*Maddie P.O.V*
"I'll call you later or something." I said to Reece as I stepped out the car outside the studio.
"Okay cool, see you later!" He said.
"Thanks for driving me here, see you later." I said, and I closed the door.
Reece drove off as I made my way up the steps. The door opened and Con was stood there waiting for me.
"Hey sis, how are you." He asked. I hadn't seen Connor in a few days, and it was nice to see him again.
"Hey I'm great thanks, what about you?" I replied.
"I'm good thanks. Let's get you inside before you burst with excitement." Connor chuckled, and I followed him up the stairs to their room.
He opened the door and the sound of Tristan on the drums filled my ears.
"Hey!" I said to the others.
"Hey Maddie!" They all replied.
"Did you tell her, Con?" James asked, and Con shook his head.
"Tell me what?" I asked.
"Well, sit down." Con said, shutting the door behind me. I sat on one of the black cushions and looked at the other three expectantly. "Okay, we all figured that we would give you an extra thing today as well seeing as you're here. Did you want to be one of the first people to hear the new album?"
"Holy shit, are you serious?" I exclaimed. I usually only get to hear snippets of the new songs before they get released, but I've never heard a full song, let alone a whole album, before release day.
"Of course! Now we're going to leave it up to you whichever you want to do first." Con said.
"Listen to the album of course!" I said.
"I knew you would choose that." Connor laughed.
I looked over at Brad who was smiling, like a lot. "You can either sit there or over here." He said, gesturing to the seat next to him. Well, since he's offering...
I jumped up and moved to sit beside him. He had a laptop with copies of all of the songs open in front of him.
"Have you finished them all then?" I asked Brad.
"Yep, the album is complete. We hand the finished thing over tonight." He said. "Now, I won't play you the singles seeing as you already heard those. I'll play you the new ones, plus some extra songs which haven't made the album. We plan to release them as some point in the future."
"Oooh extra tracks, they sound intriguing." I said.
"We've got some pretty banging ones. Although I've got inspiration for a final song which I haven't mentioned to the others yet, sorry guys." Brad said. "Anyway, you ready to listen?"
I nodded, the excitement spilling over.
"Okay, this first one is called Talk Later." He said.
*Brad P.O.V*
"Oh my fucking god." Maddie said once the last song had played.
"You liked it then?" Con laughed.
"Um, of course!" She exclaimed.
I laughed. "Which was your favourite?"
"I can't choose! They were all amazing! I mean... wow! Let me look a second." She read through the track names to remind herself. I sat admiring her concentration as she read through them. "Okay, so my favourites are What Your Father Says, Talk Later, Too Good To Be True, and For You. But I love them all."
She turned her body so we were facing each other. She looked right into my eyes. "And your vocals were like amazing as always."
I smiled nervously but didn't break eye contact. "Why, don't make me blush, thank you."
"And Tris." She broke away the eye contact and turned to face the others. As she complimented them 3, I saw Con whisper something to James and James nodded, with both of them throwing a glance in mine and Maddie's direction. I frowned, but Con just looked away again.
"Brad, you ready?" Con asked.
"Yep." I said, shaking off whatever just happened. I stood up and held a hand out to Maddie to pull her up.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"Next door, you'll see." I told her, letting go of her hand.
I followed the boys into a back room, Maddie following behind. In the back room we had our set up, drums, guitars, keyboard, microphone stands, the works.
Con took over. "Maddie, come sit here." He said, gesturing to a chair we had put in front of our set up.
She sat down as the others all got into their places to play. "Okay, so, we decided we were going to play you a few songs off the new album so you can tell us how we sound." I laughed. "Talk later first?"
"Of course!" Maddie smiled.
"Alright boys, let's go." I said, and we began.
I made eye contact with Maddie as I started to sing. "Looking in the mirror and all I see is liquor." Maddie didn't break the eye contact even as I started to walk over to her before the chorus hit.
Once the chorus hit, Maddie was up and dancing around with me, the look on her face was just adorable. I tried to hold back so much on the flirtatious tendencies that I know I have - I mean, I can't give away. Connor's literally right there.
I looked over at the boys and Con smirked at me. I looked away, hoping he hadn't clocked on, although I think he's started to realise there's something going on. Although he might just be grateful that Maddie is enjoying herself.
Shaking off the feeling once more, I turned my attention back to Maddie, who was all smiles and laughing.
