[Niall]

Here I am standing in a middle of restaurant who only has four customers in it. By four customers I meant me, Louis, A curly-haired lad, and that freaking captivating god-like man. His stubbles were all acrossed his perfect jawline and hair even under his lip which both added to his appearance. I wonder who's Mr. Malik, it seems like he has reserved the whole restaurant and all.

"Uhhh...Ni, your mouth." Louis whispered through my ear. I looked below to see what's with my mouth. Oops. My mouth was hanging open. "Sorry." I hastily closed it, assuring they are firm enough so it won't open again. Louis just left out a small chuckle in response.

The receptionist continued to guide us closer to their table. The closer I get to their table, the greater view of his face I see. The demigod caught gaze of us coming near to their table so he stood inviting the curly-haired as well.

We reached their table. The female receptionist smiled and turned to demigod. "Mr. Malik, here are the guests you're waiting for."

So 'The Demigod' is Mr. Malik. No wonder he looks damn amazing. To be honest, amazing was an understatement. He was an overall masterpiece... by God I guess.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Malik. 'm Louis Tomlinson." Louis step forward to grab Zayn's hand and happily did a handshake.

"Hello, Louis." He said in a deep husky voice. His voice perfectly fits his appearance.

"Here's Niall, the client I'm working for." Louis introduced me and I stepped in as well making us stood beside each other now. I grabbed Mr. Malik's hand, shaking it. There it is, that tingling sensation.

"H...Hi, Mr. Malik, I'm Niall. Niall Horan." I said while shaking his hand. He just smirked at me, I slowly pulled away. "You're cute." I felt heat creeping up to my cheeks indicating that I'm blushing. Obviously with that kind of charm and appearance, you could easily get into the showbiz business or even others you want you just have to make good use of it.

"By the way, this is my manager, Harry Styles. Harry, these are Niall and Louis." Mr. Malik said.

"Nice to meet you guys. Please, have a seat." Harry smiled at us.

Zayn and Harry were sitting next to each other so Louis and I quickly occupied the seats in front of them. At the moment, I tried to make myself comfortable wanting to leave a good impression to Mr. Malik. He is one of the veteran actors of the century and if he made a bad impression to Mr. Malik, then he shouldn't be surprised that Mr.Malik can turn his life upside down in just a snap of a finger. Since most likely he got control of the upcoming show with his reputation he can atleast order the crew what he wants in order to keep him going.

So yeah, if I don't leave a good impression he can go strike me on the set, distracting me and tricking me into something I might regret or even worse he can ask the producers to find another person who can fit my position.

"So, the reason we're here is in order to get to know both parties and further discuss the nature of the show." Harry spoke.

"Right, we have to work united or harmonious so we could attract more viewers for the upcoming show." Louis agreed to Harry, smiling sweetly. What's with him anyway?

"So Niall, how old are you anyway?" Mr. Malik asked out of blue.

"'Well, I'm 22 now, Mr. Malik." I answered him politely.

"Please stop refraining to me as Mr. Malik. I would prefer to be called, Zayn." He smirked which reminded me of something. I wonder what it is.

"Sorry. How about you Zayn, how old are you?" I asked him back I hope it didn't sound too bad.

"I'm 26, I hope you don't find that too old." He smiled a bit.

"No, I don't." I reassured him. I shifted my gaze to the right. Louis and Harry were staring at each other. Wait, what happened? I seriously forgot about him though.

"You're still intimidating as ever." I heard Zayn whisper under his breath, I was going to ask what he was talking about but I guess it's not my concern so I'll let it slip.

Under the table, my hands worked its way to Louis' sides. Once I reached, I quickly pinched it making him let out a yelp.

"That hurts, what did you do that fo-" I glared at him before he can finish his sentence, making him stop. I mouthed 'Talk with us.' Louis nodded as a replied, he faced Zayn and Harry.

"Sorry, to cut off the get-to-know process, but could we focus more about the upcoming show?" Louis said.

Good thing, Louis chose that. We really didn't have any clue since it's almost a month since I got offered and graciously accepted the offer. We haven't got any contact from the producers or the TV station since they got a lot of projects they're getting ready for this year. To make it short, we don't have full details about the show but I guess Zayn and Harry do, since they should be the priority of the producers or the station for their reputation and appeal to the viewers.

"Yes, good point there. We know you don't have full details about the show since as you've already see the station is really loaded with work right now but Zayn here have ordered me to communicate to get the details and so I've did." Harry said as he pulls out the papers from his sling bag, handing it to Louis.

"The producers and the TV station as well wanted to announce the show's nature, when the whole cast they wanted are all together so they wouldn't have to separately explain each part but I hope after this you won't back out." He added.

Louis carefully took the papers from Harry. I moved closer to get a look at the paper, at the top I can already see the TV station's logo. I slowly shifted down reading every bit. I was shocked to see what was written there. It wasn't really the kind of thing they would broadcast on TV. It was not even close to any shows, It was my first time seeing the kind of plot adding the mere fact that it is to be shown on TV.

"Unusual plot, isn't it?" Harry pointed out. "I guess it's some gimmick the TV station is pulling out to attract more viewers and supporters for their station. Adding the fact, they've carefully chosen there candidates for each role. Not being cocky, but with the unusual plot and some big stars here like, Zayn I guess the TV station is going to meet there goal. P.S, Since gay rights and marriage is being a hot topic over the globe right now, I guess that's where they got the story also using the impact of the topic to the people to attract more viewers. Personally, I think it will be a big hit... hopefully." He explained.

I-, I mean Louis and I were stunned, dumbfounded and everything! God, how could Zayn Malik agree to do the show? Did the station bribed him in order to get him to act for their new show or maybe he was attracted to the plot and most of all, why the hell me?

A/N: Sorry, I'm ending it there. It's short and shit no need to remind me guys. I don't know if I intended to make it unclear or really I can't write it clearly but I..I don't know if I can promise.... It would get more clear on the next chapter it's kinda weird right now but on the chapter I'll let you guys know more. I left a little clue, what do you think the show is all about? Yeah? I hope the next chapter will answer the question and maybe other your questions during this chapter. So how is it so far, like it? ~Ziallpuffs
