"Need help with that, love?"
Harry slid up behind me and rested his arm on the Juke Box.
I jumped by his sudden movement and he pursed his lips into a smile. A dimple popped out and I almost collapsed on the spot.
"Sometimes, you gotta kick it to make it work."
What?
He hit the Juke Box with the side of his boot hard. What ugly brown boots...you'd think that a man with such a big paycheck would be able to afford a pair of boots without holes in them.
"Thanks." I muttered as I selected a Nirvana song. I was scared to look him in the eyes. He was much taller than me and he towered over me. He looked quite scary, but he had such a nice smile. He was wearing a long sleeve black button down with the first few buttons undone. It showed off his inked chest wonderfully.
"So it looks like we're gonna be working together." Harry spoke.
I was almost forced to look up at his eyes. "Yeah, I will be doing your hair and makeup, when you need it." His eyes were beautiful, they were a perfect green color. I myself had green eyes, but the boring kind of green. His were like emeralds, two beautiful sparkling jewels.
"Well I look forward to getting to know you, Tiffany." He took a step towards me and now his face was only inches from mine. I could smell the alcohol on his breath and I knew he was tipsy.
I was trying to speak but my mouth just couldn't form words. It's like he was controlling me.
He smirked down at me and I saw that damn dimple again. His lips looked so soft - he definitely took care of himself. And he smelled so good, so sexy. He really was beautiful, probably the most handsome man I've ever seen. The pictures online didn't do him justice, he was absolutely stunning.
His eyes got serious and his brow furrowed. "I'll see you around."
With a swift movement, he was gone. He stormed to the table and threw down some cash. He glanced at me quickly and then walked out the front door.
What just happened? Does he not like me?
I was still stood in the same spot, dumbfounded. The smell of his cologne was still present and I felt intoxicated by him. What's wrong with me? He's just a client.
I stayed for only 30 minutes after Harry left. I couldn't stop thinking about our conversation, well if you would even call it that. I hugged Lou and everyone else as I said goodbye, I really did enjoy hanging out with them. I never really go out much and it was a nice break. My first day was on Monday and I couldn't be more excited.
***
Monday morning came too soon. I spent most of my weekend shopping for work clothes and trying to find a decent pair of sneakers to run around in - I figured I would be on my feet a lot during work.
I didn't really know much about One Direction. I knew of the band they were in and I know teenage girls were obsessed - I don't see why. Their music was good, I guess. I had heard only their most popular songs on the radio and I will admit that I have sang What Makes You Beautiful in the shower a few times. I hope the others like me...I don't think Harry does. I mean he practically ran away from me the other night. I wish he didn't run away, I wish he would've stayed and had a conversation with me. I wanted to know about him and his life, I'm sure he's nothing like the tabloids say.
After my shower I put on a burgundy cropped sweater and dark high waisted jeans. I hope my outfit was professional enough, although Lou commented on how laid back the crew was. I finished my usual morning routine and made my way back to the O2.

"Tiffany, over here!" Lou waved her hand in the air to direct me to where she was. The room looked like a giant hangout spot. There were couches and TVs, video games, food, it's basically a teenagers heaven. As I walked over to Lou I noticed a small child sitting on her lap playing with a doll. Sam mentioned she had a niece, maybe this was Lou's daughter.
"Tiffany, meet my lovely daughter, Lux. Lux can you wave hello?"
"Hello Lux, it's very nice to meet you." I said as I lowered myself to her. The little blonde haired girl looked up at me with shy eyes and then cuddled into her mothers shoulder.
"She's very shy around new people. Don't worry, she'll get used to you." Lou said while patting her daughters back.
"Anyways, I want you to meet the boys! You'll love them, everyone does." Lou said with a wink. "Niall! Louis! Get you're asses over here!" Lou yelled across the room.
Lux suddenly stood up on her mothers lap and put her tiny hands over her mothers mouth. "Naughty naughty mummy. Naughty word mummy!"
She was adorable.
"In a minute, Lou. I'm about to win!" A short brown haired boy yelled as he swung his paddle and hit the ball. They were playing ping pong and it looked like things were getting serious. Well, as serious as a ping pong game could get.
"Hell no, I'm about to beat your ass." The blonde one yelled back at him.
"Come here now or I'll shave off the two chest hairs you have, Niall." Lou playfully be threatened.
Just as she said that, Niall sprinted across the room and practically tripped over his own feet.
"Niall, this is Tiffany. She'll be working with you and the other boys."
"Hey babe! Excited to be working with ya! It'll fun, we can get into some trouble." Niall winked and laughed. He was cute and funny, I liked him.
"I'm excited too! I'm sure we'll be great friends." I smiled back at him.
"Is this the new girl?" A short tattooed boy came up to us.
"Yes, hi I'm Tiffany!" Niall's energetic attitude had rubbed off on me.
"Nice to meet you, babe. I'm Louis. I'm the leader of the band, I'm also the most attractive in the band." Louis and Niall started laughing.
I like them. They like me. This is going well...
"Harold! Get over here and meet Tiff!" Niall yelled across the room.
Oh no.
Harry turned towards me with almost a panicked expression on his face. He walked towards us quickly and I couldn't help but look at his body. He was wearing a fitted white T shirt with black jeans. He had better legs than I did.
As Harry neared Louis, Niall and I, I finally gained enough courage to look in his eyes - I wish I didn't. He was staring at me intently, just like he did the other night. It's like he was trying to look into my soul by looking into my eyes, it made me uncomfortable and it made my cheeks flush to a shade of pink.
"Hi Tiffany." He said softly.
"Hi Harry." I looked up at him, a small smile spread across my face. I was happy to see him again. However, I did want to know why he acted so weird the other night. I thought we were all having a good time, so why did Harry run out?
He smiled back at me, and it wasn't a fake smile, it was a genuine smile. Maybe he does like me?
"Liam and Zayn will be arriving later. Zayn is spending half the day with Perrie before she has to leave to LA and Liam is helping his girlfriend move into her new flat. So it'll be just us this morning." Lou motioned towards the four of us. "Now c'mon boys, time for a hair cut."
The boys groaned we all walked behind Lou to the dressing room.
As we were all walking down the long hallways of the O2, I felt a tugging at my arm. It was Harry. He was leading me towards a closet down the hall. What the hell was he doing? "We need to talk." Harry said as he shut the door.
