Today was the day off the sidemen shoot which i would be involved in if you couldn't guess i was an absolute nervous wreck and i honestly felt like dropping out but i had promised the boys i would and i'm not one to break a promise.

It was currently 10am i had to be there for 12pm i quickly got ready taking a quick shower and throwing on a outfit nothing too dressy but yet nothing too over the top either. I picked out a pair of shoes and walked into the kitchen making an ice coffee in my starbucks cup so i could take it with me. Poppy was still fast asleep in bed so i didn't disturb her as i didn't want her being angry for the rest of the day, i made a quick slice of toast with butter and ate it up quickly once finished i grabbed my jacket, phone, keys and bag and walked out of my apartment door locking it behind me. i decided to walk down the stairs today rather then take a the lift a bit of exercise never did nobody no harm.

Once out of my apartment complex i headed over to my car unlocking it and sliding into the driver seat i put my bag on the passengers seat and my drink in the cup holder i then quickly put the address into my car after i put my seatbelt on and put my key in the ignition turning it slightly, i decided to put the radio on and music started to blare through the speakers as i drove through the streets of london.

The journey to the studios wasn't that long once i arrived i parked my car and picked up my coffee and bag and took my keys out of ignition and locked my car throwing my bag over my shoulder and began walking through the doors where i was met with a receptionist " hi i'm here to film for the sidemen shoot my names ophelia" i smiled softly.

The receptionist looked up from her computer and pointed " just down there take a left here's your pass you must keep it on you at all points" she smiled.

" thank you" i took the pass from her hand and began following her exact directions where i was soon met with a room full of other women who were so much prettier than me in matter of fact they were beautiful, i was quickly cut from my thoughts when kon walked up to me " ophelia! hi it's so nice to see you again" he exclaimed in a happy tone.

" hi kon how are you?" i smiled pulling the man in for a quick hug.

he hugged back before pulling away " i'm good! if you come this way i'll put on your microphone and explain to you everything that's going to happen today". I followed him into another room where i was met by the rest of the camera crew and i was quickly suited up with my microphone then i was told to go back into the room of girls where i'll soon get a briefing of what's happening today. Just as the briefing was about to begin my phone pinged with a text from harry i quickly responded.



The briefing lasted around 10 minutes we got told which order we would be going in and thankfully i was going in last which settled my anxiety slightly, harry said he would try and text me as often as he could throughout the shoot and i had told him he didn't have to do that but he insisted.

It was about 30 minutes later most of the girls had gone in and come back out with a huge smiles on their faces which made me feel a little uneasy as i had overheard a couple of them saying how they found harry fit. There was only 3 girls left to go me including and i couldn't bloody wait to get this over and done with.

Another 10 minutes had lasted and i finally heard my name being shouted i quickly stood up from my seat and made my way into the studio room all the boys quickly sent me a smile but of course harry had to send me a small wink. I stood on the marker and looked into the camera " hi i'm ophelia i'm 21 and i'm from london" i turned towards the boys and simon was up first.

" hi i'm simon and i'm 28, are you a toaster because i would love to take a bath with you"

The whole room began laughing and i simply looked at him and swiped left " it's a no for me" Next up was JJ i was least looking forward to him.

" hi i'm jj im 27 and is that a bit of discharge or are you just happy to see me" he said whilst pointing at my trousers.

Once again the whole room began laughing but harry's faced seemed to have a slight annoyed look to it i " mate i'm never happy to see you" i laughed swiping left. Next was tobi he was one of the boys i was most closest with and knew i would probably swipe right on him anyway.

"hi i'm tobi i'm 27 and you remind me of man united because i want you on top of the table"

The room was now full of ooos and round of applauses at how smooth the boy's line was " tobi just because you're my favourite and that line was smooth you can go right" i said whilst pointing to the right. Next up was harry and of course i was going to swipe right he is my boyfriend after all.

" hi i'm harry i'm 24 and there will be only 7 planted left when i've destroyed uranus"

The rest of the lads were in fits of laughter me included " that's if you're lucky to even go near there but i guess you can go right". Next was ethan.

" hi i'm ethan i'm 25 do you like sharks? cause i've got a megalo-dong."

Of course this had the biggest reaction from the boys except harry who again seemed to be annoyed but of course i knew it was all banter " yeah i've seen pictures it's not that big" i said whilst swiping left. The last 2 boys were vik and josh, vik went first.

" hi i'm vik i'm 25 and even in a pandemic your smile is still the most contagious thing"

I smiled at this comment and swiped right " vik that was the sweetest thing i've ever heard you say. Last but not least was josh obviously i would be swiping left.

" hi i'm josh i'm 28, id let you sit on this face more than this face mask" he said whilst pointing at the face mask in his hand.

" i know you're girlfriend absolutely not" i replied before quickly swiping left.

Phew that was finally over and done with and the cameras were cut " ophelia wait for me in the other room we've just gotta go and thank all the girls for coming" harry shouted.

I gave him a thumbs up and sat in the boys room and waited for them all the come back.

Around 10 minutes later they all walked into the room happy and talkative as ever harry quickly walked over to me pulling me into a hug and kissing the top of my head.

" i missed you" i whispered into his ear

" i missed you too" he smiled softly.

We all sat there for maybe half a hour just talking and catching up on life the boys asked me about how my photography was going and let them know i hadn't had a job for a while but i wasn't too fussed.

" aye ophelia you're a natural in front of the camera you know" jj spoke up all the boys nodded they're heads in agreement.

" do you really think" i asked as i pulled on the sleeves of my jacket i did this when i felt nervous and harry must have noticed as he began rubbing my shoulder lightly.

" yeah definitely you should think about staring a youtube channel we'd definitely have you in our videos more" tobi said with a soft smile on his face.

" i'll think about it" i replied leaning into harry for comfort. After that conversation finished we all said our goodbyes the boys were going out tonight so i said goodbye to harry and let him know he could come back to mine if he was too drunk as i only lived a short walk away from the place they were going to drink.

Me and poppy decided to stay into tonight and have a girls night inviting talia and freya over as we'd all become close over the past couple of weeks.

Once we finished our goodbyes i quickly made my way home from the shoot not wanting to miss out on any of the fun.
