Who's the real you?

Chapter Ten

September 1994

In a short few weeks, Alytain had embraced Hannah as his baby mumma. He almost kept her by his side every waking moment.

Hannah struggled to deal with the paparazzi following them, she struggled with trying to keep her identity hidden, she struggled to keep her bump safe.

Alytain couldn't wait to parade Hannah around.

Avros took pride in changing Alytain's reputation from a party boy to a wholesome soon to be father.

Hannah sat down at the side of the stage, she watched Alytain fidget in his seat. She had come to learn that Alytain hated interviews.

She looked up at the small crowd in the audience, some were here for Alytain while some were just here to be part of the show's taping.

Avros stood by Hannah's side, he claimed it was his idea for bringing Hannah into Alytain's life, he took the credit for the upcoming arrival of Alytain's child.

"Welcome back ladies and gentlemen." Flora spoke, her accent was greeted with warm cheers from the audience.

Hannah shifted her attention to Alytain, he suddenly sat still. Alytain suddenly looked as if he was ready to catch questions.

"Today we have our special guest, the one who we all couldn't wait to see." Flora's smile brightly beamed under the studio lights "His got a reputation as the UK's biggest bad boy now his changed his tune and not just musically." Flora spoke calmly as her words felt insulting to Alytain. "Please welcome, Alytain."

The audience gave a small cry of cheers.

Alytain looked up at the small crowd, he nodded his head gracefully "It's great to be here." He shifted his attention off camera to Hannah, he could see she wasn't cheering. Alytain took a slow exhale as he shifted his attention to Flora.

"It's certainly been quite a while since you and I caught up. So tell me everything, how have you been? What are you doing with your music lately."

Alytain took his time to soak in the questions "Well Flora, since you and I go back quite a while, I think you'd know what I've been up to." He playfully winked at her.

Flora flustered a little as she laughed.

The audience allowed their laughter to filter through.

Hannah squirmed a little in her chair, she wasn't sure if she was uncomfortable for the sake of being uncomfortable or for the sake of watching and knowing there was rumours about Flora and Alytain.

"Music is still music; I'm actually taking a break from it for a while."

The audience filled with a sad aw.

"Don't worry, I'll be back." Alytain looked up at the audience "I just want to spend some time with my girl and our first child." He made it seem as if he and Hannah had been together secretly for a while rather than a short few weeks.

"I heard you have a baby on the way, I didn't believe it. A guy like you with a stable life?" Flora laughed, acting as if she was joking.

Alytain felt her words stab into his heart "Well, Belle and I have been dating for almost two years." He lied "She's my best kept secret."

"So, she doesn't mind all the girls you bring back?" Flora twisted the question into his heart.

Alytain shifted his gaze over to Hannah, he watched as she lowered her gaze "Well, Flora." He firmly directed his attention to her "There hasn't been a line up of anyone." He lied as if he was telling the truth "Yes, I have invited people backstage, but nothing happens."
