Chapter 1

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Addison's new Childrens range preview,'' i shook the nerves out as i clutched the micphone.

''Today, we'll be sampling and showing off some of our new products,'' Lauren shot a look at me, we we're both as nervous as each other!

''So feel free to try and sample the products,'' i closed up the speech quickly before i could make any mistakes. The crowd clapped and placed the micphone on the stand. i headed for the stairs.

''Good job bub,'' Lauren patted my back as we exited the stage.

''Worst thing about owning a company!'' i laughed softly.

''Yeah i know hey!'' Lauren nugded my arm lightly.

'' Sorry to interupt, but can you buy this line in England by any chance?'' A nice man with brown coloured hair asked me holding hands with a little girl with tight curly brown hair.

''Um... yes sure, but it's new so i can check when it will available,'' i smiled.

''Dad, your so embarrassing!'' the girl huffed.

''Sorry love, had to check,'' he patted her back.

''Is it for your daughter of someone else,'' i asked.

''No, no, for my daughter,'' he replied, he was embarrased and i could tell.

''Hello, I'm tess what is your name?'' i knelt down beside her.

''I'm Honor,'' she answered with her fingers in her mouth. She was shy.

''How old are you Honor?'' i shook her hand lightly.

''I'm 6, but i'll be 7 really soon!'' her face lit up instanly.

''Oh when?'' i kept the conversation going.

''In like... um... daddy, when is my birthday going to be, i know it's soon, but i don't know days or weeks, sorry,'' she had a confused look on her face.

''3 weeks and 6 days,'' he smiled down on her.

''Awesome, i'm 30 in 1 month,'' i smiled again.

''I'm Liam Payne, just by the way,'' Liam put his hand out to shake.

''Well i'm Tess Proudman, but i think you already know that!'' I laughed nervously.

''Aw, i'm just guessing that you're not from New york? Just from your accent,'' he gave me a half smile which was kind of cute.

''I'm from Australia firstly, but i lived and schooled in London for about 9 years of so,''

''Really? how did you end up here in New York?''

''Me and Lauren, my best friend, Decided to start a company here, and we did our university stuff in England though,''

''Aha, another sort of brit here!'' he laughed.

''Yeah, i guess, are you from England?''

''Yes, me and Honor, we just moved over here 2 weeks ago,''

''Really? you don't seem that fresh, why did you move over here?''

''Well my wife, Danielle, died 4 years ago, Honor's mum,'' his face frowned.

''I'm really sorry, i didn't mean too!''

''No don't worry, forget it,''

''I'm bad when it comes to mistakes! if you didn't already pick!''
