Troublemaker (a One Direction fanfic)

*Emerald's POV*

I'm just washing the tables of the pretty popular night club I work at, when out of the corner of my eye I see the manager, Rickey, yelling at my co-worker best friend, Jake. I move to a closer table so I could hear what Rickey was upset about. I hear Rickey say;

"What do you mean Justin Bieber cancelled!?" He shouted at Jake. Jake replies stuttering,

"I'm sorry- Justin just cancelled. Personal issues, his manager said."

"Well where in hell am I going to find a last minute replacement?"My boss screams. Jake shoots a glance in my direction and he grins as I look away. I hear Rickey say

"Emerald! Get over here ASAP!" I walk over to the pair of them and Rickey says "Jake here, tells me that you have a quite talented voice."

"Um..." I say, not wanting to sound full of myself

"Good!" Rickey says cutting me off "Go to the back room, pick out one of the performing outfits and have Lola quickly do your make-up and you'll be the filler for tonight. Jake will take over the duty of busting tables for you. Now go!"

Jake taps my back as if to say 'hurry up and do what he says!' and on that note I make my way to the back room. I get stopped by a group of five boys that look to be around my age and the one with a mass of curly hair said,

"Well hello there, love. Would you fancy having a drink?" He says smirking and raking his eyes over my body.

"No thanks, Hotshot. Troublemakers aren't my type." I say pushing past him with my own smug look on my face.

"We'll see about that" he says under his breath as his friends are drunkenly laughing at him being turned down. It makes me think that he's isn't used to being rejected. Sucks for him, I think as I roll my eyes. The bloke will have to learn sooner or later.

I enter the back room and gasp at seeing the dresses that they had hanging on the rack. I instantly spot a red sleeveless dress that had black fishnet gloves and black heels as accessories. I pick out the outfit and put it on. It fit perfectly. I find Lola, the make-up artist, and she puts on the make-up that matches the dress. She stands back to admire her work.

"Damn, Emerald, you look sexy. The guys are gonna love ya!"

I smile at her. "Thanks Lola!"

"Now go! I think it would be cool to do the song Troublemaker! It'll make the guys drool. But that's just my opinion. You're gonna kill it out there!"she says, fixing my hair one last time and pushing me towards the door.

I thank Lola again and I find Jake busting another table. I walk over to him and tap him on the shoulder. He turns around and says checking me out;

"Damn, Em, you look great! If I wasn't gay.." I started to laugh and he says "Now go! It's time for you to perform! Kill 'em, Em!"

I see Rickey go up on stage and tap the microphone to see if it's on. He sees that it is, and starts saying;

"Hey, everybody! I have a couple of announcements to make tonight. Justin Bieber will be unable to perform tonight, because of personal reasons. But in his place will be the lovely Emerald Thorn, so, enjoy the show!"

Jake nudges me onto the stairs and whispers in my ear, "Go get 'em, tiger"

I walk up the stairs smiling and get on the stage to stand next to Rickey. He puts the microphone back on the stand and before walking off tells me, "They're all yours, Em."

"Thanks" I reply and then walk over to the mic.

"Hi, I'm Emerald Thorn, and I'll do a different mix of songs tonight. I'm going to start off with one of my favorites that I'm sure you'll reconize." I lean over to the musicians and whisper "Do you know the song Troublemaker?" They grin and nod their heads yes. I smile and face back to the crowd.

I hear the first few bars and say;

"You're a troublemaker

you're a troublemaker"

I scan the crowd and I see a pair of green eyes fixed on me me. I look him in the eye, and while smirking, I say the line;

"You ain't nothing but a troublemaker, boy."

A smirk formed on his face and he bit his bottom lip.
