Another World

Chapter 2

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. Paige was still fast asleep in the bed next to mine. I slammed the snooze button, dragged myself out of the warm sheets and across to cupboard. I pulled out my work uniform and chucked it on over my underwear. After changing I looked back at Paige, I was surprised to see her still sleeping as her ‘babies’ were arriving today.  I walked across to her bed to wake her up otherwise we would be late for work. I shock her body once before she leapt up out of bed and started squalling.  

“Grace their coming!” she screamed right in my face, showering me in spit.

“Thanks for that” I replied whipping the spit off with my hand. I walked out the room leaving Paige to fan girl, but she shortly came running after me with her shirt half done up and her heels in her hands.

“Whoa Grace Hold up” she shouted down the hall way.

“Hurry Up we will be late.” I shouted back at her.  I continued to make my way to the main restaurant leaving Paige behind.  There were already mobs of screaming girls outside the hotel even though the boys weren’t due to arrive for another hour or so. I rolled my eyes at the sight of them and kept walking. When I arrived I grabbed my badge and made my way over to the rooster table.

“Well it looks like I’ve got waiting tables today, Yay!” I said sarcastically to Jake who was standing beside me frowning in disappointment.

“You think that’s bad, I’ve got to show that group of gays around all morning”

“Oh that sucks I don’t understand why they are such a big deal, they have like two songs that are both equally as shit as each other.” I groaned and tied my hair up into a loose pony tail.

“Yeah I know they both sound like they should be on high-5 or the wiggles.”  We both begun to laugh but were cut off by Paige storming in.

“Why did you leave me, arhhhh I had to walk here by myself?”  She started to rant on again about how friends would wait for her and all that but I just walked off with Jake.   When we were walking through the hall way two little girls came running past almost knocking me over. The One with blonde hair begun shouting “They’re here, One Direction are here!” Jake rolled his eyes and said “Well I better be off, I’ve got tour guiding to do.” He smiled and wink then walked off in the direction of the reception.  I strolled back to the kitchen, grabbed my apron and tied it in a bow around my waist. The next minute the manager came charging in “This week is an important week; we are getting paid good money so no screw ups.”

“Well that shouldn’t worry us; we only get paid with bar peanuts” typical Luke, taking every opportunity to make a joke. He didn’t seem to be particularly satisfied when the room didn’t fill with laughter like he expected, instead the sound of his best mate Dylan’s giggle echoed around the kitchen.   When the room fell silent again Marley, our manager finished his speech.

“Any questions?” he asked the employees.

“How long are they staying?” I heard a female voice somewhere behind me ask.

“Two weeks” Marley replied. I practically choked on air when he said this, two weeks? I had to put up with this for two fucking whole weeks. I exchanged glances with my mate Olly who was standing on the other side of the room. His jaw was dropped so low it look like it was about to full off, “ Two fucking whole weeks”  he mouthed with a disorderly look on his face.  “Kill me now” I mouthed back at him and he made a gun figure out of his hand and pretended to shoot me.  I quietly giggled but Marley started shouting at us.

“Grace, Olly stop mucking around and pay attention. This is important!”

“Sorry sir” we both replied in unison.
