Chapter 2
Beep Beep Beep Beep. Why did my alarm clock have to be so annoying? I hit the 'off' button. Ahh, that was better. But I knew Dev would come in to wake me up any minute If I didn't get up now. I hopped out of bed and into my very own shower. I felt the warm water steam down my body, it felt really good. After I shampooed and conditioned, I stepped out of the shower and dryed myself off with a towel. I blowdryed my long blonde hair, then straightened it infront of the huge mirror in my bathroom. Putting on mascara and lipgloss, I wished I was prettier. I had never had a real boyfriend. My friends told me I was pretty, but honestly, that doesn't really count. I felt a bit down as I threw on some jean shorts and my Grateful Dead t-shirt, Dev told me to dress casual. I slung my purse over my shoulder and checked my phone before putting on my blue converses. 6 missed calls, and 3 new messages. All from Mom. I let out a exhausted sigh and texted her,
Off to work, call you later, xx Maddy
Hopefully that would hold her off till later.
"Maddy! Time to go!" Dev called.
"Coming!" I slipped my phone into my pocket and followed him out to the car.
The studio was huge. I had never been in a place with so many rooms and luxuries. It was absolutely awesome. Dev gave my a tour and showed me where everything was before sending me to get todays shedule. First on the list, none other than ONE DIRECTION. My heart skipped a beat. Dammit. Why did they have to be first? I wasn't going to be able to concentrate. Would Dev indroduce me? I couldn't contain the excitement I felt as I brought my brother his shedule. He was checking the micks in one of the studios.
"You didn't tell me One Direction was coming this morning!" I accused him.
"I didn't know you cared." He said, a devlish grin becoming visible on his face. I blushed and instantly regretted telling him.
"Dev, I swear if you-" I was cut off.
"I won't embarrass you. I promise." he chuckled.
"Good." I said before turning on my heels to get some coffee.
"Well.....maybe just a little." Dev said quietly as I left the room.
"DEV!" I shouted back, but he just laughed.
Suddenly I heard the door to the main studio open. I strolled back into the studio with my coffee as 5 exteremly attractive boys entered. One Direction. My heart was beating a million miles a minute. Liam caught my eye first, he was built and held the door open for the other boys like a gentleman. Harry strutted into the room rocking his famous curls and plaid shirt. Then Niall came in, he had a cute smile plastered on his face like always and was wearing swets. Zayn was fourth to enter, he ran his hands though his dark quiff as he approached my brother. Louis entered last. His tousled hair was absolute perfection and his red skinny jeans were adorable. I had forgotten where I was and that I was staring until Dev called me back.
"Maddy? Come meet the boys."
I felt incredibly out of place and awkward as I approached them. They were gorgeous, and I was just.....Maddy. Average from phisique to face, I was no model. I tried to hide my insecurities as I flashed them my best smile, which they all returned. I felt really lightheaded.
"Are you alright love?" It was Liam who spoke. Damn, I must have looked as sick as I felt. Dev laughed really hard, and before I knew it, heat was rushing to my cheeks and I was doing the same. The boys looked confused.
"Im fine, really. Just a bit shaken I guess." I smiled.
Harry whispered something into Niall's ear, and he snickered.
"She's pretty awkward. You get used to it." Dev said cheekily, and the boys laughed. I shrugged. I couldn't really deny it. "Boys, this is Maddy. Maddy, I'm assuming you know them already. Shall we get started then?"
The boys had really lovely voices. I had never heard them live before. They each had such unique tones and had incredible ranges. I was in a daze. I couldn't help but stare at them. I felt a pair of eyes on me. Blue eyes. W-Was Louis staring at me? My eyes met his for a moment, but he looked away, embarrassed. That was weird.
The last song to record was Little Things. I had heard the song before. I cried every time I was exposed to it. Ed Sheeran was truley a genius. I was already getting teary eyed, so I excused myself to get more coffee so I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of them. When I came back, they were just finishing up.
"What now boys? Nandos?" Niall suggested.
"Sure." said Harry. "Hey Dev! Want to come to Nandos with us?"
Dev considered. "Sure." Then he looked to me.
"Oh! And bring your sister!" Louis shouted through the glass, winking at me. I blushed.
"Well, how could we say no to such an incredible offer?" My brother said sarcastically.
"Exactly. You can ride with us." Zayn suggested. "We can drop you guys back off here after."
"Cool." I said, and I followed the boys out to their cars. Liam, Niall, Dev, and Harry were to ride in Harry's car. Zayn, Louis, and I were riding in Zayn's car. Louis was driving.
"So Maddy, how do you like working for Dev?" Zayn said.
"I just started, so I don't really know yet. I guess it's okay." I replied.
"I bet you'll have a lot of celebrity admirers." Louis started. What did that even mean?
"Why do you say that?" I inquired.
"Well, your cute, blonde, and american. British guys like that sort of thing." Zayn said casually. "Did you not see Harry?" Zayn chuckled. Louis's face was stone.
They thought I was cute?
"I don't know what you're talking about." And I didn't. Zayn just continued to laugh.
"So, I'll take it Harry isn't going to get very far? This is great, it's time a girl rejected him. Good for his ego." Zayn snickered. Louis smiled then.
"He'll probably try to sit with you at Nandos. When he does, say you'd like to sit somwhere else. It'll be a great show." Louis was now laughing.
"But i just met him! That would be rude!" They didn't answer, we had just pulled into Nandos. I giggled then also. This was bound to be interesting.
