A/N: heyyyyy
So this chapters gonna skip ahead a bit
~skipping 8 days~
Liam's pov
The stress of the tour was starting to get to everyone. Everybody's freaking out and people are going crazy....
Eh you get use to it.
"Liam you gotta be louder on your part in Rock Me, got it?" Our stage manager Rick demanded. He was probably the most stressed of all of us. "Louis you gotta seem bigger"
"I'll show you bigger" Louis grumbled and Harry put a hand on his shoulder.
"Zayn act like you wanna be here. Niall quit staring at your girlfriend backstage and focus on the magic that's going on out here! Harry quit walking like someone..."
"Crashed the party cannon?" Niall asked and we all lost it. Even Rick cracked a smile.
"Ok ok. You bunch are done for the day" He dismissed us.
"I thought we were gonna forget the whole canon thing" Harry mumbled.
"Sorry but we needed a bit of confetti to make the atmosphere feel...lively" Louis smirked.
"Ok ok leave the poor boy alone." Madison said as she came to meet us.
"Thank you!" Harry exclaimed.
"C'mon let's go" she said and her and the party boy walked off together.
"Wonder where they're off too?" Zayn asked.
"Probably-ow!" Louis cried out as he held his arm.
"Mhm that'll teach ya" Lynn said and rubbed her knuckles. "Let's go get some food. Perrie's here too Zayn, so wanna come with us?"
"Sure" And those three were gone.
"Guess it's just us then" I turned to Niall.
"Um....I was gonna show Emmy around town a bit" he said. "Sorry mate"
"It's cool" I smiled.
I love having the girls here and though it may seem like we spend a lot of time with them and not each other, it's quite the opposite really.
The boys and I normally spend our day doing interviews and signings. We pretty much get the last 2-3 hours of the day to see the girls.
All of the sudden I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket.
U busy? -N
Not at all:) -me
Meet me in my dressing room?-N
Be there in 2 -me
I made a beeline to the girls dressing room and straightened my shirt rigt before I knocked.
"Ok Mr. Perfectionist you don't have to look like the president to talk to me" Nicole opened the door and spoke.
"Only for you Madame"
"Oh shut up" she rolled her eyes and hugged me. "So what do you want to do?"
"This" I said and kissed her. She smiled into the kiss and pulled away.
"What are we Liam?" She looked up and asked. My eyes were glued to hers.
"Well what do you want us to be?" I asked.
"I think you already know, but I want your opinion."
"Hm well I guess I kind of like you..." I said and she playfully scolded me. "I wanna be together. You're everything I want and need. Sweet, kind, funny...it's an endless list"
"I don't get it" she said and looked down.
"Get what?"
"How you feel like this towards me."
"Well I just told you" I pointed out.
"I know, but this has never really happened to me before. I was the girl people were uncomfortable to be around."
"I think their crazy." I smiled. "All I want is to be around you". I leaned in to kiss her again.
"Hey have you guys seen Emmy's-woah" Niall came barging in and stopped when he saw us. His eyes widened and then darted to the couch. "Um got it" he grabbed a phone off the couch. "I'm just gonna...um go?" He darted out of the room.
Nicole looked at me and gave me that 'go after him' look. I nodded and ran out after him.
"Niall!" I shouted and grabbed his shoulder when I caught up to him.
"Uh sorry mate. I didn't mean to interrupt-"
"You can't tell anyone!" I interrupted.
"Liam chill. I wasn't going to say anything about it. What are best mates for?" He reassured me.
"Thanks mate" I sighed.
"No problem. Do the other boys know?"
"Nooooo. And please don't tell them."
"Liam don't you trust us?" Niall asked.
"I do but I'm just worried about all of this. It literally just happened and we don't want a big deal to come from this right away. Everything is perfect the way it's going right now."
"I understand. But will you keep something a secret for me?" He asked.
"Oh course."
"I'm about to do the same with Emmy."
"That's great mate!" I told him. "When?"
"The night of the first show," he said.
"That's two days away!"
"Yeah. I'm getting excited. She really gets me ya know?"
"I know" I agreed. "It seems like all of us are matching up. Well except for Zayn for obvious reasons."
"Well not all of us" Niall admitted.
"What do you mean?"
"Harry's getting friend-zoned"
"He's gotta expect that after all that's happened" I said.
"True. Do you think that they'll work out?" He asked me.
"I really don't know. I hope, but I don't know..."
"Hm...well I don't wanna keep my lovely lady waiting for too long" Niall said.
"Alright mate. Catch you later."
He smiled and took off. When I got back to Nicole, she was pacing around the room.
"What did he say?" She asked.
"He's locked like a safe".
"Oh my gosh" she said. Her voice filled with relief. "I do think that we shouldn't tell anyone right away. With the stress of the tour and everything..."
"I agree"
"I mean I'm not ashamed of our relationship, it's just there's a lot coming up..."
"I know love. It needs to come out eventually though. I just don't know when or how, but we'll figure it all out" I said.
"Just not in an interview" Nicole said.
"Cmon love. That situation got fixed. They cut that part out." I reassured her.
"I just don't want to push you away."
"You won't" I said. "I won't allow that. You're too important to me"
