Groom For Rent [ ziam au ]

My jaw probably fell to the ground already.

"It might be for commercial." Niall says casually, "Zayn? The hazel-eyed, ill-tempered hot guy that could steal your heart with just a single smile? That Zayn?!" I chirped excitedly.

"The one and only." Niall's probably smirking right now, hearing my small fit.

Then I dropped the paper bags before I screamed and jumped around.

"It's him! It's really him! Oh God, I can die now!" I received looks from the others, but I paid it no mind.

"Okay, okay. I'll be there! I can die tomorrow, okay?!" I breathed apace, "Tell me the place, the right address and the time I need to be there, so I can be hours early!"

"Wait. Why guys? Isn't he straight as a pole?" I stilled for a moment, inquiring Niall.

"Maybe he's bi. Who knows?"

"That's great!" I felt my happiness level rise even higher.

"Are you done yet, princess?" Niall probably rolled his eyes, "Niall. I need to get this part." I whispered, ignoring the name.

"Psh, no thank you?"

"Thank you so much! You made my day. I love you Niall." I gushed, "You're welcome, love ya too, Li." he replied before hanging up.

"Oh, how should I do my hair tomorrow?!" I scampered to my room.

--

"Come on!" I dragged Niall to the building, "It's my time to shine!" I yelled in a slightly hushed voice, feeling all giddy this morning.

I did my hair into a quiff today. It's usually down, so, yeah.

"There's a lot of people." Niall uttered, "Do you feel trapped?" I asked.

"Give me a few minutes."

After a while, I queried, "You okay?"

"Okay. I'm okay." he nodded shakily, "Let's go." I sent him a small smile.

"This audition is quite blockbuster, huh?" Niall kidded while I hummed in agreement.

"We're never getting the part like this." Niall went for the door but I caught his wrist and held it tighter, "Ni, please. Remember, Don't Give Up On Us, Baby?"

"We're not even together!"

"Ni, my point is, why quit now? We've been through so many auditions."

"Well, in a gay guy's opinion, you're hotter than that dude." Niall pointed at a blonde, "That's not really different from my opinion." I rolled my eyes.

"Everyone, can I have your attention please?" a deep Cheshire accent called as the door opened, catching all of our attention to it.

"We'll start the audition in a while, so we'll just call you one by one later, yeah?" Harry Styles smiled, but I just felt my breath hitch as I saw him inside the room with his other friend.

"There he is! There he is!" I yelled as I pointed at the closing doors, "Huh, Louis Tomlinson." Niall clicked his tongue as he saw the feathery-haired lad beside him, "No surprise there. The Styles-Tommo duo are always together."

"That's not it, I'm talking about Zayn!" my palm collided with my forehead, "I know, I just don't care as much as you do." Niall uttered bluntly.

"We should sign up now, come on!" I exclaimed, ignoring his remark again and pulling my best friend's hand.
