SHE!

143

*Yasmin POV*

I got home around 1 AM instead of 9 PM, I closed the front door slowly so I wouldn't wake up anyone and removed my shoes. I walked into the open plan turned on the lights and sat down my bag on the chair, I sighed and walked over to the fridge to make Aaliyah's lunch but as soon as I opened the fridge I saw that it was already ready which made me smile so I closed the fridge again and turned to check that she did her HW so I grabbed her bag and it was all done so I put them aside and grabbed my phone to go upstairs.

I turned off the lights, switched on the alarm and walked upstairs. I walked into Aaliyah's room slowly to tuck her in and kiss her, Rihno was by her side as the others were now outside in their own house that Zayn built for them.

I sat down slowly on her side seeing her peacefully sleeping with the soft toy that Zayn brought her. I leaned down and kissed her cheek and covered her a bit "I love you" I whispered sitting up and patting Rihno and walking out to go into our room

As I walked into our bedroom, Zayn was fast asleep so I grabbed my PJs without making a noise and went to take a quick shower.

I feel guilty that I came home late, I know Zayn ate over at Jack's house cause I saw a message but I didn't have a chance to reply or tell him that I would be home late. I undressed and walked into the shower which felt amazing after those hours of non-stop talking and rehearsals.

After I was done, I walked out and dried myself, put on my PJs washed my teeth and walked back to the bed getting in slowly.

"You're finally back" I jumped looking at Zayn "Jesus! I thought you were sleeping" He shifted to check the time and heard him sigh and look back at me "Did you check for the morning?" I got closer to him putting my head on his chest, "For now I don't have anything" I whispered as he put his hand around me but not making me closer "I will wake up to drop Aaliyah off for school" I whispered closing my eyes but I got no response so he must fall back to sleep which after a couple of minutes I did the same.

"Be good, love" I kissed her cheek as she took Mason's hand I also kissed him on his cheek and they walked inside "We didn't see you yesterday" I looked at Valentina, Lilly wasn't with her she was with Jack and this morning Taryn decided to go over her family with Waylen to show them Rose and Max was with Rowana in LA.

"I had to work till late, sorry for not being there saying bye to the others" She looked at me and raised her eyebrow "You've never been like this not even when Aaliyah was younger or before you had Aaliyah. I mean you worked late yes but not all this time it's like you are in your world" I sighed and checked my phone "I have to go cause Zayn wants to go out just us" I hugged her "I will come over this weekend" She nodded and I said bye and a quick love you and walked to the car to drive off.

As I was driving the Bluetooth rang and Zayn's name popped up which I answered.

Zayn: Where are you love? 

Yasmin: On the way home

Zayn: Okay, when you arrive just wait outside for me. I love you

He hung up and I continued to drive.

When I arrived I saw Zayn waiting outside by his car so I parked and walked out "Let's go" He opened the car door for me and I walked inside which he did after a few, started the car and drove off.

"I thought we would go shopping" I smiled nodding and turned on the music "I brought a company in LA and one in Europe yesterday" I looked over at him shocked, "That's great! Proud of you!" He smiled grabbing my hand and kissing them "Thank you, baby" We continued to talk until we arrived at the mall, "We go eat breakfast and after shop?" He turned off the car and I agreed, we walked out of the car took his hand and started to walk.

"Do you think this is good for Aaliyah? For the graduation?" Showing him the dress "Yeah, that's nice! It's next week so make sure it's booked off!" My phone started to ring so I gave the dress to Zayn took it out and saw my manager was calling I looked at Zayn "Can I take it? And Zayn already told you it is booked off" He nodded and I picked up after a few seconds I hung up "Who was it?" I put my phone back into my pocket and looked at Zayn again, "I have to go for another fitting and they want me to do a last-minute photoshoot" I whispered and saw him taking a deep breath but his face changed putting back Aaliyah's dress.

"I will come with her and she chooses it, I drop you off. Tell me where" He walked past me and I followed making sure I was walking fast so I could be at his pace, "Babe, slow down" He stopped walking fast but didn't stop completely and didn't bother to look over.

We walked inside the car and told him the location. The whole drive was quiet and when we arrived I looked over at him "I will be home in the afternoon, I will tell my taxi to come for me and Valentina is going to pick Aaliyah and take her over to her so we can go over to them" He nodded not bother to look at me, "Zayn?" He looked at me and kissed my cheek "See you later" I walked out and closed the door as he drove off speeding. 

*Zayn POV*

I was over at Valentina and Jack's house cause she picked her up from school so I decided to have a long ass session with Jack at the gym after a long ass shower I decided to walk to Jack's house cause it's only a couple of minutes and Aaliyah would love to have a walk back home.

Yasmin was still not home nor called, I am pissed cause I am not an animal! I thought after London we would be better but it turned the opposite.

"Zayn?" I got out of my zoning with Valentina shaking her hand in front of my face "Huh?" She burst out laughing "I said do you want a beer?" I nodded laughing with her, "Call her, mate" I took out my phone and dialled her number and she picked up "I just arrived at Valentina's" I hung up and looked at Jack, "She's outside" I sat up and went to open the door for her "Hey, love" She kissed my lips and walked inside "MUMMY" I smiled seeing her run to her and hugging her.

"Now there's my sister" I sat down next to Jack who was holding Lilly and feeding her a bottle, I took a sip of the beer as we continued to talk and enjoy some time over.

We arrived back home and Aaliyah was taking a bath while I took a shower and Yasmin doing her lunch. After I showered I checked on Aaliyah and took her out of the bath dried her and changed her "Baba? Can we sleep outside?" I chuckled put her in her bed and switched on a movie for her "Friday after school we do it" She smiled big as Rihno jumped next to her "We come to say goodnight soon, okay?" She nodded and I walked downstairs and saw Yasmin on her Macbook with the bread sliced open and not ready so she must have been working.

"I was going to do them but they needed me to check the email" I shook my head and continued the lunch for Aaliyah. "I'm fed up with this," I told her as I was done with the lunch, "What do you mean?" She sat up and looked at me, "You didn't even bother to fucking call telling me you are finished from work, you didn't bother to message me telling me you will be arriving at almost two in the morning!" She just continued to stare at me, "Do you know that we barely saw you at home for more than an hour? Expect for today" Putting the lunchbox in the fridge, "It's my work" I looked at her laughing.

"Are you serious? I never said not to do your job! But there are limits, you have a family. I have work! For fuck sake I have my music career which I am working on and I have my company. You have your shop, yes, but you have other people working for you and I know modelling is your dream but you have never been like this" She was shocked at my sudden outburst, "Did you know that your dad called you many times and you didn't bother to pick up? Or your mom?" She didn't know what to say, "I TOLD YOU MANY TIMES, I support you! But you have changed since London" I looked at the door and saw Aaliyah with a scared face.

"Baba?" Yasmin walked to her but she ran to me leaving Yasmin shocked, I picked her up and kissed her face "Let's go continue the movie baby" I walked past Yasmin but stopped and turned to her, "We love you so damn much but don't push us away" And with that I walked upstairs with Aaliyah leaving her downstairs which made me guilty.
