Simon Cowell's Daughter

Chapter 26 : Interview From Hell

Ariel POV:

Just 3 more days and I'm finally free from this dumb hotel arrest. This punishment has been a pain on the butt lately. Tony has been glued to me and I am sick and tired of seeing his face. Everywhere I go, he's always right there. Even right now. He's outside at the other side of my bedroom door guarding me.

The only time I can go out my room is when I'm hungry to get food or use the toilet. There's only so much a girl can do with her phone and laptop. Trust me it's not that fun. I'm even tired watching shows on the television.

What I hate the most is that we're here in Orlando, Florid. Which means nice and sunny weather. But guess what.. I can't even enjoy it because I am stuck in my dumb room.

I'm sure Zayn feels the same way. I'm sure he's just as bored as I am. But I've noticed lately he's been a little distant with me. Looks like something is going through his mind. I wanted to ask him what's wrong but I went against it. Maybe it has to do with Perrie or some type of family problem.

I decide to go look out my balcony to get some fresh air. When I looked out, I saw Niall, Liam, Harry and Louis enjoying themselves on the beach. Those boys are so lucky.

Oh how I wish that was me out there with then. Enjoying the hot warm weather. The sun shinning over me and going into the cool, blue water. Envious of watching them.

I huff and go back inside my room. Maybe it's better to talk to someone. That would keep me sane for the next few hours.

Turning on my laptop, I log in into my Skype account. Okay let's see who I am going to bother today. I scroll down into my contact list. Aha... I found my perfect victim.

I call that person and right away they accepted my video chat request.

"Ryder. I missed you soooo much." I yelled out through the screen.

"Finally you called cupcake. I thought you didn't want to talk to me or see me anymore." He wipes away his imaginary tear.

"What?! You know I alway want to see you. It's just been busy lately with the guys' concerts, meet and greets, recording sessions and interviews." I explain to him.

"I know cupcake. Who wouldn't want talk to me?" He compliments himself. I roll my eyes.

"Yup I'm definitely talking to Ryder. The on with the big ego."

"The one and only." He smirks.

After us joking around, I just realised I missed Ryder a lot. I wish he was here with me at the tour. For sure he would have a lot of fun.

Ryder has told me what has been going on since I was gone. He's been telling me that college life was hell. But it will be all worth it once he graduates. He is trying to get his degree in business management. Also he tells me that he misses me a lot. Mostly for the reason to annoy me and to play video games with but I know he was just joking about that.

"So enough about my life. So how's the boys, Simon and you?" Ryder asks me.

"Well the boys are doing great. We're in sunny Orlando, Florida. Also they have an interview today but I don't know with who and let's just say I'm not really my dad's favorite person right." I tell him.

"Why? What's going on with you and your dad?" Ryder asks me in a serious tone.

"It's a long story. Pretty much when we were in New York Zayn promised me a tour around. But it was getting late and I knew Simon wouldn't let us go out. So we snuck out."

"Wait how did you pass the guards. I'm sure Simon had them everywhere." Ryder questioned getting interested in my story.

"Yah we had 4 guards that night. But the other two went to go get some food. So it was the two standing outside of the front door. I kinda of made an excuse saying that my father needed to see the both of them right away. That it was urgent. First they didn't believe me saying that they didn't want to leave their post. But then I told them that my father didn't like to be kept waiting. That's when they actually went in. When they did that's when Zayn and I snuck out." I explained answering his question.
