It was loud. The music that is. I had come to a one direction concert for the first time. It's no secret they are my favourite band but it is a secret that I am gay. My name is Phoenix and I'm 18 years old but look much younger. I have relatively short brown hair that I spike up at the front and am baby faced with hazel eyes. I am slim and a little short. This is my fantasy about One Direction. I came to the concert with my two best girlfriends, Tiffany and Alice, who like me, were massive one direction fans. We sat in the fourth row. I was on the seat right next to the aisle and Tiffany and Alice sat to my left. As the concert came to a close and the boys preformed their encore song, 'Kiss You', we got a closer look at them as they ran out into the audience, singing.
"Oh my god! It's Niall!" said Alice. I turned to the aisle next to me to see the blond-haired Irish boy singing not 3 feet away from me. At this point the song ended and the crowd erupted in applause, not to mention the screaming. Niall was still in the aisle next to me, looking puffed as his gaze met mine. He smiled and began walking towards me. I turned to my friends,
"He's coming over here! Be cool!"
I quickly turned around to see Niall standing right next to me.
"It's nice to see a guy fan for a change," he said in his cute Irish accent.
"Yeah well someone's gotta keep these girls in line," I said, pointing to my friends. They just stared, like deer in a truck's headlights, utterly shocked and delighted. Tiffany let out a giggle but that was all the pair could manage to say. So I had no choice but to take charge of the conversation.
"Hey it was a great show tonight, loved it," I said.
"Tankyou, appreciate it," Niall said slapping me on the shoulder as he did so.
"Say we are havin an after party back at the otel, if you wanna join," Niall explained.
"Yeah definitely we would love to join," replied.
"Cool meet us out the back of the stadium, there's a bus with our faces on it. You can't miss it. Just hop on board and it'll take you to the party, K?"
"Ok but will we be allowed on?" I asked.
"Yeah you will just give the security tam at the bus these" He handed us 3 VIP cards that said 1D after party pass. The 3 of us took one each. "See you guys later" and with that he was off to rejoin his band mates.
"Did that just happen?" Tiffany asked, slightly confused.
"It really did'" I said.
"Best night ever!" Alice screamed. It took us about 15 minutes to find the bus Niall had described but once we found it we did what Niall said and gave the security personnel our VIP cards and climbed on board. The bus was loud. Loud from one direction music being blasted from the bus speakers and loud from the people on the bus trying to talk over it. The vast majority of the passengers were teenage girls so I, being slightly older (I'm 18) and a guy, stuck out like a sore thumb. It took about 45 minutes for the bus to travel to the party and when we got there we were escorted up to the bands room, where we were offered drinks. My friends and I took a drink, of champagne I think, and chatted amongst ourselves while we waited for One Direction to arrive.
We heard the screams before we saw the boy band enter the hotel room. Girls clambered at the boys desperate to tell them how much they loved them. I caught a glimpse of Niall and waved to him. He pushed through the crowds and came to talk to me
"You made it" he said.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world," I replied. At this point my friends had joined the crowds of girls chatting to the other members and I was left alone with Niall.
"Don't worry it'll get better once the under 18's have to go at 1 o'clock'" he said. I stared at my phone that was 10 minutes.
"You are 18 aren't you?" He asked me.
"Yes only just" I was surprised he assumed I was 18 as I looked much younger.
"Oh cool, the party gets a lot more grown up once the kiddies go home'" he explained. We chatted for the next 10 minutes until the minors were escorted out. This left only around 20 people in the large 5 star hotel room.
"Right time for a drinking game," Niall decided.
"Keen who else is going to play?" I asked.
"I'll go get Liam and Zayn," he said. A few minutes later he came back with a muscular, brown eyed, tan-skinned boy with short shaven hair. That was Liam, he was 18. Behind him was a tall thin guy with dark skin, he was of Indian descent. His black hair was slicked up and he had black stubble around his cheeks, chin and upper lip. His arms were covered in tattoos and he smelled of cigarette smoke. That was Zayn he was 19.
"Liam, Zayn meet Phoenix, Phoenix meet Liam and Zayn," Niall introduced us.
"Hi," I said quietly. The two greeted me with their sexy English accents.
"Let's play circle of Death," Niall announced. "Does everyone else know how to play?" he asked. He all said we knew how to play. Circle of Death is a drinking game played with a pack of cards. Each player draws a card and performs an action depending on which card they draw. For example a 1 means you have one drink and a 6 means you got to do a dare. The 4 of us began to play the game taking turns getting drunker by the minute. As the game progressed I became aware of the increasing sexual attraction for the three handsome boys I was playing the game with. I kept my desires hidden as I could let them find out I was gay. The four of us, now very drunk, began to run out of alcohol.
"Okay last round," Liam announced. Niall drew a card,
"a 5," he said.
"That's a never have I ever," Zayn said.
"Fine Umm.. Okay got one. Never have I ever had sex with another guy," Niall said. I looked around none of us took a drink meaning that none of us had ever had sex with another guy, which was true.
"We better fix that," Liam joked. I would love to fix that I thought.
"Shut up Liam," Niall said.
Next Liam drew a card. "It's a 6! Oh no not a dare!" He said with a sigh.
