#47: How You Meet

Louis: It had been a terrible morning. Your alarm clock didn’t go off, making you late for a job interview. They weren’t impressed when you showed up twenty minutes after they were expecting you. You were sure they weren’t going to stay in contact with you so you decided to cheer yourself up with some Starbucks. You ordered your usual; a caramel frapp, and waited for them to make it. The barista called out your drink and you went to get it when a tap on your shoulder stopped you. “I believe that’s mine miss.” You turned around to tell him off when you realized it was none other than Louis Tomlinson. Your inner fan girl was screaming but you decided to keep your cool. “I think I was in line first,” you shot back. “Sassy,” Louis commented making you roll your eyes. “You’re the one to talk,” you mumbled as you retrieved your drink. “Wait!” you turned around to see Louis walking up to you. “I know that the drink is yours. I just needed to find a way to talk to you. My name’s Louis,” he stuck out his hand and you gladly shook it. “(Y/N),” you said, giving him a smile. 

Liam: “Wait up!” you called out to your neighbor’s kid whom you were babysitting. “I’m going to find the Toy Story aisle!” he called out as he ran away from you. He was bouncing off the walls at home, begging to be taken out somewhere. You sighed in frustration and picked up your pace, not wanting to lose him in this huge Toys-R-Us. But he was on a sugar rush and you soon lost sight of him. Panicking, you tapped a stranger on his back asking, “Hey do you know where the Toy Story aisle is? I lost-“ you were cut off when Liam Payne turned around raising his eyebrows at you. “I actually did see a kid running down that way,” he pointed further down the store. “Come on, I’ll show you the way.” You followed him and sure enough there was your neighbor’s kid, eyeing a Woody doll. Liam bent down to his level and said, “Hey there, I see you like Toy Story too. I’m quite a fan myself.” You laughed as they made conversation. Liam stood back up and smiled at you. “Thanks for helping me find him. I’m (Y/N).” 

Harry: You were outside the venue, tapping away at your iPhone. Your friend had taken you to a Coldplay concert but had decided to disappear once the show ended. Everyone had already gone home and the remaining people left were in the process of finding their car. But here you were, trying desperately to get a hold of her; she was your ride here. You tried calling her again but it went to voicemail. You waited to hear the beep before saying, “(Y/F/N) if you don’t answer the phone right now I’ll… Well I’ll… I don’t know what I’ll do!” You were frustrated and started pacing around. “Just please pick up. It’s late, cold, and I’m tired. I have no-“ you were bumped from behind, making you lose the handle on your phone. You winced as you heard it come in contact with the ground. “Oh shit,” you heard a voice say as you bent down to pick it up. “’Oh shit’ is right,” you mumbled as you checked your phone for any scratches. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. I wasn’t looking-“ “It’s fine,” you cut him off. You took a better look at him and saw who it was. “Wait a second. Harry Styles? As in-“ “Yes, One Direction.” You shook your head, smiling at him, “No as in the boy who’s obsessed with pussy… cats.” He gave you a cheeky smile in return, “Yeah I guess that’s me. What’s your name love?” You managed to keep your blush under control and replied with, “I’m (Y/N).” 

Niall: After finally finishing a project for school you decided to treat yourself to some Nandos. It was pretty late for dinner so you expected it to be empty. But sure enough you were standing in line behind five hooded figures who were bickering. You thought nothing of it and decided to be civilized and wait patiently behind them. But soon enough your stomach was growling and you were getting cranky. They continued to squabble until you finally decided to speak up, “Excuse me.” They didn’t hear you so you decided to step it up a notch, “EXCUSE ME.” They all stopped mid-sentence and turned to you. You were shocked to see none other than One Direction staring at you with innocent looks on their faces. But right now, you were too tired and hungry to fan girl. “I just want my double breasted chicken wrap and peri chips. It’s been a long night and-“ You were cut off when Niall stepped up and said, “Exactly what I was thinking love. Don’t mind us we were just messing around anyways. Now step aside lads, let the lovely lady order.” They all snickered but Niall smiled at you and made room for you to order. You smiled sweetly at Niall and ended up having dinner with them. But before the night ended you and Niall decided to exchange numbers. 

Zayn: No one really supported your idea in getting a tattoo so you were forced to go to the tattoo parlor alone. As soon as you stepped in the place you were intimidated. But you wanted to go through with it so you mustered up your remaining courage and you were now waiting for an artist to come and help you. You were beyond nervous as you sat in the chair, twirling your hair and looking around every now and then. “Don’t be nervous.” You looked up from your hair and saw that Zayn Malik was looking at you with a smirk on his face from across the room. There weren’t any other customers around so it was easy to hold a conversation with him. “Who said I was nervous,” you tried to come off as brave but Zayn saw right through it. “First tattoo?” he questioned and you nodded and looked down at your lap. “You’ll be fine,” he assured you. Before you could say anything the tattoo artist had approached you, asking you about your design. You explained it to him and he began the process. To your pleasure, it wasn’t as bad as you thought it was going to be and you were happy with your new tattoo. Just as you were about to leave Zayn grabbed your arm and asked for your name. You smiled at him and told him, along with your number.
