“Rise and shine” Linda sang, pulling open the curtains, blinding Niall with sunlight.

“Linda, go away” Niall groaned into the pillow.

“Your father doesn’t want you in bed all day, its time to get up”

“Urgh, fine!” He rolled his eyes. “Is Maddison here yet?”

“Niall leave her alone, she needs this job a lot more than the other staff. She didn’t take it to get close to you okay” With that Linda left. Another groan escaped Niall’s tired lips as he pulled himself out of bed. The heat in the room was unbearable. As Niall opened the window, letting the air in, he saw Maddie walking up to the front door. Immediately he ran down the stairs, to find her already in the kitchen alone. She was setting her things on the table, facing the opposite way to the door when Niall entered. He snaked his strong arms around her petite waist, his nostrils filled with her perfume, DKNY. Maddie jumped at his surprised touch. Quickly she untangled herself from his loose grasp, turning to face the blond boy. She wanted to stay in his arms but couldn’t show him that. She couldn’t let him win.

“Morning” His smug grin was back.

“Niall” She nodded, trying to avoid eye contact.

“How would you feel about working late tonight?” He asked, pulling up a stool at the breakfast bar in the centre of the kitchen.

“This isn’t another offer to sleep with you, Niall is it?”

“It can if you want it to be” He flirted. “But it’ll have to be after the party Im throwing tonight. Im going to need you to work.”

“And do what exactly?” Maddison questioned, her eyebrows bending in, in confusion.

“Just get drinks for people when they need them and clean after them.” He explained putting both hands together. “Then maybe, me and you can have our own little party” Niall added licking his lips.

“Yeh maybe not the last part” She disagreed but Niall was quick with his reply.

“I’ll let you think about it, I know you have been recently. I see the way you look at me” With that he left. Stop it Maddie, stop looking at him all together! Hes not backing down and you’re close to giving in. You’ve seen the girls that walk out of here with false hope and you’re not one of them! As soon as the party starts he’ll find someone else to bother. The voice in her head was back.

“Maddie! Maddison!” Niall called from the top of the stairs just before the party started.

“Yes?” She replied.

“Come here I got you something” He smirked, pulling her into his room.

“Niall-“ She began before he put his fingers on her soft lips.

“Go in there and put this on for the party” He nudged her towards the bathroom door handing her a bag. “Go” He repeated seeing the hesitation in her steps. Doing as she was told, she left. Niall sat on his bed waiting patiently pulling out his iPhone from his dark blue jeans that went well with his red polo and red supras. He topped his outfit out with a plain snapback.

“You have got to be kidding me” His eyes darted up from his phone when he heard Maddie’s voice.

“You like divine”

“I look like a slut, Niall” She protested, wearing the shortest maid outfit he bought for her.

“Babe, you look hot” He coughed trying to keep his eyes off her as he stood up from the bed.

“Im not your ‘Babe’” Maddie disagreed, pulling the hem of the dress down a bit.

“But you are my little maid. Come on people have started arriving” He grinned before pulling her down the stairs.

Within an hour everyone who was invited was there. And also either drunk or tipsy already. Maddie’s job was to clean up after everyone but not to get hit on by Niall’s drunken friends. They’d use clique pick up lines and gulp another mouthful of alcohol. As soon as Maddie declined there offers they’d find an easier target whose blood was already drowning in alcohol. Every now and then Maddie would glance at the clock, only to see the hands had changed by 5 or 10 minutes. She just wanted to get home and look after Lewis, Isabel and Poppy. The whole reason of this job is to give them the childhood they deserve after all.

After another hour of cleaning up only for them to mess it up again, Maddie decided to check outside. Niall was one of the many people hanging by the pool. She was too busy placing the empty bottles of beer into a bag to notice his face light up. Get over yourself Niall, look at her shes so not interested. There is plenty of other girls here falling at your feet, get up and flirt with them, shes too much effort. And that’s what he did. He called one of the girls over, chatted her up for a few seconds before their lips were attached. Although he felt nothing, no spark what so ever, just a quick fling.
