ZERO [ L.T. Fanfiction ]

Chapter 4

I know I will be late for work. This drive is driving me crazy. I should have taken the long route which has less traffic. I am stuck. Urghhh. Hell, with this city. I will never come to a city in my olden days. I check my phone when it buzzes. Niall Horan.

Why is he calling me? I pick up the call.

*Hello. Niall, what's the matter?* I ask

*Shut up and hurry up. The meeting is about to start. James is already fuming.*
Niall screams from the other end. I totally forgot about the meeting. Shit. My fate.

James is my boss, an asshole. He is always hunting for our mistakes.

*Niall, I am so sorry. I am in my car. But this traffic is killing me. I'll make on time. Don't worry.* I say.

*Huh, why will I worry? You should be worrying because you have left James worried.* he says. I can hear his smirk. Jerk.

*Shut up. I'm coming.* I say and end the call.

Somehow, I make it on time in the office but I am bit late. When I was young. I had huge dreams and aims of becoming a journalist. I wanted to sit in a posh office, do important stuff. But then I never knew about these shifty bosses. I am a journalist now but a different one that from my dreams. I never knew that-th

"I thought you would never show your face again, Kiara." James said.

He is standing right in front of me. He's wearing a beige coat, brownish orange hair gelled neatly and his hands folded.

"No sir, I was stuck in the traffic. And by the way, it's Kaira." I say

"OK. This shows that you know there is traffic on the way. So, why don't you leave for work early. So you have enough time to enjoy your traffic." blah blah blah he goes on saying something and I don't listen.

He's so annoying. He's going on and on. I find Niall, Liam and his girlfriend, also my best friend Etalie. I look at Niall. That piece of shit is laughing. He's good by heart and nature but sticks to his jerkiness.

"Niall, I hate you. I would have laughed out loud there and would been fired. Ugh. I hate you so much." I say.

"What a coincidence!" he teases.

I ignore him and walk towards my cabin. I keep my bag on the desk and start working.

I didn't even realize that it's noon whilst I was working. I checked the clock, it's two.

Two.

Two.

I just feel uncomfortable about the fact that I dream numbers and it continues from where it was being left.

"hey, Kaira. Enough of working. Let's go get some food, it's afternoon and I am hungry." I see Liam and his hands around Etalie's waist.

I smile at them, close my laptop and go. They are enough for to distract me from my stress, because they are funny.

"okay, I need y'all to quit the spicy spaghetti for today." Etalie said.

"WHY??? " Liam and I shouted at the same time.

"Ettie, you love spaghetti, don't you?" I ask.

"I know, but I can't have it. It's too spicy." she says looking at the ground.

"C'mon Et, don't hide it from your best friend. Kaira, Et had some gas problem. So, she went to the doc. He said to reduce spicy food." he says and starts laughing.

"Shut up Liam, will you?" Etalie scolds him. She is embarrassed.

"Please Et. You look cute when you fart." he starts laughing, making Etalie more embarrassed.

I start laughing loudly. These two humans bring the worst out of me. We stop laughing when Niall comes. He gives us high-five like he always does.

It's 6 in the evening and I have already got two texts from Zayn that he'll come to pick me up. He drives my car. We reach home, eat our dinner, bicker around for movies and cuddle.

"oh shit, I have an article tonight. I completely forgot about it. I am sorry, you watch rest of the movie. I'll have to complete my work." I say.

He gives me a small smile and a nod. I get up and start working.

It's 1 am. I still manage to keep myself awaken by eating Twix and coffee.
