Ryan's P.O.V
"I'm here for the job offer on, photography." A woman with dark hair and glasses looked up smiling, her red lipstick bleeding into the wrinkles on her lips. She typed on her computer and picked up her phone.

"Mr.Tomlinson, you have a young woman asking for the opening in the photography field," I watched as she tapped her store bought faux nails on the counter, glue stains surrounded her nail beds, "you may go up to Mr.Tomlinson's office level 8 room 812."

I thanked her walking over to the elevator, someone called for me to hold the door and I quickly stooped the elevator doors. It was a guy around my age, blonde messy hair and blue eyes caught my eye.

His arms were flooded with rolls of papers and folders. "Designs for the clothing line, I work in design as you can see and I probably need to stop talking." the guy laughed somewhat holding his hand out.

"I'm Niall." I shook it making sure nothing fell.

"Ryan, I'm new here." He nodded as the elevator opened to the eighth floor.
I walked out with niall right behind me, almost as if he was following me.

"You looking for Tomlinson's room."
I nodded watching him as he dropped the papers on a desk that had millions of designs just like it. Niall waved over to me knocking on the door right next to his office.

I heard laughing and squeals in the room, Niall huffed and opened the door. Revealing a man in a dark suit holding a woman with a red dress, the man being Mr.Tomlinson had perfect features. His cheekbones could slice my finger by just one touch.

His hair was gelled up, and stood prominently on his head. The woman on his lap had dark curls that went down her back and two dimples in her cheeks.

"Louis, erm Lou....LOUIS TOMLINSON," Niall yelled over the laughing and talking, they clearly had no idea we were standing there, "your new photography employee is here."

The woman jumped off of Louis' lap and rushed over to me shaking my hand and saying things so fast I couldn't comprehend. "HiYoumustbethenewphotogirl,imsohappythatyourherebecauseourlastphotographerwasterrible...byterribleImeanthe ABSOLUTE WOR-"

"RILEY!" Louis and Niall screamed in unison. She giggled and shook my hand, quickly running back to Louis kissing his cheek and grabbing her papers leaving the room with Niall.

"Sorry about that love," I waved it off
"So as you know, you'll be working with Riley and the work that you'll be doing is very...I dont want to say hard but hard." Mr.Tomlinson handed me a packet calling Riley back in.

"Now you may take her love," Riley squealed and grabbed my arm, "hey don't break her and 7:00 tonight right."
Riley nodded and pulled me out of Mr.Tomlinson's office.

"Oh my god you're going to love it here, it's every photographers dream to even step foot in here, Lou's Grandfather owned this place, you'll just love it."
Riley took me into a room with a white background.

"This is where the magic happens,"
Niall ran down with another armful of designs, "girls are you ready for the practice run!" Wait what.

Practice run, I just got here I'm not ready for a practice run. the models walked out and Riley lead me to the large camera, letting me do my best work.

God I was so nervous, I got through the first model all the way down to the last. A guy walked in with a large painting and paint splatters on his shirt. Oh my fucking God he was attractive.

"I finished the art, for the next six issues." Riley playfully punched his arm laughing.

"Overachiever I only asked for two!" she shook her head as he put the down on the table. Eyes traveling over to me, he asked Riley about me. She spun around and told him, he took his lip in between his teeth and I almost fell over.

"Ryan, come over," oh god. I slowly waltzed over and looked anywhere but at him, "This is Zayn, Zayn this is Ryan I'm just going to say he wanted to know if you were going to come out tonight at 7 with us?"

Zayn almost chocked on his water coughing a few times, staring at Riley in shock. "You really should come, Harry makes the best fajitas in the world and Riley makes the best store bought tacos." Riley scoffed and pushed him laughing.

"Sure, I'll defiantly think about i-"
Riley gasped really loud and stared at me.

"No your coming I'll drive you myself, it's the best night you'll ever have trust me." I nodded and smiled looking down at my feet. Riley hugged me and told me she was happy I'm here.

"Someone to keep me sane, blondie isn't doing a great job," Niall yelled across the room, "I'm kidding you softie."

"I'll definitely come, Thank you."
