A/N Hey guys this is our first story and I'm really excited for you to read it! We will alternate chapters because there two of us writing the book. So I am going to start with Alex's POV. Thanks for reading! ~Madss
"Aly! Get because have to drive me to work today Sarah is sick." McKinley yell because fine" I say standing up and stretching. I walk over to my dresser and pull out a pale pink blouse and my favorite skinny jeans then grab my combat boots and leather jacket from my closet. After I get dressed I curl my hair and walk out the living to room to see Micky wearing her Ed Sheeran tank top and Hollister shorts over her uniform red bikini.
"Let's go" I walk out to my car and start the ignition. After about thirty minutes we reach the country club that McKinley teaches swimming lessons for. She thanks me for driving her then I head home.
I don't have to go to work for another hour so I head next door to see what Willa and Sarah are up to. I just walk in and find them both in Sarah's room watching tv.
"Hey guys, what's up?" i ask during the commercials. They both hate when TV shows or movies are interrupted.
"Hey" Sarah croaked. She really is sick.
"What are you doing here?" Willa asks
"I just wanted to see how Sarah is doing, Micky told me she's sick." I explain. Willa came off a little rude but I guess that's OK because I did, you know, barge in to her house. She nodded and gestured for me to sit down. "No, I shouldn't I have to go to work soon. Shouldn't you be at work too, Willa?"
"I called in sick." she kept going when she saw my confusion "Walking Dead marathon" I nod
"I'm gonna head out. My boss wants me at work early ." I said and they both give me sympathetic looks.
On my drive to Mad Man records I see a moving truck at a house near by and a cute boy pulling a couch out of the back. I know I have a boyfriend but I smiled at him anyway and he smiled back. I look away and continue the drive to the prestigious record company where I work.
••••••••••••
"Miss Moore, may I have a few words?" A strange, yet slightly familiar, man asks me just as I walk through the doors of my workplace.
"Sure" I check to make sure I won't be late "Make it quick" he nods and pulls me into the empty conference room.
"My name is Nicholas Cooper, and I am the owner and founder of Mad Man Records" my jaw fell open in shock
"Seriously?" This is the boss of my boss. Oh my god is he gonna fire me? Crap is there anything I have done lately that would make him want to fire me? Well I was late one day last week...
"Don't worry I'm not going to fire you. Actually you are one of my best workers. Instead of being assistant to Mr.Smith, I would like you to work alongside him as Co-manager of this company." is he serious? "and with this promotion comes a raise of one thousand dollars a month. Are you willing to except the responsibility of being a big part of the management for Mad Man records?" I nod professionally
"Yes sir"
"As your first task I need you to fill out this paperwork and bring it to me tomorrow. understood?" I nod again. "You may take these papers home to work on if you wish" he says walking out of the room, leaving me with the small stack of papers so I pick them up and go to the comfort and peace of my home to complete. Before I leave I go to clear off my old desk. I grab the pictures of me and the girls at the beach and the one of my mom who passed away during my senior year of highschool. She would be proud of my accomplishments just out of school. I hear the song When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars and I know my phone is ringing.
"Hello?" I answer as I walk out to my car.
"Hey I need you to come get me lessons ended early" it was McKinley
"Kay. Be right there" I hear a beep telling
me she hung up. I walk out to my cobalt blue convertible and blast the radio.
••••••••
As soon as we got home we decided to see how Sarah is doing. As we walk over we see a cute blonde across the street at the house with the moving truck.
"He's cute" McKinley whispers and he takes a bite of his burger. Who stands in their yard while eating a burger? Well at least he is attractive. We walk into the house next door still staring at the attractive blonde. He noticed us at the last second and waved, both Micky and I turned red.
"What was that about?" Sarah asks and I shove her
"Aren't you supposed to be sick?" I say as more of a rhetorical question. She shook her head.
"Twenty four hour flu" is her reply. "So, what was that about?" she asks again. she won't stop until I answer
"Cute neighbor" Micky answered spacily and Sarah nodded.
"LET'S GO TO THE PARK!" Willa comes in yelling
"Sure" I say setting my purse on the side table and walk to the near by park.
"He is cute!" Sarah says as we pass by the house again but this time it was a different one with curly brown hair. Wow how many of them are there? We finish walking to the park in silence.
"Hey the blonde one is here!" McKinley yelled a little too loudly
"The blonde one?" Willa and Sarah ask in unison.
"Yeah I think three different guys moved in to that house across the street. A tan one with dark hair aka in my opinion the really cute one, a shortish blonde one who is also cute but not as cute as the first one. Then the one with long brown hair that we all just saw." I explain. I see the blonde talking to a cute brunette on the bench across the park. Sarah and I decide to go talk to them.
"Hi I'm Sarah you just moved here right?" he nods and so does the brunette. So there are four of them...
"I'm Niall" says the blonde with an Irish accent
"Liam" the brunette who sounds British
"I'm Alex and as you know this is Sarah. We live across the street from you guys. Over there" I say pointing to Willa and McKinley "Are our friends Willa and McKinley." as if on cue they wave. I call for them to come over and they do. "This is Willa"
"Hi" she waves
"And this is McKinley"
"Call me Micky" she says and shakes hands with Niall. "Nice to meet you"
"My pleasure" he says in that cute accent. They stood there like that for a while just staring at each other.
"Do you guys want to have lunch at Ruby's with us?" I ask breaking the tension.
"What's Ruby's?" asks Niall suddenly very interested.
"You have never heard of Ruby's?!" McKinley is utterly shocked. "Call your friends. we are going to Ruby's." she quickly says and stomps her foot.
"But-" Niall begins
"Call!" Micky interrupts and I pull my phone out of my pocket and toss it to Niall
"Thanks" he dials the number. "Harry bring Zayn and Louis to the park. We met some girls and they invited us to lunch" he pauses listening to Harry's answer "OK see you soon, bye" he hands back the phone "They will be here in about... Oh look there they are now! Wait where's Louis?"
"Boo bear is ditching us for some chick" says the one we just saw outside and Niall made a sad face.
"Well at least you and Zayn are here" Liam chimes in
"Hi I'm Zayn" the one I saw this morning comes up to me and shakes my hand
"Alex" Is all I can say as I get lost in his eyes
"I'm Harry!" the curly haired one said very excitedly. I can see him stare at Sarah.
"Hi Harry" Sarah says awkwardly noticing his stares and he snaps out of his trance.
"So let's go" Niall says "Write down the directions and we will meet you there"
"No we're walking" I inform him "Ruby's is only three blocks away" all the guys nod and we start walking up the hill to Ruby's.
As soon as we get there we are seated to a table for eight. If you have ever been to Ruby's you would know that it is a very 50s themed diner that has amazing milkshakes. I love it
"I want to meet this Ruby person." Niall says finishing his burger as the rest of us are just starting to eat.
"Niall, she probably isn't-" Liam tries to explain
"I wanna marry her!" he says with his mouth full of fries.
"Niall, Ruby is, like, ninety seven." Willa says
"Or dead" I add and he looks really sad.
"Niall loves food" Liam explains
"So does Micky" I laugh "They will get along great" Apparently they already do. They are having a contest to see who can down a chocolate chip milkshake fastest without vomiting. Niall finishes and we cheer then he runs to the bathroom and Micky does a victory dance.
"Do you girls want to come over to our place? Harry asks us while Liam and Zayn check on Niall.
"Sure" says Willa and we all shrug. As soon as the boys get back we pay for our food and go back to their house.
"Louis should be here I can't wait for you guys to meet boo bear!" Harry says just about to open the door but a busty blonde slams it open.
"I NEVER WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN LOUIS TOMLINSON!!!" she yells and runs to her car then drives off. We all then look inside to see Louis look back at us regretfully.
