The Eternal Rose-Forever and Always.

Chapter 31 - Part 2

| The Next Day |

I decide to dress in blue denim shorts ,white shirt and shoes. Rather than my usual straight skirts.

I search for Charlie everywhere. He is late. Its 10:00 a.m.

Seriously? Since when bosses have started coming late?

As I make my way towards his cabin, I hear footsteps. I turn to look who the person his and I find Charlie.

"Morning Crystal." He says with his usual smile.

"Bosses aren't suppose to be late, right?"

He laughs and I frown. "Well, I was in the washroom. You see, I have a bad stomach."

"Ew." I say in disgust.

"You look lovely today" He winks.

Not many people are lucky enough to get a hot boss. Urgh. Gosh! What is wrong with me?

"Thank you." I reply, shyly.

"So, are we all ready for today's interview?" He asks.

"I guess we are. When are they coming by the way?"

"They must get here by 11:30 p.m."

"And when is Charlotte coming?"

"She'll be here by 11:00 p.m."

"Cool. I'll go and check on the photographers." I say and make my way towards the studio.

How awkward this is going to be? God. I really have no idea. I can't face Harry. 1 year 6 months, it has been.

. . .
. . .

Charlotte is finally here. As usual, she looks beautiful. She is dressed in a black dress. A complicated dress, I'd not be able to pull off, yet she manages to look pretty.

It's almost 11:30 p.m. They'll be here any minute.

I am nervous. I don't know for what.

"Crystal!" Someone shouts.

"Yeah?" I say and see Charlie coming with a bunch of people.

Oh no. He is with One Direction. Oh on. No no no. Hey. You're strong. Come on you can do this. My subconscious tells me.

"Guys, this is Crystal, I assume you have met her before." Charlie says. This is weird. As I look up my eyes meet Harry's. Shit.

"Yes, we have." They all say together.

"Crystal lead them to the studio. The interview will start at 12. I'll go and make sure everything is fine with Charlotte. " He says and leaves.

Leaves me alone to die. God this is such a mess. Completely weird.

"You guys, follow me." I say politely, just like a whisper.

Studio is across the cabins. So it takes at least 5 minutes to reach there if you walk like a turtle, like I am now.

"So, how are you Crystal?" Niall breaks the silence.

As I am the only one walking in front I turn back to answer him "Fine. You?"

"Very well." He says and I smile back to him.

Finally, we reach the studio. I show the boys their seats.
