Never Is A Promise

I sat in the coffee shop, Simon had sent me on a lunch date, and to go pick up the newest gossip magazines to see what new rumors we had to deal with that afternoon. Darren was talking about the tour and all the prep work he still had for the girls. He acted like they worked for him, no we work for Simon and the artists.
Finally Darren took a few minutes to breath and just drink his coffee, I never thought you could look that arrogant while drinking a cup of coffee, “So MJ, you seemed cozy with that Liam kid.” He said hinting heavily that he thought we were involved.
“We’re good friends, I’m friends with all of the boys it makes it easier as their PR to be friends, I don’t have to go pry into their personal lives whenever a new story comes up.”
“How so?” He asked an eyebrow quirked up. ‘Wow, genuine interest this is new’ I thought smiling.
“Because we’ve probably already talked about it over a drink or movie, or if I don’t know I can call them up and flat out ask and tease them about it. Like when Harry was recently rumored to be at Buckingham for tea.” I explained picking a recent story that was completely absurd “For that the boys and I all called him up while he was on vacation with his mom and left him voicemails teasing him about his ‘date’ with the Queen and how the Prince had better hold onto Kate because Harry Styles was coming to tea!” I said Darren smiled and laughed.
“Now that just sounds like fun.” He said. I blinked, what had just happened, Darren was suddenly acting well like a sweet normal guy.
“It was,” I nodded taking a sip of my coffee when my phone buzzed, a text from Simon. ‘Get back here you still have the day in the life of 1D to post, the letter to send out with it, and there is a you Harry and Darren rumor in a few Pap mags. Pick them up on the way back.- Simon’ I sighed as I read. “I have to get back Simon has a mile long list of work for me, all of a sudden” I said.
“Alright, maybe we could go out next time, dinner and a club?” Darren asked. I scrunched my eyebrows together why was Darren being so sweet?
“Yeah sure.” I said giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek before heading out my phone buzzing again. ‘And a tour announcement video to film with the boys! Good luck with that one though, Harry is pretty hung-over.’
I groaned knowing how hard it was to work with a hungover Harry. I stopped by a magazine stand picking up the normal ones before walking into the office.
I walked into the office dividing the list on my phone “Hey Aly, wanna help me kill some rumors?”
“Sure what’d Styles do this time?” She asked grabbing the papers as I sat down to work on the video, pulling up the footage, it was mostly done; I just needed music and one more clip of each boy.
“Umm, Mick?” Aly asked. I looked up she was holding up a paper on the front was my picture as well as Darren and Harry’s and the headline of how Darren was stealing Harry’s girl. “How do you want to deal with this?” she questioned.
I shook my head and sighed, “Deny me ever being with Harry, good friends is all.”
“So the normal” she laughed as I nodded. “Have you found an opening for the video?” she asked.
“I just got an idea actually” I said as she brought her laptop over plopping herself onto our adjoining desks as we both hoped onto the tables to work together.
“I love this job,” she laughed “I get to do what I love and if I screw up its your fault,” she laughed as I smacked her in the arm clicking on the videos we’d made at the concert, and before, during the interview putting in the questions people hadn’t heard before. I added in a montage of hilarious clips from just while hanging out with them. Before putting in a classic hello from the boys that was more like four of them saying hi and then Louis tackling the group causing everyone to fall over and start a big scrap on the carpet of our flat. Aly laughed as I dropped in the clips of them playing twister, Harry sliding across the doorway with his superman socks and glasses, Louis and Zayn pushing him. Niall with a beer mustache Liam climbing the walls, I even put in the clips of Harry and Niall crashing into the glass door, Harry falling asleep in the studio. The boys drawing on Harry, and having Simon walk in and finally dropping in the Tom Cruise impersonations.
I clicked play to check and make sure I had it cut correctly, as Simon and a few others came over. “You should add in both of your impersonations at the end so that the fans can meet you and see that you work with the boys. It’d be a good way for them to meet you.” He said smirking, I laughed dropping our clips on the end adding in a ‘Meet the new PR Managers MJ and Aly!’ caption. I let it play from the end of Harry’s dance solo. “Wow you two are pretty good dancers.” Simon said staring at the screen as it ended.
We both laughed “Before we started working here we did competitive west coast swing dancing,” Aly said “Well Mick did, she just dragged me to a few but Mick is really good.” Aly pushed me.
“Hey you’re good too!” I laughed shoving her as the others around us laughed. “Alright, newsletter time!” I said starting to draft the email out to all the Directioners. Introducing Aly and myself as the newest members in 1DHQ well as bringing up the tour. I included all the new places the boys would be traveling as well as their new album and when the tickets would be on sale, I promised a special promo code to all the Directioners that got the newsletter to get tickets a few days early.
Aly was typing away at her computer trying to straighten out all the new rumors from the rumor mill when two hands came around me pushing my hands off my key board. I laughed as he rested his chin on my shoulder typing away on a new paragraph. ‘Hello Directioners Styles here taking over MJ’s computer as she has done to my twitter numerous times, yes she really does steal my phone and hack my twitter, get her back for that for me will you? Also passing on a hello from all the other boys as we all can’t wait to see you all on tour, you’re the best fans ever! We can’t wait to give you the promo code so the first code for a 20% break on the ticket prices is #Harry_Styles.is.amazing.<3 I’ve already cleared it with Uncle Simon and this code is only for those of you who already get our newsletter. And its only good for the first 3 days of sales so jump on quick when the time comes. Well I’m off for now if MJ elbows me one more time I thing I’ll have a permanent bruise, ow.’
“You are going to get me killed Styles, say you’re joking.” I laughed leaning back into him. He chuckled kissing my neck as I took back the keyboard.
‘Just kidding don’t be to hard on MJ she works hard and has to put up with all the stunts the boys and I pull.’ I typed as Harry pushed my hands off the keyboard. ‘However, she did tell Louis he couldn’t post the picture he has of me cooking naked so that you can blame her for. Xx - Harry’ I laughed and hit the return button a few times. ‘I actually didn’t ban Louis from posting that. I just told him not to use foul language and that he couldn’t joke about being gay while he’s dating Eleanor. I told him he was free to post that picture if it was alright with you.’ I typed wrestling with Harry for the keyboard as I typed the goodbye and good luck paragraph with the link for the video.
I pulled up the twitter account for the boys and posted the tour announcement. ‘2012-13 tour ready to go! Europe, both Americas, Australia, Asia & Africa! More Details to come! Get Ready! Tickets on sale soon! xx.’ I smirked up at Harry as I logged myself onto his twitter and the other boys and re-tweeted it. Harry laughed pulling me close as he pulled me close. “So how are things with Darren?” he asked.
“Good.” I said. Resting my head back into the crook of his neck.
“Hey you two, its really hard when you’re writing a letter to the paparazzi about how Harry isn’t involved with anyone while you too are over there cuddling.” I laughed leaning over to push her.
“Its just as easy as denying that Niall and you are dating.” She smiled as Harry nuzzled into the crook between my head and shoulder.
“Be nice now MJ” she said laughing as she sent out the last email.
“So Harry how’s your head, I heard you had a pretty bad hangover” I said nudging him.
“Oh he did. He very much did.” Zayn laughed from behind us.
“Yeah he very nearly broke into your house to get whatever you gave him last time, we talked him out of it no worries” Liam said sitting down in my desk chair spinning around as Zayn and Louis jumped onto his lap.
“Simon sent us down for a tour announcement video?” Niall asked. I nodded, stepping up out of Harry’s arms.
“Yep that sounds right, now lets go” I waved them forward as Aly and I hurried them toward the cars, “to the London Eye.” I directed as the driver took off another car for security behind us, I handed the boys about thirty flyers each “Sign them”
Liam flipped it over. “On behalf of One Direction I am inviting you to help us kick off our newest tour on November 15th 2012, in London! Just show this flyer and get in free front row! See you there. And then we sign it.” He smiled “I love this idea! MJ”
“Yep and have fun with it I’ll be video taping you running around London and inviting fans, after you all read your short little script on the Eye, announcing the tour.”
The boys cheered as they each grabbed a pen from my hand “Wait how will we know they aren’t forged?” Liam asked.
I smiled “The cards have bar codes on them that are coded for the front row floor tickets, they bring these in and we give them a ticket.”
“Nice” Zayn said as he continued to sign the cards.
The boys had just finished when we reached the Eye and we hopped on, as I directed the operator to stop us at the top for a good 15 minutes. He agreed after finding out it was for One Direction. The security waited at the bottom as we reached the top. “Alright, you guys know the drill.” I laughed turning on the video camera, pointing at them to go, and off they went, being their normal goofy selves while introducing their world tour and where they were going and when tickets would go on sale.
All of it, as we started on our way back down Harry and Louis took over talking. “Ok so we have a surprise for any Directioners who are out and about around the London Eye right now.” Harry said.
Louis shoved the card in front of the camera “Free tickets! We’re giving away 150 to which ever fans we meet and can earn them!” He said as the doors opened and the boys all ran out screaming “Lets go!!!”
Aly and I laughed as we all took off after them each of us with a camera even security were filming the boys as they handed out the free tickets.
Aly took off after Niall. Tom was after Liam, Paul ran after Zayn, Leaving me to chase down Louis and Harry who had run off together. I stopped behind Louis with the camera. “Hey girls!” Louis said as the eight girls squealed, causing me to grimace as I walked to the side.
“Hi!” the blonde haired blue-eyed girl said, she hadn’t screamed as loudly as the others, but her Queen Bee attitude was obvious as she glared at me.
“Hello Girls! I’m Louis and this is Harry” He said.
“Oh we know,” the girl with medium length brown hair giggled. I bit my lip to stop the smirk that was about to be plastered on my face.
“And this is our PR Manager MJ” Harry said introducing me, I smiled and waved, as the girls all bit a smile and said hello.
“Well we have a few questions one for each of you, if you answer correctly then we have a prize for you.” I saw Louis already counting out eight cards but instead of being signed by just him Harry had signed ‘& Harry’ I smirked rolling my eyes at their antics. The girls nodded bouncing on the balls of their feet.
“Alright,” Louis said clapping his hands together “I’m gonna start with the easy questions then get harder.” The girls nodded again. “What color are Harry’s eyes?”
“Green,”
“Correct!” Louis said loudly putting a hand over Harry’s mouth as he opened it. “Who is the Bradford Bad Boy?”
“Zayn!”
“What is Liam afraid of?
“Spoons”
“Who is Harry’s favorite Superhero?”
“Superman”
“What did Liam train in before singing?”
“Track.”
“Thriller is one of ‘Blank’s’ favorite songs? Who is Blank?
“Zayn!”
“Yep!” Harry said beating Louis to it. “What was named Kevin?
“Louis named a pigeon Kevin in the video diaries.”
“Good one last one!” Harry said, “What is Niall afraid of?”
“Birds.”
“Well the correct answer is everything but I’ll accept it.” Harry said as Louis and I burst out laughing. The boys each grabbed four of the cards, handing them out, giving each girl a hug. I followed the boys around as they handed out all the cards, asking questions making some fans do cartwheels, or demonstrate their party trick or secret talent. After the boys were done I’d get a statement from them asking if it was alright for us to use the footage in a video for One Direction, they all said yes.
