The Intern

Chapter 8

I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked decent. Z said I could wear something simple, but that was it. He still haven't told me where are we going and my curiosity is killing me. I was wearing a pale pink top, black leggings, cut out boots and my denim jacket. I finished the look with curls and some make up. I guess I was fine. 

It was almost 7:30pm when I get the usual text from Zayn saying that I could come out. My mom is not home so I just go straight outside to see him by his car waiting for me. He was in a black sleevless shirt, with a snake print, black ripped jeans and boots. Even though i'm used to see him, he never fail to impress me. His quiff was perfectly up and his smile was showing. Gosh, I love him. Wait, what? No, i don't.

"Are you ok, Jess?" He asked when I got to him. 

"Yes im fine," No you liar, you just thought you love him. "You look handsome, as always."

He smiled and pulled me to him, caughting me by surprise. Our lips connected and I shivered. The taste of chocolate in his mouth was amazing and I wonder if that is the real taste of his lips. I swear I could stay like this forever. After a while, we searched for air.

"Come on, we have to go. If we stay here another minute I will drag you inside the house." He said. We both let out a little laugh and got in the car. 

After driving for a while, we stopped in front of this huge house. I swear I could feel the richness from outside, jesus.

"It's here?" Zayn nodded. "Who lives here?"

"You'll see." He replied.

We stepped out of the car and walked over the door. Zayn knocked and this guy oppened the door seconds later and I was blown away by how perfect he is. His ocean blue eyes were staring at me and he had a smirk on his face. His brown hair was all messed up ans stayed perfectly to the side. Oh my, he was handsome.

"Jessie, this is Louis. Mate, this is Jessie." Zayn said. 

"It's lovely to meet you." He said to me, smiling.

So, i'm going to have dinner with two thieves? Awesome. At least they are good looking.

"It's nice to meet you too." I said.

"Please come in."

Louis opened the door fully and we entered the place. His house is fucking huge. It has this enormous chandelier hanging at the hallway and a statue in the middle of two stairs. The floor and all the walls looked like they are polished every minute of the day and I was blown away by the size of this house. This hot motherfucker is rich as fuck.

"Why am I exactly here?" I asked, once we reached what I believe to be the living room.

"Please, have a seat. Dinner will be served soon." Louis said looking at me.

"Why am I here, again?" I was getting nervous.

"Please relax honey. We will discuss everything over dinner."

His maid soon entered the room and said dinner was ready.

"Let's go eat, shall we?" Louis' blue eyes looked into mine. Oh, he was trouble, i could tell.

************

"This is some really good shit." I put another piece of the meat his maid served in my mouth and I mouthed a shy 'sorry' for cursing.

"Sorry, she swears a lot." Zayn laughed and grabbed my hand under the table. He was sitting right next to me and Louis was in front of us.

"It's ok lad, you know i curse a lot too." He smiled, a smile that reached his eyes. He's really handsome.

"So, can you now please tell me why am I here?" I asked.

Louis looked at his maid that was in the corner of the room and nodded his head, dismissing her. As soon she left the room, he started to talk.

"Zayn told me about your idea of joining us in our... job." He started. I looked at Zayn and his eyes were at the table, his hand still on mine. "He said that your idea is crazy since you are a girl and you have no training, but i talked to him and I wanted to have this dinner with you to really discuss the topic. First, i need a solid reason why you want to do this."

" Well, I know that it's a crazy idea but I really need to do this. You see, I live with my mom and my brother, and since my parents split, my mom can't pay any of ours bills. I mean, we don't really have money for nothing, it's even hard to buy food. My brother is trying to get a job but he just can't, and I still have one year of school in front of me so I can't work. So yes, I need this to help my family. I don't care if it's wrong or if it's a big risk, but my mom always made everything for me, so I want to help her right now." When I finish talking I was out of breath and I let out a small tear. This topic is exausting.

Zayn's hand was now rubbing mine and with the other hand he wipped the tear. 

"I'm sorry.." I whispered, but i'm sure they've heard me.

"Ok, you got my attention now. How much are you willing to do this? Can you be trained by us?" Louis asked.

"I'm willing to do this 100% and yes, I can. I really want to do this and I will never look back, you can count on me Louis." I said to him, I was totally being honest here.

"Are you sure?" He asked me.

"Yes," I looked at Zayn and even though he's not looking me directly I know if he looked at me I would see sadness in his eyes "but I will only do this if Zayn wants me to do it."

His eyes met mine and I saw confidence in them. I knew he was by my side whatever my decision was and that was one of the things that I love about him... what? Again with the L word? Oh fuck.

"Do it Jess. I believe in you and I know that this is going to be good for you. I know you have to help your family and i'm here to support you with whatever your decision is. Don't ever forget that i'm here for you and i lo..."

He stop talking and his expresion changed. He was chocked just as I was. Oh no, no no no this can't be happening.

"So do we have a deal?" Louis said, coughing and a little much louder than the normal.

I looked again at Zayn and his eyes weren't at mine anymore but his words were still on my mind. I nodded.

"Yes, we have a deal."

"Welcome on board. I hope you are good at lying and stealing, because your life will depend on that." Louis said, metting his eyes with mine.

Oh fuck, what have I done?
