The Pianist - One Direction

Chapter 19

A/N: I made it over 1k reads (I could've written 1000, but 1k sounds better!) So thank you, thank you, thank you! You can find the dress that is mentioned in the chapter on the side! I'll give you probably the longest chapter this far! It's about 50% longer than the others! Happy reading!

Lou came into my room after about fifteen chapters in my book. I was so into it, I got scared of hearing her knocking at my door.

"Do you know what to wear to the dinner?" She asked me. I shrugged. I didn't really care that much, neither had I the energy to find something good.

"Not really, why?" I asked. She smiled at me and sighed lightly, like she felt sorry for a little kid.

"You do know that it's incredibly fancy? Many important people from management and sponsors and leaders of the Europe leg for the tour will be there. It will be at one of the fanciest restaurants in Paris." She said and laughed at my expression. I couldn't be at a fancy dinner! I didn't know how to act nice and well-behaved in front of important people. I couldn't sit with my back straight for more than ten minutes! What would I wear? I did bring a few nice dresses, but they were more for going out and party, not fancy dinners. I looked at Lou with pleading eyes and pouting lips.

"Help?"

She nodded and made me follow her. Her room was just further down the hallway. After she closed the door, she went to a huge closet. Our rooms were similar, except that closet. Could you ask for one of those or was it stylist-required? She started looking around and I leaned on her door with folded arms.

"I've got the perfect dress. I believe we have the same size..." She pulled out an amazing dress. It was very beautiful and fancy, but not too much. I loved it. It was in a shade between dark blue and purple in lace. It stopped mid-thigh and had a small belt around the waist.

"Are you sure?" I asked and she threw it to me without a second word.

"Take a shower and put it on, I'll be there in forty-five minutes to fix your hair and make-up." She said.

"Lou, you really don't need to..." I started, but she insisted.

"I do, actually. Trust me. Now stop wasting your time, go!" She said and almost literally pushed me out her room.

I did as she told me and took a very long shower as I blasted Ed Sheeran-songs through my speakers. I didn't thought I really had anything to be nervous about, but it would be typical me to emberrass myself on a fancy restaurant, and I was scared of meeting the big bosses from the management. Hopefully, the guys wouldn't be very well-behaved either. I could probably calm down. I heard Lou come in to my room the second I got out of the shower.

"Issy, hurry up! Do you really need this long to shower?" She shouted through the bathroom door. I threw on a bathrobe and put my hair in a towel. I rolled my eyes when I walked out, the steam from the hot bathroom following close after.

"If I could, I would take two hours in the shower." I said and sat down in the chair she had pulled out for me.

"We have just a little more than one hour, but we should make it." She said. She had a dress on already. It was black and long, making her look way longer than she actually was. The fact that the whole crew would be at the dinner made me happy, even if it made me a tiny bit more nervous. I got nervous way to easy, I was nervous for almost everything when I was younger.

Lou dried my hair so it wouldn't drip, but my curls got better if my hair dried itself. She put some products in my hair and moved on to my make-up.

"Is this really necessary? I mean, I get that it will be a fancy dinner, but isn't this too much?" I asked her when she was starting to get finished. I got amazed by her skills every time, and that day wasn't an exception.
