Playing With Lightning

August 2010

A.N: Another chapter just because I have no life and keep writing them. Also because Taylah is a professional nagger.

August 2010

“Maximillian Albert George! Pick up the phone right now, I know you’re home!” I heard a demanding, very familiar voice squawk as I got out of the shower, wrapping myself in a towel.

“Shit,” I cursed, running out of the bathroom and down the stairs, grabbing the phone before it could hang itself up. “Hey mum.”

“Oh, Maeve dear,” she seemed surprised. “Why didn’t you pick up earlier? Where’s your brother?”

“I was in the shower,” I explained, catching my breath from my world record sprint. “As for Max, I have no idea. I think he’s off with the boys somewhere.”

“He spends far too much time with those boys,” she tutted disapprovingly.

“They’re a band mum,” I explained like I was talking to a two year old. “Plus, they’re really nice boys, trust me.”

“I hope they’re treating you uh… respectively,” she warned.

“Mum!” I coughed out. “Don’t even go there, I do live with Max remember? He’s looking out for me. Nothing will happen-”

“Nice outfit,” I heard a wolf whistle and spun on my heels to see the boys standing there with smirks on their faces. I looked down, remembering I’d run out in just a towel, not thinking anything of it since I was home alone for once. Spoke too soon. “Bit revealing don’t you think?”

“What was that? Who’s there?” Mum asked, sounding like she was getting worked up.

“Nothing Mum,” I winced. The boys stifled their laughs, not even having the decency to look guilty. “It was just the TV. Some show that just came on. Oh look, Max just came in, why don’t you grill him?”

I threw the phone at Max before running back upstairs, hearing the boys’ laughter behind me. I threw on a pair of shorts and a floaty white shirt, not thinking about my wet hair making it go see-through. That was a bridge I’d cross when I came to it.

“Get your ass over here,” I said into my phone after dialling Tay’s number. “I’ve been invaded.” She laughed and hung up, Taylah talk for ‘I’ll be there in ten’.

I slid down the banister in the expert way only I could perfect, not saying that nobody else had tried. Trust me, I had video footage to prove it. The boys were in the lounge playing FIFA on our flat screen.

“I don’t get this game,” I flopped onto the couch, my legs over Jay and Siva’s laps.

“That’s cause you’re a girl,” Tom pointed to me with one hand before it snapped back to his remote.

“And that’s because you’re a sexist,” I shot back.

“Excuse me,” he protested, mock offended. “I am not sexist, I love girls.” I rolled my eyes and hit him over the head with a couch cushion.

“Too bad the feeling isn’t mutual, hey?” Tay made an entrance into the room, dropping onto a beanbag next to Nath. No knock or anything, that’s how it goes around here. She pulled my laptop from beside the couch, signing in with my password, which of course she knew.

“Oh my god!” She said suddenly after a few minutes of scrolling and typing. “Maeve, look at this!” She passed it over the boys to me and I looked at what she’d been reading, my eyes going wide. It was an article… on us. Sure, people knew who we were, but mostly just the boys’ most dedicated fans who knew every fact about their lives. This was definitely different.

Looks like our boys aren’t the only ones who are ‘Wanted’.

We all know about British-Irish boy band, The Wanted. We know them, we love them. Made up of members Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuiness, Max George, Siva Kaneswaran and Tom Parker, the band have been climbing the charts after their formation in 2009.

We’ll be the first to admit that the boys are major hotties, but it seems like its in the genes, and they’re not the only ones turning heads. Maeve George, younger sister of The Wanted’s own Max, and Taylah Parker, sister of bandmate Tom, are widely being recognised as newcomers in the world of celebrity hotties.

The 17 year old girls (pictured below with band member Nathan Sykes) have been seen out on multiple occasions with their brothers and their bandmates. The girls are known to be students at a local high school together.

While The Wanted are catching the eye of girls all over the world, are their sisters working their magic on the male population? All we know is these mini Wanted besties are taking our readers by storm, and we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for them in the future.

As promised, below was a picture of the two of us with Nathan, well two photos to be precise. We’d been at one of the boys’ big launch parties, so we were all dolled up. Nath was in the middle of us, an arm around each of our waists. In the first picture, we were all grinning at the camera, while in the second Tay and I were kissing Nathan’s cheeks from either side, posing like idiots.

“That is so cool,” Tay and I high fived. “We’re practically more famous than you guys now.”

“It’s not that cool,” Max brought down my thunder. “They basically just objectified you to the entire male population. If anybody didn’t notice you before, they will now. Not sure how I feel about that.”

“Oh chill out Max,” I waved his worries away dismissively. “You worry too much.”

“We’re two average teenage girls in a world full of supermodels and generally drop dead gorgeous people,” Tay pointed out. “We’ve got nothing to worry about.”

“You guys are so clearless,” Nathan said under his breath, so I wasn’t sure if I heard him right. The conversation dropped and the boys went back to their game. We kicked Siva off the couch onto a beanbag so Tay and I could both look at the laptop. We checked our twitters to see our followers and mentions going crazy. We read and replied to a few.

NumberOneTWFan @AwkwardlyMavis @ItssTaylahBitch So, which one of you is fucking Nathan?

Needless to say we chose to ignore that one, just looking at each other and trying not to laugh. Personally, the thought of that was ew. I mean, it was Nathan. He was my Nathan, my goofy best friend. That was it. Well for me it was at least.
