The Wheels have Turned

Chapter 17

Perrie's POV:

I was woken up by a sudden urge to use the bathroom, I glanced a look at Jade who was still cuddled by my side sound asleep. I pushed her hair away from her pretty face and watched her stir a bit as I pulled me arm away from under her head, I usually don't want to cause anything to wake Jade up but I really needed to pee so bad. I successfully got out of bed with a still sleeping Jade on it and headed straight to the bathroom, I was mesmerized by the size of it since it fits a shower and bathtub with 2 sinks and began thinking of having a nice bubble bath in the tub later tonight.

As I exited the room, I looked at the window at the corner & I realized that the sun was beginning to set. Both Jesy & Jade were still softly snoring while Leigh-Anne was nowhere to be found. I went to the living room where I heard some sniffling on the way, there was Leigh who was sitting on the couch, holding her phone on her lap looking down and dabbing her eyes with a tissue. She must have heard me coming because her face suddenly shot up in my direction and all I saw was blood shot eyes and a red nose on her. She looked so sad and it broke my heart. I immediately sat beside her and gave her a comforting hug in which she accepted it and just leaned into my arms like dead weight. She didn't hug back but it was ok, she just wanted a warm embrace. I could hear her continue sniffling on my shoulder so I just pat and rubbed her back for a few minutes until she calmed down and relaxed a bit, she then released herself from the hug and just laid her head on the back of the couch sideways facing me but kept her eyes on her lap and I mimicked her movements as well as we sat in complete silence for maybe a minute or 2. 

We stayed completely still until I saw another tear rolled down on her face and I rubbed it off using my thumb and she smiled sadly at the gesture.

Leigh-Anne: Thank you Pez.

Perrie: Anytime Lei2x.

(another minute of silence)

Perrie: Do you want to talk about it?

Leigh-Anne shook her head in which I nodded as a form of understanding. It's not the first time I comforted the girls in times when they are sad/ lonely/ angry/ scared or frustrated, and for 5 years with them being attached by the hip, I can already tell how each of them manage their emotions or what they need at the time. Now I know Leigh doesn't want to talk about it for now and she just wants to forget for a while and I respect that. She then took the phone and started dialing "0" for information.

Leigh-Anne: Hello front desk? Yes, may I be connected to room service please? Yes. For food. Uh huh. Ok, I'll hold thank you. (she looked at me while she waited, still with sad eyes but atleast she stopped crying) Yes hello room service? Yeah. We're in room penthouse 1, we would like to order food please? Ok thanks.  Do you have any other recommendation? Yes, we would love some Hainanese chicken rice please and a medium cobb salad along with 2 lemonades? Ok thanks. Can you hold on for a minute? (She handed me over the phone signaling for me to order too) I order for Jesy & I, why don't you order for Jade and yours.

Perrie: Hello room service? 

Room Service: Yes Ma'am, how can I help you?

Perrie: Ok, do you recommend any soup? 

Room Service: Yes Ma'am, we have a signature soup very popular in Singapore, it's called Laksa soup.

Perrie: Ok, what are the components of it? 

Room Service: Well it's a spicy coconut curry soup with shrimp, fish cakes, egg and chicken meat.

Perrie: Oh ok, so that's for 1 person? Ok, one order of Laksa soup. What about rice meals?
