Simon Cowell's Daughter

Chapter 25: Trouble

Ariel POV:

Paul drove the van to the back side of the hotel so nobody would recognize us. When we parked they both got out of the van opening the door for us. Zayn and I got out and entered the hotel. Paul and Tony were on both of our sides. Pretty much making sure we won't escape.

We got in the elevator and put a code in to go to the penthouse. The elevator accepted it and we started to ascend. None of us said a word in the elevator. It was just silent.

We arrived to the penthouse floor and started to walk to the direction of our room. Simon is so going to be furious with me.

Paul slides the keycard to the slot and opens the door. Once we all came in, I was faced with a not happy Simon. Yup I am so in trouble. Simon had his arms crossed over his chest with an angry expression written all over his face.

"Paul. Tony. You two are dismissed and thank you for bringing them back safely." Simon says to them. They both nod and left right away. Leaving Zayn and I face to face with Simon in the middle of the living room.

"You two are in so much. You don't know how raging I am. There were rules established and still the both of you broke them. Plus you both agreed to follow every single one of them. Yet you broke almost half of them already." Simon scolded at us.

"We're here now. Plus nobody knew who we were. Zayn had a disguise on and nobody knows I'm your daughter Simon." I explain to him.

"That's not the point Ariel. New York can be a dangerous place as well. There a kidnappers, rapists, and crazy people out there. What if something happened to you? I can't live with myself. Plus you Zayn. You are like a son to me; you and all of the boys are. There is a reason why I have many body guards. To keep all of you safe. "

Okay now I definitely feel bad . I look over Zayn and see him frowning. He must feel the same thing I'm feeling.

"I'm sorry Simon. I truly am. I promise that we won't sneak out ever again. And if we ever need to go out we will tell you and always bring guards with us." I sincerely say to him.

"I'm sorry too Uncle Si. We just wanted to feel a little free that's all." Zayn added sadly.

Simon sighs. "Zayn, I know it's hard being famous at times and you want to feel like your normal self before One Direction. But you just have to accept that it won't be easy from here on out. Your well known; every paparazzi would want a photo, a story or anything to get from you. And trust me Zayn it's never a pretty story. Just full of lies and rumors."

"Ariel I know your not well known yet but you will be soon because of me. Your with me 24/7 and somebody will connect the dots soon. They will try to find out who you are and everything about you. That's why I'm trying to keep you hidden as much as possible." Simon says to me.

Zayn and I both nodded. We both mumbled out sorry for the last time.

"You both are forgiven but this won't go unpunished." Simon strictly says to the both of us. Zayn and I both groan. "For a month, the both of you will be on house arrest or hotel arrest in this matter. No going out and no exploring. It's just going to the interviews, recording studios and doing the concerts. After the day is done the both of you will go straight to the hotel. I will plus assign guards to the both of you, Ariel you get Tony and Zayn you get Paul."

"Why do I get Tony? I don't like him. Can I switch with Zayn?" I whine.

"No Ariel." Simon says. I huff and start to pout.

"Okay we had a long day. Go to bed and I don't want to hear a peep from the both of you."

Zayn and I both listen to Simon and trudge up the stairs. Just as we reached to the top of the stairs, we both said goodnight to each other and went our separate ways to our room.

Zayn POV:

Just as I reached my room, I saw a groggily woken up Liam. "Hey where did you go? I went to go pee like an hour ago and didn't see you in bed?" He curiously asked me.

"I went out with Ariel giving her a tour of New York." I explained to him.

Liam sits up from his bed and got interested from what I told him. Yup he's fully awake now.

"Sooo... what did you guys do and how come I wasn't invited?" Liam pretends to act all hurt.

I moved to my bed and sat down on the edge of it. "I wanted to have some alone time with her." I simply say to Liam.

"Ah I see what this is. You like her don't you?" Liam teases me.

"Pfffttt.... No I don't. She's just an awesome person to hang out with." Just as I finished, Liam gave me a I don't believe you for one second look.

I sigh. "I do. I like her a lot. She makes me feel whole again. Ever since with Perrie, I never felt a spark with any other woman I went out with. With Ariel it's different. I could easily open up to her, she always makes me smile, and she's just the definition of perfect. I just don't feel a spark with her, I feel the whole damn fireworks."

"Then why haven't you made a move yet? Ask her out." Liam advices me.

" I was going to but Tony and Paul found us at the park. Ariel and I started to run away from them. Until eventually they caught the both of us." I explain to him.

"Talk about bad timing." Liam jokes. Laughing a little.

"You could say that again."

"Well all I could say is just try again. I think Ariel is perfect for you because she brings out the happy Zayn back." Liam tells me.

"Why? Aren't I not the happy Zayn?" I ask him.

"Well from what I've seen, before Ariel came, it seemed like you were forced to smile and be happy. Plus you weren't as talkative. You were still mourning over Perrie. I understand that it takes time to heal and move on from a loved one. But when Ariel came into your life you seem more happy, full of life and starting to move on. You smile more, you joke around and your so much talkative." Liam points out to me.

He's right. Ariel definitely helped me get back the good old me. She really is something.

"Your right. She brings out best of me." I agree with him.

"So try and asking her out again." He says.

"But what if she doesn't like me that way?" I ask him. Getting worried about that idea in my head.

"Doesn't hurt to try. It's better trying than not doing it at all and regretting it in future." Liam tells me.

"Okay. I'll ask her."

"Good. Well if you'll excuse me I'm going to need my beauty rest." Liam lays down on his pillow and puts the blanket over him.

I roll my eyes . I get up taking off my shirt and pants leaving only my boxers. I got into my and put the blanket over my body. Slowly my eye lids close and sleep takes over me.
