Bad Influence

"Alright Zaynie, I've made my decision." I said as I came into his apartment. "Really?" He said and paused the video game he was playing. I nodded and sat down next to him. "Alright, I've decided to do it." I said. Zayn looked at me. "Really? Are you sure?" He asked. I nodded. Zayn smiled. "Thank you so much Angel!" He said and gave me a hug. I smiled. "Just call your stupid manager and let me see this contract." I said. Zayn laughed. "I have to pretend to date you for a while, lord be with me." Zayn joked. I stuck my tongue out. "It's a win for me, I get to make money on this." I said. Zayn laughed before he picked up his phone. "I'll be right back." He told me. I nodded and picked up my phone. I texted my mum, letting her know what my answer to Zayn would be. Zayn came back in and sat down next to me. "We have to go down to their office, they want to meet us, talk about what is going to happen and we both have to sign a contract." Zayn explained. I nodded and got up. "How are we getting there? Neither you or I can drive." I said. "I also called us a cab." He told me. I nodded. "Alright, then we better get ready." I said as Zayn got up. He looked at me. "You honestly don't have to do this. If you don't want to then we'll stop it right now." Zayn said. I smiled and squeezed his hand. "I want to, alright. I think it'll be fun. And besides, I'm making money, so it's a win-win." I said. Zayn smiled and gave me a hug. "Thank you." He said before he let me go.

"Ladies first." Zayn said as he opened the office door for me. "Why, thank you sir." I said before I walked inside. I could hear Zayn laugh behind me as I stopped. The lobby were amazing. It was huge, it had a few places to sit, large windows and of course a front desk. Zayn walked straight over to the front desk. "How are you today Sarah?" He asked with a smile. Of course Zayn would know the name of every worker here. "I'm good. You must be Angel." Sarah said. I nodded. "Nice to meet you." I said. "Well, we'll be heading up." Zayn told her. Sarah nodded and pushed a button so we could walk through. "Alright, remember you can just pull out now, if you don't want to do this." Zayn said. "Quit worrying Zayn, I want to do this. Trust me." I said. Zayn sighed. "I'm just afraid this will ruin us." He said. "It won't happen, alright?" I asked. Zayn nodded. "Alright." Zayn agreed before he opened a door to an office. There were three people waiting for us in the office. Two of them were men the last one woman. They were sitting around a small table drinking something I guessed were coffee. The office were quite big. It had a coffeemaker on a table in the corner with a million cups next to it, it had three huge windows looking out into the city, there were small sitting area that were not around the table and of course the table Zayn and I were headed too. "Hello." Zayn said and shook the hand of each person. "Hello Zayn." One of the guys said. He then looked at me. "And you are Angel, of course. It's nice to meet you I'm George Parkinson, but just call me George." He said and shook my hand. "I'm Phillip Yard, for you I'm just Phil." The other man said and shook my hand. I turned to the woman. "And I'm Gina Marks." She said while shaking my hand. "Alright, now that we have introduced ourselves, let's get down to business, shall we?" Phil said. Zayn nodded and sat down. I sat down next to him. "Alright, let's talk." Gina said and opened a little notebook. "So, what we want from you two is to pretend to date. This means that you two go out in public even more together, go to the movies, cafés, restaurants and every public event Zayn has to attend together. You will do your relationship public via twitter. Of course you'll have to hold hands, kiss, hug and things like that in public so the paparazzi's will take pictures. That will give Zayn, and One Direction more publicity, and by that we will sell more singles and albums. Of course we have called your mum since you are a minor and she has given us her blessing. We have to get you to sign this contract." George said. I nodded as he passed me the contract. "It says that you agree to pretend to date not only in front of the public, but also to the other bandmates and friends. This will not be for a long time and you can pull out anytime you'd like, but you won't get the money for that week. Do we have an agreement?" Gina said. I picked up the contract and read through it. One thing I had leant trough the years with a dad as a lawyer and countless drug deals, I knew if there was something up. I used to think I wanted to be a lawyer like my dad when I was little, but now I wanted to something with makeup or singing. "We have an agreement." I said after carefully reading the whole thing several times. "Alright, you'll have to sing here, here and here." Gina said and pointed at the contract. I signed it before they passed it over to Zayn. "You'll have to sign it too." Gina said and pointed out the places for Zayn. He signed them before he looked at me. I gave him a reassuring smile. "Thank you." He mouthed. "You owe me one." I mouthed back. We both stood up and shook their hands one more time before we walked out.
