Phoebe’s POV
I tried to make the meeting light hearted, being paid to be someone’s girlfriend was bound to be awkward, and as soon as Lisa told me what my ‘job’ would be, I knew I had to lighten the mood a little. Lisa also informed me that Niall was in no way looking forward to this, and that I could expect him to hate me. I didn’t want Niall to hate me so I decided to show him that I thought this whole situation was weird as well. Apparently it worked because I got the job.
I was a little sceptical about taking the job, because it came with a lot of cons. The only real pro I could think of was the steady income and the fact that I would get to travel the world. The cons included having to pretend to be someone’s boyfriend for 6 months, thus not being able to be publically involved with anyone BUT Niall for 6 months. The fact that all of their fans will probably hate me and threaten to kill me over twitter. The fact that I can’t further my education. And the biggest one of all, what will my parents think?
Currently I was staying in new York with my best friend Lucy, I am originally from DC and I flew out here to stay with her for a week, I was desperate to move out of my mum and dads home, not because I didn’t like them or anything, I loved them to pieces, but I needed my own space and own independence. Now I’m here in New York and just accepted a job, I won’t be going back, not even to say goodbye. I am dreading the phone conversation in which I tell them about this strange job, but it’s going to have to happen sooner or later.
We got out of the meeting hall and Niall turned to me.
“I’m sorry you have to do this Phoebe” he said solemnly
“Don’t be sorry, it’ll be fun. We can make it fun” I said with a hopeful smile.
“Thanks” he said finally smiling back “this is my first time having a fake girlfriend”
“I’ll try and be gentle” I said with a wink causing him to crack up
“It’s just that Harry and Louis have done it loads of times and hated it, I don’t want to hate my life for six months” he said sincerely.
“I get it, I’m worried too but we can make this work okay?” I say and he nods along “you never know we might be besties after this” I smile and playfully punch his arm before walking down the halls to the exit.
“See you tomorrow at the second meeting Phoebe” he shouted down the corridor as I was leaving.
“You will indeed” I say in my best British accent and glide out of the offices. There are a few paps outside, but for now they completely ignore me. This will probably be the last time.
I get home to Lucy’s place I drop my bag on the floor and kick my shoes off. Lucy’s house my home away from home. I was so jealous that she had her own place, it was so nice too. She was earning a buck because she was a top model at Victoria secret. She was blonde and gorgeous but she was also the sweetest girl you will ever meet.
“Honey I’m homeeee” I yelled as I got through the door. She came running up to me from the kitchen, of course, and jumped me with a hug. She leaned back and looked at me with an expecting smile. I know she wanted me to spill about how everything went but I decided to ignore her hints.
“You’re happy today Lucy” I say slyly
“Oh just tell me already” she laughed “how’d it go how’d it go how’d it goooooo” she whined
“I got the job” I screeched
“Yes!! I knew you could so it Phoebes!!” she said confidently “how are the boys? Are they as gorgeous in person?” she teased, she has always had a bit of a thing for the One direction boys, so she was definitely jealous that I got offered this job.
“I actually only met Niall today, but I’m meeting them all tomorrow at the second meeting.” I said
“Oh my god that’s so exciting, do you like him? Is he nice?” she questioned, so many questions.
“Yeah he seems sweet” I say and she wiggles her eyebrows “no, no not like that, I think we’re going to be good friends, honestly”
“Good, I’m glad my little Phoebe has found a job and is all happy” she said squeezing my cheeks. She always treated me like her little sister, even though we were the same age. Apparently I was innocent, she always says that I don’t even notice when I guy is trying to flirt with me, and that’s why I haven’t lost my v card yet, but that’s not entirely true, I was waiting for the right guy. “But Phoebes..” she said concerned
“What…?” I asked cautiously
“What are your parents going to think?”
