"Hey, Y/N!" A girl calls from behind me, making me whip around instantly and probably attack Emily or Andrea with my hair. "Can I get a picture with you?"
The guys are in New York for Digi NYC, so being the good and supportive girlfriend I am, I came along with them to cheer Nate on the loudest from side stage.
"Just attack my eye then, Y/N, yep, that's cool with me, I'm fine being blind in one eye." Andrea mutters, wiping her eye in pain yet still managing to roll her eyes with her intolerable level of sass.
"I'm sorry!" I can't help but laugh at her misfortune, it wasn't meant to happen, but what can I do, I have long hair. "I apologise on behalf of my hair."
"You better watch your damn back-" She gets cut off by the shouting fans repeatedly calling my name. "Go ahead, Princess." I flash her an innocent smile before carefully, avoiding hitting anyone, flipping my hair back over my shoulder.
"Hi! Of course!" I excuse myself from my conversation and skip over to the small group of fans. "How are you guys today?"
"We're all really excited!" One girl answers, clutching her phone to her chest with a big grin.
"Who are you anticipating the most?" I ask, resting my arms on the metal barrier and looking at each of the girls.
I think Skates fans like me, but I'm not entirely sure. It's always going to be mixed opinions because not everyone is going to like you and I accept that, but for the most part, I think I'm well liked.
I'm a huge fangirl myself (Nate hates it but he's learning to love it) so I can relate to all of the fans on a more personal level.
"I'm excited for Sammy and Skate and the Jacks, but I'm more excited to see Demi!" Another girl answers, flashing me her Demi Lovato shirt and bracelet.
"You don't have to say you like Nate in front of me because I'm his girlfriend, you know that." I grin, raising one eyebrow with a laugh. "I mean, I don't like him all too much, he's really annoying," I sarcastically drag, rolling my eyes in a jokey way. "But yeah, I'm always the one who cries backstage so."
"I saw Emily's Snapchat of you crying during sound check." The girl who called me over comments and I instantly flush red.
Nate put his heart and soul into sound check just a few hours ago and I couldn't help but shed a few tears. I'm very dedicated to him and his music and he has so much talent and he's so under appreciated!
The others really liked taking the piss out of me and publicly humiliating me by taking photos and videos and posting them on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and Vine.
"Yeah, he honestly put so much effort into making those songs and he deserves so much more attention! I'm so proud of him, I just couldn't help it."
"I thought it was really adorable!"
"Yeah, Nate is really lucky to have such a supportive girlfriend who is there for him and his dreams and not his fame and fortune!"
"That honestly makes my heart swell, you guys are so sweet!" They're the first of any of the boys' fans to say anything like that to me! I don't really know how I'm supposed to respond to it, but it makes me feel so good, honestly.
The group of girls introduce themselves as Sarah, Kelly, Morgan, Alisha and Sapphire and I take selfies with each of them individually and a group selfie. I get to talking with them about different things about the boys and what it's like to travel around with a mass number of boys and only having one girl constantly by my side.
It's a struggle, definitely.
"Where's Nate now?" Morgan asks after we take another photo, locking her phone and holding it in her hand.
"Uh, I'm not actually sure." I scratch the back of my head awkwardly. "He's off with the boys somewhere around here, they're probably messing about, annoying some staff and causing trouble." Yep, sounds about right.
All 5 of the girls laugh to themselves and make small jokes about what I had said. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were hidden in the food tent, stuffing their faces before the event has even started.
Sapphire clears her throat and quiets down her group of friends, "What's your favourite Nate song, Y/N?"
"That's a hard question..." I rest a finger on my chin in a ponder, even though I already know the answer. "Ride Wit Me feat Jack J, also known as Outro."
"Why that song?"
"Because him and Johnson rap so well together and I know that he put a lot of effort into it."
Also because Johnson is featured on the track.
The girls then tell me their favourite Nate song and why it's their favourite, and they do delve into such great detail! One of them even told me their favourite line in the entire song.
"Have you met any of the guys before?" I ask the girls, resting my chin in my hand. None of them bother to answer, they just look at me awkwardly. "Is there something wrong?"
Silence.
They don't answer my question, just watch me. Did I say something wrong? I don't think I did, I've been really nice to them and even offered to get them Nate follows, but I'm being swerved...
"Hel-"
That's when I feel a huge spray of water all over my back, a big pressure hitting the centre of my spine causing me to arch my back in shock and whack my hips against the metal barriers.
"What the fuck?!"
It wasn't even that much water but I can feel my shirt sticking against my back and going transparent against my skin, and little drops of water trickling down the back of my jeans and into my pants.
I don't even have to turn around to know who it was, it's pretty damn obvious that it's my extremely mature boyfriend with a cheesy, guilty grin plastered on his lips.
"Nathan Montgomery Maloley, I am going to kill you!"
I whip around, without attacking anyone with my hair, and face my boyfriend with a pissed off look. I rest my hands on my hip and raise an eyebrow at him. He does nothing but shrug his shoulders and smile.
What a cheesy ass bastard.
Ugh, he's so adorable.
"You don't really want to kill me, your amazing, loving boyfriend, do you?" He asks, 'hiding' the massive water gun behind his back and taking a step towards me.
I scoff a laugh, "Oh, believe me, I will."
"No baby, you won't."
I completely deadpan into a resting bitch face and blankly stare at my cheesy boyfriend. Of course I wouldn't literally kill him, not in public anyway.
I look down at his body and notice that he's completely wet through, his black jeans are a shade darker, they're going to be a bitch to get off, and I can see his entire torso through his shirt. These girls behind me must be having a field day right now.
"Can I have a hug?" He asks, taking another step forward and raising his arms out. "I want a hug."
"Not when you're that wet you can't." I take a step away but he follows me, only taking one step at a time.
Nate grins at me with a playful glint in his eye, he slowly pulls the water gun out from behind his back and aims it at my stomach, silently threatening to pull the trigger and completely soak my front like he did to my back.
"Nathan, don't."
"Don't what?" He asks, stepping closer and pushing his finger down on the trigger harder than before. "Am I not allowed to show my baby affection?"
I roll my eyes and mentally start to freak out as my back hits the metal railing. "Soaking me with a water gun isn't affectionate, Nate."
"But babe, it's so fun!" He grins, pushing the trigger down again and lightly squirting some water at me. "See! It's just a bitta fun!"
"I haven't got any spare clothes with me and this is already spreading to the front." I whine.
"You can wear my flannel." He says quickly and wraps his arms around my body, pulling me tight into his chest to make sure that I'm completely soaked, just like he is.
"Oh for Gods sake, Nate!" He rocks me side to side and quietly laughs in my ear. "Why do you do this shit to me?"
"Because I love you," He cheeses, kissing the side of my head and pulling me against him tighter, I'm near to suffocation, I swear. "And because it's fun to annoy you."
"You're an ass, babe."
He pulls back a little bit and wipes his sweaty forehead with the back of his hand. "An ass that you love."
"Unlucky for me."
I look down at my top and cringe, it's completely transparent and anyone can see my bright pink bra. Why didn't I colour coordinate my outfit completely?
Oh, yes, right, I didn't know that I would get attacked by a damn water gun so I didn't dress for the occasion.
"Just shut up and enjoy my hug, love bug."
I tilt my head and raise my eyebrows again, "'Love bug', really, Nate? You're starting up on the cheesy nicknames again?"
"Of course I am, pumpkin."
I can't help myself.
"...Spice latte."
"This is why I love you and why I wanted to attack you with my water."
