Danielle's Return
Dear Liam,
Well if you're pathetic, I'm pathetic babe. I stayed up until 1 just thinking about you. I'm missing you like crazy.
I love the tattoo! It's awesome. Make sure it doesn't get infected like last time okay? Don't need you asking Niall to sensually rub the ointment on you like I did :P
Hope things go well with Danielle. Actually, not TOO well ;) Just try to be professional and don't talk to her unless its needed. Hopefully that will make the process painless.
The gallery is amazing. Me and my roommate Keys (another artist in the exhibit who is with me in that interview I’m in) broke into it and peeked around before it opened. BUT in my defense I did not know we were breaking in. Keys somehow had a key and then the son of the gallery owner (his name is Markus and happens to be head of security) found us. Luckily Keys had ID so we were safe.
Look at that! You boys aren't the only bad influences in my life.
I can't stop listening to the new album. It's on constant repeat while I'm sketching or painting. Great job, li. I'm really proud of you.
I miss having you in my bed. And before you think something sexual like I know you will, NO that's not what I mean. It takes me twice as long to fall asleep without you with me.
Love you!
Kendall
Ugh, I read this in the morning already sporting my "friend" and Kendall implying sexual stuff is NOT helping.
I love Kendall. That will not change. But as much as she jokes, we haven't actually had sex yet.
We were close to doing it twice. The first is when she pulled away and said that there's no 100% way to have sex without getting pregnant. And she's not risking it again. Even though I had some pretty blue balls, I respected her enough to stop.
The second time I stopped her. She was heartbroken and emotional that she hadn’t heard back from the Dupree guy so she thought she wouldn't even bother being an artist anymore and now her career wouldn't get in the way even if she did get pregnant. I couldn't do that with her in that state, so I said we'd wait one more week.
And the next day he got back and said he was very impressed and she was in.
Life huh?
After I took care of my "problem", I got dressed in my basketball shorts and an old workout t-shirt.
Danielle actually didn’t show up yesterday because her flight got delayed and she wasn't able to get her until last night.
Which was a relief to all.
All the boys and girls in our group were PISSED when they heard what they were doing to me for the sake of publicity. But we all agreed because this is what we love, and we'd do it anyway we could. But we did complain. And Niall even got a tattoo in protest. (It's a barcode tattoo on his left bicep of the Up All Night CD). He also got it because he wanted to, but said it was "perfect timing to piss management off, don't ya think?"
We step onto the stage. El and Perrie are sitting off to the side with Pebbles and the rest of Little Mix. LM are pretty much the best dancers we've ever seen so they only work once a week for three hours because they grasp it easier than we do.
And we have to dance 4-5 hours every weekday.
Fuck.
The boys and I are talking about the game last night when the door opens.
Danielle.
Her hair has little blonde bits in it now (fictional) and she's managed to get curvier.
Dammit Liam DON’T notice that.
"Hey boys. Long time no see." Danielle says as she struts over. She's wearing yoga pants and a sports bra. Not that I noticed.
"Yeah I wonder why." Niall rolls his eyes. Unintentionally, the boys move in front of me. It's like having even more bodyguards.
"I know." Her demeanor suddenly changes. She looks sad now. "Liam, I never really got to apologize for cheating on you. So I'm sorry."
"Thanks." I say, trying not to sound stupid or anything. I haven't seen her in over a year and a half. And the last time I did it was looking at her like she was the love of my life.
And the love of my life was bare-naked and riding some random dude like he was a mechanical bull.
I suddenly notice my fists are clenched tight. I force myself to relax.
"Okay then. Girls!" Danielle calls over to the dancers. There are only four of them.
Most of them are the snobby kind. The only nice one is Carys. Luckily, the other dancers leave as soon as rehearsals are over and then our favorite sticks around.
"Where's Elaina?" Her Royal Bitch asks.
"She quit yesterday." The blonde one, Marilyn, says like she couldn't care less. "Something about not being able to work for an unprofessional slob." In obvious reference to Danielle.
At that, Louis snorts. And doesn't even bother to hide it. She sends a glare his way but he just gives her his "bitch please" face.
Which is why he's one of my best friends.
"Fine. New dancing partners then. Carys, you're with Harry. Twyla, Zayn. Louis, Marilyn. Niall, Dana. Liam, you're with me."
She advances but I quickly take a step back. "No way I'm dancing with you."
Danielle sighs, exasperated. "FINE. Whatever. Be that way. I'm with Niall then. Dana, you're with Li."
I'm about to tell her that she can't call me that but then she says, “Okay everyone, let’s get started with ‘Heart Attack’.”
After the dancing, all of us boys are dripping with sweat. I decide to call up K because I missed her while we all lay across the stage. Even though Danielle's off to the side on her phone.
“Hello?” Her sleepy voice whispers.
“Hey! You asleep?”
“Not anymore.” I can hear her smirking,
“Sorry.”
“No, it’s okay. I missed you. Just let me get out of the room so I don’t wake up Keys.”
As I hear a door open then close gently, I decide to say. “When we Skype this Saturday you should bring her on, I’d love to meet her.”
“Okay I will. And you bring Niall. I miss that weirdo and Keys apparently has a celeb crush on him.”
“Oh em gee.” I mock. She giggles tiredly.
“Is that Kendall?” El asks, walking over. Everyone perks up, even though 9/10 of us are exhausted and dripping with sweat.
“Kendall!” Everyone yells.
I put her on speaker. “Damn right! I miss you guys! How are you?”
We all say, “Tired.”
“Same. It’s like 3 here.”
“Liam! Don’t wake up your girlfriend just because you’re horny.” Zayn berates me. Kendall laughs.
“Hey! I called because I missed her!”
“Suuuuurrreeeee you did.” Louis and Harry say at the same time.
“Shut up and let me talk to my girlfriend!”
“No, let her sleep!” Niall shoves me.
“Are you tired, K?”
“I am but I’ll talk.”
“No, we’ll talk this weekend. I’ll let you sleep.” At that moment, Danielle decides to walk in.
“You’re the bestest. Night, Li! Love you! Night, guys! ”
“Night, Kendall!”
When we hang up, Danielle comes over. “Was that the girlfriend I’ve heard so much about it?”
“Yep.” I say as pointed as possible.
“Isn’t she American or something?” She raises an eyebrow.
“Yep.” Eleanor says. It makes me kinda sad since El and Danielle used to be best friends but when she cheated on me, all the girls decided to sever ties with her. Which was really supportive, but it was pretty hard for her.
“Carys,” Danielle turns her attention from us to Carys, who is stretching in the splits. I’ve discovered that Harry takes off his shirt to impress her and Carys does splits to impress him.
“Hmm?” Carys looks up.
“We need to choreograph. Come on.” Danielle beckons her hastily with her fingers.
Carys and Harry share a look but then she leaves us. Then it’s only the 10 of us.
“What a bitch.” Louis shakes his head.
Well if you're pathetic, I'm pathetic babe. I stayed up until 1 just thinking about you. I'm missing you like crazy.
