Downfall [lwt]

Chapter Sixteen - Thinking of You

"What did you want to see me about?" I ask sitting in one of his plush chairs. He closes the door and sits at his chair before deciding on speaking.

"Do you really like Louis?"

"Of course I like him!" I nod as Ben puts his elbows on his desk.

"Well I know that a lot of girls just want to be with him because he's famous and has millions in his bank account..."

"What are you trying to imply?"

"I am sure that what you have Louis is real. I am quite sure of it, but the head of Management, Simon; wants to make sure that what you have is truly real."

"What are you saying?" I ask completely confused.

"Have you ever heard of beards?"

"Louis' not gay." I state still baffled something like this was even happening.

"I know that, but what I am saying is that Simon wants to hire you."

"To be Louis' fake girlfriend?"

"You are technically his real girlfriend; you're just getting paid to make sure that Simon knows you two are on good terms."

I stare at him for a moment to make sure that he is serious.

"So what you're saying is that I would be his girlfriend but I would just be getting paid every month or whenever and I would be getting free stuff?"

"Pretty much."

I nod and think hard before determining that I didn't really want to do it.

"If you either break this contract in any way, shape, or form; we will break you two up." He states firmly shoving the contract into my hands. He hands me a pen and taps the paper.

"What if I choose not to sign it?"

"Then we will break you up, right here."

"Ben, wait!" I say just as he is shaking his head.

"Yes?"

"What if I prove to you guys that I am a trustworthy girlfriend?"

"How would you do that?"

"I don't know... But I will do it; whatever it takes, right?" I smile at my choice of words as he nods and agrees to let me prove that I don't just like him for the money and fame. He leads me out of the room as I feel confident enough to stride over to them.

"Ben um... Told me what you were going to do." Louis says getting up and lowering his voice to where the rest of the guys won't hear.

"I didn't sign it."

"What?"

"I didn't want to."

"So they just let you go?" He asks completely shocked, as well.

"No... I have to prove that I am trustworthy material and that I won't go for the millions in your bank account." I smirk at Ben's words and Louis' face falls.

"Oh God... Ben said that?!" I nod as Louis cracks up again and the other boys turn to us.

"What happened in there?" Harry asks as we walk back to the car.

"I'll tell you guys later. Right now, I am just tired." I sigh.

As we walk back to the hotel, Louis stops me as I am walking back to my room.

"What?"

"We haven't had a proper date...."

"What about at the stre-"
