Everyone always asks me the same question.. and that’s how I met the boys and what was it like, so I thought i’d save myself the hand spasms from having to continually rewrite the damn thing and write it out here:) 

(To continue reading my 1D experience keep reading, if you want to read my UP ALL NIGHT tour experience and see my pictures click here) > (x)

Okay, so.. It was a day like any other, I was heading home to Northern Ireland after my Summer holiday in Singapore with my family. We had just landed In London Heathrow airport so we had some time to kill before our connection flight back home. So we were just tootering about and typical me was eating everything in sight. My mum said she wanted to go out for a smoke(ikr disgusting) so me and my sister went out with her and sat on a little rail by the entrance while she damaged her lungs-.- All of a sudden, a boy caught my eye who was walking across the road like a meter away from me.. He was absolutely flawless, and dressed like a fucking model (excuse my french). the kind of guy who didn’t belong in such an everyday, boring airport scene.. I recognised his face but it didn’t click in my mind who he was at first.. Now would be the time to admit that I absolutely LOVED the boys when they were on X Factor, i voted almost every week and I shed tears when they were voted off and it still sends shivers down my spine when they sing Torn. But after X Factor i sort of lost them for a while. So anyway, this God of a creature crossed the road, and then none other than Niall Horan followed behind him.. THIS was about the time that I started fangirling.. well in my mind because I was trying to stay calm and collected on the outside, ya know cause boys dig that shit. Then the other three, Louis, Liam and Harry all walked across the road and it was taking every bit of will power i possessed not to have a full blown asthma attack.. and I don’t even have asthma. they were heading in our DIRECTION (geddit?) and Liam noticed that I was staring at them so he flashed me one of his crooked beautiful smiles and walked into the airport with the rest of the boys. I was already halfway across the road practically trailing my mum by her arm back into the airport within a minute. When we went in I saw them paying for their airport tickets (they were heading to Ireland I think) so me and my little sister and mum went into a newsagents right next to the line and just perved on them for a while aha;) (don’t judge, you would have done the same thing braa). Then Harry and Louis came INTO THE SAME SHOP as us, the Larry bromance was going strong might I add, they were debating over which crisps to choose and I found this adorable:’) Harry ended up going for a packet of Flamin hot monster munch and they kept glancing over at me, I think they knew I knew who they were and they were waiting for me to like come up to them or start crying or something. They are so lucky it didn’t go down like this vv

They kept smiling at me every time i caught their eye and my mum was all like ‘Stacey, for the love of God. Just go say hello’. this was my face v

‘Mother. you do not just walk up to such perfection and say ‘hi”

She just laughed at me.. and guess what she did.. SHE WALKED UP TO THEM. i.could.have.died.right.there. She just strolled right up to Lou and said ‘Hey, would you’s boys mind getting a picture? my daughter’s too embarrassed to ask you herself’ at this point i was trying to cover my face with a magazine, and failing terribly i might add because i couldn’t keep my eyes off them, And Harry like looked over at me and smirked. HE LOOKED RIGHT AT MY FACE. so anywhoo Lou said ‘sure,sure’ and smiled and then put his arm around Harry’s shoulders and they both smiled at my mum while she attempted to work out how to take a picture with her phone. GOSH. EVENTUALLY, she got it working and took the picture but their manager came over and said that we weren’t allowed to take any more pictures. *cough* dumbass *cough*. So we only got that one, and I wasn’t even in it but it’s okay im grateful I met them at all. After that Louis went and joined the rest of the boys but Harry joined the line to pay for his monster munch (bless him) and I had to pay for my magazine so I was standing like directily behind him in the line, i was standing so close i could smell him. He smelt far,far too good. When he had finished paying he spun round and bumped into me a little cause I was standing so close LOL he was all cute and polite and was like ‘Oh, i’m so sorry you okay?’ Now me being the complete idiot I am just stood their staring straight into his eyes, we stood there for at least a minute and i think he was waiting for me to say something, but I couldn’t get anything out. I was soo close to asking if i could touch his hair.. thank God I didn’t. Eventually the other boys started calling on Harry and he had to go join them so he was like ‘Sorry.. excuse me, bye’ and he walked past me and while he was walking he glanced back and saw me staring at him walking away so he gave me one of those life ruining smiles and joined the other four and then they walked away into the sunset, or their terminal whichever sounds better ;)

So yeah, that was the rather too long and in detail story of the day I came face to face with my inspiration’s:) it was honestly one of my happiest moments, and It makes me smile when I think back on it. I regret now acting like such a fan girl and I wish i’d taken the opportunity to tell them how much I love and appreciate them, CUDDLED NIALL HORAN TO DEATH and told him he’s perfect in every single way to me, asked them to do the inbetweeners dance and been so devastatingly cool that they would have fallen in love with me right there. But her what the hell, it was still amazing:)

If any of you have any 1D experiences i’d love to hear about them! message me, I won’t bite.. unless you’re Niall Horan..

Here’s a really bad quality version of the pic my mum got, i’ll try and get a better one and post it when i find the lead that connects from her phone to my laptop aha! (take note of the fact Harry’s eating his monster munch) :’)

- Stacey,
