Torn - Katy Perry | The Epilogue

Katy.

Katy sat on the sofa, put her feet up and turned the TV on.

She had just put her daughter, Emryss, down for an afternoon nap.

She looked over and saw she left her coffee on the counter.

"Rih?" She called out.

Rihanna came rushing in. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"Could you get me my coffee please?" Katy said, making puppy eyes.

"Fuck off!" Rihanna replied, laughing.

"Pleaseeeee?" Katy pushed.

Rihanna rolled her eyes and grabbed the cup, handing it to Katy without much persuading.

She sat down next to her.

It was the 1st of December 2017, 5 years since Katy and Cheryl had first got engaged.

She remembered the day like it was yesterday.

"It's beautiful!" Cheryl exclaimed, holding up her hand in front of her face to admire the ring.

"It took me a lifetime to find that one, I saw you eyeing it up last week when we were shopping and I thought there would be no better time than now to propose, so when I went back it wasn't there anymore so I-" Katy said but was cut up.

"Shut up and kiss me." Cheryl said, grabbing Katy's face and kissing her.

"Shall we have pizza tonight?" Rihanna suggested.

"The tour begins next week." Katy replied.

"And?" Rihanna said.

"And I don't want to be a walking lump! It's alright for you, you didn't carry a baby for 9 months." Katy said.

"2 years ago..." Rihanna replied.

"I'd love to have seen you do it." Katy said.

"I told you I would." Rihanna said.

"But I knew you wouldn't want to really, I did it for us." Katy replied.

Rihanna shrugged.

"What should we eat then?" She asked, changing the subject as per usual.

The pair were starting their joint world tour next week, the world had gone crazy when they'd announced it and every single date had sold out within 2 hours.

"I'm not hungry." Katy replied.

"Why don't we go out?" Rihanna suggested.

"And what about Emryss..." Katy said.

"Shannon?" Rihanna replied.

"She's in America until the tour...I told you this." Katy snapped, getting frustrated.

Katy and Rihanna had moved over to the UK permanently a few years ago after they found they liked their lifestyle better over here.

"Sorry, I was just trying to have us do something nice, you know, before the tour gets us worn out." Rihanna said, putting her hand on Katy's thigh.

Katy brushed it away. 

"Wow, what's wrong with you?" Rihanna asked, feeling slightly scolded.

"Nothing." Katy replied, bluntly.

"If you say so." Rihanna said, getting up and walking into the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Cheryl said, lifting Katy's chin with her hand.
