I can feel it!
