‘Your apology. I don’t trust you anymore.’ Our breath, visible in the cold air swirled and mingled together between us. Why can’t we be like that? Existing together so easily and peacefully. But no, the whole world just had to know every inch of Louis’ life, and in extension mine.

The look on Louis’ face fluctuated between disappointment and determination.

‘I will prove to you Char. I swear on everything I am.’ With that he turned and headed off back towards my flat- where I expect his car was left. Flustered and breathless I head into work…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I thought that my first night with One Direction was one to remember… I was naïve then, about what this job could bring me. Tonight has only proved this…

Of course I knew tonight was coming, I do have to set up and do all the technical logistics and shizzle for all the shows beforehand. Well technically I don’t but seeing as otherwise I have to do it the same night I tend to plan ahead. When Miss Turner told me we were hosting this person, on this very special night as well, I simply couldn’t believe it.

To say Ciara is a fan of Lady Gaga, is an understatement. She literally idolises her. I don’t really blame her, her music isn’t the best and her fashion choices are-interesting? But she certainly is a role model; possibly the most followers ever on twitter and a world-wide fan base that hangs off her every word. To also say that Ciara was grateful when I got her, her sister, Perrie and Danielle front tickets for the concert would be an understatement to.

After I had set up and changed, it was time for my routine visit to the artist’s dressing room… I knocked as usual and the response from within was pretty normal, and then I set eyes on Lady Gaga…….

Clad in a black morph suit (minus the head bit) and laden with endless strings of pearls encircling her body, a pretty tame outfit for her. But I was pretty taken back with what she had done to the dressing room. All the furniture had been pushed to the sides of the rooms and couldn’t be seen behind the clothes rails that went round the whole room, completely full of outfits. And in the middle of the room was …

… A twister mat. And on the twister mat…

… Was Lady Gaga?

‘Ahh, Char. I’ve been waiting for you. Miss Turner said you’d be down soon.’ An excited smile plastered her face.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

‘Char!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ I turned around just in time to see the bundling mass of gorgeous blond hair that is Ciara sprinting down the corridor and right into my unprepared arms.

‘You enjoyed the show then?’

‘Enjoyed it? It was incredible.’ Ciara’s 11 year old sister Sofia chirped as she also joined the hug, two more people joined the hug and we stayed like that for a while- with all of them mumbling thanks and such like.

‘I need to go change, but as soon as I’m ready we can go out for dinner.’ They all (apart from Sofia) looked extremely guilty, another secret- great. ‘What is it this time?’ I sighed,

‘Well, I think it’s Louis’ job to tell you that. But let’s just say you don’t have time for dinner.’

‘Fine, I’ll go get my stuff.’ But before I could start walking away, rapid footsteps made me look behind me to see what was going on.

‘Char!’

‘Oh hey Stefani.’ Yes, Lady Gaga and I are that close that she even told me to use her first name- who am I kidding, it was sort of necessary. What else was I supposed to call her? Lady? Gaga?

‘Did you think about my offer?’

‘What offer?’ Dani questioned, Ciara and Sofia were visibly shaking at the fact that lady gaga was stood right in front of them.

‘I can’t thank you enough for it, but I can’t take it.’ I shook my head,

‘What offer?’ Perrie repeated,

‘Well just know that the offer is always open for you. In fact, here’s my number- give me a call if you change your mind.’ She held out a small piece of paper, I took it from her- gobsmacked.

‘Thank you.’

‘Can I ask why you said no?’ She inquired no hint of any nasty feelings at all- she was all smiles.

‘I’m just so happy right now. With this new job, new flat, new friends and old ones, and I can’t just abandon this place after I just got the job- and then there’s my grandpa to consider…’

‘There’s a boy isn’t there?’ She addressed this to Perrie, disregarding my previous statement.

‘Yes there’s definitely a boy.’ Perrie confirmed, the others nodded fiercely in agreement.

‘No… there is no boy we’re just fr…’ She ignored me again, addressing the girls.

‘Who is he?’

‘Louis Tomlinson, the one from One Direction.’ Dani answered,

‘I like those boys. Genuine, but be careful- you never know with those pop stars.’ She smiled again. ‘I’m sure I’ll see you soon Char. I’m glad you’re cherishing your friends and family while you can. Goodbye.’ She gave me a quick hug and with that she was gone.

‘Oh. My. God.’
