I LOVE IT WHEN WE PLAY 1950 (L.S)

Album Shoot

LOUIS POV.

It is officially the first week of August.

I can't believe how fast the time has flown by.

Today all of us were at a photoshoot for the next album cover.

I'm really excited, it's been a while since we've done a big photoshoot like this.

All of us are in a blacked-out van, the driver taking us to wherever Ben Winston had decided to take the photos.

Even though Ben wasn't a photographer, just a pretty amazing director. He apparently 'had a vision' for the cover and practically took over the whole creative process. I didn't mind though.

I was staring out of the car. Even though it was August today's weather wasn't warm and sunny at all. The clouds are grey and small specs of rain shot at the darkened window.

Niall was seated in the front with the driver, making endless conversation with the most random stuff ever, luckily the driver seemed to enjoy the interaction and doesn't look like he wants to strangle Niall over the conversation.

In the middle of the van sat Liam, Zayn and Paul. He decided he'd come with us to keep us in check, and also because there needed to be a member of official management when we left the house. Just in case the fans try to swamp us, or........ if Harry and I tried any stunts while we were in public.

Behind those three sat Harry and I. Harry had his ring filled hand on my left thigh, squeezing it every so often. He was looking out of the other window of the van. My hand was slightly on top of his, our pinkie fingers laced. We were trying to be as discreet as possible.

Usually, we could be touchy and feely while we were in cars as management took us places but this time the driver wasn't hired my management. He was just some regular taxi van driver because none of our cars could carry us all in one trip.

Harry and I hadn't spoken much the entire ride. The silence wasn't awkward though. We had fixed everything that happened between us and were doing better than ever.

Honestly, I don't think anything could kick me off my high horse at the moment.

''Boys can I grab your attention for a second'' Paul speaks up, holding his phone out. All of us quieten. Niall stops mid rant about last week's golf tournament and even the driver turns the music down a little.

Harry and I also snap out heads to the man seated in the middle row, showing him, we are also listening.

''I just got an email from Jeff'' He begins, coughing slightly to clear his throat before he reads. ''Hi Paul, when you receive this email please read this out to the boys- bla bla bla- okay so- boys, you are shooting you album cover at the Royal Albert Hall today'' Paul stops as Niall yells in excitement.

''I did my orchestra show there three years ago, that's awesome'' He pumps his fist slightly and Zayn mumbled a small 'shut up Niall' he was smirking through, obviously joking with him.

''As I was saying, the album cover will be shot there. There is a theme for the cover though, how it will be shot will be explained by the photographer while you are there, but I wanted to give you a heads up on the fashion side''. Paul stops again and looks at the phone puzzled. ''because this is an album about coming together with the band and bringing your new styles and individual solo-ness together, the outfits you each individually wear will be one of your favourites looks you have already worn during that solo career. Lambert is already at the building with racks full of individual outfits you have warn in interviews, tour shows, photoshoots etc. You will be able to choose from that. Have a great shoot boys and remember you have an interview straight after with Radio One''. Paul finished and the van was engulfed in silence.
