Today my friend, Gerardo, was coming down. I'm so excited. I've always considered him as a brother. It was currently 11:58. I drove to LAX to pick him up. I brought the guys with me so they could meet him as well. I held Harry's hand in mine. I hope they can get along. It was almost noon. I wonder where he is?
"Why did we have to come again?" Grumbled Harry. He pulled at his lip ring. I notice that is a habit of his. Don't get me wrong, he looked hot when he did it.
"Yes Harry. We promised Jade we would meet her friend." Liam says sternly.
"That's right. Cheer up grumpy." I pat his torso. I couldn't tell if he was amused. His eyes were covered by some dark sunglasses.
I see a spike of hair bobbing throughout the crowds. I move to see a better angle. It was him. I let go of Harry's hand and move through the sea of people. When I saw him I knew. He was wearing a white t-shirt, with black jeans and some sunglasses. "Gerardo!" I wave. "Jade!" I run up to him. He drops his luggage. I run into his embrace and he twirls me around. I pull back. "I'm so glad to see you." I had the biggest grin on my face. I still haven't let him go. It's been so long. "I've missed you Jade." He looks at me, smiling his perfect smile. I turn and see the guys trying to keep up with me. I laugh. "Gerardo these are the people I wanted you to meet." I gesture towards the guys. "A mysterious bunch you are. You sure they aren't your accomplices?" He nudges me. I roll me eyes. "This is Louis, Liam, Niall and my boyfriend, Harry." He shakes each of their hands. I see a hint of a smile on Harry's face when I called him my boyfriend. The strange things that amuse this boy. When Gerardo shakes his hand Harry's arm muscles flex. He was trying to intimidate Gerardo. I step between them, "So, should we be going?"
The drive back was silent. Gerardo leans into me."Do you still hate awkward silences?" I nod my head. He laughs. "It's nice of you all to invite me into your home and for watching out for this girl for me." He wraps an arm around me and messes with my hair. I groan and blow a strand of hair out of my face. "No problem mate." Liam says looking back at us through the rearview mirror. "How long have you to known each other?" Niall asks turning to face us. "Jade and I went to middle school together, and when I moved away we never lost touch." He answers. Harry grunts. I elbow him. Which wasn't hard since the four of us were squished together in the back seat. I was glad when we arrived back at the house. "This is were you guys live?" Gerardo asked astound. I pull the door handle causing Harry and I to fall out of the car. I landed on top of him. "This seems familiar." He grins. "Only I was on the bottom." I laugh. "I could arrange that." He says seductively. I stand to me feet. Louis and Gerardo were able to exit the car without being injured.
"You can take one of the guest bedrooms if you like. You can choose which room you would like too." Liam tells Gerardo. He gives him a tour of the house the way he did for me the first time I came.
I was sitting on the couch with Harry. We were thumb wrestling. His thumb overpowered mine extremely. "You know if you are using this as an excuse to hold my hand you don't need one." he smirked. I roll my eyes. I shove his chest. He grabs my hands and holds them up against his chest. I could feel his heart beat. He lays me down on the couch. "If you wanted me like this you could have asked." I smirk. His eyes grew dark. I kiss him. His lip ring was cold against my skin. He deepened the kiss. His tongue fighting for dominance. I moan into this mouth. We stop for air. He leaves a trail of kisses on my collarbone.
"And if you look to the right you will see the affect Jade has on Harry. How she has Harry in the palm of her hand." Louis laughs. Harry groans. I give him a kiss on the cheek. "We aren't done yet." He promises. We sit up. "So are you settled Gerardo?" He comes to the living room and sits himself between Harry and I. "Yeah, this place is huge. I feel like I might get lost." I pat his knee. "You probably will. We'll find you eventually don't worry." I say. Niall lands on the recliner, "Don't scare the lad. It will only take us at least a week to find you if you're lost." Liam throws a pillow at him. "They're kidding." He says. Gerardo laughs nervously. He should be frightened.
"What business do you have here?" I ask.
"Well I make deals with recording labels to help them increase their profits and help the artists they manage grow. Right now I'm here to make a deal."
"Really, what artist are you trying to help out?" Niall asks. My mind was still stuck on the fact that, that was an actual job.
"Um a Simon called me to help promote a group he is working with. What was the name?"
"Did it happen to be One Direction?" Louis asks.
"That's the name. Why do you know them?" He asks making Harry groan.
"Know them. We are them." Harry says bitterly.
"Oh. I feel so stupid. It's an honor to be working with all of you."
"I'm sure you will help us significantly." Liam says.
"How did all of you meet Jade, if you don't mind me asking."
"I took my nieces to a One Direction concert and after it was over my car broke down. I met these goof balls at the hotel we stayed at and have known each other ever since."
"What a story."
"You have no idea." Harry says.
