We Need A Reunion

Part 31

It was a few days later and Lou and I were getting ready for our appearance on The Late Late Show. I was nervous as to what James might ask, but I knew it would be ok as I had Niall, Louis, Harry and Liam to help.

We arrived a little early and got ushered around by the crew. We were waiting for our mics when Niall, Liam and Harry showed up with James. I gave each of them a hug and shook James' hand.

"Hi James. I'm Kayleigh." I say politely.

"Hello Kayleigh, it's nice to see you. Ok things you should know. Be yourself, have fun and tell all the secrets." James said laughing. The boys and I laugh as well.

"Don't say that James, she'll take it literally and then you'll know everything from my childhood." Louis says laughing. I nod, grinning playfully.

We get our mics and stand talking while James starts the show. I get a little nervous hearing the amount of people in the audience but Niall calms my nerves when he grabs my hand and squeezes lightly.

"Hey you'll do fine. If you need help Lou and I are on either side of you so give our hand a little squeeze and we'll help, ok?" He said. I nod.

"Thanks." I say.

"Anytime." He says smiling.

We get called on and we all walk towards James's desk and take a seat on the couches and chairs set out for us. As Niall said I was in the middle of him and Louis, while Liam and Harry sat behind us.

"Hello boys, and Kayleigh. How are you all tonight?" James says.

"We're grand aye." Niall says and the boys and I nod in agreement.

"It's great to have you all here," James says.

"Great to be back." Harry says smiling. I see Louis staring and mentally roll my eyes.

"Now for anyone who doesn't know this is One Direction!" James announces. The audience scream loudly which wasn't a shock. "And we can't forget about Louis' manager Kayleigh Donherty. Tonight boys, we're playing a game called 'Spot that Celeb!'"

I'm curious to see what the game entailed. I absentmindedly slip my hand between Niall and myself and grab his. I feel his thumb gently swiping over my knuckles as James explains.

"We have hidden a celebrity in the audience tonight. It's up to you to find out who it is." James says. "If you get stuck I have hints on these cards to give you an idea as to who you're looking for."

"I'll be timing you to see how long it takes for you to figure it out. Ready? Go!" With that James starts a small stop watch. The boys look at each other before scanning the screaming crowd. Calling out random celebrities, obviously joking about.

I look out onto the sea of faces, carefully trailling my eyes over each person. I vaguely hear James hint of 'the celebrity you are looking for has worked with each of the boys in one direction'. I mull over the clue before meeting with a familiar set of eyes. His face widens into a grin around the fake nose and make up.

"So our surprise guest is Zayn." I say to James, smirking up at the face now smirking at me.

"That's is correct. Have you found him?" James asks grinning. The boys look at each other and I see them give glances to Liam.

"Third row from the back, the fourth seat in from the left in the middle section." I say pointing him out.

"38 seconds ladies and gentlemen. That beats out Millie-Bobby Browns 42 seconds!" James announces showing the crowd the stop watch. "Everyone please welcome Zayn Malik!"
