Chapter 22: Stolen Song

~Caden’s pov~

“Where were you guys?” Liam whispered as Louis and I snuck back into the interview. Everyone’s attention was on Harry and Kendall who were on the side stage. Harry was just about to finish up the song. It was the perfect distraction as we quietly slipped back into our seats. I looked over at Lou, who grinned like a fool, and blushed.

“Caden wasn’t feeling well, so I took her to the back to give her some Advil.” Louis lied, with a shrug as he sat down and pulled me onto his lap. I leaned back onto his hard chest and snuggled into his neck. Zayn looked over at us with wide eyes and a sloppy grin.

‘Are you two?’ Zayn mouthed, pointing back and forth between the two of us.

I nodded, looking down at my lap with a bright blush on my cheeks. Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Louis laughed at my red face, drawing the attention away from Harry as he ended MY song. Holly looked over at the five of us and smiled.

“What are you five laughing about?” She asked as Harry sat down, Kendall taking her seat right on his lap. She looked to me with a smirk, trying to see how I would react. But my expression stayed the same as I stared at her head on. She blinked in pure shock and looked away. I smiled in triumph then looked to Holly.

“Nothing.” We replied quickly, looking at each other then laughed again. 

She gave us a look, her eye brows raised and her lips pulled into a smirk. After a few seconds of her giving us this look, she spoke up. “So. On with the interview… The famous question that keeps all of the directioner’s hopes up… Who’s taken and who isn’t?”

Louis stiffened at the question, he sneakily poked me in the back. I turned my head around to look at him. ‘Should we?’ He mouthed.

I shrugged ‘I’m fine with it. But it’s up to you.’

He smiled brightly, ‘Okay then.’

“Niall and Liam are the only ones single.” Louis replied, snaking his arm around my waist. “Zayn, Harry, and I all have girlfriends.”

“Who’s dating who?” Holly asked.

“I’m dating Perrie.”

“I’m dating Kendall.”

“I’m dating Caden.”

At that, everyone went quite. Harry took in a sharp breath, and whipped his head in our direction. If looks could kill, Louis and I would be dead… We awkwardly sat there, waiting for someone to speak up and say something. Thankfully that someone was Niall.

“Finally,” Niall shouted breaking the silence, “All this tension was killing me.”

“Tension. What tension?’ I asked, looking at him. “The only tension that I know of is in your pants when you see a pretty girl.”

“OHHHHHHHH BURN!” a girl shouted from the crowd. Niall’s face went beat red as he stared down at his hands. The seven of us, minus Niall, laughed.

“Shut up guys,” Niall mumbled, fiddling with his fingers.

“Oh you know we love you our little leprechaun,” Liam cooed, pinching Niall’s cheek. Niall’s face scrunched up, while he swatted Liam’s hand away.

“Yea, yea. I know,” He slightly grinned, and looked up. “I love you guys to.”

“You know, every single interview we go to, we can never stay on topic,” Zayn announced throwing his hands up. “Every. Single. Time.”

“We’re special. Deal with it.” Louis shrugged. I rapidly nodded my head, agreeing with him whole heartedly.

“Okay well, we only have time for a few more questions so try to stay with me.” Holly said, pointedly looking at Louis. Louis grinned sheepishly and hid behind my shoulder.
