Stuck in the Middle

Little White Lies

Before I knew it I was sat in an almost empty plane flying over the Tasman Sea, now only one hour away from landing in Brisbane.

To say I was nervous was an understatement. I had no idea what I would even say to the boys when I saw them again but I was pretty sure they knew I was going to be in their music video so it wouldn't be a huge surprise when they saw me. I hadn't been told many details about what the video would be about or what song it was for but I didn't really care, I saw an opportunity and I took it.

Once the plane had landed and I had collected all of my bags I was on the lookout for a taxi to take me to my hotel. That was when I noticed Zayn leaning up against a flash car with a smirk on his face as he looked at me. He walked over and grabbed my bags for me as I stood there just looking at him, I couldn't even say anything.

"Come on Demi." He said as he grabbed my hand and led me towards the car. I couldn't ignore the familiar spark I felt when he held my hand but I tried to push my feelings down, he didn't need me acting like a fangirl if I were to be in their music video.

"So uh, how long are you here for?" I asked as the driver accelerated away. I was trying to make small talk but I wasn't sure if I even wanted to know the answer.

"Supposed to be two weeks but we're not booked for anything for a while so it might be longer." He shrugged before we both sat in a comfortable silence as the car sped down the highway, our hands still linked.

"Am I staying with you guys?" I asked as we pulled up to a hotel.

"Yeah, but we all have different rooms." He said with a smile as he got out of the car. As we walked into the hotel I noticed that I hadn't seen any fans outside which seemed very odd. Zayn led me to my hotel suite which was very fancy and told me that I would be needed to discuss the video in about an hour in the hotel restaurant.

I had a quick shower and freshened up before walking down to the restaurant where I saw all of the boys seated at a table.

"Am I late?" I hesitantly asked as I sat down next to Harry. I was trying to be casual and not make anything awkward between us.

"No we're just waiting for the director to show up." Liam replied giving me a reassuring smile.

I find myself in a small coffee shop for the first scene of the video, dressed in a black dress with a white apron on. It's now dark outside and I can't help but feel the cold a little bit without a jacket or something warm on. The storyline for this part of the video is that the boys walk into a coffee shop where I'm working and they all want to be with me. I can't help thinking that this is the best storyline of all time and a little grin spreads over my face. Basically the video will be them individually dragging me to different places and trying to impress me.

The director, a middle aged man called Marcus, comes over to me and tells me to act as though I'm working in the coffee shop and to glance up briefly when the boys enter.

"And scene."

"If this room was burning, I wouldn't even notice, 'cause you've been taking up my mind with your little white lies, little white lies."

The boys take a seat at a booth but Liam comes up to me ready to sing his line and flirt with me a bit.

"You say it's getting late, it's getting late and you don't know if you can stay, if you can stay, but you, you don't tell the truth no you, you like playing games."

As he sings the last line I see louis walking over to us, Liam does as he's supposed to and spins me around once while removing my apron. When I am back facing them, Louis takes my hand and leads me away and we start to make our way towards the exit as he sings.
