Chapter one
Oliver's PoV

I stood at my office door leaning on the railing as I gazed out over my club. Lights flash, music plays, drinks pour and crowds dance like there's no tomorrow. I gave a happy sigh of content, I've actually pulled it off, A night club in the beating heart of L.A. A place where celebrities and the public can mingle and unwind without the haunting presence of paparazzi and cameras.

"There you are!" I turned to see by best friend in the whole world Aaron climb the stairs "what are you doing up here?" He asked skidding in beside me.

"Just taking it all in" I smile scanning the masses again.

"Stop working for one night and have fun with me" he said and tugged me down the stairs and into the mass of sweaty, dancing bodies.

"I'm meant to be working" I laughed as we reached the bar. Aaron gave a nod to the bartender who immediately placed two drinks on the counter.

"No, you promised after the album release you would take it easy for at least a few weeks" he  snapped and placed the glass in my hand "that was two weeks ago and you still haven't stopped" he raised the glass to his mouth and with his free hand he guided my own hand up to my face.

I laughed and took a large gulp and let the burning liquid race down my throat and warm my insides "I'd love to take it easy but I have a club to run" I put the glass down and tried returning to my office but my freakishly strong friend stopped me.

"That's what you hired managers for" he dragged me into the bustling dance floor "now dance before I beat you up like when we were kids" I laughed and we began to dance.

After a hour or so I started to really enjoy myself as I dance with Aaron and a few other friends. I laughed a my other friend Kara did a large spinning dance move and I took a step back. I suddenly felt a bump and a rush of cold run down my back. I spun round and gazed at a man in black skinnies and a bright white shirt that now had a big red stain on it.

"Oh my god! I am so sorry" I said as he tried to wipe off the drink. He lifted his head and that's when I noticed it was none other that Liam Payne from one direction.

"Your okay it's only a shirt" he smiled at me and I felt my heart skip a beat. This was the first time I had ever met him in person and he was breathtaking. I snapped out of my trance just before it got weird.

"Come with me" I said leading him through the crowd up to my office where I started rummaging through my cabinets.

"Are you sure we can be up here" he chuckled nervously as he looked at the collection of art work on the wall.

"Pretty sure" I said handing him a fresh blue shirt "you can go where you like when it's your club" and smiled getting a clean pink shirt for myself.

"So, you're Oliver?" He Asked and started to unbutton his ruined shirt without a care in the world.

"Um yeah, in the flesh" I said as his perfectly sculpted body started to reveal itself.

"Liam Payne" he said now completely naked above the belt. I quickly drew my eyes away when a hand stretched towards me.

"Oh I know who you are" I laughed and shook his hand as I started to remove my own T-shirt.

"I can't believe I never recognised you" he said taking the new shirt from its packet "I just bought your album the other day, it's really good" he slipped the shirt on and began buttoning it.

"Thanks" I blushed wildly and put on my own shirt. Just then the office door comes bursting opened in stomps Aaron causing me and Liam to whirl round.

"Oliver, I swear if you are working" he starts to yell but stops when he sees me and Liam redoing our shirts "well what's going on here" he said wiggling his eyebrows and a smirk creeping across his face. Liam's face started to turn red as I stared in horror at my best friend and what he was suggesting.

"Shut up, I spilled a drink on him and I'm giving him a new shirt" I shook my head as I finish the buttons.

"Thanks for the shirt" Liam smiled "see you around" and with that he left the office.

"What the hell was that?" I yelled at Aaron and sat on the sofa where he joined me.

"I could ask you the said thing" he smirked again "you gonna ask him out?" A sassy look spread across his face and repeatedly nudge my arm. 

"Of course not, he's not my type" I pushed him to the other side of the sofa but he gave me a stern look "okay he's hot, really hot but he's also really straight" I rolled my eyes "and dating Cheryl remember" he scooted back over and wrapped am arm around me.

"In that case, let's go find you some one that isn't so straight" he leaped to his feet and pulled me with him "and in failing to do that I can always be your booty call"he winked and bumped our hips. This was why Aaron was such a good friend, I was never sad.

about Oliver's album, I'm terrible at writing songs (believe me I've tried) so in going to use some of my favourite song some recent, some not so much.
