The plane ride was quite awkward; I sat between Niall and Harry. Harry insisted on sitting next to Lux and I so he could entertain her, as well as Niall. Lou joyfully agreed to their requests, as I sighed in reluctance. The whole time Harry and Niall would try to start a conversation with me while the other one would cut them off or stick a jab. Harry and I bonded over Coldplay as Niall quickly jumped into the conversation. I counted down the hours until the plane finally landed. It was somewhat amusing, though, watching them trying to compete to be the coolest.
As soon as we got off the plane at LAX airport, paparazzi and fans swarmed us. No one warned me about this, and I immediately panicked.
"Guys, give us some space there's a child here!" I yelled, tightly grasping Lux in my arms protectively.
"Seriously people please, don't overwhelm the child." Harry said, holding one arm around me and Lux and the other arm extended out to make space for us. Paul, the boy's main bodyguard stayed by our side, forming a blockade between us and the crowd.
As I stared into the faces of the crowd, I locked eyes with a familiar face. Except this time, he was dressed in more casual clothing. He still had the same black mustache, glasses, and evil eyes. It was the false chauffeur who haunted me ever since our encounter on the way to Lou's.
I tried to look away, but it was too late: he saw me. I ran back to Lou and told her to hold Lux with fear in my eyes as my heart pumped vigorously. The false chauffeur started to push and shove through the crowd, making their way to me with hatred painted on their face. I started to walk towards him, accepting his challenge. I am going to scare this man away, and show him that even if I am a young girl, I am not to be messed with.
As soon as we were two feet away from each other, he smirked at me, thinking he was about to gain his revenge. He looked directly behind me, and froze. His eyes bulged as he tried to turn away to run, but, the heel of my boot made contact with his jaw. He yelped in pain, and the crowd screamed and ran around, unaware of what was going on. The false chauffeur quickly ran away, dashing throughout the panicked crowd. I looked behind me, and saw Paul zoom off after him. The other bodyguards rushed around us, rapidly escorting us to the van. Girls screamed the boy's names, crying as the boys looked at each other in terror. Lou held a crying Lux.
"What the hell just happened!?" Louis shouted.
"Dominique, what the fuck did you just do!?" Zayn screamed as police came to try to gain order in the terminal.
"It wasn't Dominique! That guy had it out for her, I saw him in the crowd!" Niall cried out.
We were thrown in the van eventually. The boys looked at each other searching for answers as Lou tried to calm Lux. Lou had a seemingly calm face on, as if she was anticipating something like this would happen and knew exactly what to do.
"Dominique, are you ok?" Harry asked me with his hand on my shoulder as he looked into my eyes.
"I'm fine." I said, shaking.
"Why did you kick that guy?" Liam questioned.
"It was the fucking guy who brought me halfway to Lou's to stop the car and search through my things!" I screamed nervously.
"What!?" The boys said in unison with disbelief on their faces.
"What the fuck is up with you?" Zayn said in fear.
"Zayn. This isn't her fault." Harry declared looking at Zayn with anger.
"Who cares who's fault it is, we've stepped out with her for only the second time and she's already ruining our image and causing security threats!" Zayn yelled with anger in his tone and disgust on his face.
"Listen you little prima donna shit, I didn't fucking apply for this job, I was placed here! And newsflash, nobody gives a fuck about your image because I'm sure you'll fuck that up for yourself quite soon!" I bellowed at him.
"Who do you think you are!?" Zayn laughed in confusion.
"Oh I'm-" I said until I was cut off by Lou.
"STOP!" Lou yelled above everyone else with Lux crying on her arm, automatically being silenced by her mother's yell.
"Listen, all of you boys! None of this is Dominique's fault. She protected herself, as well as US. She sacrificed a lot to take this job at her father's demand as well as mine, Tom's and others. So DO NOT say one more word about this incident or why Dominique is here, or what is going on. Dominique is here for the better sake of everyone." Lou proclaimed.
The boys sat uncomfortably with still faces, unsure of what Lou was hinting at and the entire situation. Lou never yelled. Harry was the only one brave enough to look into my eyes with sincerity.
"A million other girls in this world who are fully capable of watching an infant and this one is chosen who attracts trouble every where she steps foot." Zayn shook his head in defiance.
"ZAYN. Shut it." Lou said angrily, patting Lux's back.
"Take off without Paul. He'll meet us at the hotel." Lou said to the driver.
As we took off, Harry put his hand on my knee for support.
