Locked up for Love

Chapter 5. - Nerves.

“Zayn, you’re cheating!”

Niall almost threw the Nintendo DS on the floor, cause he thought he was losing. In protest, he put another Oreo in his mouth and chewed on it angrily.

“No, I’m not!” Zayn protested and he smiled, while Harry wasn’t paying any attention, cause he was so into the Pokémon game.

“Take that, you cunts!” Niall screamed fanatic. Harry fell off the bed, because he was trying so hard to win. He groaned and said irritated, secretly imitating Liam:

“Mind your language, Niall!” Niall didn’t answer but took another Oreo.

“No, no, no! This isn’t happening!” Zayn shouted and Niall laughed triumphantly.

“Yes it is… YES I WON!” Niall spit out the last bite of his Oreo of excitement and crumbles covered  the floor. Caused by that, Harry burst out in an uncontrollable loud laugh and because he was still laying on the floor, he kind of rolled over it, with his hands on his tummy.

Suddenly a knock sounded on the door and someone pulled down the door handle. It turned out to be mister Dallas, followed by Lou Teasdale, the boys stylist, and Lux. Harry forgot about the game and immediately ran into Lux, screaming her name:

“Luxie!” He shouted and he picked her up, as she put her tiny arms around him and he spinned her around in the air. She giggled loudly and Harry held her close to his chest, putting a little kiss on her forehead. He put her down again, but Lux kept chuckling and giggling and grabbed Harry’s leg. He started to laugh and took her little hands, while walking with her over the carpet.

“So”, mister Dallas started and he sat down on a fauteuil next to the beds. “Lou needs to get you all ready for the show and of course the cameras. Well, decide yourself who goes first…”

“Me!” Zayn immediately said and he already sat down in front of the mirror. Lou grabbed some of her stuff from her make-up case and got ready to help Zayn. While Zayn got his make-up on, Harry was still playing with Lux and Niall just grabbed his phone to have a look on Twitter. He searched for the hashtag #LockedUpForLove and read through the tweets about it, getting really nervous now. Mister Dallas began to talk about the show and the girls, although none of them was really listening:

“I’ve met the girls already and they’re really nice. I’m sure this is going to be success!” He said enthusiastic. Niall bit his lip, cause he was getting more and more nervous. Mister Dallas kept talking, but Lou ignored it and said Zayn was ready, so he switched with Harry. Lux raised her hands up in the air when Harry stood up to switch with Zayn. She pouted and felt a little left alone, but when Zayn kneeled down in front of her, a huge smile appeared on her little cute face again. He took her stuffed giraffe Sophie and started to talk with a sweet kiddy-like voice as if he was the giraffe.

Apparently mister Dallas finished talking, because he got a text the girls had arrived.

“I’ve to go, chaps. Good luck with your preparations…” He quickly said and he left the room. After he had gone Lou sighed deeply and shook her head.

“Finally that prick is gone. He annoyed me well… Okay, come over here, Niall, your turn.” Niall sat down on the chair and he swallowed once. “Are you alright?” Lou asked him, but Niall’s trembling hands betrayed the opposite.

“Doesn’t really look like it”, Harry smirked, “he’s nervous as hell.” Niall turned his head around to him and had an angry look on his face. No way he was going to admit he was nervous.

“Aw, don’t be twitchy, darling”, Lou cheered him up. “Look at you handsome!” She touched his cheek with her hands and smiled. “Who can resist such a beautiful Irish guy?” That made Niall smile widely and he blushed a little.

“Well, I’m finished”, Lou said with a chuckle, happy she could cheer him up. “I’m leaving now, I wish you good luck.” She packed her stuff and took Lux from the ground.

“Noooo!” Zayn shouted. “Don’t take away my cutie pie!” Harry laughed and threw a pillow at his head.

“You’re such an idiot!” He said and he grinned, but Lou smiled at them and closed the door behind her.

Just as they thought it was quiet again, the door of the room opened again and the three lads got surprised by a wide grinning Louis who jumped into the room.

“OH MY GOD, BOYS!” He shouted and he walked into the room, as Liam followed him. “Look”, he said and he pointed at the large screen in the room with a remote controller. He pushed a certain button and suddenly something appeared on the screen. With a complacent smirk, Louis showed the three curious boys the screen, where you were able to see the contestants in the living room. Niall pulled his hands through his hair and groaned softly.

“Oh dear…” He whispered and he couldn’t contain his nerves. Liam sat down next to him.

“Come on Niall”, he started comforting, “you’ll be fine. Don’t forget those girls are here for you as well.”

“I know”, Niall said, not quite securely.

“Look at her, she’s hot!” Harry suddenly shouted, interrupting the conversation.

“Who?” Zayn asked interested. Harry pointed at the screen and twinkles appeared in his eyes.

“That one, on the high heels. With the short skirt and the long blonde hair.” Zayn frowned and Louis blabbermouthed:

“She looks like Perrie!” He said, without thinking about the consequences.

“No, she doesn’t…” Zayn said, a bit annoyed. “Let’s not talk about her anymore, okay, leave it… Please.” The look on Zayn’s face was really serious as Louis watched him and he knew he mean it. It remained silent for a while and Harry broke the silence:

“Okay, boys. Let’s just watch the girls on the screen. Soon we’ll be meeting them…”
