On The Cross

“Am I in trouble?” I asked Harry nervously as I jumped into his car. He laughed, “why would you think you’re in trouble?” “Common, management hardly ever want to even talk to you guys let alone one of your girlfriends…. What have I done? Was it the video…I didn’t think it was that bad?” I started to panic….what if they said I was a bad influence and I’m not allowed to see the guys again? Harry suddenly laughed “you a bad influence? Really? If anything we are the bad influence….stop panicking babe it will be fine, I’m sure it’s nothing” I didn’t mean to say that out loud, but he is right they are more likely the bad influence not me….I hope management see it like that though.

Harry led me into the large building in the middle of London; apparently this was the headquarters of Syco. “Good morning….Miss Lawson, Mr Jones is waiting for you in his office, he wants to talk to you alone” the tall blonde sitting behind reception said fluttering her eyelashes at Harry…shame she didn’t look at me at all when she spoke, god have some pride, don’t flirt with my boyfriend when I’m bloody standing there! Harry stayed in the reception while I went down the corridor to see Mr Jones, I hope he’s nice!

I knocked on the large wooden door “come in!” shouted the deep voice, here I go to my doom I thought as I slowly opened the door. “Ahh Miss Lawson, do come in…don’t be nervous sit, sit” a tall slim man with dark hair and freckled skin said eagerly, gesturing to the large leather sofa in the corner of the room. I sat down carefully, “ok Miss Lawson….may I call you Holly?” I nodded, “great…ok Holly, I’m not going to beat around the bush, I’m going to get straight to it….” it didn’t sound like he was going to get straight to it I thought trying to not looked worried. “….the video and picture that was leaked the other day was not great, we had to do some serious PR to think of a good reason to why you would be dancing like that and wearing that….we told the media that you were teaching a dance class….” “I was teaching a dance class!” I interrupted, “…well we just cleared it up then, don’t want people to think the worst do we?” think the worst? what the fuck were people thinking? “Even though the video was not to our taste…..we did really like your dancing, and the fans seem to love you….” I finally breathed, ok so I’m guessing the insults have stopped? “We want to offer you a job…” “I already have a job” I interrupted, “yes well…we want to offer you a job as a backing dancer for the One Direction tour” was he serious? “One Direction don’t dance” I said, why would they need a backing dancer? “no your right they don’t, but their opening act Little Mix do, I’m assuming you have heard of them?” he asked, I don’t live under a rock, plus Perrie is Zayn’s fiancé so we have already met. I nodded “ok great, well Little Mix have several backing dancers during their sets, we want you to choreograph dance routines for their songs and take the lead as one of their backing dancers, if you accept the job you will be paid highly and will be expected to spend the whole tour with us. So what do you say?” he asked, wow I wasn’t expecting this. I was kind of expecting a slap on the wrist for video and picture and then being sent on my way…I certainly was not expecting a job offer.

“Um I don’t know, it’s a great offer….can I think about it?” I asked, ok I know what you’re thinking…what’s there to think about? It’s a perfect excuse to go on tour with the guys…I’m stubborn I guess. “Yes of course you can think about it…..but we need an answer by this Friday.” He said, great I have two days to decide! Mr Jones escorted me out and thanked me for coming “I expect to be hearing from you soon Miss Lawson….with good news I hope”. Harry looked at me funny as he heard, “what was that all about?” “he offered me a job as a dancer and choreographer on your tour” I said as we headed out of the building, “that’s great!” Harry said excitedly, “I haven’t said yes yet” “why not?” Harry asked confused. “I don’t know, he laid it on me suddenly I wasn’t expecting a job offer…I want to go on tour with you guys I really do, and this job thing is a great excuse, but who would look after my studio? I don’t want to let my students down” Harry just laughed, “you are always thinking of other people before yourself…what do you want?” he asked, “I don’t know, I do want to go on tour with you all…I need to think about it, it’s a long commitment, it’s not a few weeks its several months” I said, “well as soon as you decide I want to be the first to know…then I can organise for you to be staying in the bus with us” he said excitedly.
