"That was amazing!" Emmett gushed as the boys had left the stage, the crowds around us began to disappear.

The boys had their security escort us to the first row, we got to experience the concert of a lifetime, it was a night I'll never forget.

Koda was asleep at our feet as we sat in awe in our seats, both of us trying to catch our breaths from all of the screaming and singing.

"Can you two come with me?" A security guard stood before us on the stage and gestured for us to walk toward the far left side of the stage where the entrance to backstage was.

The arena was almost empty at that point and I could finally hear myself think clearly.

The security guard held the door open for us and we walked through to see the boys in a huddle.

They seemed to be talking about something important.

"Boys!" The security guard called, startled by the loudness of his voice I jumped.

The boys turned to look at us, all four of them stared.

My breath hitched in my throat as I watched Harry give Niall a shove toward me.

"Go on Niall, ask the girl!" Harry snickered, my heart began to beat rapidly in my chest.

Niall's cheeks turned a shade of pink and his eyes nervously dropped to his hands, he was twiddling his thumbs anxiously.

"I know that I don't really know you and that I didn't really make that good of a first impression, but would you want to hangout with the band and I tonight?"
He asked in a very soft raspy voice, his ocean eyes met mine and melted right through my soul.

"That includes you Emmett!" Louis smiled and winked at Emmett, he about jumped out of his skin, I giggled.

"Don't forget Koda!" Liam chimed in and bent down at Kodas level.

"May I pet her?" He asked sweetly, Emmett nodded his eyes never leaving Louis.

"What did you have in mind?" I asked shyly.

Niall chuckled and the boys were all smiles.

"We planned to just hangout backstage for a couple hours until all the crowds are gone. We have some pizza on the way too!" Harry spoke up, I nodded and looked over at Emmett.

"I'm down if you are?" Emmett asked, what did he think I was going to pass up a chance to hangout with One Directon?!

"Sure we'll stay!" I laughed, Niall's smile only widened, his eyes shined brightly at me and gestured for me to follow him.

I followed Niall down a hallway leaving the others on stage.

Curious as to where he was taking me, but not enough to be brave and ask.

I looked over my shoulder to see that Emmett had made himself comfortable on a chair next to Louis and he was already talking a mile a minute.

Niall opened the dress room we had been in earlier and headed for what I assumed was his table.

"I just wanted to snag you away from the guys for a moment." He said over his shoulder as he set his microphone down on a table. 

He turned to face me and leaned back against the table placing his hands on both sides of him.

His eyes met mine nervously and I folded my arms across my body and hugged myself tightly self consciously.

Never in a million years did I expect to be sitting backstage with all of Niall Horan's attention on me.

"I guess there's not really an easy way to ask this..." He started to speak, I immediately laughed already knowing where this was going.

The look on his face changed to confusion.

"What's so funny?" He asked, clearly confused, I only giggled.

"Go ahead, ask me." I laughed.

"Are you and Emmett-"

"I will stop you right there! No! Let's just say I'm not Emmett's type!" I snorted in laughter only causing Niall to laugh with me.

"We've been best friends for awhile now, we actually met because of the band." I told him, he nodded and sighed out in relief.

My heart was thundering, I was trying so hard to keep my cool.

Why did he want to know about my relationship status?

"I just have certain feelings I can't shake." He randomly spat out, I looked at him oddly.

What did he mean?

"About?" I asked confused.

"When I look at you, I feel so many different emotions at once. I feel like I want- need to learn more about you." He spoke quietly, his cheeks began to heat up again.

He slowly took a step toward me and studied me from head to toe.

I was in shock, pure shock.

Niall Horan saw something in me, scared out of my mind I took a step towards him.

"Hey! Pizzas here!" Harry howled down the hallway, I about fell backward in fear.

I quickly snapped out of it and met Niall's gaze.

"Pizza sounds good?" He questioned, I nodded with a shy smile and we started for the stage.
