It was Saturday night and the girls were dressed up and ready to party it up. ‘Responsibly of course’ Claire added.
The whole shop was abuzz and there had never been more people in the shop since it had opened in the 50s. Natalia was manning the register and had to arrive earlier to keep the crowd under control.
“Where on earth is Louis? Didn’t he book the band?” Gwen asked standing behind the counter helping her out.
“No idea he has been super secretive, he wouldn’t even let me see the guys! He’s up to something I know it, I can smell it.” Gwen just backed up and slowly left.
“Alright hey there! I am Natalia assistant manager here at Z’s Record Shop!”
“CO-ASSISTANT MANAGER!” She put her head in her hands “Excuse me sorry Louis, I am the co-assistant manger here, now I know absolutely nothing about this band and have never met them in my life, so I will be selling tomatos in the back for a dollar to throw at them if they are horrid.” The crowd laughed.
“I’m being serious.”
Cue the cricket noises.
“Anyways let’s give a warm welcome to One Direction!” There were a few scattered claps as she walked off the small stage and behind the curtains.
“Lately I found myself thinking
Been dreaming about you a lot”
“Is that Liam?” Claire asked looking over to her friends as he walked out on stage and straight towards her in the front row. Gwen shoved her forward with the help of Cody.
“And up in my head I’m your boyfriend
But that’s one thing you’ve already got”
“He drives to school every morning
While I walk alone in the rain
He’d kill me without any warning
If he took a look in my brain”
Harry stood directly in front of Gwen and Cody, who oddly had a look of defeat on his face. Gwen turned bright red and looked to Carley for help. In return she just mouthed one word to her.
‘AWKWARD’
“Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well, if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby, you should know that I would”
Aubrey turned around as soon as she heard the voice behind her. Zayn was standing right in front of her singing directly to her.
Was this heaven?
“Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well, if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby, you should know that I would”
By then the three boys were up on stage singing all together.
“Back in my head we were kissing
I thought things were going alright”
Carley laughed at Niall as he came out and bent down to hold her hand. He made a big deal of kissing her hand before winking and going to join the other boys and continuing.
“With a sign on my back saying ‘kick me’
Reality ruined my life”
For some reason it felt like the group wasn’t complete yet.
“It feels like I’m constantly playing
A game that I’m destined to lose”
She knew that voice the moment he started singing. All the times they had been alone in the shop and he decided to obnoxiously sing and try to impress her/
“'Cause I can’t compete with your boyfriend
He’s got 27 tattoos”
Natalia couldn’t help but laugh at the dork.
“Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well, if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby, you should know that I would
Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well, if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby, you should know that I would“
The boys voices meshed together perfectly. As they sang they brought the girls up to the stage, Gwen reluctantly left Cody and Natalia was thrown over Louis’ shoulder but the other’s came with great enthusiasm.
“Would he please you?
Would he kiss you?
Would he treat you like I would
Would he touch you?
Would he need you?
Would he love you like I would?”
Louis sang directly to Natalia the whole time and by the end she was as bright red as the tomatoes that had been abandoned as soon as their angelic voices floated through the speakers.
“Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well, if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby, you should know that I would”
Out of the corner of her eye Gwen could see Cody and he didn’t look angry at Harry singing to her. He mouthed ‘I understand’ before shaking his head and walking back through the crowd.
“Would he please you? Would he please you?
Would he kiss you? Would he kiss you?
Would he treat you like I would (like I would)?
Would he touch you? Would he touch you?
Would he need you? Would he need you?
Would he love you like I would?
Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well, if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby, you should know that I would, I would, yeah, I would, yeah”
The boys were met with thunderous applause and the girls exited the stage allowing the boys to finish their mini concert.
