*peeks out from a small gap in the door*

...sorry...

*quietly shuts the door*

So let's pretend that big ass wait for an update didn't happen (>_>)

Zayn POV

It's Josh.. It's really him sitting in that sound booth. I know my mouth is hanging open but I can't seem to move. They haven't noticed us yet - too busy practicing the song.

"Oi Oi! Josh ma man!" 

My mouth snaps shut at the same time as my head snaps to see Louis talking through the speaker to the guys. Louis raises his hands above his head as they all look to him and he shoots me a sneaky wink before waving dramatically at the band. 

They all laugh at his antics before putting down their instruments and making their way into the  room with us. 

I still can't move. My arms are frozen beside me as I lock eyes with Josh. His face breaks into a huge grin and he all but runs towards me, making me stumble back with the force he hits me with. His arms wrap tightly around my shoulders and his warmth envelops my senses.

I can smell his cologne mixed with a tinge of sweat and feel his hair tickling the side of my face. 

"pffft look at wittle Zaynie all shook up" I hear Louis laugh. Shortly followed by an "ouch!" and Harry muttering something about "behaving". My arms seem to move on their own and I wrap them around Josh's back. I shudder out a breath and pull him tighter against me, my brain finally catching up with the situation. 

I feel his chest vibrate as he chuckles before pulling away, keeping his hands on my shoulders as my hands fall to the hem of his shirt. 

"Heya Zayn" He mutters, thumb brushing against the side of my neck. 

".... hey" I say back, continuing to stare at him. 

"Well great to see you too Zayn" I hear someone say in a sarcastic tone. 

I look to the voice and see Sandy the bassist with Dan the guitarist just behind him. I laugh and quickly give them a hug. I can see that all the others have already greeted each other and my face heats up as I realise I was literally in a "Josh trance" and completely unaware of what was happening around me. 

I clear my throat awkwardly and I hear Niall snort a laugh. I send him a warning glare and he puts his hands up in surrender, still with a grin on his face. I step back and notice that everyone seems to be looking my way, making me quite anxious. Thankfully Liam walks over, patting Dan on the shoulder as he passes and strikes up a conversation with them and Josh.

I breathe out a silent thank you - Liam always seems to know when to divert attention away from me. I step back so I'm on the outside of all the bodies and take some calming breaths, steadying my racing heart rate. 

"You ok Z?" I look beside me and see Louis looking at me with a gentle smile on his face, hands in the pockets of his jeans. 

"Yeah I.. I think I'm just a bit overwhelmed. Did you know this was happening?" 

Louis shakes his head and takes a step closer, realising that I'm ok with his company at the moment. 

"Had no idea. What a great surprise though hey? What are the chances" He asks rhetorically and I just huff out an agreeable laugh. We continue to talk quietly and it really helps to ground my nerves so by the time I hear my name called to join in the conversation I am completely ok with it. 

I shoot Lou a thankful smile and pull him with me to the rest of the guys. He happily follows me, slinging an arm over my shoulder as we join the conversation. Harry and Niall are half listening however I can see that Niall has a bag of skittles and is throwing them at Harry as he tries to catch them in his mouth. After awhile they settle down and I can see that all the high emotions have started to take it's toll. 

A few minutes later and I feel Louis arm slide off my shoulder. I watch him as he quietly shuffles around the group and sidles close to Harry's side. Harry's arm instinctively wraps around his waist and pulls him closer, placing a kiss on the top of his head. 

I smile watching them. It's literally like they need their fix of each other, they don't even know they do it most of the time. Just like now, they have entered into their own little world, just needing to be close to each other. It's pretty damn cute. 

"So uh.. they seem to be going as strong as ever huh?" Josh whispers as he moves to be beside me. I look to him and hum in agreeance. 

"Yeah, they are proper loved up"

He laughs and his fingers brush against my hand thats hanging by my side. My breath falters and I open my hand, allowing him to intertwine his fingers with mine. He gives my hand a small squeeze and I smile, leaning into him a little. 

"Well I think we should get some rest and pick a day to do some practicing together." Dan says, looking around at the rest of us to see if we agree. I leave them to sort out the details and lean up to whisper in Josh's ear. 

"How about we do some catching up of our own yeah?" 

I see his Adams apple bob as he swallows and his eyes dart to mine, pupils a tad more dilated then before. 

"Ye.. Yeah. I'd like that" 

I grin and step back, looking to the others.

"We are going to grab a bite to eat first. We'll see you later?"

Everyone agrees, and I actively avoid looking towards Niall and Louis, seeing out of the corner of my eye that they are waggling their eyebrows and imitating some x-rated moves while everyone else is looking at me. 

I hold in a laugh and pull Josh away, not stopping until we are out of the building. It's dark out and no one is in viewing distance so I quickly turn, grabbing Josh's sweater and pulling him with me as I walk the few steps backwards until I'm backed against the brick wall. 

His grin widens as he catches on and he takes a more dominant stance, leaning over me as his hands grip tightly onto my hips, holding me against the wall. Before I know it his lips are on mine and within seconds I welcome his tongue into my mouth, moaning at the feeling. This kiss is hungry and messy, my hands are gripping into his hair and I think I'll have bruises on my back but I don't care. 

"I KNEW HE WOULDN'T MAKE IT FURTHER THAN THIS STREET! You owe me 20 pounds Tommo" 

We jump apart to see a slightly puffed Niall and Louis busting through the door. 

"Ahhh man!" Louis exclaims, pulling a 20 from his wallet and handing it to Niall. "I thought for sure he'd want to go somewhere private straight away"

Me and Josh stand there, still shocked at the sudden intrusion and I was just about to say something when I see Louis look back into the building, eyes widening comically. 

"Run Niall!" he shouts, grabbing Niall's arm and running down the street, pulling a tumbling Niall behind him. About 3 seconds later, Harry and Liam bust through the door as well.

Sparing a quick glance towards us, Liam mutters a "I am so sorry about them" and Harry just shoots me a wink and a cheeky grin.

"So Niall was right" he says. Liam hits him on the arm and Harry laughs yelling a "Have fun tonight you two!" over his shoulder as both alphas run down the street after their omegas. My cheeks heat up in embarrassment, even more so when Dan and Sandy exit the building, looking our way as well. 

They play it cool though, giving us a casual wave and continuing down the street, leaving me and Josh alone again. 

"Oh my god" I breath out as Josh just laughs. I bury my face in his chest and he wraps his arm around my waist. 

"C'mon. Let's go back to my room so we don't get so rudely interrupted again"

I nod into his chest and let him lead me in the opposite direction towards his room. 

My heart rate picks up the closer we get and the anticipation is adding to the excitement. 

Tonight is going to be good.
