Little Freak H.S

📅Holiday kick off

"mmm sure." I groan and head to the cookie dough to get them on a cookie sheet.

"I love you I love you!!"

"yeah, yeah you better pay me for this hour too, because I know those waiters of yours are getting paid hella good." i halfway joke. I know she over pays the waiters for being here because they are having to deal with celebrities and they can be a pain in the ass sometimes... most of the time.

she sarcastically nods "Like you need the money?"

"fair enough "

We start sorting the finger food onto platters and listen to the hushed bass of music playing while making conversation.

I enjoy her company, the way she makes you feel seen just by interacting with her. she's addictive for sure which makes her perfect for the industry she's in. I take tips from her and her personality for my own work as a model and influencer.

Im the girl that grew up in the way ways of the suburbs, I moved to the city in need of a job as a model. luckily I was able to maintain a living off of influencing in the mean time and become successful but I know so many who just weren't able to keep up and also make time for modeling auditions, at times it wasn't a livable condition for me.

Using social media as an influencer allowed me to manage my own career, and take control. its my image and I like that about it. Being friends with Bea has shown me that I can be influential and also myself. Her effect has really sparked a new part of me that has really been showing in the content I produce, its more real, and authentic. people love that.

"Bee- babyyy? Where's my little busy bee?" I hear a smug voice enter the kitchen causing me to roll my eyes uncontrollably. 

"Ni!!!" Bea calls back when he is actually in the kitchen. I slowly spin around, rolling cookie dough in to a ball as I do so. He and I make eye contact and he takes an exaggerated step back.

"Do my eyes deceive me or Is that Hazel Harley, she's finally out of her apartment?" he cups his face and gasps

"Niall its been months cant you just use my actual name" I try and correct him.

"But Hazel sounds more girly, cuz you're my girly." he baby talks to me, making a heart with his pointer fingers in the air when he finishes. rolling my eyes again I turn back around and place the cookie onto the pan.

"Jesus Christ" I groan.

I hear his other friends/bandmates walk in as well. They were all nice at least from what ive interacted with. I didn't mind them much. Zayn and I were closer than the rest being that we cause the most trouble if left unattended near alcohol or weed. There's Louis and Liam who I used to get confused with each other. They bicker like siblings but are sweet guys when their hearts slip through their tough exteriors.

"Mates look, Haze is hereeee!" I hear Zayn say his voice getting closer to me assume for a bear hug. my back is still turned to him but his height towers over me.  I watch my hands as they're covered in cookie dough but lean back into his warm embrace.

"hey Bub, how are you?" I ask as he releases me and reaches for the bowl of left over dough.

"im good, workin, singing. the usual. haven't seen you around a lot though. I miss my Hazey baby ." he pouts and sticks his finger into the batter eating it raw. I squish my face at his action because I didn't wanna contaminate the dough. I nod as an answer, not really wanting to answer as to why I had been so distant.

"hi baby." I hear Bea behind me say to Niall followed by his response. I assume they kiss each other by the groaning and comments about privacy from the other guys.
