Nothing But You [COMPLETED]

Well Paid Babysitter

Connor opened the door to see Joe, their manager, and a girl standing next to him, who had wavy bubblegum pink hair that turned to purple at the ends where it rested on her collarbones, beautifully tanned skin and hazel eyes that were looking between them with curiosity. She was wearing a black crop top under her leather jacket, and tight jeans that hugged her curvy figure. She was resting her weight on one leg, a clipboard on the opposite hip, one foot crossed over the other and housed in black, sparkly Dr Martens.

"Joe, what are you doing here?" Connor asked.

"Hi," the girl said, walking into the house and grabbing Connor's hand to shake. "I'm Luka." Connor just stared at her with his eyebrows raised. The rest of the band were watching from the front room.

"That's...nice?" Connor looked between her and Joe. "What are you doing here?"

"This is Luka." Joe repeated.

"I don't think that's answering the question mate." James called from the front room, as the rest of the band stood up and started walking over.

Luka frowned and turned to Joe.

"You didn't tell them." She said bluntly, making his face drop in panic.

"No, I absolutely did tell them." He stuttered back to her.

"Well they don't seem to know a thing about me so I'm guessing you didn't."

"I'm gonna clarify," Tris said, holding his hands up. "Joe has told us nothing about a girl called Luka."

Luka sighed heavily and rubbed her forehead.

"Uhh..." Joe stammered. "She's...she's... I really didn't tell you?"

"I'm your new assistant." She answered for him. "Also Joe's niece. Joe was supposed to tell you two weeks ago but he obviously forgot cos he's old." She said, sticking her tongue out at him and walking into the living room to chuck her backpack on the sofa. The band watched her in confusion, then turned back to Joe.

"An assistant?" James asked, the frowning becoming a common feature across all the guys' faces.

"I...don't mean to be rude... but... why? Why do we need an assistant?" Connor asked, slowly, as though he was trying not to offend her.

"Because...you guys are great musicians but...not so great at organising yourselves. You are releasing a new album, you have press, media, marketing, publicity, interviews and meetings. Hence, Luka." Joe mumbled the last part.

"We did okay for the last album." Tristan scoffed.

"You were late to the AMAs." Joe glared at him, and Tristan shrunk down. "And almost missed 3 interviews."

"Look," She interrupted, stepping forward a little and drawing the eyes of everyone. "I'm not here to step on anyone's toes." She smiled. "I'll be sorting stuff in the background. You'll barely know I'm here."

"Except that... she will actually....also be living here." Joe muttered.

"Well yes but in the background." She repeated with an eye roll.

"She what now?" Brad squeaked out, ignoring Luka completely. "Here? With us?"

"But this is the band house." James added.

"She's not in the band!" Connor agreed.

"She's the band assistant." Joe said with a slightly raised voice. "You boys have a lot to do to get this next album out after a two year 'break', so it needs to be done right. Luka is here to make sure it's done right so I don't have to keep coming over."
