Rescue Me From Myself

Chapter Eight

(A/N: Hei folkens!! (HEY GUYS!!) So I decided to do another late night update. I'm just really in the mood to get the story going, this may kind of be a filler chapter, sorry. Thanks for the votes and comments, and follow me if you feel it's necessary :) Have a good night everyone, or morning, depending where you're reading from!!)

I was so happy with last night. All of Harry's friends were so nice, I wasn't expecting anything like that. Niall may have been rich, but he didn't act like it. Dani was so sweet, and Louis and Liam were acting like they were my brothers, if I had any. And Harry was just the most amazing person I knew. He really was. I would have to thank him for that later, but now, I'm on a mission to clean my apartment. I usually cleaned every week, but now that I've been busy with Harry, I haven't even had time to dust a picture frame.

I started off with the kitchen because it was so bad to the point it was starting to skeeve me out. I did a deep clean, and my hands were raw from scrubbing so much. I cleaned up the living room, cleaned the bathroom until my knees ached from being on the floor scrubbing, and I cleaned my bedroom last, it was the least dirty out of all the rooms. I swept and vacuumed all the floors and after 4 hours of hard labor, I was free to do what I wanted for the rest of the day. Harry was at work, so I logged onto my laptop and logged into Tumblr. I wasn't big on the internet, but Tumblr was my weakness, I loved blogging.

I was only one for a few minutes when my phone rang. It was Dani calling me.

"Hello?" I said into the phone as I was scrolling down my dash.

"Hey Lizzy!! It's Dani, what's up?"

"Hi Dani, I just got done cleaning up my apartment, just being lazy now."

"Perfect! Do you want to go out to lunch with Niall and myself? He's bringing Zayn and he wants to know if you would come with us." she asked.

Hmm, lunch did sound better than being alone by myself for the next 4 hours until Harry got done at Tilly's. I also did want to meet Zayn, he had an amazing voice and it would be cool if I could see his face to match it. I was weird that way, once I visually saw you speak I could remember your name forever. 

"I would love to come out with you guys! Where should I meet you?" I asked her. 

"Um, just text me your address and I'll have Niall swing by and pick you up!" she told me.

"Okay, give me like 30 minutes to get ready, and I'll be waiting outside!" I told her.

"Okay, see you in a bit!" she said and hung up. I shut down the computer and took a quick shower. I threw on jeans, a sweater, and blew dry my hair and put it up in a high ponytail. I decided on my TOMS before I grabbed my purse and locked up behind me.

Niall was pulling up as soon as I left the lobby of my apartment building. And he had a nice car. It was a BMW, a Gran Turismo I believe, and it must have been expensive. It was probably over $70,000 dollars. It was a sleek black, and it had to have just been polished, because I could see myself in the reflection. I jumped into the back seat and it was nice and warm inside. He was playing the music softly, and I could hear it was the 1975. Another boy with a great taste in music. 

"Hey Lizzy! How ya been?" he asked as he pulled away from my building.

"Hey Niall, I'm good! I wanted to thank you for inviting me last night, it was such a nice party, I had a great time!" I told him. I didn't want to seem rude and not thank him, I did have a nice time and he should know it.

"It was nothing! Anyone Harry likes is a friend of mine." he told me. 

"So Lizzy, wait until you see Zayn, he is just yum!" Dani told me. She was excited to see him in person, I imagine Niall described him to her. 

"Potential boy toy?" I asked her and she laughed.

"Oh no, not for me sweetie. I have my eyes on someone else." she said as she glanced out the window. We pulled up to one of the more expensive cafe's on the main street in London, and I was glad I dressed for the occassion. Niall opened the door for Dani and myself and we all walked into the cafe, not without some stares from passerby's of course.

"Why are people staring at us?" I asked.

"Well, Niall is pretty well known in England." Dani told me. I didn't realize he was this popular. He must have been a great record producer if everyone was staring like this. 

"Mr. Horan! How have you been?" the hostess said to Niall. "Who did you bring with you today?" 

"Hey Lily! I've been good! These are my two best friends, Lizzy and Dani. I am meeting one of my clients today." he told the hostess, whose name was Lily. I was surprised when he called me his best friend after knowing me for one day, but I guess he was serious when he said any friend of Harry was a friend of his.

"Oh yes! He's here already! Let me show you to your private table." she said and whisked us away to a private corner in the back. Zayn's back was to us, but when he heard foot steps approaching, he jumped up to shake Niall's hand. And my Lord, was he beautiful. He was exotic looking, golden brown skin, black hair that was quiffed to perfection, and these chocolate brown eyes that you could get lost in. He was flawless, don't get me wrong, but not really my type. Just so Harry wouldn't get jealous.

"Hello Niall, guests." Zayn said with a small smile.

"Zayn, these are my best friends, Dani, and Lizzy. Guys, this is Zayn, he's the one you guys listened to last night." Niall told us. We all sat down.

"Zayn, it's a pleasure to meet you!" I told him and shook his hand across the table. I was sitting next to Niall and Dani sat next to Zayn.

"Pleasure to meet the two of you!" Zayn responded.

"So Zayn, before we eat, let's get some business out of the way. To be quite blunt, I love you. Your voice is solid, and it will have no problem selling. Once we work out some kinks from your current song, I predict we can have it on radios around the country by next month." Niall told him. Zayn's eyes got wide.

"Are you serious? That's more than I could ever ask for." he said. His smile was a mile long.

"Zayn, everyone loved your voice, it's amazing what you can do." Dani told him. He blushed and coughed, obviously flattered.

"Oh, I'm okay.." he said and Niall put up his hands.

"OKAY? Just okay? Mate, don't be so humble. You're perfect!" he practically shouted.

And that's how the whole lunch went. We ate and shared a few laughs, and it was really nice. Zayn was from a town called Bradford, which was almost 3 and a half hours away from London. He was 20 years old, and he had a girlfriend, Perrie. She lived in London, so while this was all happening, he was staying with her. 

"You should of brought the lass around!" Niall told him as he paid the bill. I tried to protest, as did Dani and Zayn, but he said it was his treat.

"I didn't know if it was appropriate or not, but next time I'll know!" he said.

"Zayn, you have to realize, I'm 20 years old too. We're the same age. I am not a businessman, what I do is purely for my pleasure. I'm not some stuffy middle aged bloke who can't take a joke." Niall told him. Zayn smiled at that, he was such a happy person.

We all walked out together and Niall shook his hand, Dani and I gave him a quick hug.

"Thank you for lunch Niall, I look forward to recording next week!" Zayn said as he walked to his car.

"See you next week Zayn! Have a good weekend!" Niall said and we all walked back to his car. 

"So, what did you guys think of him?" Niall asked us as soon as we were buckled in and driving away.

"He was so nice." Dani and I said at the same time, and we giggled.

"I think so too. He has so much potential." Niall told us. 

"He'll definitely go somewhere big." I told him as he pulled into my street.

"Thank you for lunch again Ni!" I told him as I shut the door. He honked the horn as I went into the lobby and up to my apartment. I unlocked it and flopped down on the couch and waited for Harry to finish his shift so we could go out and catch up.
