Never Look Away
Chapter 6: Gettin' down to business
Carly’s POV
“I have work at 4:00.” I mumbled to Harry while we walked into the management building we were in just yesterday.
“Okay, I can drive you.” He offered as he held the door for me.
“Thanks.” I smiled up at him and saw the rest of the guys in the room already.
We didn't come here from the apartment, we went out to breakfast before coming here so I was surprised they were here. I walked in and sat down next to Louis. He rested his head on my shoulder and looked across the room at Harry as he sat down next to Zayn and Niall.
“-thank you, bye.” Paul hung up his phone while walking into the room; he looked tired but happy. “Oh hey guys. And Carly.” He laughed seeing me.
“Hello.” We all mumbled back to him.
“Well, let’s get this party started.” He sighed taking a seat at the desk. “We start our American tour in a week and a half, as you all know.”
“What state are we starting in?” Niall seemed excited about this tour.
“Florida.” Paul answered looking down at his pile of papers.
Great, they’re leaving again. I love that he has a job that he loves, but I hate that he has to leave all the time. I guess I’ll just do a bunch of work while he’s gone. Oh, Paul’s talking again.
“-then we go to Kentucky and Ohio.” He sighed and looked at me. “I have a question for you Carly.”
“Okay…” That sentence made me nervous.
“I know that you’re working a lot but what are you going to be doing until the middle of August?” He seemed like he had an idea but I couldn’t tell what it was.
“I have a ‘shoot for the Kardashian line in the middle of July but besides that, I don’t have anything huge.” I shrugged and looked at his growing smile. “Why?”
“As you know, we have a perfume coming out in a week and we need a model for it.” All the boys started smiling and cheering.
“Guys, shhh. You want ME to model for the perfume?!” I was almost cheering for it too.
“Yes, why would we get anybody else to model for them when you know them so well?” He had a point.
“I need to talk to my manager but I’m sure she’ll say yes.” I smiled at him. “You have no clue how much I’d love to do it.”
“That’s great, we’d love to have you. And there’s another thing…”
“Okay?” I got nervous again.
“We are going to be coming out with some clothes and doing our own photoshoots and I, I mean, we want you to come on the road with us. You get to model it, travel, get paid and stay with them.” He pointed at all the guys, they all were smiling and nodding. “I’m going to call your manager if you say yes to us.”
“Yes, definitely. I would never turn this down.” Louis looked at me and wrapped his arms around me while I talked.
“That’s great.” Paul smiled at me.
“Yay! Cupcake is coming with us!” Louis cheered while everyone else ran over to me and dogpiled me.
“Oh gosh, I’m going to die!” I croaked under the weight of them. “Paul, save me.”
“Guys, get off. You're gonna kill her.” Paul was standing when they were finally off of me.
“Thank you.” I took a deep breath and smiled at Paul.
“You're welcome.” He laughed sitting down again. “Now, let’s get down to business.”
“If we have to.” Louis sighed, resting his head on my shoulder while I crossed my legs so I was comfortable.
“I have work at 4:00.” I mumbled to Harry while we walked into the management building we were in just yesterday.
