"So you really like them? Honestly?" Calum asked you from his position propped against his dresser, cup of coffee in hand.

You looked over at your fiancé with a smile.

The night before you, Ivy, Crystal, and Sierra had all gone to the studio to have a little "listening party" of "2011" and the three tracks that the boys had finished for the new album (Complete Mess, Take My Hand, and BLENDER).

To say they were amazing would be an understatement.

But knowing Michael had produced Complete Mess and Take My Hand, made listening to them even better.
You said this all the time, but you were beyond proud of all four of them.
They were already putting so much into this album not only for the fans, but for themselves, and it was showing in the amazing songs they were creating.

You walked over to him and took the cup out of his hand and placed it on the dresser so you could wrap your arms around him, "Calum. They're absolutely incredible. And you know I would tell you if I wasn't a fan like I always do. So what's wrong?"

"I don't know. I guess these songs, this album, just feels more personal to me. To us. Especially with Michael producing. I just want it to be perfect." He finished with a shrug.

"It doesn't matter if it's not perfect to anyone else. If you and the guys love it that's all that matters. But I can promise you right now, from what I've heard so far everyone is going to love it."

He let out a deep sigh, "You're right."

"I know, I usually am." You replied, giving him a quick peck on the lips before going over to sit down on the edge of the bed and put on your shoes, "You already told me, but what's your schedule like today?"

He picked his coffee cup back up from the dresser and took a swig before answering you, "Well we have another meeting first thing this morning at 9 just to finalize tour locations and dates for next month, as well as go over the dates we're going to record the ten year video podcast thing...wait, isn't your radio interview this morning??" He asked you excitedly.

Today was the day you had your radio "interview" with KIIS FM 102.7 and you were actually pretty nervous.
Sure you talked to artists and their management regularly because of your job, but things like this? A radio interview?
You would much rather leave that for Calum and the guys.

You nodded, "At 10. Are you going to listen?"

He gave you a "are you kidding" look, "Of course I am. My girl is going to be on the freaking radio, I don't care if our meeting is over or not I'm going to listen."

"Just you though right? Like you're going to go far away from everyone and have the volume down really low..?" You asked nervously.

He laughed, "No Fare. Ashton is already going to listen because of Ivy but Luke and Michael wanted to listen to the both of you too."

You gulped, "Well now I feel even more nervous... so you guys, my mom, Matt and Ronnie are going to listen tomorrow after it's aired, and I think even Jake, Josh, Sam, and Danny planned on listening....that's just great."

You saw him visibly stiffen at the mention of Jakes name but he quickly brushed it off, "Ah babe you'll be fine. If you get nervous just let Ivy do all the talking. That's what I do if I'm nervous during an interview. I just let the other guys take the reigns. But 9 times out of 10 it's always Ashton because I think he likes to hear himself talk."
