"Are we done here yet?" Reece asked Ben and Joe during soundcheck, for the third time in twenty minutes. He was getting impatient now.
"Just one more song to check. Why? What's got you so worked up today Reece?" they asked him smirking, which only made him more eager to get out and get to you.
He hated this, having to kept this all a secret. He wasn't ready to tell anyone what was going on between the two of you behind closed doors.
The boys finally finished testing their vocals and guitars for the show tonight, after what felt like hours.
"So I can go now?" Reece asked, already taking his guitar off and ear pieces out.
"Yeah but be back for six please" Joe shouted after him, but he was already gone before the boys could even look up.
"What's his issue?" George asked as they watched Reece almost sprint out of the arena.
He zipped up his hoodie and put his head down, trying to avoid any fans recognising who he is. He immediately spotted your blue car outside the arena and he quickly jumped in, instructing you to drive incase anyone was watching.
"What was that all about?" you asked him when you had gotten well away from the arena and on the road back to yours.
"You know I love you angel but I just didn't want anyone to know about us yet, it's too much" he replied, leaning over from the passenger side and placing a kiss on your left cheek. You weren't really annoyed at him, just sick of running around behind people's backs.
When you finally got back to your flat, as soon as you closed the door you felt a pair of lips on yours. You passionately kissed back as his hands made his way to your waist under your top. He checked his phone and the time displayed 4:05pm. Before you could even register what was happening, he was leading you into the bedroom.

Heavy breathing filled the room as the two of you lay in bed together. You were lying tracing shapes on his chest while he was running his fingers through your hair, just relaxing and getting your breath back.
"Oh fuck" Reece suddenly shouted, leaping up from the bed and beginning to get changed.
"What's wrong babe?" you asked him, still lying under the covers. You grabbed his phone from under the covers for him, you realised he had almost 5 missed calls from each member of the band and all his managers. The time displayed on the screen; 7:09pm.
"I was meant to be back for the show at six, Fuck Ben and Joe are gonna fucking kill me" he cursed, running around the room making sure he had everything. You quickly got up from the bed, pulling on sweats and a crop top. You walked over to him and ran your hands through his hair in attempt to calm him down.
"Hey Baby, calm down, text them and tell them you're on your way now and I'll drive as fast as I can, okay?" you tried to reassure him, but you knew he was stressing.
"Okay, okay" he breathed out. You took his hand and you both ran down the stairs out to your car. You tried to drive as fast as you could through the busy streets. By the time you reached the arena it was 7:26. Floods of fangirls were racing to the doors of the concert.
"How the hell am I gonna get over there", he groaned, putting his head in his hands.
"Relax love" you said, putting your hand on his thigh, "I'll just come in with you, and explain what happened. They won't be mad and I'll just make something up"
"Thank you baby" he said, giving you a peck on the lips and not even caring about what others thought of you two. He took a deep breath in before you parked the car and you both quickly got out. You put your heads down and ran to the back door while Reece showed his pass and told security you were a guest so they let you both in.
Reece sprinted down the corridor and you followed behind. Nerves rose up throughout your body as you realise you're going to have to explain to everyone that you and Reece are an hour and a half late.
"Sorry, Sorry I'm late, I'm here now" Reece shouted up the hall. He quickly grabbed his guitar and put it round him. Before he could go on stage Ben stopped him.
"Reece where the hell the were you? You're an hour late! Just get on stage and I'll speak to you when you get off" he muttered, clearly annoyed at his punctuality. The boys ran on stage, apologising for being late while the intro to fixed started to play.
You stood in the corridor watching Reece get shouted at before being sent on stage and felt a wave of guilt come over you.
"Actually, Ben, sorry it was my fault. I'm y/n and I know Reece hasn't mentioned me but I didn't realise he had to be back and I kept him. I'm sorry", you said, he was obviously taken aback that Reece had brought a girl with him to the show.
"It's alright" he laughed, "He's here now, I knew it was a girl when he couldn't get out of rehearsals quick enough."
You stood at the side of the stage with the others watching the boys, you felt immensely proud of Reece, guilty aswell for making him late, but very proud too.
When they ran off the stage, you embraced him in a sweaty hug.
"I knew it was a girl! That's why you wanted to get out of soundcheck today, to go to your girlfriend" Blake laughed, along with George and the others.
"Oh shut up, at least I've got a girl" he said, kissing you on the cheek.
