Dedicated to: Still-In-Thinking for being an awesome editor for me :D

I woke up bright and early, excited for the morning ahead. Today was the day I was going to get my own back on Niall. Picking up a box from the cupboard in the bathroom, I began to get ready. Every time I looked at the box, a smile worked its way to my face. The box was full of wax strips.

Niall had made a bet that I was unquestionably going to make him uphold when he lost. There was no way out of the situation. Josh had ordered all staff to sing the song that Niall confidently guaranteed that the staff wouldn't sing. He also ordered them not to breathe a word of this to his beta. 

This means that I got to accomplish payback, achieve a day long goal and bond more with the kitchen staff; all within the space of a few hours.

Heading down to the kitchen, I hid the box in a small bag that I had borrowed from Marie and strapped it over my shoulder. There was no way I was going to lose these and ruin my chances of compensation for that kiss yesterday.

I walked into the kitchen, picked out some fruit and a knife, and started preparing fruit salad like I had the other day. I quickly smirked at Marie who was at the other side of the kitchen, giving her a wink to let her know that we would be getting revenge soon.

"Good morning all, lovely day isn't it? The birds are singing, my cheek is shining..." That comment almost made me lose composure. It was 100% directed at me, after all, it was the palm of my hand that had caused the slight bruising on his cheek.

Lets get this justice on a plate and start serving it! "Ready guys?" I didn't turn around to see the look on Niall's face, but I knew that he must look slightly curious. I looked to Marie and nodded for her to play the music.

The whole kitchen burst into a chorus of "Chop, chop, chop, chop, chopping!" and some even began dancing. By dancing, I do not mean a little 'jig'. By dancing, I mean a genuine routine. Had these guys stayed up all night rehearsing? I never asked Josh to put this together; or ask them to.

 Wiggling my hips to the music. I realised that we were almost at the end. "Once more from the top guys!" I whooped before turning to the bag and picking up the box of wax strips.

Turning around, I handed the box to Niall and smirked. "Remember that little bet we had? Its time for you to pay up." I winked at him.

"You know I didn't mean that though, don't you? It was a joke, not a real bet." His attempts at reasoning weren't going to help him at all in this situation. He'd got himself into it, he wasn't getting back out of it.

"A bet's a bet. Now turn around and shrug off your shirt; I've got a collection to make." Everyone in the kitchen roared with laughter. "Chop chop boy - pun intended. Cant have the audience waiting all day now can we?" I was struggling to keep the grin for my face now.

"Oh no, what a monstrous person I would be to keep them all waiting to see me suffer. I'm glad you all find my discomfort amusing." Sensing sarcasm, I decided to participate in the sarcastic war he was creating.

"Aw, thanks Niall! Such a sweetie isn't he guys? Speeding up just to satisfy us." The crowd of people around us nodded in enjoyment. I also noticed Josh stood to one side snickering.

"Josh, is there anyway you can please end this?" Niall had resorted to pleaded in order to escape. "I'll do anything!" He put emphasis on the word 'anything'.

"Sorry Niall, no can do. Like the girl said, 'A bet's a bet'. Witnesses heard you say it, therefore there is no way out." I was starting to think Josh was a good actor; the whole time he said that, he didn't laugh and had a semi-serious look on his face.

Niall shrugged off the shirt he was wearing, a glum look on his face. He looked slighly pale and sick. "Man up Niall! Its only a bit of hair loss! Your gonna get that soon enough with a receeding hairline! Its not that painful." After my comical speech, I placed a strip of wax on his pack and counted to three before ripping it off.

"Holy snap crackle and pop! What rabbit licking light bulb would choose to do this ever four to six weeks on their legs!" Niall cry forced everybody in the whole building to laugh. I honestly thought that the building was shaking for a moment.
