Shreya's POV:

"May I come in?" I knocked the glass door.

"Come in,Reya" Simon's voice commanded.

I pushed the door open and took a seat before him on one of the plush black leather seats.

"How many songs are ready and recorded?" He twirled the glass paper weight on his table.

"Eight,Uncle" I responded.

"What're they? He questioned.

I opened the playlist title 1D project 2 on my phone and handed it over to him. He scanned through the lists.

"Send me a copy of this and what are you and the lads doing right now?"He asked handing my phone back to me.

"Liam,Louis and Zayn will be here in a while to brainstorm for a song.Harry and Niall are practising their vocals" I informed him.

"Good" His phone buzzed and he quickly scanned it and dropped it back on the table."I'm not sure if Liam would still join you"

"Why? What happened?" I asked as worry etched into my face.

"He confirmed his break-up with Danielle" He grunted.

They originally broke up a while ago. He was angry with the boys and I took it as a mission console him and he ended up crying on my shoulder with a ice-cream tube on his lap.He was over her and was actually bonding with his childhood friend,Sophia.

"I don't think so...He broke up with her long back he has just made it public today" I shrugged.

"In that case,I'll be happy. Go resume your work,dear" He smiled.

"Bye uncle Simon,Take care" I exited the room and walked to the studio.

I pushed open the translucent door and plopped in the couch.It was empty.I took my phone and checked my texts.The lads were on the way.My phone began to buzz and the next thing I knew I was staring at three faces in three cubicles.

"Yo bonkers!"I greeted them.

"Hello bitch,what's up?"Rahul replied.

"Am in the studio"I shrugged.

"Ms.Songwriter is busy huh?"Stephen wiggled his eyebrows. I just laughed.

"Where are you Diya?" I asked the smiling one.

"Los Angeles. Mom needed help" She sighed.

"Asshole,visit me before you you go back to India!" I warned her.

"I'll try" She held her hand up in surrender.

"How's everyone there?" Stephen asked.

"Awesome.I'm waiting for 3/5 of 1D to arrive" I chuckled.

"Lover boy coming?" Diya giggled.

"No"I shook my head.

They declined the call as each one was being called in the background. Diya joined NIFT(National Institute of Fashion Technology) following her mother's footsteps.So she often travelled with her mother. Stephen joined AR.Rahman's music college.ARR is a very inspirational and talented producer and singer. Rahul is doing a course on Photography in some reputed institution.

They all came with me to drop me in London and spent a week with me last April.It had been more than a year since we met.We got quite busy with our lives.

"Hello" A sing-song voice gained my attention.

Louis walked in followed by Liam and Zayn. Liam sat beside me with a humph resting his head on my shoulder massaging his temple.

"What happened?"I asked the other two as they settled on the bean bags opposite to me.

"Paparazzi" Zayn gave a one-word reply.

I nodded my head my mouth forming a small o."You guys got any inspiration or lines?"I asked them.

"Well,then let's get everybody to the mood first"Louis sighed pointing to Liam with his eyes.

"Liam,Guess who followed me back on Instagram?" I asked him with an excited voice.

"Who?" He simply asked.

"Sophia?" I carefully voiced her name.

"What?" He sat up with his face resembling a five year old who got candy.

"Yes"I shrugged.

"Sophia is such a sweet girl.You really should meet her"Liam began to rant about Sophia.

I smirked raising an eyebrow and cocking my head to side at Louis.He showed his tongue.

"Baby tell me what to change...I'm afraid you'll run away...If I tell you..What I've wanted to tell you yeah" Zayn sang out of nowhere gazing at the ceiling.

I quickly jotted it down in my note."That was a good one" I appreciated.

"Did I sing that loud?"Zayn broke out from his reverie his cheeks turning red.

"Yes,mate" Louis slung his arm around his neck.

"Maybe I just gotta wait..Maybe this is a mistake..I'm a fool yeah..Baby I'm just a fool yeah..Oh, oh" Liam continued the song.

"Girl, what would you do...Would you wanna stay?...If I were to say" Louis joined them.

I closed my eyes letting the words sink in. "I wanna be last, yeah...Baby let me be your...Let me be your last first kiss...I wanna be first, yeah...Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this...And if you only knew...I wanna be last yeah...Baby let me be your last...Your last first kiss" I voiced out my reflexive feel.

"Baby I, I wanna know...What you think when you're alone...Is it me? Yeah...Are you thinking of me? Yeah...Oh, we've been friends now for a while...Wanna know, that when you smile...Is it me? Yeah...Are you thinking of me? Yeah...Oh, oh" Liam's voice followed mine.His face carried a fondly smile.

"Girl, what would you do...Would you wanna stay?...If I were to say" Zayn chanted the words gazing at his mobile.

"That was pretty quick for us..We need to order up the lyrics now" Louis beamed proudly.

We sat on the floor in a circle along with our producers Yacoub,Falk,Fogelmark,Nedler and assembled the lyrics ans set a tune and assigned the singer for the verses.

We got our lunch in studio itself and carried on with our work and was done with the song by evening. Now the lads have to record it.Zayn made a call to Harry and Niall and asked them to come.

I exited the studio to refill my mug with coffee and borrow some fresh air. I was greeted by Simon uncle near the coffee machine.

"Good thing I saw you here! A producer will be arriving tomorrow morning to work with you"He informed.

"Who is it?" I asked him.

"You'll see tomorrow" He replied and walked away.

I filled my mug and stood by the window sipping my coffee.A lady with jet black hair entering the office caught my eye.I placed my empty cup on the nearby table and walked back to the studio.

Harry and Niall were already there and analysing the lyrics when I went in.I plopped beside Harry on the couch and hugged his bicep kissing his cheek.

"Hey babe,missed me?" He rubbed his nose against mine.

"Maybe" I chuckled.

He hit my forehead with his chuckling.I heard the door open.

"I thought someone said lover boy is not coming" A female's voice filled with humour flooded my ears.

I turned quickly and found my most favourite girl in the world wearing a pair of white skinny jeans and a black crop top with her jet-black hair embracing her shoulders standing by the door.

"Diya!"I screamed with joy rushing to engulf her in a hug.

"Bitch you never told me you were coming" I accused her slapping her arm.

"Because darling I was practising the magic called surprise"She giggled.

Everybody in the room laughed.I engulfed her in a hug again and let her settle beside me on the couch.

"Nice of you to drop by,Diya" Louis chuckled at her.

"Yeah,we missed you" Harry agreed.

Diya made a dramatic bow making everybody except one human with a quiff chuckle.The one sporting the quiff looked at her intently and when I caught him he began to fiddle with his phone and my best-friend whenever her eyes darted towards him she smirked or smiled.

What in the world did I miss?

"Alright lads,can we record?" Falk asked.

"Sure"Liam got up and when to the mics behind the see-through glass panes.

Harry pecked my cheek and followed suit.Harry and Zayn chose to stand while the other three sat on their seats before the mic.

Yacoulb messed with the keys and signalled with his hands three two one and showed thumbs up.

"Baby I, I wanna know...What you think when you're alone...Is it me? Yeah...Are you thinking of me? Yeah...Oh, we've been friends now for a while...Wanna know, that when you smile...Is it me? Yeah...Are you thinking of me? Yeah...Oh, oh" Liam began the song grinning goofily and starring dreamily at nowhere.

"Girl, what would you do...Would you wanna stay?...If I were to say" Harry began the pre-chorus smiling at me.

"I wanna be last, yeah...Baby let me be your...Let me be your last first kiss" Everybody began the chorus.

"I wanna be first, yeah...Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this...And if you only knew...I wanna be last yeah...Baby let me be your last...Your last first kiss" Harry ended the chorus.

"Baby, tell me what to change...I'm afraid you'll run away...If I tell you...What I've wanted to tell you, yeah...Maybe I just gotta wait...Maybe this is a mistake...I'm a fool, yeah...Baby, I'm just a fool, yeah, oh, oh" Niall and Louis harmonised together.

"Girl, what would you do...Would you wanna stay?...If I were to say" Zayn sang the pre-chorus looking at the jet-black haired girl beside me.

"I wanna be last, yeah...Baby, let me be your, let me be your last first kiss...I wanna be first, yeah...Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this...And if you only knew...I wanna be last, yeah...Baby, let me be your last" They chorused together.

"Your last first kiss Your last first kiss Your last first kiss Your last first kiss" Harry ended it.

"I wanna be last, yeah...Baby let me be your...Let me be your last first kiss...I wanna be first, yeah...Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this...And if you only knew...I wanna be last yeah...Baby let me be your last..." The lads harmonised the chorus with their heavenly voice.

"Your last first kiss" Zayn and Harry highlighted the end.

"I wanna be last, yeah...Baby, let me be your, let me be your last..Your last first kiss, oh (Your last first kiss)...I wanna be last, yeah...Baby, let me be your, let me be your last...Your last first kiss" They sang the outro together and the song was ended by Harry and Zayn.

The producers,I and Diya began clapping and the lads looked at each other with proud.They came out and we all listened to the song once making sure everything was perfect and left the studio at nine.

We ordered chineese takeout on the way and plopped on the couches in the living room of 1D villa.

"Welcome to our home,Diya" Niall greeted her lazily.

"Such a warm welcome" She teased.

To honour Diya's presence we decided to have a movie-night and camp in the theatre room. Bed sheets,comforters and Pillows were hauled out of rooms and assembled in the theatre room.

We decided to watch Savage because Louis liked the name.I and Diya settled in the middle on the comforters.Harry plopped down beside me and kissed the side of my head. Zayn plopped on the other side of Diya.Louis and Niall settled beside Harry and Liam settled on the other side of Zayn.

The only light in the room was that coming from the screen. I felt bored soon and rested my head on Harry's chest with my fisted palms beside my face.He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Zayn snaking his arms around Diya's waist and pulling her closer and she rested her head on his shoulder after kissing his cheeks.

What in the popsickly world I missed?
