Tangled Hearts: A Louis Tomlinson Fanfic

Work Day?

--------- Hello! Well, I been working on a couple of stories all at once, so as time goes by, the format of my writing changes. So, I’m gonna change the format a bit for this story too. It’ll be easier to read, promise :] Thanks. Please let me know what you think about the story.

It was only yesterday that I, literally, ran into One Direction. I still couldn’t believe it. It was like a dream. I was up at 6am by a phone call from work. It seems that one of the workers got food poisoning and won’t be able to go into work, so they called me to fill in. I groaned and dragged myself to get ready. It was supposed to be my day off. And after meeting One Direction I couldn’t sleep well because I was fangirling too much about meeting them. Being a Directioner is a curse! After hoping into the shower, I brushed my hair, teeth, then wrapped my towel around my hair. I slipped in my undergarments followed by my white, quarter sleeved blouse and a waist high skirt that reached the bottom of my knees. This was my favorite skirt, it even had a subtle bow on the back above the little slit of my skirt at the bottom. I unwrapped my hair, fixed it up a bit and then pinned it up in a fancy bun. To finish my outfit, I wore covered toe pumps. My boss told me through the phone that we were doing a photo shoot so I had to be there as soon as possible to get the set ready. I preferred to not wear makeup but for work I had to. I put on a bit of foundation, eyeliner, mascara, and pink lip gloss. It wasn’t much makeup but they never complained that it wasn’t enough.

It was now 7am and I grabbed my keys, cell phone and shoved everything in my bag leaving the house and locking the door behind me. Work was only two blocks away so I walked my way over there, stopping at Starbucks on the way. I finally got to work and entered the elevator. Upon reaching my destination, there was no one in the waiting room, aka my office. However, you could hear a lot of ruckus coming from the back room. I opened the door and everyone was scrambling around getting the set ready.

“Nikki!!! Thank goodness you’re here. Help us out will ya?” My manager Chris asked.

There were a few others helping with the set. Some were helping the photographer get his cameras ready, some were setting up the lights, and others were setting up props. I just jumped in with no real directions. I may have been new to the job, but I have been setting up for photo shoots very often.  We finally finished setting up and headed into the waiting room. I sat at my desk while others sat on the other vacant chairs. We were all talking and laughing.

“So, whose photo shoot are we working on? I asked. I didn’t know who it was because I wasn’t supposed to even be working.

“That British boy band One Direction.” Chris answered. I was in shock.

“What?! How did I not know this?!” I demanded to know.

“Are you a fan of theirs?” Chris asked. Raising an eyebrow with interest.

“Yeah! A huge fan!” I said excitedly.

Me being 18 made me the youngest worker there. I had just graduated high school last year. So if course I knew who they were.

“Well then, I guess this is your lucky day.” I heard someone say from the door entrance.

I turned my body to the direction on the door to see the familiar boys standing at the door. It was Louis in the front of the pack. His voice was definitely one I could not forget. When he said it was my lucky day, I couldn’t agree more. I got to see One Direction once more. Life was good.

“I- Umm, how long were you guys standing there?” I stuttered with my face turning into a tomato.

Louis had a smirk played on his lips as well as the other boys. They all made their way in looking around the familiar setting and introducing themselves to the others. They all came up to me saying hello and how it was nice to see me again. Niall actually complimented on my outfit.

“Wow, this is a very different look than the first time we met you.” Niall stated.

“Yeah, this is my work clothes.” I smiled.

“It looks really nice. Very fitting.” Liam added, a smile on his lips.

“I think I liked the first outfit.” Louis joked. The other boys let out a soft chuckle.

“Yeah, you have a cute bum.” Harry added causing more snickers to fill the room.

My face went totally red. I was so embarrassed. I couldn’t believe this was happening. I buried me face in my hands looking down.

“C’mon squirt, you should be thrilled at the compliments.” Chris chucked.

“She doesn’t do too well with compliments. It’s incredibly adorable.” Another voice mentioned from across the room.

It was the photographer assistant that I am very close to. Her name is Jessica Maddison. She is a total sweetheart. Acted like my big sister. She had long wavy brown hair that was currently pinned up, flawless pale skin, and stood at 6ft with in her stilettos. The boys turned their attention to her than back at me.

“Why not?” Zayn asked curiously.

“I haven’t a clue. Why don’t you tell us, Nik.” She smiled in my direction putting me on the spot once again.

“err, I honestly don’t know.” I stated. Which was true. I really don’t know.
