I Work For One Direction

Chapter 8

I stepped out of my building at 7:30-ish. I packed everything I needed. Clothes, of course, all of my makeup stuff and all of my hair stuff. I packed the books I liked to read the most and my lap top. It felt strange that I was about to move in with 5 guys I barley knew but yet felt I knew them enough to move in with them. I was never raised into a big family and it kind of felt that way with these guys. They made me feel welcomed and I liked that feeling. I had made an effort to get ready this morning and I had no idea why. My hair was out up for the millionth time and my pangs were pinned to the side. I wore a pair of faded blue shorts and a white crop too with a bright blue sports bra underneath. My makeup was done as usual. I might shade of eye shadow and smile mascara but I also added some blush to put some color into my skin.

A honk caught my attention and I saw Harry's familiar car pull up. I walked to the car and he came out. "That's it?" He asked.

"I told you I could manage." I said handing him my medium sized duffle bag full of stuff. "Just be careful my lap top is in there." I said.

He gently put the back into the trunk and inspected me. "How come you never wear your hair down?" He asked walking to the passenger side and opening the door for me.

"I do, it's just easier because my hair gets in the way of my face when I'm working." I said.

"Oh. Paul wanted me to give this to you." He said handing me an envelope. He closed my door and walked over to his side.

I opened the envelope just as he sat inside the car. My eyes widened at the amount of numbers on the piece of paper. "Holy crap!" I scoffed.

"What is it?" He asked.

"My first pay check!" I said happily. "Woah. That's a lot of numbers! I've never made this much money before! I could pay off my rent for the next 2 months with this! Holy canolie!"

He laughed abruptly.

"What?" I asked blushing at how much of a dork I had just acted.

"Nothing. You're just.."

"What? I'm just what?" I asked.

"Real." He said starting the car.

"Thanks?" I didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or not.

"You're welcome."

I made a quick pancake breakfast for the boys with the help of Harry. I felt bad that he had to wake up early. Liam woke up and had his regular morning tea. I rushed to prepare the boys for their long day ahead of them.

"Hey Liam."

"Hmm?"

"What do you guys do when you leave?" I asked looking at him.

"Recording studio." He said.

"Ohhh." I said smirking at my self. Of course Jess what else could it have been.

The boys had left and I went straight to cleaning. I finished two hours before I had to get cooking. I decided to cash my check and pay for the rest of my things.

I paid my rent and Internet bill and got electricity out of the way. By the time I was done I had 240 left. I didn't know what to do with that kind of money.

I wondered what the boys liked. I went and got some ice cream for Niall. I smiled at the flavored and picked the one with the most everything. I got a key ring for Harry'a key chain with the words flirt on it with a heart dotting the eye. I got a mug for Liam and his morning tea drinking which I printed the words daddy direction on it. I got some extra funny movies for Louis and I to watch which included a lot of Jim Carey. I got a pair of checkered ear rings for Zayn.
