Strictly Professional.

“Penny, where have you been!?” Lou’s voice called loudly as the girl entered the room, she sounded a bit frantic. “First we couldn’t find Harry and then you’re nowhere to be found, do you not take this seriously? Zayn’s decided it would be real clever to put a large blonde streak of hair right in the front. I’m in crisis mode and my right hand woman is missing! I hope you had fun, now if you’d please go help Niall wash out his bleach so we can get this sound check over.”
Penny stood there silently, taking the scolding from her superior and just giving the woman a nod, no back talk, no excuses. She walked towards Niall who was sitting with his hair covered in bleach that was shaped into a Mohawk. “Ready for your rinse?” She’d ask before darting her eyes to the side to catch a glimpse of Harry. He had a look on his face that said “I’m sorry for getting you chewed out by your boss, but it was totally worth it.” She ignored him and followed Niall back to the washroom, they had it set up to where he could just lean over the sink and she’d attach a shower hose to the faucet for easy washing. “Tell me if it’s too warm, k?” She’d said as she began rinsing the dye out of his hair, avoiding his eyes.
“Were you with Harry?” His voice was muffled from the water and she could tell he was struggling to speak, she was glad he couldn’t see the look of terror that conquered her face upon hearing his question. “What? No, don’t be silly. I was just tired, had to catch up on my sleep.” She lied, placing shampoo into his hair now and lathering.
“It’s just real odd the two of you were missing and then you show up not even ten minutes after Harry arrived, I mean it’s cool if you were… I don’t know why you’d try to hide it.” He was able to speak clearer now that the water was turned off and she was massaging the suds into his scalp. She let out a sigh; Niall had been almost as close to her as Harry was. She chewed on her bottom lip, should she tell him?
“Well, if I had been with him, I wouldn’t want Lou to find out…” She finally answered honestly, turning the water back on and washing the soap from his hair. He didn’t reply this time, for fear of getting shampoo in his mouth. Once she’d turned the water off and began to lather in the conditioner he spoke. “Well, you’re not telling Lou. You’re telling me and you know I won’t snitch.” He said turning his head to look at her. She let her shoulders slump as she stopped working her fingers. He stood up straight now, wiping some water from his face and looking at her. “Harry’s a catch, just… be careful Penny. I don’t think he’d hurt you, not intentionally, but dating him could give you a complex. Reading about everything in the magazines, they’re not always true.” He gave her a look of worry; did he know something she didn’t? “Plus you know we’re meant to be anyway, he’s just messing with our marriage. You know you’re having my babies.” He added with a chuckle, quickly changing the mood of the entire conversation. She rolled her eyes and gave him a slap on the arm. “Shut up! Let’s get you rinsed before Lou kills me.” She said with a smile.
