Chapter 8

Jade's POV:

I am slightly nervous as the car stops in front of Perrie's mum's house. It feels like this is a big deal, meeting the parents and all, but in fact, I don't even know Perrie. It's not like she's introducing me as her girlfriend, just an acquaintance. Maybe even just a fling.

Perrie steps out of the car, waits until I've joined her and puts her arm around my waist. I can't deny how good her touch feels and I hate how much I crave her physical contact. She keeps her hand steadily on my waist as she rings the doorbell.

"Uhm, shouldn't you remove your hand before your mum opens? She might get the wrong idea." I say softly and pray that the door won't open in the middle of my sentence. The blonde pop star makes her hand go slightly lower, so it's resting on my hip. "What's so wrong about the idea she might get?"

Before I can answer, the front door swings open, revealing a blonde woman who smiles warmly at Perrie and me. "Hey, Perrie! I've missed you so much." Finally, her hand leaves my body to engulf her mother. I'm positive that I'm going mad by the way I'm reacting to her touch.

"Hi, mum! This is my beautiful friend Jade. Jade, this is my mum Debbie." The blonde woman turns to me with a bright smile and stretches her hand out in a greeting. I gladly accept and as I do so, Perrie's hand is back on my hip.

I turn my head a little bit to glance at her and even though she isn't looking at me, there's a slight smirk playing on her lips. Those lips.

"Come inside, girls. Jonnie is already here." I want to ask who Jonnie is, but my introduced status as a friend may mean I should know that. Perrie signals me to go in first and follows right behind me.

She's so close behind me and makes sure to now hold my both hips with her hands. Walking this close behind each other makes it quite impossible to walk normally, but she doesn't seem to care. She also doesn't seem to care about her mother witnessing all this.

Perrie uses her hands on my hips to guide me through the house. Her breath hits the back of my neck and it feels like she's trying to play me the same way she did months ago. I'm not going to fall for it this time, though. She's not going to make me so sexually frustrated that I can't deny her.

I walk into the kitchen of the house and a tall man is standing in front of me. Perrie doesn't let go of me as I stop walking and stops so close behind me that there's practically no space in between us.

"Hello, sister. Is this your new girlfriend?" Jonnie, apparently her brother, asks after taking in our closeness. "No!" I almost scream and step out of her reach closer to the man in front of me. "No, I'm not. We're just friends. I'm Jade."

My nervousness causes me to talk fast, but I just stretch my hand out, which he gladly shakes. "Nice to meet you, Jade. I'm Jonnie." "Nice to meet you too."

I turn back around and Perrie is looking at me with an emotion I can't quite decipher. What kind of game is this woman playing?

"So, what do you kids want to do today?" Debbie asks quite excitedly. "Mum, we're not kids anymore." Perrie slightly groans as she turns towards her mother and I have to bite my lip to stop myself from chuckling at her childish behaviour.

"You two will always be my kids, baby." Perrie rolls her eyes as Jonnie slightly bumps his elbow against my rib. I turn to look at him and he's imitating his sister behind her back. This time I can't hold it in and chuckle loudly.

Those blue eyes shoot towards me in an instant, and she narrows her eyes slightly at the two of us. "Let's just go for a walk in the park nearby, the weather is beautiful and we can catch up while walking," Jonnie suggest.
