Unexpected
Chapter 8
Charlie’s POV:
4 Days later
The past four days had been such a whirlwind. After meeting the boys on Friday and given only the weekend to pack up what I needed for an almost two-month long tour, I could already feel the stress simmering in my body. We’d be starting out with performances in numerous cities in the UK and Ireland. And after about three weeks of stadium concerts, the band would be heading to the United States for shows in New York City, Miami, Las Vegas and ending in Los Angeles.
While in the US, the band has numerous publicity events planned that range from interviews to radio shows and special performances on Saturday Night Live and Good Morning America. From what Jeremy had discussed with me on the phone when he called yesterday,
I found out that the boys have been hard at work writing their third album. The concerts and publicity in the US are meant to reveal the news about the new album and get fans excited.
As soon as the tour ends, the guys will jump right into recording their new songs and hopefully have the album out before next summer. Just thinking about these next few weeks has me so nervous yet thrilled. Never in a million years did I think I was going to be touring with a world famous pop band.
My nerves about meeting the boys had quickly faded after that one afternoon. I felt so relieved when they welcomed me with open arms, even though I hadn’t a clue who they were five days ago. Niall, Zayn, Liam and Louis had all given me their cell numbers in case I needed any help getting my stuff to the bus. Zayn had even been texting me back and forth for the past couple of days about silly things. I knew I wasn’t permitted to become involved with any of them, but it wasn’t against the rules to have a crush!
The only person I didn’t get a number from was Harry and I was completely fine with that. After how he had left things when we first met, I wanted to stay as far away as possible from him. But as much as I tried to forget, I still couldn’t shake the feeling I get in my stomach when I think about how he pulled me in so close to him and whispered in my ear.
I will have you. And you will love every second of it.
I started to feel a tingle below my bellybutton as I thought of the way his curly hair brushed against my temple. How tantalizing the smell of his cologne was when his neck was so close to mine. He was so sexy and the worst part about it was that he KNEW just how sexy he was. I had to keep reminding myself to keep my guard up around him because I didn’t want him trying to seduce me on the job. I worked too damn hard to lose this position because some sex god wanted to add me to his list of women he’s slept with.
I steered clear of him all weekend, but that didn’t stop him from trying to contact me. Apparently he got my number out of Louis’ phone and didn’t waste any time texting me lewd comments.
Unknown #: Hello, love. Can’t wait to see you on Monday. Make sure you wear something sexy to the bus, preferably a shirt that shows off your breasts. I haven’t got a chance to meet them yet ;) Xxx
Even though the caller ID said Unknown #, it didn’t take an idiot to know exactly who the message came from. I texted him back a kind, “Go to hell” but it only made matters worse because he replied with, “Mmmm, I like ‘em feisty. Makes the chase that much more fun.”
I just couldn’t win with him.
I finished packing up the rest of my belongings in my matching cheetah luggage my mom had given to me as a present for getting my new job. I went to change from my ratty t-shirt and running shorts into the outfit I picked to wear on my first day as an assistant. Once I finished getting dressed, I started to zip the final bag up and heard the front door open.
“CC? You still home?” [CC was a nickname Emma gave me]
“In my room!”
The door opened up and I turned to see the tall blonde standing in the doorway. Emma, my roommate and new best friend, was someone who could walk into a room and make every head turn. When I say she is gorgeous, I mean every single letter in that word. The girl was flawless.
Long slender legs, tanned by the sun, were attached to a torso that every girl dreams to have. Because she was a professional model, Emma was required to keep her body in perfect shape all year round. Her stomach was as flat as the plains of Nebraska and her hips bones jutted out just slightly without looking anorexic.
I’m not one to comment on a woman’s breasts, but Emma did have a very nice rack. They were perky and stayed in place; both things I wished my boobs would do. Her long arms fell parallel to her upper thighs and her collarbones delicately protruded out from below her neck.
Although she was slender, Emma still managed to have curvy hips and a decently large backside. She always joked and asked me if she could surgically remove some of my butt and give it to her because mine was so big.
If Emma’s perfect body wasn’t enough, her face could cause a traffic jam. Her strong jawbone cast a shadow on her neck while beautiful cheekbones extended slightly from her face. She had the perfect nose; small and slender, just like her figure. Big, stunning blue eyes pierced mine and were accented by a luscious amount of dark eyelashes.
Her mouth was dainty but her lips were full and covered her perfectly white teeth. Her skin didn’t have a single blemish or freckle on it, except for a beauty mark located right above her upper lip on the right side of her face.
I laughed quietly when I noticed that her hair now reminded me of Niall’s hair the first day I met him. She had naturally curly blonde hair that ended just above her chest. I loved when she would let it air dry because the curls would become very fluffy and frame her face.
She was wearing a regular Emma outfit after her long day at a photo shoot. The crop top showed off her tanned stomach while the high rise jean shorts accentuated her delicate curves. Black high tops adorned her feet and she was wearing the new Fossil watch her family bought her for her birthday last month. Her hair was cascading down her back in loose beachy waves and she still had a little bit of makeup left on from the shoot this morning.
“Hi! You all packed up for the trip?” I scanned my room at the huge suitcase and large tote I had crammed all my stuff in.
“Yep! I think I got everything! Want to help me take it to the car?” She nodded and grabbed my tote as I stood my suite case up and started rolling it to the doorway.
“So, your nerves kicking in yet?” I thought for a second about my response and gave her an honest answer.
“A little. It’s just intimidating, you know? I mean, they’re the biggest boy band in the entire world, Em. Not just the UK! The world. I just hope I don’t screw up.” She popped open the trunk of her car and help me lift my suitcase in before placing the tote next to it.
“CC, for the three months that I have known you, I can honestly say that I don’t think you are even capable of making mistakes. You’re going to do great! You just have to give yourself some credit.”
I shrugged my shoulders and stared at my shoes. “Thanks, hopefully I can just catch on quickly and not have to worry about someone babysitting me the entire time.” Emma smiled and nodded, wrapping me in a huge hug before fake-crying into my shoulder.
“I-I just don’t know w-what I’m going to d-do without m-m-my best friend for two whole m-months!” I laughed and pushed her away and she giggled while she pulled her keys out of her pocket.
“Maybe you could fly out to meet me in the States? I know you said you always wanted to go there!” She perked up at the idea and I could see her mind racing at maximum speed.
“Oh my gosh! I would absolutely die!!” She squealed in her seat and shook her hair around, hitting me in the face during the process.
We started driving to the address Jeremy gave me to meet up with the crew and pack the buses up for the trip. I spent most of the time looking out the window at the scenery quickly passing by. It wasn’t until Emma spoke up that I realized we were almost at the destination.
“So, I have to ask. Are you worried at all about…you know…” She peered over at me cautiously, making sure she didn’t upset me with her question.
“Who? Harry?”
“Well, yeah. I mean, that text he sent you was rather suggestive. Are you going to do anything about it?” I could feel a few butterflies rising in my stomach, but I quickly dismissed them as I shook my head.
“Em, I can’t doing anything about it, remember? It’s in my contract. I don’t want to lose this job because of some stupid boy.” She gawked at me after I finished.
“HEY. Harry Styles is not just some stupid boy. He’s HOT. And funny. And did I mention HOT? Can’t you just have one single night with him? Just jump him and have hot, animal sex with Harry Styles? For me? Pleeeease?” She shot me a look of desperation and pouted as she finished her rant.
I chuckled and silently asked myself how I had never heard Emma talk about him in the last three months of me being here. I guess if I had ever heard her talk about him, I must’ve thought he was just another one of her random boyfriends. Not that Emma was someone who slept around a lot, she just tended to go through boyfriends pretty quickly, like how I went through a pint of Ben and Jerry’s while on my period.
“As much as I can see that you really want it to happen, it’s not. Jeremy was extremely clear with his thoughts on getting involved with any of them. Besides, Harry was such a jerk the last time I saw him. I wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole. Now Zayn on the other hand, I definitely have a grown to like. He’s so gorgeous and sweet. I’m definitely going to be spending a lot of time with him.” I turned and looked at her face and was surprised to see her smirking at me.
“Whatever you say, boss. Just make sure I’m the first one you call when you lose your V-card to Mr. Styles.” I gasped and smacked her arm as she laughed at my reaction. Yes, being a virgin at this age wasn’t something I had planned to happen. But I just never found the right person to share it with. I thought Eric was going to be my first, until I discovered that my bed wasn’t the only one he’d been sleeping in, so to speak. I was so heartbroken that I couldn’t even think about having sex with anyone for a very long time. And even if it was already a couple months away from being a year since I found out, it still weighed extremely heavy on my heart.
But I couldn’t think of the past now, because I was on my way to start my future. My excitement had finally overcome my anxiety as we pulled up to the parking lot and I began to unpack my bags from the back. I noticed my shoe had come untied and as I went to bend down and tie it as I felt a familiar presence come up from behind me. A deep, raspy voice spoke and I instantly felt goose bumps forming all over my body.
“Hello, gorgeous.”
