"Welcome to the band man!"

"Congrats!"

"We should celebrate!"

"Fuck yeah!"

All the boys cheer making me smile brightly. I knew they were going to love Harry, but I didn't know they would click with each other so soon with him. I love that they are all getting along, it looks like they've known each other for years rather.

"Love, are you coming?" A sweet raspy voice breaks me out of my thoughts. I look over to be met with forest green eyes.

"Oh uh.. Yeah." I smile sheepishly at Harry, leaving a quick kiss on his cheek making him smile cutely, showing his dimples.

It's been over an hour since we all decided Harry should be let into the band, and I couldn't be more joyful as ever. Liam left soon, well, he was still in my flat but was in the bathroom doing god knows what.

"Come on guys! Let's go the pub." Zayn speaks up, grabbing a hold of Harry and Niall.

"Oh my god he's touching me!" Harry mouths to me in excitement making me laugh. I will never get tired of Harry Edward Styles.

I start following the three of them, when suddenly there's a hand on my shoulder, making me turn around.

"Oh hey Li, what's up I question, looking at him. Louis looks at me a frown on his face, he quickly shakes his head.

"Can we talk?" He questions, I nod. He makes sure Zayn, Niall, and Harry are gone before speaking again. "Management doesn't want to sign Harry."

"What?"

"I.. I went over to call them a few moments ago while everyone was chatting with Harry... Modest was pretty pissed off over the fact we made a decision with out them.." Liam sighs, running a hand through his hair. "In fact so pissed off that they threatened to drop us."

I feel anger boiling inside me. "They can't do that!"

"They can." Liam sighs. "Well.. Uh.. I talked to Simon after this.. He said we can leave modest, but no one would want to sign us with them in such short notice. We may be massively famous, but the paper work.. Everything is going to take months--"

"I have someone."

"I'm really sorry Lou-- what?"

I smile. "I have a record label that would love to sign us.. In just a day."

"Who?"

"Well," I lick my lips. "Remember when I mentioned Harry and I were going to become partnered artists, and we were going to seal the deal?"

Liam nods.

"Well, Mr. Wills has all the papers done already.. I'm sure he'll be delighted to sign one direction with his record label. Not to mention he's a close friend of Simon as well and Ed."

"T-That's amazing.. But are you sure he will like the idea of us being with you lads?"

"I'm positive." I nod, patting Liam's shoulder. "And if not, I'll just tell Ed to keep nagging jack about signing us."

"Jack?"

"That's Mr. Wills first name." I nod.

"Jack.. Wills.. Jack Wills is his name?"

"Uh.. Yeah?"

"Like the beer?"

"Yup, just like the beer." I chuckle lightly. "Now, let's go to the pub."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The pub is ironically quiet tonight.. Most like considering the fact we payed them for it to be a private place for the lads and I.

Liam sits over at the bar, getting drunk as he tweets random drunk stuff on twitter to the fans. Zayn and Niall are over at the dart board, playing but also arguing at the same time. Something about Niall accusing Zayn in cheating while Zayn tells Niall how he can't cheat if he's standing next to him blah blah.

I just came out of the restroom, my hands still a bit damp after washing my hands. I feel a little tipsy, as I look around for Harry who is sitting in a booth alone, sipping on some beer as he reads something on his phone.

What could he be reading?

A smirk takes over my face as I quietly walk over to him. His back is facing me, as I peek over his shoulder at the small mobile device.

"What are you reading?" I ask into Harry's right ear, making the poor boy jump.

"Jesus Christ." He huffs, placing his hand on his heart, quickly locking his phone. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"And you're very welcome for that." I grin cheekily, sitting in the booth chair in front of his own. I pour some more beer into my mug, before taking a sip of it. "So anyway what were you reading?"

"A book." He quickly says, looking all around the room.

"What kind of book?"

"A certain kind of book."

"Don't be a smart ass with me Styles." I jokingly say, making Harry smile a small smile. "Were you like reading porn or something?"

Harry's face reddened, "N-No--"

"Oh my god you were!" I say quite loudly, earning the attention of Zayn, Niall and Liam, but I just ignore their gazes and keep my attention focused on Harry.

"No." Harry shakes his head. "I was reading something else."

"Which was..?"

"Fanfiction." He mutters under his breath.

"Fanfiction?" I question, trying to hold in my laughter. "Isn't that what our fans write?"

"Yeah.." He mumbles. "It's really good actually, and I really do recommend you to read it sometime."

"I've read a couple actually." I chuckle.

"W-What?"

I nod, taking another sip of beer. "Yeah, I was really bored and going through my mentions when I came upon a book which was Fanfiction.. Really dirty if I may add.."

"Which one did you read?"

"I don't remember honestly." I frown. "But all I can remember it was really dirty."

"Damn.."

"I know right?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jack sits in behind his desk, starting at the lads and I. We just came over and told him what was going on, and now, he's looking at us.. Deciding.

"So," he clears his voice. "You want me to sign One Direction into my record label?"

"Yes sir." Liam speaks up politely.

"Yeah." Niall nods, as he fidgets in his spot.

I stay seated there, as I look at Jack with hopeful eyes. He looks back at me, his blue eyes looking at me intently then at the rest of the boys.

"Okay fine," he starts, grabbing a paper from a file. "I've made my decision."

I feel Harry lace our fingers together as we wait for Jack to speak.

"Just sign in these boxes... And you'll be officially with my company and I."
