The Really Annoying Gig

Liam's POV:

I walk back into the room with two coffee mugs in my hand.

"Thanks mate." Louis takes the sweeter coffee from me, the way he likes it.

I smile to him as I sit next to him and put the television on. "So, why did you come over? What did Simon have 'planned for us'?"

Louis sighed. "I don't know, but if he's making us do one of those god damn Pokemon ad's again..." He rolls his eyes and takes a sip of his coffee, which he soon coughs back up.

"What, still too hot?" I respond, chucking at his oh-so kind glare that's being directed towards me. "And don't worry, he promised never to do that again... Especially since you haven't stopped complaining about it since you re-watched those videos."

I see him shiver in the corner of my eye. "Dark times, man. Dark times."

Ever since the boys and I went on our hiatus, Louis and I have gotten together most often. Probably since he pities me, since I still haven't gotten over Sophia and me's breakup. I know I should be giving him his own time though, since he has a lot going on right now. Even a new girlfriend. Which reminds me...

"Where's Danielle? You guys have been attached to the hip for months, and I haven't heard you talk about her or seen you go on your phone at all..."

"Well, she knows there's a 'business meeting' about to happen," He shrugs. "She gets it."

"That's good. How's Briana? And the young one?" I ask, half focusing on him, half on the television. I notice that it's advertising those hover boards, which I really need to get sometime soon-

"... and she's been OBSESSED with shopping for the baby's clothes."

I turn my head to him and slowly nod, and he abruptly stops.

"Okay, spit it out." He says, and leans back into the couch.

"What?" I raise my shoulders

He raises an eyebrow at me.

"What?!"

He sighs, "Oh nothing just that you've been oh-so moody ever since... you know..."

"You know, you can say it. I don't mind. You can even say her name if you want. I don't mind." I look to the T.V., and try as hard as I can to look remotely interested in the program.

"Look, its okay to get some sympathy." He says picking up his mug. "It's not so bad to ask for it once in a while."

I groan, and throw my head back. "Okay, okay, okay. Can we just drop it? I've already started to puke in my mouth a little bit talking about my feelings with you."

He laughs, and sets his mug down once again. "Whatever. By the way, the offer for me setting you up with someone is still on the table..."

"NO! No. No way in hell." I say, burying my face in my hands.

"Seriously! There's this girl I know- her name's Natasha. Works as a bartender, beautiful smile, great ti-"Suddenly he gets cut off by a ringtone going off.

Realizing it's my phone going off, I pick it up to look at the caller ID. Simon.

I put him on speaker and set the phone down. "Hey, Simon."

"Hello, Liam. Is Louis there with you?"

"Here to report to duty, SIR!" He does a mock salute, and I stifle a chuckle under my breath.

"Ha-ha, very funny Tomlinson." Simon sarcastically fires back. "Listen, I've got an opportunity for the both of you, and I think you might be interested."
