Chapter 29:  Sucking face seals the deal

Back at the One Direction Lair

*Liam's POV*

"Who's brilliant idea was it to drink so much last night," I groaned.

"You should've taken it easy mate.  You're new at this whole alcohol thing.  You don't know your limits yet," Louis laughed.

"Do you have to be so goddamned loud?" I said gripping my pounding head.

"Next time leave the drinking to the pros," Ollie said without a hint of a hangover.

"Don't worry baby, I feel as miserable as you do," Holland said, coming up behind me and engulfing me in a warm hug.

"How are we going to get through this interview in one piece," Harry asked miserably.  He had dark circles under his eyes from staying out so late.

"Thank God for stylists," Niall said, knowing that he too looked like shit.

"How long do we have till we have to leave?" Charlie asked to no one in particular.

"About an hour," Lou said simply while taking a sip of his morning tea.  "But we have bigger problems on our hands," he said placing his cup down on the counter.

"Can't we just have one drama free day?  Just ONE?!" Ollie asked grumpily.

"Apparently not," I said, plopping a tabloid down on the table next to Louis' cup. 

On the front cover was a picture of Zayn, soaking wet and wearing nothing but his boxers.  To make matters worse, he had his arm draped around an equally drenched redhead wearing nothing but lacy black underwear and a matching bra.  The photos had been snapped of them leaving Club Aquarium together last night.  Where they had gone from there or what they had done, none of us knew.

"I KNEW she was bad news when I met her," Lou groaned.  "Eleanor thought so too."

"You knew about this?!" I shouted, but immediately regretted it because of the throbbing in my head.

"Perrie is going to murder him," Niall whispered dramatically, his eyes wide with fear.

"And rightfully so!" Ollie snapped.  "And for future reference Harry, if I ever catch you pulling shit like that, I'll cut off your balls and use them for earrings!"

"Gross," Charlie said sticking out her tongue.

"How'd I get brought into this?  I did nothing!" Harry cried throwing his hands up in innocence.

"Well, keep it that way," Ollie said as she leaned in and kissed his cheek to make up for her outburst.

"So I guess the big question is, where's Zayn?" Holland asked.

"Hopefully he'll show up and get ready before it's time to leave, but until then, we need to get ourselves ready," Louis said very maturly, finishing his cup of tea, and then heading off to his room to prepare for the interview.

-The Interview-

*Niall's POV*

Man is Zayn in deep shit.  He never showed up this morning.  We tried calling him and it went straight to voicemail.  I must've heard "Vas Happennnnnin?" about a million times when I tried calling him.  He really needs to change his damn answer tone.

I have no fucking clue what we're going to say about Zayn's absence and it doesn't look like we'll have any time to come up with an excuse either because the interviewer is already sitting down in front of us with a stack load of papers and questions for us.

"Morning guys and girls!" the chipper interviewer greeted us.

We all responded with a variety of hi's 'ello's and mornin's.

"Is it just me or are we short a Directioner?" the man said with a quizical look on his face.

Every single one of us pailed.

Liam was quick on his feet though and replied with "Zayn had a friend come in from out of town last night and wanted to spend some extra time with 'em so you'll just have to settle with us today," he said with a weak smile.

The man seemed satisfied with the answer and I let out an audible sigh.  If Simon didn't kill Zayn when he found out about this whole mess, I would.

"So, what's new on the One Direction front?" the peppy interviewer questioned.  I think his name was Rusty.

"Well, the tour with Little Louder Now is back on track and we're so excited to get out on the road!" Louis exclaimed.

"Yeah, Simon Cowell signed on to manage them and we're now a huge team," I said excitedly.

"It's a total dream.  We get to go on tour with some of the hottest lads on the planet," Charlie gushed.

"Is there romance in the air?" Rusty inquired suggestively.

"We are happy to announce that all of us guys in One Direction are taken," Harry said with glee.

"All of you?!  I think I just heard millions of hearts break all around the world lads," Rusty said, dramatically, placing his hand over his heart and pretending to almost pass out.  "So who are you boys going out with?"

"Well, I'm still with Eleanor," Lou gloated, "the best and most beautiful girl to ever grace this earth!"

I just grabbed Charlie's hand and held it up high so that Rusty and the camera could see it as proof of my relationship.  Finally I could say I had someone and didn't feel bad when they asked these stupid relationship questions.  "We're together!" Charlie beamed and kissed my bright pink cheek.  My cheeks hurt from smiling so widely.

"Holland and I just got together," Liam said with pride.  "I couldn't be happier."

"I thought you were with Danielle Peazer?" Rusty said with confusion.

Liam's face dropped.  "No.  That ended about two months ago but we didn't announce it publically because we didn't want anyone to recieve bad press.  I am now in a  great relationship with my grilfriend Holls here," he said rubbing her back as she smiled.

"And you Harry?  Can we assume you are with Olivia?" he said knowingly.  "We all saw her sing to you on that sugarscape interview."

"What you didn't see on the sugarscape clip was this," he said as he leaned over to a surprised looking Olivia.  He ran his knuckles gently down the side of her face and then took his hand and placed it behind her neck, cradling her head.  He drew her face closer to his and crashed his lips into hers furiously.  This was no PG kiss.  There was tongue, slurping sounds, and moaning from each of them.

"Eh hem," Rusty interrupted.  They continued snogging.  "EH HEM!" he protested more loudly.

The two lovers finally broke apart.  "Sorry.  I can't help but get carried away when I'm around my sexy girlfriend," Harry said nonchalantly.

Ollie just looked completely lost and flustered.

"So I take that as a definite yes that Harry and Olivia are official," Rusty laughed uncomfortably.

"I'd say sucking face pretty much seals the deal," Lou joked.

"So Nathan Sykes is out of the picture Olivia?"

"Nathan Sykes was never IN the picture," Ols answered haughtily.

Rusty got the hint and quickly moved on to the next topic.  Unfortunately for us, it was Zayn.

"And what about Zayn?  Who's his lucky lady?"

No one answered so I guess I'd have to field this question as best as I could.

"Still Perry," I said, "as far as I know," I added under my breath, hoping no one heard me.
