Soon, Zoey left so we could talk amongst ourselves. The whole time she was here, she would go out of her way to address her questions to anyone but me. Not once did she address me by my name. Obviously, she didn't want to talk to me at all.

As soon as Harry had shut the door, all the boys started to scream with joy. It was the greatest feeling in the world. We were going on tour again!!! I was SO ESTATIC. Even though Zoey would be our new supervisor, I was happy to be able to live out my dreams again. This whole year has been crazy, and I cant wait to do it all over again.

"Guys," Niall said, "is it okay if I start writing a song? I have a really good idea about writing this song about two kids who fell in love over the summer."

"It doesn't sound like a completely rubbish idea to me," said Louis. "I don't have a problem with it!"

"Awesome," Niall said.

"Ya, sounds like a good idea Niall. But right now we have more important things to talk about, like what happened to Liam last night," said Harry. "Where were you?" he asked me. "You didn't come home... I saw you leave with this girl, who by the way looked a lot like Zoey. To me, you looked pretty wasted.

Harry's question stopped me in my tracks. I knew I would have to explain myself sometime, but I didn't know it would be this soon. I wasn't ready to admit to myself what I'd done to Zoey. Left her all alone, without any recognition. I didn't want her to think that she was just another girl to me. That's not who I am. But if I couldn't admit to myself what I'd done, how was I possibly supposed to be able to tell the boys? I never imagined that I would ever have to see Zoey again. Now that she has become our recording supervisor, I need to make things right between us. I just don't know how. I must have been thinking for a long time because Zayn interrupted my thoughts with an abrupt,

"Well? Are you going to spill the details or what? I promise I won't judge unless you really messed up."

So reassuring.

"Um....well.... I don't really know how to start. I don't remember much. The only thing that I remember is from this morning. I kind of...woke up in bed with Zoey.... and I was in my boxers. I know i must have done something with her because, well, you know, I sleep naked. Then I did something really awful. I told her that I didn't want to be in a relationship and then I left. Without even talking to her about anything. I just left."

All the boys were silent, while they soaked up what I was trying to tell them. None of them would even look at me. I felt terrible.

Finally, Louis tired to lighten the mood by cracking a joke.

"Well, someone is even worse than Harry!"

He managed to put a little smirk on everyone's face.

"I take it back! I judge you!" Zayn said playfully.

Then Harry said in a serious voice, "You have to make things right between you guys before we start working together tomorrow. You know what you've got to do."

And I did know. I had to go talk to her. I picked up my jacket, and ran out the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I arrived at Zoey's house in a mere 15 minutes. I hoped she was home. Finally, I reached her doorstep and pounded furiously on the door. She answered in about 30 seconds. Her sparkling blue eyes twinkled as she peered up at me. Her curly golden hair was a little scruffy like it was this morning before she had a chance to brush it.

"Liam- what are you-"

I suddenly stopped her from talking by putting my pointer finger to her lips, as I stepped inside her home. She shut the door behind me.

"Please, just let me explain. This morning, I was so confused. To be honest, I don’t really remember much about what happened last night. What I do know though, is how I treated you this morning, and I didn't like the way it all went down. I was just scared, and confused, and I was being the stupid boy that I can be sometimes. Please, let me make it up to you. Tell me anyway I can make it better, and I'll do it. After all, I am Liam f-ing Payne. We are going to be working together and I don’t want there to be any hard feelings between us. Please just accept my apology, and let me make it up to you."

She started at me with her eyes once again. The blueness of them was so clear I felt like I could peer into her soul. Finally, she answered.

"Liam Payne, take me on a date."

I was surprised she asked this of me. Even though I wanted to repair what I'd done this morning, I never expected that she would've fully forgiven me, much less wanted me to take her on a date. Something about this proposal though made me feel really happy. Maybe the first time I've been happy since I broke up with Danielle.

"I'd be delighted to go on a date with you miss Zoey Hepburn. How about I take you out to dinner Saturday?"

"No. I meant like on a date tonight!" she said.

She laughed a little after she said this. When she laughed, her eyes crinkled a bit and I could tell she was nervous. I was a little astonished to find out that she so eagerly wanted to hang out with me because I was acting so foolish around her this morning. I was pleased though, because i am very attracted to her. I never really thought of that until now, but I feel very drawn to her body. Her long legs are toned, and her skin is a fair white. It looks just like snow.

Suddenly, I felt the urge to impress her. Across the room spotted a vase of roses. I raced over, and took one out. Then on my knees and flower in hand, I said,

"Zoey Hepburn, will you go on a date with me tonight?"

Her crinkled eyes gave me the answer before she said it aloud.

"Where should we go?" she questioned.

"Leave that up to me. I have the perfect place in mind. All you have to worry about is getting ready for a night of fun. You have 20 minutes. I'll wait here."

I plopped myself down in a chair by the kitchen of her one bedroom apartment. Soon, she scrambled to get ready. After the 20 minutes plus an extra 10, she was finally done.

She emerged wearing a tight black mini dress and striking red lipstick. Her hair was brushed, and no longer poofy. She looked amazing. Correction: She looked stunning.

Extending her right hand and waving her fingers, she smiled and said, "Shall we monsieur?"

I stared at her to soak up her beauty for a couple more seconds. While getting up out of the chair, I said,

"We shall."

I grabbed her hand. Interlocking our fingers, we walked out of the apartment to our impending date together.
