A Zayn Malik fanfic

***

Here she stood, in front of a large building where she was going to work whole summer. Alyssa needed the money, she was saving for a trip to America togheter with her best friend Nila, it was the only thing they talked about the whole year and now it was time for action, Alyssa tought. She took a deep breath and walked in...

The main entrance was big, wich wasn't very suprising. This was the main building of a music industry, and the owners could literally swim in their money or to make it even more dramatic, they could even drown in all that money. Alyssa had never saw the main entrance, last time she was here for her job intervieuw, she had to take the entrance for employees. She heard many rumors that many celebreties came here regularly, or even a band named One Direction. She smiled at the tought of it, meeting them. She has always been a big fan, from the beginning, when they formed a group at X-Factor. She waisted 3 years of her life tweeting them, fangirling over them, crying for them, you name it. But it was al worth it. She was daydreaming again, she realised, so she quickly ran to the reception. A woman, mid 40's, looked at her clothes and then forced to smile at her. "No, you can't use our bathroom", she said, slightly bored. Alyssa frowned, a little bit insulted and when the woman turned her back to her she coughed. The woman turned again and sighed deeply, a little bit overacted. "How may I help you?", Alyssa rolled her eyes, this woman obviously had a superiority problem. She placed her documents of entrance on the desk togheter with her pass. "This is my first day as an employee, I was just wondering where I have to register", she said and the woman just looked at her with her mouth open. Alyssa felt the urge to stick her tongue out like a little kid, but she didn't do it, she had to behave ofcourse. "Just a moment", the woman said and she holded her finger up then picked up a phone. "Yes, Veronica?", she said when they picked up, "Could you assist the new employee...", she looked at the pass that Alyssa had placed on her desk before talking further, "Alyssa Shepherd to her office and explain how the things work around here?" it was silent for a moment, until the woman laughed like a duck who was vomiting. Alyssa shivered, her laugh was horrifying. She hung up and looked at Alyssa again. "You can wait here, Miss Shepherd, there's someone coming for you. She'll help you." she said, relieved she didn't had to take care of her anymore. Alyssa looked around here until she saw a circle of chairs. This could take a while, she tought and took place on the chair. She had been standing up for hours and was happy she could rest for a moment.

"I"m looking for a girl named Shepherd?", a girl said to the man opposite of her. She cleared her troat, and she turned around, smiling at Alyssa. Her long brown hair was hanging on her shoulders and she raised her hand to shake it, wich Alyssa did. "Alyssa Shepherd," she introduced herself. "Call me Veronica", the girl said. Alyssa nodded and smiled back at the girl, who was going to take care of her. "Now, let me guide you to your office and then introduce you to your boss, whom you're going to assist as long as you are going to work here", Veronica quickly said.

"The whole summer, obviously", Alyssa added.

"Don't give me an attitude," she said harshly while raising a finger and moving her head. Her finger was still raised and Alyssa was trying not to laugh, she was getting to girly. "Are you laughing at me?", Veronica shouted. Alyssa shook her head rapidly and before Veronica forced a smile. She didn't expect them to get along anymore, and she looked just so nice, Alyssa tought, but apparantly she was wrong. Veronica already started walking towards a hallway, leaving Alyssa behind, but just when she was going to enter, she turned around and said: "Are you coming already?", Alyssa rushed towards her and smiled sheepishly, her face all red. 

Veronica guided her quickly, not explaing any details and trying not to say much. "Oh, fine," Alyssa tought, "first day at work, and one of my co-workers already despises me" she rolled eyes to herself and raised her shoulders. She was going to work here no matter what, and she was sure that she would make friends anyways, so she needn't worry about one girl who was going to boss her around. They had done two flours by now and she still wasn't working, she wondered if Veronica did this on purpose to get her fired, but then she felt sorry that she tought Veronica could be so evil. "Look," Alyssa said to Veronica, who turned to her unwillingly and raised an eyebrow, "I'm not her to fight on the first day, so, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to give you 'an attitude'" she sighed after saying this and Veronica started laughing. "Oh, sweetie, don't be too harsh on yourself. I was only joking, stop taking things so seriously!", Veronica said, slapping Alyssa on her back, wich almost broke her back. "Oh, sorry", Veronica mumbled and then finally she came to a stop. Alyssa sighed relieved. "Is it here?"

"Yes, silly, why else would I stop"

"I don't know", Alyssa replied.

"Well go on then, enter!", she opened the door and pushed Alyssa into the room.It was a large room and her desk was like that too. She smiled at Veronica, quickly mumbled a "thank you", before she took place on her desk. But her smile disappeared when she saw all the tasks in her inbox on the computer. Veronica laughed, "You'll get used to that", she said, standing in the doorway, "Oh yeah, Mr. Malik is coming to pick up some stuff here that he left behind when we were supposed to direct their video, so just guide him to the boss' office wich is just on the floor above you.", she rambled and then closed the door firmly. Alyssa paced for while, could it be? She didn't dare thinking that, but a smile was reappearing on her face. Mr. Malik, she tought, directing their movie?  All fell to his place now, Zayn Malik from One Direction was going to visit tomorrow! She wanted to scream from hapinnes but she behaved, she had to be a grown up here.

She had worked hard today, seeing that she only had one task left and that was guiding 'Mr. Malik' aka THE Zayn Malik! Alyssa closed her laptop and sighed, this could be the only day of work where she looked forward to in her life. But she had to react formerly, he was busy with many things ofcourse, maybe new songs, touring, and all that stuff. So it was going to be: Guiding, leaving him and then have a whole month of boring days to go. She sighed again and stood up from her chair, walking towards the window and being impressed by the vieuw she got from here. It was amazing, she could see the whole city from here! Alyssa laughed and placed her hands on the window, the city looked so peaceful and beautiful from up here, rather than down there, where you know it's not like that. 

"I can't get used to the vieuw either", a deep voice said from behind her. Zayn.

"I'm sorry, my work was done and I-"

He raised a hand and then put it back in his pocket, "Don't worry, I don't mind".

Alyssa tried not to stare at him, so she looked at the floor. "I'll show you the boss' office, Mr. Malik" she said formal. When she looked up, he was grinning. "Hey, don't be too formal after I saw you enjoying the view like a little kid", she chukled. "I guess you're right, but I still have to call you Mister Malik, we got a reputation, you know." she laughed and he joined her, "So let me guide you and then you can leave, you must be very busy." it was silent for a moment, Alyssa expected a reaction at least, but he was grinning again. "First, my stuff is in that closet of yours and second, no, I'm not busy, that's why I'm able to pick up my stuff, finally". Alyssa was a little bit embarassed, feeling like she was trying to figure out his personal life and her cheeks turned red. "I'm so sorry, I just tought-", but he interrupted her again. "Stop saying sorry, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm just going to take my stuff and then you can lead me to your master" she laughed at his joke and opened the closet for him. Zayn picked a backpack up from the closet and winked at her. "So, let's go then", Alyssa nodded and walked in front of him, leading him to "her master", she smiled when she realised -again- she was in the company of Zayn Malik! 

The office wasn't that hard to find, that was ofcourse because it was the only room of the top floor and the sign said: 'Mr. J, Howard", Zayn was still walking behind her and when she turned around, he was smiling at her. "Yes, I'm still here, you can't get rid of me that easily", he said and her cheeks were turning pink again. "Were here, Mr. Malik" she informed him. He raised his shoulders and knocked on the door, while Alyssa was planning to leave. Zayn frowned and whistled softly towards her, Alyssa turned around. "Did you just whistled?", he nodded, not waiting for her to talk further, "I wanted you to wait here", he said. Alyssa looked confused. "Why?!", she whispered loudly and he grinned again. "Well, I guess you got nothing to do anymore, so we could hang out", he just said, plain easy and winked at her again. Alyssa's mouth fell open. "Are you asking me out, Mr. Malik?", she teased and he laughed, "That depends, do you want me to?"; he teased back and she punched his arm. He only laughed, "I'll take that as a yes", Alyssa just knocked again for him and then walked towards the elevator. "You can pick me up after you're done talking to my boss" she said. 

"I'll definately will", he said. 

"I hope so", Alyssa signed that he had to enter but he was walking towards the elevator now.

She looked confused, "You're allowed to enter now, don't let him wait!", she said. But he didn't listen and just grabbed her arm and pulled her in for a kiss. She was smiling and he winked again when he let go of her. "See you in a minute", Alyssa just nodded and closed the elevator doors...
