CHAPTER 5

Sazia's P.O.V

So me and Alicia decided to buy a slushy afterwards, since Giulia still wasn't back yet so we just kept continuing with our conversation.

5 minutes later…

Dammit, I shouldn't have drunk my slushy so fast…

"Uh, I'm gonna go to the lady's room for a minute, you don't mind staying here to wait for Giu, do you?" I suddenly said halfway in the conversation with Alicia.

"Nah, go a head, I'll wait" She half-heartily said before I smiled and turned to find the restroom.

Finally after hurrying along and following the signs that pointed to the lady's restroom, I was just about to rushed straight into the toilets that were right next to the men's, until I accidentally got knocked into a solid figure right in front of me. My head bumped into his chin and I had almost tripped over but luckily the person had caught me just in time, wrapping his arms firmly around my waist.

"Woah, watch wher- ….Saz?" I heard him say.

I suddenly gasped knowing that voice from anywhere, as I then quickly tilted my head up, seeing him smiling down on me. It was Zayn.

Wow. What are the chances seeing him again on my second day here in London?

"uh… yeah, hi… um sorry but I have to go use the lady's restroom for a minute…but it was nice seeing you again Zayn" I chose my words carefully but ended up fumbling them as I said it before flashing a quick polite smile of mine and running to the toilets.

Another 5 minutes later and I had finished re-applying my favorite cherry lip-gloss, as I quickly dashed a few layers of mascara onto my eyelashes; I then decided to head back out, only to find a guy standing right in front of me, blocking my way. I couldn't see who it was because they had their sunglasses and hoodie up.

"Um, excuse me but could you like… move?" I annoyingly said to the guy who I could feel staring at me under those dark-ray ban sunglasses.

Suddenly I saw a very familiar smile stretch across his face as he then cheekily muttered the words "Well I could, but I won't" before pushing his sunglasses down a bit so that I could see his eyes.

"Oh my gosh… Za-" I had managed to say, not even realizing how loud I had said it, only to have him interrupt me.

"shhhhh" he quietly said before taking my hand, and ushering me into the corner where no-one could see us.

"Why are you dressed like that?" I giggled at him.

"Fans and paparrazzi's" he suddenly sighed as my laugh instantly died down into a confused expression plastered all over my face.

"What?" I suddenly blurted out.

Zayn's P.O.V

I can't believe it. I just bumped into the girl I literally couldn't stop thinking about just a minute ago! Wow, London sure is a lucky city I thought to myself, whilst putting on my ray-bans and pulling up my hoodie so that hopefully no one would see or recognize me, as I then stood outside waiting eagerly for Sazia to come back out.

I know she said a quick goodbye earlier, but the reason why I didn't say it back was because I didn't want to say goodbye to her so soon. I'm not letting her go so easily…I just arrived here and I've managed to bump into her twice already… now that can't just be a coincidence right?

Well, I don't know… there's just something about her that makes her seem so different. She's definitely not like any other fan I've met before, I mean… so far she's doing well at not screaming and shouting at me like the others.

I know it's a corny line but do you ever get that feeling when you meet someone and when you look at them it's like you forget the whole world, like the whole world stops and its just you and that one special person standing there.

Love at first sight, right? Yeah, I'm not really the type to believe stuff like that but honestly, when I met Sazia yesterday… It felt like that, like there was an instant spark between us, a connection. It was like this was meant to happen, like I was supposed to meet her. I don't know how and I don't know why but it feels like fate is pulling us together.

5 minutes later…

There from the corner of my eye was Sazia, casually walking out so I decided to go up to her. At first I don't think she recognized me because she walked straight past me so I had to stand right infront of her before she actually started to notice.

"Um, excuse me but could you like… move?" I then suddenly heard her say.

"Well I could, but I won't" I smoothly said before cheekily grinning at her and pulling my ray-bans down slightly so that she could see me directly from the eyes now.

"Oh my gosh… Za-"She started fumbling for words but I had shushed her up before pulling her along to a quiet corner so that I could explain.

"Why are you dressed like that?" she giggled as I simply said "Fans and Paparrazzi's" before sighing.

She looked confused though at my answer.

Wait. I thought she was a fan? Wasn't she? No she couldn't be… maybe she doesn't know about One Direction? Maybe she doesn't watch The X Factor…

Thousands of thoughts got jumbled up inside my head as I then decided to just ask her myself.

"Uh…do you watch the X Factor?" I nervously asked whilst biting the inside of my bottom lip.

Sazia's P.O.V

"X Factor? Well yeah… but I stopped watching it after 2009 because Olly Murs didn't win, instead Joe McElderry did and I was pretty annoyed with that" I casually stated before pausing.

"Oh.." he disappointingly said.

"But you know what? It's funny because even though Joe won, Olly Mur's went further and well… look at him now, he's already released an album!" I proudly said before noticing how quiet Zayn had been.

"…why'd you ask anyway?" I asked a little confused.

"Well uh, In 2010 I auditioned and I ended up getting put into a band and…we came 3rd in the competition but Simon decided to sign us anyway…and we just released our first album last year.." he quickly said ask I tried letting the information sink in.

"Y-you…so you're practically..."I tried saying until he interrupted.

"Famous? Yeah…Our band is called One Direction" he finished my sentence as I just stood there speechless and he lightly chuckled at my expression.

Wait a minute. One Direction? I've heard of that before, I think Giulia and Alicia might've mentioned them once or twice…

Well, I wonder if he's good at singing then…I thought to myself, as the corner of his mouth perched up into a brilliant smile, making my mouth suddenly drop as I saw how perfect his jaw-line appeared.

"Do you want to hear me sing?" he smoothly asked, as if he had read my mind.

At that moment I was still lost for words so I ended up just nodding at his like an idiot as he took my hands and looked at me straight in the eye, causing me to instantly blush.

"You're insecure, don't know what for

You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or

Don't need make-up - to cover up

Being the way that you are is eno-o-ough

Everyone else in the room can see it

Everyone else but you

Baby you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tellyou don't know Oh oh

You don't know you're beautiful!

If only you saw what I could seeyou'll understand why I want you so desperately

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know Oh oh

You don't know you're beautiful!Oh ohthat's what makes you beautiful!"

He stopped singing and smiled at me as I felt tears suddenly escape from my eyes. It was as if he was singing every word of that song with true meaning directly at me.

No doubt, his voice was beautiful, like an angel…

God, how I regret not watching the X Factor back in 2010 now!

As he brushed the tears from my cheeks, we then ended up talking and talking about, well everything until I literally almost forgot about the whole fame thing.

Then afterwards I told him that I had to get back to my friends as we both said our goodbye's before hugging each other and walking off to our friends.

Well, I was running with excitement actually since I wanted to tell Giulia and Alicia all about it as soon as possible.

Alicia's P.O.V

Great, Giulia's still not back yet and neither is Sazia… what's taking them so long?

Suddenly my tummy rumbled and I flushed with embarrassment, not even realizing how hungry I was, since I hadn't eaten any breakfast this morning.

Ah well, I might as well go grab something from Nando's, I'm sure they wouldn't mind, I thought to myself whilst getting up and out from my seat.

A few minutes later after I had finally gotten to Nando's, I stepped inside and suddenly saw how busy and long the queue was.

Great… I murmured before sighing and entering the restaurant anyway.

Finally after getting my order of chips I then looked around, trying to find a table to sit but didn't have any luck, since every seat was full, so I decided to go further back, but then stopped when I saw a familiar blond head at the far end corner munching away to his burger and fried chicken on his plate.

Unbelievable, I thought I'd never see this cute little Irish boy again!

"Heey, Mind if I sit here?" I giggled trying to put on my best fake accent so that he wouldn't recognize me but failed miserably.

"Nah, su-"he politely said smiling down before flipping his head back up and seeing me as I smiled sweetly at him.

"Alicia!" He surprisingly said, but this time he had an even bigger smile plastered on his face.

"Well yeah, who else?" I giggled some more before sitting down and munching on my chips.

Niall's P.O.V

"Heey, Mind if I sit here?" I heard someone say, almost as if they were about to burst into laughter any minute now.

"Nah, su-"I was just about to say, when I looked up, my mouth immediately stopped chewing and my mouth dropped in amaze.

Oh my god. It was Alicia! The girl who I had been thinking about just a second ago, hoping to see her again… and now she's standing right in front of me!

"Alicia!" was the only thing I had managed to say, since I was so happy and excited about seeing her again that I couldn't find the right words to say anything else… but of course this made her giggle even more.

Then for about a good 10-15 minutes we ended up getting lost in our conversation, getting to know each other better and just basically having a laugh.

I soon found out she didn't watch much of X Factor, but she had seen me and ou r band singing a few times before. She wasn't really one of those fans, because like I said, she didn't watch much of the X Factor so she was totally chilled out and she treated me just like a normal teenage boy really… even when I reminded her about the whole thing, which was most probably what I liked about her.

She didn't like me for a pop star; she liked me for who I was.

Alicia's P.O.V

"Okay so I'd better get going then, nice seeing you again Niall" I politely smiled at him before I was just about to get up and leave.

That was until Niall had stopped me.

"Wait, Alicia?" He nervously said, as I turned around still smiling at him.

"Uh, could I have your number… you know, to stay in touch… I really like hanging out with you" he innocently said before looking down as I saw his cheeks blush into a rose red.

"Sure" I happily said, as we both exchanged numbers before he pulled me into a hug and I was the first to leave.

As soon as I got out of the Nando's I couldn't help but smile the whole time as I ended up skipping all the way back to where I had last met up with Sazia and Giulia, only to find they still weren't there yet.

But then seconds later, I heard 2 familiar voiced screaming my name as I turned around squealing in excitement with both of them after we had told each other what had happened.

"Okay, okay… shall we go sight-seeing now?" I asked as they both shook their heads.

"Nahh, lets just go home… I'm still soo happy about what just happened that I can't do anything else today…but we can go tomorrow when we're all calm again" Sazia giggled as we linked arms together, heading out of the mall.
