Something Great (A Liam Payne Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

We are welcomed to a small reception area. "Hi. You must be Luke?" The lady at the front speaks directly at Luke...not acknowledging Cici and I. He nods yes, and she stands up and says, "Follow me, they're waiting for you." 

This is Mr. Slyvan's main office and it is clearly obvious. It smells of lemon for some odd reason and it's very fresh in here in comparison to outside. The walls are a nice pastel color, and each window I pass by is shiny clean. 

Cici flattens down her dress and I begin doing the same as we follow the woman. Mr. Sylvan intimidates me just so slighty. He is a tall, heavy-on-the-waist, always with a clean shavened face, and with perfect gelled grey hair sitting on his head. 

I bump into Cici's back as she comes to a halt. The secretary opens the door wide, and let's us all in.

As soon as my foot steps into that room, all eyes shoot to us. "There you are!" Mr. Sylvan exclaims happily.

There are approximately 11 people here. This room is enormous and looks even bigger with this little amount of people. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows give view to sunny California and illuminates the room. Mr. Sylvan sits at the main desk; the members of One Direction are seated at a round table, while the rest of the people sit on comfy looking chairs by the wall. 

And I can't forget Amelia, who for some unknown reason, sits at the edge of her fathers desk. Why is she here? and how is she relevant to this?

"Sorry, we're late. Traffic was horrible." Cici speaks as she moves towards Mr. Sylvan. I watch her give him a peck on the cheek and Luke shoves me forward to do the same.

As I walk towards him, I briefly glance at all 5 members, who happen to be looking at me.

"Sorry, Mr. Sylvan," I whisper as he pecks my cheek.

"No worry, girls. We've all been there," he pauses and claps his hands together. "Let me introduce you girls."

He introduces us to One Directions management team and to One Direction themselves. It is odd seeing them in person, and I'm not going to lie, I get a bit flustered when I hear their accents. 

Mr. Sylvan orders us to take a seat on the two empty chairs where the guys are sitting at. 

Cici is way ahead of me, making conversation with Niall, since she chooses to sit by him. And I sit to the right of Zayn. 

"Hi," Zayn says as I sit on my seat. I reply with a smile and a very low "hello."

The others looked very attentive to what Mr. Sylvan is talking about. While on the other hand, Liam seems kinda bored...looking around the office. I don't realize I'm staring at him until he smiles at me. Startled as I am, I manage to smile back. My attention goes back to the information that is being thrown at us. 

"The girls' album will be released just in time. I believe it's out next week?" Mr. Sylvan looks at Luke for approval and Luke nods yes. Mr. Sylvan continues, "And I think this tour will help them tremendously." He speaks with such demand that you kinda feel scared about talking to him. But the album is probably on it's way to go on sale. Songs are done, album cover, everything. The time can't be any more right. 

Paul, One Direction's tour manager, begins explaining all the info regarding the tour. They even mention Europe. 

After we sign all the papers needed, we are being dismissed. I'm so overwhelmed by the details and how this huge event just showed up without warning; all this is causing me a major headache.

The tour begins in a month, which means Cici and I have to start rehearsals and packing soon. 

We are going across America, to different venues. We are starting from LA and ending in New York...for three whole months. My mom. I need to talk to her.
