18
"I have loved you since we were 18, long before we both thought the same thing; to be loved and to be in love. All I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you. I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18..."

(a/n: Enjoy ;) )
Liam POV
"You ready to take it like a good slút?" Zayn licks the shell of my ear, tugging my hair and placing the tip of his côck against my fluttering hole. I moan obscenely, pulling on my restraints that have me tied down to the bed. "Mmm... such a good boy," Zayn purrs, pushing his dïck in my tight heat. Next thing I know, Cleo walks into the bedroom and slaps me.
"WAKE YA FLAT ÁSS UP!!"
It was a dream. It was all just a dream...
My eyes flutter open to see Zayn and Cleo looking over me with curiosity. "Wow, never knew you were such a screamer." Clo smirks. Oh no... Zayn and her stand up straight.
"Wha-What happened?" I ask sitting up. I notice Niall and Louis are gone but Zayn and Cleo remain; oh, Cleo's girlfriend, Nina, is here too. She must of gotten here while I was out.
"Well, Payno, you fainted. You were out for about three minutes, and judging from the noising you were making it was a good three minutes. By the way, remind me to get you fuzzy handcuffs for your birthday," Clo says thoughtfully.
"Wha- Fuzzy handcuffs?" I gawk.
"Might I quote your sleep talking," she clears her throat. Oh no... "Oh, daddy! Tie me up and fúck me so hard that I can't walk," her 'moans' very exaggerated. I feel the heat automatically rush to my cheeks. "Zayn, any input?" No no no no! Clo, what are you doing?!?!
"I'm honestly shocked and flattered that I could cause someone that much hórniness." He chuckles. I blush harder, hiding my crimson cheeks in my hands. "By the way, I prefer calling my partner 'Daddy' rather than being called it." The devil himself winks. Oh, lord...
*******
Harry POV
"How much longer until we can tell her?" I ask Ashton on the screen of my laptop. Ashton and I talk regularly on Skype while he's in Australia for his job.
"It won't be long. Right, Ashy?" Michael giggles kissing Ashton on the cheek. I shake my head at the couple's cuteness.
"I want to know exactly how long. I can't keep hiding this big secret from the girl I love." I state so they understand that I need a time frame.
"Alright, Haz. If you want a certain amount of time how about tomorrow afternoon. We can catch an earlier flight. I already have two tickets to London. Since Maggie has taken her place as queen, it's about time Cleo knows why my real boyfriend killed her father." Ash informs me. I let out a sigh of relief at his words.
"Okay, I need to head to Cleo's show at the pub tonight. Bye, Ashton. Bye, Mikey."
"Bye, loverboy! Oi, give Cleo a reason to breakup with her girlfriend." Ashton chuckles. I can't help but grin because of the dorky Australian. (a/n: Mwahahaha)
*******
Nina POV (a/n: Just so you know, Nina is Nina Nesbitt)
I honestly don't mind Louis and Cleo's relationship. They aren't really dating and it's for business; Cleome is actually too nice for her own good. She really is a good person and she wants what's best for her friends and family. I'm so lucky to have her as my girlfriend. It's too bad I'm cheating on her with her cousin, Ed.
*******
Cleome POV ( a/n: Cleome is played by Gabrielle Aplin so that's why Cleome is such a good singer in this story. Merp :D )
As Liam and I take our place on the stage, I notice Niall has put Luke to work behind the bar while he sits and chats with Nina, Louis, and Zayn in a booth not far from the stage. Hmm... Harry's late. I turn to Liam to see him wiping his clammy hands on his jumper. He's most likely worried what Zayn will think of his singing; Liam absolutely loves singing but he's always been very self-conscious. I remember all those nights when Liam, Harry, and I would lay on the floor, halfway piled up on top of each other, talking about anything and everything. And one night, Liam spent two whole hours talking about him being bullied and all of his insecurities because of it. I remember word for word what I told him after he broke down; "I may be royalty but I have insecurities too. I worry too much about the people I care for and I worry that one day they won't worry about me. I just don't want to be forgotten..."
My eyes water a bit at the memory. I run my hand over the upper part of Liam's back so he'll relax a little. He looks at me with worried eyes and I give a heartwarming smile, he returns the favor. I hook my phone up to the sound system so we can play the instrumental in the background. Liam takes his seat on one of the two stools in front of the mic stands. I hit play on my phone and the first chord plays; I quickly walk to the other stool beside Liam. I see we've got most of the pub's attention to us on stage, Louis and Zayn look very eager to see us play. Ok, here comes my part...
I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows we were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared and then I was all alone
I look to see Louis and Zayn shocked because of my voice and Niall is just sitting there, looking pretty cocky with himself. Then there's Nina, smiling beautifully at me; God, I love her but I'm not sure.
I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow
I smile to myself that I'm actually impressing Zayn and Louis. It's a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling.
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Liam's part is next. I can tell he's worried. He shouldn't worry though; his voice is far more better than mine.
In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know
Zayn looks like he just heard a freaking angel sing. Well, he basically did.
So I'll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes and love with no regrets
Louis is stunned but is poking Zayn's cheek repeatedly to get him out of his trance. I hold back a laugh at the two dorks. Liam isn't playing any attention to them; he's singing with his eyes closed, lost in the music.
Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow
Time for me and Li to sing together. Mwahahaha.
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Hey
Whoa
Louis is still poking Zayn's cheek.
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
The song fades out and Louis, Zayn, Nina, and Niall are on their feet clapping while the rest of the pub claps regularly, Luke's clapping a little harder though. We thank the audience and Liam steps off the stage only to basically be attacked by Zayn. Zayn then leads a blushing Liam over to the booth. Those two are going to date sooner or later, I just know it.
I unplug my phone from the sound system then plugging my acoustic guitar into the amp. I return to my seat on the stool. "Alright, this next song is called 18. It's originally performed by a little singer named Zayn Malik." I smirk at Zayn who is excited; he's probably excited to see if I mess his song up or not. I strum the first few chords, slightly poking my tongue out the side of my mouth, focusing on the rhythm to get into the flow of the song. I start to sing.
I got a heart
And I got a soul
Believe me I will use them both
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don't want to feel alone
Zayn looks pretty pleased with my singing, wrapping an arm around Liam's waist. Ziam is officially OTP!
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I can't help but let my mind drift to how this song reminds me about me and Harry's relationship. When me and Harry were both 18, we dated during the summer. We decided since we had graduated, we would move to London together. We moved into houses right next to each other. After a while, I felt it would be better that we stayed friends.
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
Not long after we broke things off, I met Nina at the pub and things really took off. Then a few months later, our 'friend', Michael, killed my father when Harry was first meeting Ashton. Soon after, Ashton and Michael broke up. Michael ran off and we've never seen him since.
We took a chance
God knows we tried
Yet all along, I knew we'd be fine
Ashton and Harry decided to start dating not long after Ashton left the UK after visiting Calum and Luke. Harry was depressed for a while after we broke up but Ashton helped him though. Ashton really is a nice boy but for some reason, deep down, I just don't like him; he makes Harry happy when I want to be the one to make him happy.
So pour me a drink, oh, love,
Let's split the night wide open and we'll see everything
We can livin' love in slow motion, motion, motion
As if on cue, Harry steps through the door of pub; his enchanting eyes automatically land on me and he smiles brightly, heading to the booth where Niall is flagging him down by waving his arms as high in the air as he can. At least the tall, lanky boy could see the little leprechaun.
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
Of course I still love Harry but he's my best friend and we're both dating other people.
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you, oh
And I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
My feelings are all confusing me in these times. I've talked to Liam about it because I knew he'd support me; I mean, why would Daddy not support me?
When we were 18
Oh, Lord, when we were 18
Liam told me to get a therapist.
Kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I'm honestly scared that Harry only loves me as a friend.
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
At least I can admit I still have feeling for him. I guess I could try to forget my feelings for Harry and focus on my relationship with Nina.
To be loved and to be in love
And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I've loved Harry since we were 18...
