A Summer's Job (1D)

15:"Second Date"

Christina's POV

The smell of pancakes is what made my eyes shoot wide open this morning. My stomach grumbled, and a smirk tugged onto my lips. I'm going to find those pancakes, and I'm going to eat them. I left the bed, about to zoom downstairs, but groaned realizing I have to get dressed. I have work today!

I stomped over to my closet, chose my outfit, and went to the bathroom. I threw on a pair of dark blue jeggings, a pink and purple cheetah print shirt with purple tank top over it, and my cheetah print Apple Bottoms. I combed my hair and pulled it into a ponytail.

I scrambled downstairs, hungrier than ever, which should be impossible but I can't help it. The boys were already dressed, damn them for being boys and able to get dressed faster. I noticed that there were chocolate pancakes on the table, so of course I had to grab some, sitting next to Zayn at the table.

"I'm mad at you." he grumbled at me.

"What for?" I asked, stuffing a pancake into my mouth.

"For missing my part of the song yesterday!" he complained.

"Wow, that was so horrible of me," I rolled my eyes, "put it this way. Your voice made me fall asleep."

A small smile tugged on his lips, and he sighed. "Fine. I forgive you."

I nodded happily and finished my food. Grabbing my purse, we all left and headed for work.

The boys followed me into my office, sitting on the couch in front of my desk. I had to go over their agenda for today, and then I'd be on my own, at last. Just kidding, their awesome.

"Alright boys," I spoke up, "you have to go to a meeting with management to discuss a very important thing."

They nodded and stood up, and went to leave the room. I was about to sit down, when I heard Liam say, "Come with us."

I inwardly groaned, just wanting to be alone, something I never really had lately. But I don't want to be rude, that's not my forte. "Sure."

I followed them into a big room, that had a long table and a few guys in suits. Wow, it must be very important. I sat in between Niall and Louis, ugh how do I always end up sitting next to Louis?

"Hello Miss Layford." one of the men in suits said, and I recognized him immediately.

"Hello Mr. Cowell, very nice to see you." I replied.

"I'm sure these boys haven't been giving you a hard time." he chuckled at his own joke. It was hilarious.

"No, they've been...angels." I joked myself, and noticed Harry rolling his eyes.

We sat down, once the person in charge, Mr. Jacobs, entered the room. He cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention.

"Hello everyone," he spoke in a serious tone, "I'm here to discuss the boys future in the making."

I was already a little frightened by him. He made me feel intimidated, how do the boys deal with him is still a mystery to me. I have to question them later.

Mr. Jacobs continued. "One Direction will be making a third album, Midnight Memories. It is confirmed."

A lot of us clapped, it was really exciting news. Mr. Jacobs expression stayed the same, making me wonder is he has any emotions at all.

"Now, the first song we will be recording is Story of my Life. The boys will reveal the announcement of this album in September. Now, here is Mr. Cowell." he says and sits down, finally.
