Lou is going to meet the one band she has always mentioned to me about and I don’t have to buy Lou a Christmas gift ever again!

“Excuse me, the elevator’s opened, don’t you have plans on getting out?” the guy behind us raised his voice, just slightly.

“Yeah, thanks for the obvious, sir.” Lou gushed out. That was rude, but then again, it’s Lou we’re talking about here. We let him pass between Lou and I and he just shrugged with something which I think was a grunt. Oh well.

 “Mads, are you seeing what I’m seeing?” Lou asked in a whisper. We were still standing there in the elevator without any movement.

“Uuuhhh, One Direction?” I said, not knowing how else to respond.

 “No, Niall is wearing pink Calvin Klein underwear.” I didn’t think the words Niall, pink and Calvin Klein could go together so perfectly that it changed mine and Lou’s entire lives.

-------------------------------

Louis Tomlinson, still having a hold on Niall Horan’s unexpected choice of delicates, looked at us with two pairs of round blue eyes. Niall did the same, but Niall’s was more of an embarrassed look different from a very amused and proud look from Louis. The both of them gave Lou and I smiles and waves. Zayn Malik was fast asleep, which I thought was cute, and I swear Harry Styles had a hold on Janice’s hand a couple of seconds ago. I was informed by my trusted best friend here, that the curly one had a thing for cougars, which is a really big thing to swallow. He’s the weird one. But then again, how can I describe Louis and Niall in front of us?

We were still inside the elevator unable to move our feet and even our faces. The doors were about to close when a manicured hand got in the way.

“What are you girls doing here? I thought you were never coming out. Come on, Melissa, I have a very important thing for you to do.” Janice said with an amused tone. Lou and I just managed to follow her down across the room. I didn’t notice how many people were here inside. All this make-up artists, stylists and crew for just one interview? And to think that this is not in front of a camera, wow. We were standing in front of Janice while she was seated on a comfy chair, “Okay, so obviously, they are not Taylor Swift, we apparently missed the interview so the Daily Gazette nailed the interview a few hours ago which I’m so upset about. Luckily One Direction was free so we invited them over here.” Janice continued, retrieving the happy tone of hers. That’s highly impossible, I thought. How could guys like them appear and take on an interview like they’re not One Direction.

“Uuh, so what am I going to do?”/“Thank you so much Ms. Janice!” Lou cut me off by thanking Janice.

“Your welcome, uuhhmm.”

“It’s Lou ma’am.”

“You’re welcome Lou, and next time you’re here, don’t call me ma’am. Everyone can hear you.” Janice whispered while giving out a wink. Lou had a wide smile plastered all over her tanned face. This is going to be fun.

“Okay Mel, about the assignment, this is really important for LADT, so I’m going to need your full attention right now.” I hadn’t notice Janice was waving a hand over my face, Lou was shaking me from my left side.

“I’m sorry, Janice.”

“Yeah, I know, they’re hot but not right now Melissa.” Yeah, I know, wait- what did she say?!

“ I need you to do me a favor. Mr. Blades, our editor-in-chief asked me to go out for a cover story down at the St. Luke’s Hospital. I’m asking you to do the interview of One Direction in the next two hours. You see Candice is suppose to be in charge with the entertainment page but she is on leave right now, and I don’t know who else to call. I’ve written down all the necessary points to ask about. So, are you in?”
