The Girl Group

Kyle's POV
*1 day to first show of tour*

Today I was showing Kristen around the venue because I knew that she had been dying to get a better look around the back stage area, you know being cooped up in H&M lately.

Although, I was starting to doubt that she actually wanted to look around the venue seeing as every hallway we passed and walked down, she scanned each area with intensity, as if she was looking for something... or somebody.

"Kris, are you still creeping for the guys?" The guilty look on her face answered my question before she could open her mouth. "Are you kidding?!" I groaned, rolling my eyes dramatically. "I told you, we are on tour with these guys. We gotta keep it cool and professional."

Kristen nodded her head vigorously and seemed like she understood what I was saying, but as soon as I finished she went right back to her little scavenger hunt.

Sometimes I felt like I was the twenty year old in this relationship.

Continuing down the halls, I kept my tour guide mode going while Kris kept looking for any member of One Direction. About thirty minutes into the tour I just quit and let her do whatever.

"Kris, you know that they are really busy with this tour and--"

"Kyle!" Someone shouted from just down the hall, cutting me off mid sentence.

I spun around and, speak of the devil(s), Niall Horan and Harry Styles were walking right towards us. I swear I heard Kristen swoon at the sight.

Niall kind of had this skip in his step, and if I wasn't as keen for details as I am I probably wouldn't have noticed it, while Harry had both hands behind his back, which I noticed always did that, as he nonchalantly strolled down the corner.

"Hey guys," I greeted cheerfully.

In the two and a half days that we have been here so far, I've spoken to the guys a few times and they are pretty cool. I've got to say though, I really think I've made a better connection with the two in front of me. I don't know what it was, but we just seemed to hit it off I guess.

Kristen stayed frozen beside me, her eyes wide and a red blush dusting her cheeks.

"Hello," Harry replied. I watched as he took notice to Kristen, casually checking her out before saying, "And who is this?"

Right, forgot that Kristen hadn't met all of the boys yet. "Oh, this is Kristen, she is our make up stylist."

Niall was the first to stick out his hand with a bright smile on his, slightly red, face. It took a few moments and a jab of an elbow from me before Kris took his hand and politely shook it as she smiled back at Niall. Although her smile kind had 'massive fan, huge excitement' written all over it.

Harry, being the straightforward goofball he was, just went in for it and gave Kris a small kiss on the apple of her cheek. When he pulled back, Kristen's cheeks were an even deeper crimson shade.

"Beautiful name by the way." Harry added with a sly wink.

Now let me just get this out now, I may have been slow but I was not stupid. I knew exactly what was going on here. Both, Niall and Harry were shamelessly flirting with Kristen and she might have been doing the same.

These crazed twenty year olds were showing the early signs of a love triangle and there was no way in hell I was going to get into this. I didn't care who wanted to do who, but make sure it didn't interrupt my sleep.

As the three of them began to get deeper into a conversation I was able to closely observe just how awkward Niall was. He kind of seemed like a lost puppy. He just wasn't as good as the whole flirting thing as Harry.
