One I've Been Missing

Your Love (Part 1)

It's been two weeks since my date with Perrie at the Observatory; things have been great between us, and we went on another four dates. She's everything I hoped she would be and more; she treats me really well, and she's also very fun to be around.

This weekend, Jasmine is in South Shields, so she can spend time with my mom and her cousins Amara and Karl; it's also Leigh-Anne's birthday this weekend, and she's throwing a pool party. She told me to invite Perrie, so they could properly meet each other, and Perrie said yes.

It's currently 8:30 on a Saturday, and my brother Karl came yesterday to pick Jasmine up. It will be weird all weekend without her, but it will be good for me to rest a little and spend a little bit more time with Perrie. She'll come to my house at 9, so we can go to a café have breakfast together, and later go to Leigh's house for her birthday. I decided to get out of bed, take a shower, and get ready.

Soon enough, I heard the doorbell and opened the door. "Hey baba" Perrie said, greeting me with a kiss. I put my hands on the back of her neck, and she pulled me closer by the waist. When we pulled away, I said, "Hi babe, how was the studio session yesterday?"

"It was great; we managed to master two other songs, and we're writing some other ones." She said this as she removed her jacket and sat down next to me on the couch.

"Wrote any songs about me?" I asked, wriggling my brows.

"Of course babe, you know you're my muse. I wrote a song called Your Love, and they are figuring out which artist to give it to, but I can make an exception and let you hear the demo later since you were the inspiration behind it."

"I would love that; I'm so excited. I love your voice."

"I love yours, too; you know, the day we sang in the park, you told me you weren't a singer, so I expected you to sound mid, and then you opened your mouth, and it was like Ariana Grande" she laughed.

"Oh, come on, don't flatter me." I said this while laughing.

"It's true you were brilliant." she said, and we stayed a few seconds just enjoying our closeness as she had her arms around my shoulder and my head was on her chest. I looked at the time and realized that we should go.

"We should get going, so we can head back and chill a little before going to Leigh's."

"All right, baby, let's go." she said as she stood up and extended her hand to me. We decided to go walking since the coffee shop was nearby. We walked hand in hand, and when we got there, I ordered my tea.

"You really are obsessed with your tea, aren't you?" Perrie said it playfully.

"No one comes between me and my love for tea." I said

After we got our breakfast, we went back to my house and chilled while watching RuPaul's Drag Race, which Perrie learned was another obsession of mine. Then it was time to head out and go to Leigh's.

Since it was a pool party, Perrie and I were both wearing denim shorts and a T-shirt with our bikinis underneath.

We got to Leigh's house, and we could already hear Rihanna playing through the speakers. I then rang the bell.

"Hi girls!" Andre greeted us with a smile on his face. "Come on in; I'll get you guys your drinks" he said, and he went to the bar area. He came back and handed them to us and said, "Let's go to the pool; Leigh is waiting there."

As soon as we crossed the door, Leigh came over to us and said, "Jadey!" We then hugged. "Happy birthday, Lee Lee!" I said it excitedly. When we pulled apart, Leigh turned her attention to Perrie.

"Hi Perrie, It's really nice to see you again. I'm already tired of hearing your name because Jade doesn't shut up about you." Leigh joked

"Happy birthday, Leigh." Perrie said so and hugged her as well

"I'm glad to hear that, because I don't shut up about Jadey either" she said, putting her arms around me. I smiled as I looked up at her.

"Aww, you guys are cute." Leigh said, gushing over us. "Well, the pool is all yours if you want to go for a swim. As you know, Jadey, there is a bar inside if you want more drinks."

"Perrie?" I heard someone say

"Kamile, oh my god. What are you doing here?" Perrie greeted her friend, smiling.

"I'm friends with Leigh-Anne. What about you?" Kamile said

"What a small world." Perrie said, "I'm here with my girlfriend Jade; she's Leigh's best friend." Perrie said, introducing me.

"Hi, nice to meet you, Kamile." I said I was greeting her.

"Kamile works with me most of the time in the studio; she's a producer too."

"Oh, that's nice!" I said

"I'll go get myself a drink. P if you want to come by later, a couple of guys from the studio are here too." Kamile said

"Ok, be there in a minute," Perrie said, turning to me.

'Girlfriend, huh?" I asked

"Sorry, it just slipped out. Not that I wouldn't want it to be true."

"Are you asking me to be your girlfriend, Edwards?" I said, smirking.

"Only if you're saying yes" she answered.

"I'm saying yes" I responded and then leaned in, so we could share a kiss. After we pulled away, we chatted a little more, and Perrie said that she would go say hi to her friends.

I stayed there a little bit talking to Zach when I noticed that Perrie had taken her top off and was now only wearing her bikini top and shorts.

"Oh fuck!" I exclaimed

"What is it?" Zach asked

"I need to find Leigh-Anne." I said and ran to find her. I saw her by the pool and grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing, Jade?" She asked, confused, while I dragged her inside the house.

We went inside her room, and I closed the door. "It's her, Leigh; I can't fucking believe this."

"It's her what, Jade? What are you talking about?"

"Perrie... she's Jasmine's mom."

"Wait, what?" Leigh was shocked.

"I don't know if you remember what I told you when you asked me if I contacted the girl that got me pregnant."

"You told me that you didn't because you knew nothing about her."

"Yes, but there were two important things I knew about her."

"Which was?"

"She had a scar in her stomach and a tattoo with the year 1965." I guided Leigh to the window, so she could see Perrie outside.

"Holy shit." She said, covering her mouth with her hands.

"Holy shit indeed" I said
