Because of the fans

Chapter 17

Beth's POV:
Joe insisted on taking me out tonight even though I thought it was a bad idea to leave Mason and Lorna alone. Knowing my brother we'd come back to no house and it didn't help that I couldn't trust Lorna she'd probably leak our address or have a house party while we are gone. And now I sound like a middle aged parent worried about their irresponsible kids. However Joe still insisted on going out on a romantic date so I was forced to agree.
Mason had some business meeting to attend to in London today so Lorna made her mind up that she was going to see and old friend which meant me and Joe were on our own for the rest of the day until the couple return at eight.

Me and Zoë planned to go into Brighton and look at all the tiny baby clothes because yesterday Zoë and Alfie had a scan and I was greeted this morning with a text that read: IT'S A GIRL!!!! love Alf xxx. Alfie had always been like a brother to me and everyone always had said that there is a chance we could be siblings because Mason actually isn't my biological brother.
The truth is that I was adopted when I was a baby. My 'parents' were owners of a record label so life was luxury but it didn't help me wondering what my family would be like. Some people even ask if we were brother and sister because we look so alike. However I doubt it Alfie wouldn't remember but bearing in mind he was only eighteen months old.
Back to the present time Zoë was due in around 17 weeks and she had to do some serious baby shopping. The familiar sound of my doorbell sounds through the house. I throw on a jacket that Zoë bought me for my birthday and ran down stairs to open the door revealing a happy Mrs Deyes. "Hello" she chimes pulling me into a hug. She steps in side. "Broseph!" She bellows in the direction of upstairs. "Siste... Sisteph ash sod it" he gives up after struggling. He slowly walks downstairs and greets Zoë before following me into the longs and taking his seat beside me. Zoë takes her usual seat on the circular spinning armchair if you know what I mean.
We sit and talks for hours on end before it reaches one o'clock and we have to go.
The drive from ours is approximately 15 minutes into the centre and her blue eyes widen as she sees Topshop. We know we are meant to be shopping for the baby but you can't blame us for shopping for ourselves as well as the baby. As we enter the shop Zoë Says hello to every member of staff by name. She orders the personal shopping team so she can get way more clothing which can't be a bad thing, right? We finish up in Topshop with three bags each and I think it's safe to say we're shopaholics.
We find Oliver Bonas and Zoë being Zoë invests in all of the copper things on the shop. I bought a cooper B and J for our bedroom and I bought the same thing for our lounge. I proceed to get a few mirrors and a small rug before forcing myself out if the shop before I buy the whole shop.
Next we come across a H&M and we hurry in like kids in a sweet shop. We buy the cutest little baby grows and dresses for my niece and I found one that stated 'my uncle and Aunty love me lots' which in no doubt was right. Zoë got sucked in by the accessorise section which made us spend an excess 40 minutes in the shop which was now beginning to get really hot. We proceed to the check out and pay for our items before making our way to many different shops.
Zoë bought a crib, wallpaper, dresser, mobile, teddies and a few books along with more clothes for both her and a baby. It was a good job that being a shopaholic wasn't a disease otherwise she's be ten feet under.
My car pulls up outside of the building I call my home and we lugg the heavy bags from multiple shops into the hallway. Alfie and Joe are both content and sucked into the world of FIFA. "BRO!" I shout as I pounce onto him. "SIS!" he replies. I get off him and sit in Joe's lap. Zoë and Alfie announce that their new edition to the family is going to be called Layla but we are the only ones that know and will know until the birth. They haven't decided on the middle name but they won't announce it until the day of birth which was fine by us.
Mason and Lorna arrive back whilst we are watching pretty little liars at mine and Zoë's request. Lorna literally flops down and announces they too are going out but they're going to London however Zoë and Alfie are going to house sit. Which I am way more happy about rather than Lorna and Mason staying here.
I slip into a dress before grabbing a jack and some heel/boots. I put on the necklace Joe had given me ages ago and obviously I still had the promise ring on of which he had gotten for me on my birthday. Joe grabs my hand and his wallet and car keys and we say farewell to Zoë and Alfie before getting into my car.
I have been forbidden to know where we are going for this date and my mind wonders off into a world of its own, thinking of all the possibilities of where we could be going to.
We pull up outside of the local cinema and book to see fast and furious 7. I am baffled when Joe removes his hands from my eyes and wraps his arms around my waist before snuggling his face into the crook of my neck. Joe rented out a private cinema but this was no other cinema... Before my eyes lay millions of sofas or what you would call a cuddle cinema (pictured above). Joe grabs my hand and leads me to the middle of the cinema where we both sit down. He stands up once more and waves to the man in the projecting room at the top as a signal for him to start the movie. I slipped my heels off and curled up on the sofa with Joe's arms wrapped around me and me leaning in to him. We share a passionate kiss and then continued to watch the illuminated screen. I look up to the ceiling were small lights are placed on the black roof so it looks like we are under the stars and it makes a little bit more romantic. It reaches the end of the movie and I start crying (no spoilers) at the saddest part. Joe tightens his grip on me and rubs his thumb over my stomach. A smile etches on my face and we lie there in silence for about half an hour before returning home and biding farewell to Zoë and Alfie.
