He could hear the girls shrieking and murmuring happily.
Marcel was loud as ever, he reminded the boys to be calm, to be nice and polite. He did that every M & G. He walked around and made the boys look fresh and cool. "Okay boys, go out now." He said.
Liam popped his head from behind a wall and the girls started to scream, from behind, Niall could see the flashing of lights and the sound of shutters of the camera that's clicking. He squeezed Addison's hand tightly.
"Niall," Marcel whispered beside him. "Are you sure she'll be okay?"
"She's going to be okay." Niall reassured his friend. He knows exactly what those worrying eyes meant, "I promise you she'll behave."
Marcel sighed. "Okay."
Niall went out to greet the flashing lights, he squinted his eyes but the surprised look on all of the girls' faces were clear. He understood they didn't expect to see her here.
The boys didn't even bother to support Niall - even Liam. They interacted to the other fans like nothing different is happening.
Then he heard murmurs going around and glares that pierced his back. He smiled at a girl that was standing and looking at him, and the smile wasn't returned.
Then he knew he was proven wrong, a large number of his fand still couldn't accept Addison.
Niall went behind the other boys with Addison. The lads were laughing, and Niall was upset as hell.
It was all mean staring and unpleasant murmurs around until a group of fans with '1D' painted on their faces came to each boys to ask for autographs and when they came to Niall, he didn't expect what was about to happen.
"Hi Niall!" A girl greeted politely. She turned her head to Addison and her smile widened. "Hi!" She greeted.
"Hi darling..." Addison said, smiling back.
"You're really gorgeous." Another girl said.
"Thanks love." Addison said, feeling flattered.
Niall's lips spread into a smile.
"You girls are looking wonderful." Addison complimented.
"Thanks!" They all said.
"Would you want to take a picture with Niall? I can take it." Addison suggested, stepping aside.
"Oh, no no, that's really mean for us, you're his girlfriend." A girl said.
"Oh, it's nothing love, you guys have done a lot for him, you deserve the best." Addison said. "Come on, jump in!"
Then all the girls went beside Niall as they gave Addison the camera. "Say cheese!"
"Cheese!" They said as she snapped a picture.
"Another one?" She asked. They nodded. "Okay, smile!" Then she snapped another picture with then having different poses.
"Thank you so much Addison!" A girl said, shaking hands with her.
As they went away, Niall's mood lightened, he looked at Addison and planted a quick kiss on her cheek. Fans like those girls are all he ever needed.
So Niall went around the room with Addison. He greeted everyone - except those mean girls on the corners - and introduced Addison to them, some people were even jumping up and down when Niall approached them.
"Can I touch your hair?" A fan asked.
"Yeah, sure." Niall smiled. It was common for him and for the other boys to be asked of such weird questions, a fan once even asked Liam if she could touch his earlobe.
"You guys look very cute with each other." A fan said.
"Thanks," Addison said.
"Do you guys go together a lot?" Another fan asked.
"We do, we do, we're together most of the time."
"So you're not safe from strange fan encounters?" A fan asked Addison.
She laughed. "Of course not." She said. "We could act one event if you want."
"Sure!"
Niall looked at Addison, unsure.
Addison went away from Niall, and he stood still, confused. "You say go." She told the fan.
"Action!" She said.
"Oh my gosh!!!!!" Addison screamed, running towards Niall and jumped in his arms, Niall caught her and laughed. "It's Niall Freaking Horan!!!!"
Then they all started laughing, it diverted the lads attention, so they just laughed along.
"That did happen." Niall said as he put down Addison.
"And then I was just like... at the side, pushed away from him and like-" she pulled out a funny confused expression. "But it's okay really, if I were them I would've done worse."
"Which is actually legit when we first met." Niall chuckled.
"What did you do?" A fan asked, seeming to be overly curious.
Addison smiled at her and glanced at Niall.
Niall was about to say something but Addison gave him a look, the 'don't-worry' look. He nodded reluctantly.
"I went to McDonlalds, then I went to the counter and ordered some fries, then the staff gave me Niall."
"It was quite rude of them, I was standing in line, waiting for my burger then someone suddenly snatched me!" Niall smiled at the confused teens, forcing themselves to believe the story. "It was an odd way to meet someone, but it was worth it, I guess? I lost some money because I didn't even get my burger."
Niall was left relieved by what Addison had done, the girls left with awkward faces, as they were not prepared to hear that. Niall knew the fans would always share their encounter with them but to the looks of those faces, he knew those girls were forced to shut their mouths and be careful not to tell anyone a certain part or else they'll not be taken seriously.
It both shut the rumors, and the curiosity of their fans of how he met this girl.
He went to the boys, it was time for their pictorials.
This time, Addison begged Niall not to include her to any of the pictures because she still felt like someone who's not supposed to be there.
Niall agreed, because he knows the fans would crop her out of the image anyway, and he wouldn't want that. So he thought it was best to just keep her on the side of the camera so he could look at her and smile.
It was all a simple pictorial, the boys with different fans and different poses, until two girls, one with braided hair and another whose shirt had a ZM print on it came, they had banners and flaglets.
"Hey, nice flags." Louis said, smiling at the braided hair girl.
"Thanks, our classmates made them."
"Oh, tell them I said thanks." Louis smiled.
They were about to pose when they both looked at each other and looked at Niall. "Can she come?"
