The next day

Mmmm continental breakfast. Maybe it's because I spend so much time in hotels on my business trips, that makes continental breakfasts so great. I was deciding which kind of muffin I wanted when Louis came up.

"Hmpf, nice love bites." He sneers.

"Thanks. Your mom gave them to me." I say, still trying to decide on a muffin.

"Zayn! Lydia's being a pain in the ass." Louis whines.

"What are you yelling about so early in the damn morning?" says a grumpy Niall.

"Well good morning to you too, Sunshine!" I say as I yank off Niall's hoodie.

"Eh stop that!" Niall says annoyed.

"Why is it that every time I see you, you're getting into trouble?" Zayn says, leaning on a nearby table.

"Look who's talking! If it weren't for the Bradford Badboy himself I wouldn't be here. So don't cast the first stone baby." I lift my coffee in the air like a toast.

"Yeah Louis, I think you're right. She is a pain in the ass." Zayn smacks my ass when I pass by. I hiss at him, which only makes him laugh.

"Ewww keep that kinky shit in the bedroom." Louis says as he tosses a grape at my head.

"Don't be jealous because you're a prude, Louis."

"I'm not a prude! Ugh whatever slut." Louis turns on his heel and starts to leave.

"Oh come back Louis. I was only kidding. Don't get mad." I say.

"Get Glad!" Harry yells, still scrolling through his phone.

"Really Harry?"

"What? It's a good commercial." Harry answers. I was about to say something when Diana walked in. She grabbed Louis by the arm and pulled him back into our inner circle.

"Good morning everyone. Alright, we have a busy busy day today. You all have a radio interview at 9 o'clock. Then we have to make sure you're all packed and the band is ready and that our flight information is...." and she continued on and on with the tasks of the day.

"Also Lydia, I think Mr. Smith will be requiring your assistance today."

"You got it!"

"Excellent. Everyone enjoy your breakfast. I'll come to get you all when the car is ready." She rushes out of the room, probably to make more preparations for the day.

"That reminds me. What exactly do you do?" Liam asks, digging into his breakfast.

"I make people's problems go away."

"What do you mean 'go away'?" Louis asks, sipping his tea.

"A company or a person has a problem and they contract me to solve it before the situation gets out of hand." I answer, eating bits of my banana nut muffin.

"So if Mr. Smith needs you-" Harry begins.

"Then that means one of you is in deep shit and I have to fix it." I slowly study each of their faces. Each of them glance around nervously. What the hell have these boys been up to?

We finish breakfast and the boys head off to their interview. I'm transported in another car to management headquarters into a meeting with Mr. Smith.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith."

"Good afternoon. Right well we have a problem."

"I know that's why I'm here. How may I be of assistance?"
