Didn’t sleep at all last night, my excitement for the 1D signing has gotten to my head. Oh yes I am that fan, the crazy one who wants to make out w all the guys of 1D and marry them ha. Ive got the infection BAD! So time comes for us gals to go wait in line for the signing, it’s like 5 a.m. in LA and the 5 of us are running off of energy drinks, junk food and adrenaline. Sleep doesn’t exist or matter right now. 1D is it! We are waiting in line playing music and cards and dancing and starting sing alongs w all the other girls in line. We are maybe 25 ppl back from the front of the line, so it’s perfect. The time passes and the guys’ bus arrives. The boys get settled in and do their thing. To avoid us from hyperventilating we start dancing and singing to distract ourselves.

That worked so well that when we stopped singing and dancing to ‘Tell Me A Lie’ I turned around to see I am 2 girls away from the guys’ tables. I noticed suddenly Niall was grinning in my direction from ear to ear. I was captivated by his breathtaking eyes and heart melting smile and found myself grinning like a kid at Disneyland.

I couldn’t help but hope that his blushing was because our eyes met for a moment. Niall was so captivated by something in my direction, which I of course wanted to be me, he forgot he was supposed to be signing posters. It seemed everyone but Niall and I noticed that he was holding up the process. Paul finally tapped Niall and reminded him of his duties. Zayn leaned over to say something to Niall when suddenly I noticed he was pointing at me. I raised a quizzical flirty eyebrow and smiled as he nodded in reply.

It took my whole body strength to contain the craziness that was welling up inside. I even stopped breathing and tried to think of something depressing to calm my insides down. When Niall caught me looking at him in a daze he blushed and looked down quickly. Zayn laughed and waved at me then nudged Harry with his elbow. They both began waving at me, to embarrass Niall. My friend Vicky noticed this and shoved me forward with a girly giggle.

I’m glad she did, I couldn’t get myself to move towards him. Fear, panic and excitement caused an unnerving silence around me. When I finally got the breath to approach the table Niall stood up to greet me. When I went to hand him my poster he grabbed my hand and pulled me across the table. He got me as close as possible, it was sudden and surprising but I found my lips sinking into his perfect kiss.

Time stopped, as did my heart. Suddenly all I heard was silence. It was just me and him. Our lips fit together perfectly. My heart began to jump from my chest it was beating with such an unfamiliar intensity. Then as soon as it began our lips parted. Paul pulled Niall back across the table and slammed him back into his chair. I stood in confused astonishment. All I knew was my heart stopped, it was silence.

Niall ripped from Paul’s grip and came to get my name. I couldn’t speak, I stood there like a complete idiot for a few seconds till I felt someone touch my shoulder. Vicky was the friend who wanted me to meet Niall as bad as I did. She wasn’t going to let me miss this opportunity, especially since my semi-recent bad break-up, “Lauren” she told Niall.

I was suddenly looking back at her and fully aware of reality. The crowd was screaming and the boys were clapping. It was a strange feeling to be noticed that way, I’m not a huge fan of being the center of attention. Despite the awkward number of eyes on me I didn’t want to take my eyes off of Niall. We were locked in a post surprise kiss stare, wanting more. Craving more. All I could do to keep grounded was to grip the edge of the table. Finally Zayn leaned over to Harry and pointed out that I must be a hell of a kisser to get Niall to blush that much. Niall laughed in embarrassment attempting to gather himself. He apologized to me with a whisper as he signed my poster with his shaky hand.

 ”Nothing to be sorry about, I wanted it as bad as you did. I still do.” I said with a familiar confidence. Niall grinned and continued to write on my poster. Harry and Zayn seemed to be having a great time poking fun at us, while Louis and Liam just smiled. They seemed to be waiting for me to make my way down, they were holding something on their tongues.

Niall finished and slid my poster  Zayn then said “You have no idea, you wanna find out?” I shot a look at the ground then one to Niall.

He clutched my hand that was clutched to the table and dared “Zayn’s not got the balls to do it.” Harry seemed to back up Niall’s dare with a smile and a nod. I had no clue what to say so I replied with a cheesy smile. Suddenly I feel hands on my waist and I’m jerked the opposite direction and I find my lips locked with Zayn’s. It sent chills thru my body it was a great kiss but I didn’t get satisfaction and pleasure like I did when Niall kissed me. Zayn’s kiss felt great but it seemed to be missing sonething. When Zayn pulled away he stuck his tongue out to Niall as he walked back to his chair. 

I stood there in shock, having issues with breathing and moving. Niall laughed nervously and looked at Zayn with a warning.

 Zayn looked at Harry and the guys and said “Well, damn she’s got some lips.” Suddenly all of them were interested in learning about my lips. I stood there still in shock over the whole thing. My body was still buzzing from Niall’s kiss. He was all I could think about. I was trying to snap back to reality when I felt a hand wrap around mine. It was warm and comforting. I looked down at the hand then up at its owner.

Niall smiled at me and asked “Lauren, love are you ok?”

I smiled and shook my head no. He then walked me around the table and said something into Paul’s ear. Paul looked at me a moment then gestured his head toward their bus. Niall smiled at me asked me if I needed a glass of water then lead me to the tour bus.
