Let's rewind to Friday, 10th May, 2013 at around 2:30pm. I was just about to get off the train and I got a phone call from the host of The Bump, Angus O'Loughlan. Here's the beginning of our conversation that wasn't aired:
Angus: Heba, I have some bad news for you.
Me: Are you serious?
Angus: Yes, I'm so sorry.
Me: Please don't tell me, oh my god.
Angus: It's just that so many girls entered and used the hashtag. I just wanted to call you and tell you personally you weren't successful.
Me: Oh my god are you kidding? No, oh my god, what.
Listen to our conversation that aired, little did I know I had two amazing surprises waiting for me.
On Wednesday, 15th May, me and 9 other fans had the opportunity to watch The Wanted perform two acoustic songs and we were supposed to hang out with the boys for about an hour in the green room. As per usual, the boys were running late and we had run out of time and weren't able to hang out. Although we still had a great time.
Let's recap the best night of my life.
Jay McGuiness, as everyone should know, is the absolute love of my life and when he walked in, he recognised me and he had the biggest smile on his face. As he walked past me, he grabbed my hand and held it as he walked (kjndksbekubcbekje). While the boys were getting into position, I was whispering to Jay to get his attention. "Jay, Jay...Jaaaaaaay" then Siva looked at me and said "no need to whisper" and Jay looked at me and smiled, I asked for a hug then he whispered "okay sure, right now?" "YES!" "okay, come here." So I walked up to him and got an amazing hug off Jay. While hugging he said "aw you're so little." I accidentally got some red lipstick on his hoodie, "oh Jay, I'm sorry, I got lipstick on your hoodie" and he replied saying "oh it's fine, memories!"
Then I had a bit of banter with Siva and after the boys performed. We kind of swarmed the boys and Max looked at me and said "Hello gorgeous" in that beautiful Manchester accent, gave me a kiss on the cheek and a great hug. I got another hug off Jay and this time he kissed me on the cheek as well and he said "I'm going to call you The Little One, you're so little, you could replace Nathan."
As I was walking up to the boys to get a photo, both Jay and Seev screamed out "IT'S THE LITTLE ONE" and it made me so beyond happy. As we were leaving, I waved goodbye to the boys and Siva said "goodbye Little One" and waved like a little cutie.
Here's my photo with The Wanted :)
While waiting outside the studio to be picked up, we saw the boys come out in their pitch black van and we waved to them and Siva turned the light on and blew us kisses like an absolute babe. Then they stopped at a red light and we ran up to them and waved and blew kisses some more then they drove off into the sunset and Jay proposed to me. LOL kidding, that last bit didn't actually happen, but they did drive off and that was the end of it.
I left a lot out because I would have been sitting here writing this for days, but it was amazing and those boys are absolute perfection. They mean the entire world to me and I wouldn't ever trade this experience for anything in the world.
