Into The Spotlight

Miami, USA

"Latricia hurry up we need to meet Milton and Tessa downstairs in ten minutes," he says as Latricia is very uninterested.

"I think we should just have a beach day today and have some hot steamy sex. I don't really feel like hanging out with her and the old goon today," she says as Liam is not having it.

"What are you talking about we had sex like twenty times since we left Charlotte and Atlanta. You've literally been getting whatever you want," he says
as he is getting frustrated.

"I'm your princess I should be getting what I want when I want. Right now I don't want to hang out with your co-workers," she says as Liam doesn't care.

"Well that's too bad plus they are my friends, not my co-workers," he informs her as he leaves.

After finally making it downstairs Milton notices his woman isn't with him. "Another fight," he asks as Liam doesn't wanna talk about it.

"Women I swear, now I know why you never got married," says Liam as Tessa is offended.

"Hey don't blame women. We aren't the one who chose the snobbiest one in LA," she says as Milton laughs.

"Oh that's funny," says Liam as he tries himself not to laugh.

"Yeah it kind of is," says Milton as they walk out of the hotel.

They sit down at a breakfast place in a private room as they enjoy a meal to start the day.

"Have you two seen Twitter fantasizing about y'all both dating," mentions Milton as Liam looks at him crazy.

"Yes I did, our fans think we should be in love after our duet performances in the last two concerts," Tessa informs Liam as he ignores it.

"Next they will be fantasizing about my feet," he says as Milton and Tessa are confused.

"That made no sense," says Milton.

"Yeah, and neither does that," Liam says as he eats his toast. "I think Atlanta was more fun as the concert but there was nothing like having the fam in Charlotte," he adds as Tessa agrees.

"Yeah Atlanta was dynamic, that place brings in the big crowds. Hopefully, Hard Rock Stadium is max capacity tonight," says Milton as he scrolls through Twitter. He starts to laugh as he shows Tessa a cut-out of a fan made of her kissing Matthew at the restaurant. The fan replaces Matthew's face with Liam's.

Liam looks at it as he laughs. "His barms are too small for me."

"What," says Tessa who is slightly offended.

"Hey, I'm 200 pounds of cold stone steel. Matthew is like 145 of just bones and some skin but I still love the guy," jokes Liam.

The day goes by as it's showtime. Tonight Tessa goes first as the demographic tonight is mostly females so they save Liam for last. Tessa donning a tight black onesie with black jeans on prepares to walk out on stage as she gets detrimental news.

"We have a problem, your guitarist might not be able to play he sliced his finger earlier. We might have to cancel your show," he says as Liam looks at a devastated Tessa.

"Nah that fuck I'll do it," says Liam as Tessa is shocked.

"For real do you even know how to play my songs," she asks as Liam assures her.

"Yeah put a headphone in my ear and a screen with notes and I'll play that shit better than him," says Liam as Milton thinks it is better than canceling.

"Well ladies and gentlemen my lead guitarist sliced his finger today and it doesn't look like he is going to be able to play tonight," Tessa tells the crowd as they all get scared. "But don't you worry because Liam has agreed to keep my show alive by playing it himself," she states as she points out to Liam running on stage.

Twitter explodes as #HerHero starts to trend everywhere. Liam steps up to the mic as he assures the fans everything will be fine.

"Don't worry I'll make sure Tessa's show doesn't end on my watch," he smiles as the crowd cheers.

The concert goes great as Liam shreds the guitar for all her songs. Tessa who is super grateful can't help but be in debt to Liam. "Whatever you need I got you," she says as they begin to set up his band.

"Learn how to play guitar so if it happens to my guitarist you got me," he jokes as Tessa says deal.

Liam's concert goes great as they start to go out for the duet. The crowd goes wild as they chant Lissa for Liam and Tessa. Liam laughs as Tessa takes a seat on her stool across the piano as normal. They do the duet as they feed off the crowd's energy. Tessa walks over and sits next to him during the duet as the crowd goes even more wild.

After the concert, Tessa begins to trend with thousands of tweets. Liam looks at it as everyone is making them a Twitter official thing. Tessa scrolls through as she can't believe how quick things get posted.

At home, Matthew lays in bed as he can't help but see their fans pushing for them to be a thing. He isn't worried about them ever being something as he trusts them both. It's just the fact Twitter is ignoring that he is Tessa's boyfriend irks his nerves. He tries to call Tessa about it but she doesn't answer as they jump on the plane immediately to head across the Atlantic.

"Every night you both are getting better and better I swear," says Milton as he is very pleased with how the tour is going.

Latricia walks by as Liam gets up to go talk to her. "Hey babe you ok," he asks as she looks at him.

"I don't know maybe that duet looked a little too real tonight," she complains as Liam doesn't even want to start that.

"It's called putting on a show you know. I have fans and they want to see a damn good show so that's what we did," states Liam as he can't believe they have to have this conversation right now. He walks over as he pours himself a drink angry by this assumption.

"I'm not the only one who sees it so does your fans," she says as Liam isn't having it.

"It's both our fans that's what they do. You know they ship people just because they sing together just like they ship actors and actresses because they perform together it is literally a natural thing." He yells as Milton and Tessa hear him yelling.

"That's why I always stayed away from the models," says Milton as Tessa takes a sip of wine.
