Chapter 10:"Where the fudge is the cup?!"

"Liam! Just the person I wanted to speak with!" Simon patted him on the back as he greeted him.

"What's up?" Liam asked. He was always kinda nervous around Simon but tried to hide it.

"You're such a chill guy! That's one of your great qualities!"

"-Thanks!" Liam added before he dropped the bomb on him with some 'constructive criticism' that he always had in hand.

"-But maybe too chill." Was that all? Where's the insult? Where's the 'you're never going to make it big outside of One Direction, so enjoy it while you can' advice? Liam thought shocked by the little insult.

"What's your point?" Liam asked as he sat down on a chair.

"You're not making enough headlines! You need more publicity! Do something like Louis! He's all over the world with his engagement!" Was that the reason he proposed to Eleanor? Liam questioned in his head.

"...Zayn has it all in the palm of his hand now that he and Perrie have become a power couple. Niall is making headlines by talking about his 'Princess', all the girls are going crazy trying to be his description of his 'Princess'. Even Harry is making headlines with his rumored girlfriend- what's-her-face?!"

"Claudia?"

"Yeah! Are they actually a thing?" Simon himself seem interested. Why is everybody interested in Harry's love life?! Liam thought annoyed.

"It's complicated." That was the only word that could describe the situation.

"Fine, don't tell me. My point is you need to get more publicity." Liam had just come to the recording studio to pour out his feelings into music and be left alone. Now he was ordered by his boss to be more social. What's not social about recording by yourself in the studio for eight days?

"Well what'd you want me to do? Post nude pics on Instagram?!" That was the first stupid idea that popped up in his head.

"No, of course not! Well...actually that's not a bad idea-"

"I'm not posting nude pics on my social media!" Liam firmly stated.

"Well, okay. But you have to do something! Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"I didn't think so either. Go out there and get yourself a girl!" Simon had been sitting down on another chair facing Liam. When he told him that he started getting up.

Simon left but Liam just stayed sit.

A girl?

That would mean me moving on.

That's exactly what I need!

Good bye Claudia!

Liam sported a grin on his face as he got up and packed up his things before locking up the studio and leaving.

"Welcome to Huggamug Cafe, what can I get you?" A petite blonde with an American accent welcomed Liam.
