UNREQUITED
Chapter 2

I knew it was going to be cold in London, but when we stepped out of the airport, dragging our suitcases behind us, I wondered if we’d caught the wrong plane and ended up in Antarctica. It never got this cold in Melbourne and my wardrobe was definitely not prepared for this sort of weather. Like wow. This of course left me with the promising prospect of a shopping spree with Mum. And that i guess, was always a good thing. We followed the man who was to drive us to our hotel and he chuckled as we scrambled to put our coats and hats on, pulling our collars up to keep the wind out. “Better get used to it, ladies! It only gets worse from here!” Great.

Mum raised her eyebrows at me as she hopped into the front seat. The sky was grey but it did nothing to darken the beauty of the city. I stared out the window in awe at the buildings rushing past me, so relieved that I was finally here.

We stepped into the foyer of our hotel after having our bags taken by doormen and met the man who was managing the boys from One Direction. “Sam! How are you!” Mum said as the tall dark haired man strode over to us. He kissed my mum on both cheeks. “Terri, it’s been a while! I’m fine thanks, love. And you must be Mellisa! It’s lovely to finally meet you,” he chortled, shaking my hand. “You too,” I said politely. Sam had worked with my mum a lot over the years and I’d heard so much about him I felt like I knew him already. “How was your flight?” asked Sam. 

He and my mum began their little catch-up like two old women and I was left wandering awkwardly around the hotel lobby. It was a very beautiful hotel. This is the only hotel i've ever been in, but we were going to be moving around alot the next three months so i guess i have to get used to places like this. But still it didn't stop the fact that this place... this place felt like a palace compared to home. My thoughts wondered off onto room service. My ankle boots clacked on the black and white marble floor as I walked. Opposite the front doors was a huge marble staircase leading to the second floor where a fountain in the shape of an angel sat spouting water. Before the sound of running water started to get to me, Sam called me over. “Would you like to meet the boys? You will be spending a lot of time with them from now, after all!”

“I’d love to!” I couldn’t stop smiling as Sam lead me and mum up the staircase, past the giant fountain and over to the lifts. Though I hadn’t known about One Direction all that long and hadn’t had time to develop a crazy obsession over the five boys, I still couldn’t help the sudden butterflies that appeared in my stomach. 

We stepped out of the lift onto a long corridor. “The rest of the crew will be arriving today and tomorrow. We’ve pretty much got this whole floor booked out,” Sam explained. “There are a few meeting rooms around, they act as sort of common rooms, I suppose. This floor is used for business meetings and big groups such as ours. I’m guessing the boys are in a meeting room at the moment. They only arrived a couple of hours ago.” We followed the corridor as it curved around and came to a door with the noise of a blaring TV coming from behind it. My heart was beating at a million miles an hour and yet, I had no idea why. Sam knocked and then pushed the door open. At the far end of the room was a kitchen separated from the rest of the room by a breakfast counter. A beige leather couch was pushed up against the counter facing us and another was pushed against a wall. And there they were, spread out on the couches. The five boys who would be the people closest to my age I would interact with for three whole months. The five boys with the angelic voices. The five boys each with incredibly perfect hair. The five boys who were staring right at me, probably wondering why my eyes had gone all glassy and why my chin was practically on the floor.
