Little Bit of Truth (Sequal to The Overprotective Brother)

Chapter 14: And We Laughed As I Held You

I left the bathroom and headed up to our, well, now Ronnie and Lissa's bunk, to retrieve mine and Jacky's things. I passed Ronnie on the way.

"Hey which one's yours?" He asked. I pointed at the one on the bottom and he nodded, placing his and his girlfriend's things on the bunk.

"Sorry Ronnie," I said looking down.

"Hey, you're only human," He said smiling. "It's natural, and I don't mind giving up a room, you and Jacky are married, you two should really have it." I smiled up at him and he hugged me, as I turned around and began to descend the stairs to the bottom part of the bus. Jacky wandered out of the bathroom towel wrapped around his waist and followed me into the room. I opened the bag and started pulling random items out looking for something to wear. I wanted to wear a dress, but never really knew what to pick or what to add with it. I'm a mum. My priority was having Cass look pretty, so I blended into the background. Cass was staying with my friend Lights and her husband Beau Bokan tonight as we were all going to Asking's bus and they were the only other couple on tour with a baby with them so they offered to babysit. Lights had text me while I was in the shower to arrange it with me, which I agreed as the Bokan's were good friends of mine and my husbands.

"Help," Jacky said frowning at me holding straighteners in one hand and a comb in the other. I laughed at him and sat him on the bed so I could do the back of his hair for him. I finished and pulled out some ripped jeans and shirt for him before handing him a leather jacket and converse. He smiled. Dressing him was easier than dressing myself.

Becky, Katy, Lissa and Elleigh walked into the back.

"Right Jackson, leave the room," Becky said. I looked at her shocked. The girls beside her nodding.

"It's his room-" I started before being cut off by Lissa.

"We know Peasant, but we guessed you'd want help," she stated.

"Well.......erm.....yeah," I said looking down laughing nervously.

"Ok then, Jacky LEAVE," Becky said sternly. He laughed at my friends, picked up his clothes and left the room.

"Right, what jeans do I wear?" I asked the girls.

"JEANS! NO WAY ALEX!" Becky said before throwing a piece of black material at me. My nightmare continues. A black dress. Not just any dress a bodycon dress. First John, then the dress. That day in the changing rooms back home was coming back to haunt me. Luckily before Jacky and I got together, I told him all of my past, which he said he would protect me if anything was to happen.

"It's a little revealing, Becky," I said frowning.

"Here," Lissa said flinging me a pair of tights as Katy gave me a plaid shirt. She explained to leave it open. Elleigh handed me a bracelet as they all left the room.

I pulled on the dress, I wasn't happy with it but the other girls were all dressed in dresses, so there was no escaping it.

"I'm ready," I said as they came back into the room.

"Wow Alex, you look hot," Lissa said winking at me and wolf whistling. I laughed at her.

"Shoes Alex, here you go," Becky handed me a black pair of heels. I shook my head.

"No way, I gave into the dress, not the shoes too. If I have to wear the dress I'm wear my Doc Martens," I said standing my ground, she wasn't having the whole control of my outfit.

"Alex......" She whined. I glared at her. "Fine." She huffed. The perks of being a mother and having plenty of practice at the glare. I smiled pulling them on my feet and fastening them.
