Hey guys, so sorry I haven't updated for a while but I've had major writers block. I had to force myself to write this so I'm sorry if it's not the best. It's kind of an important chapter but alot of it is just leading up to a bigger part ;) so on with the show....
When we got back stage we were greeted by a body guard who escorted us to the boy’s dressing room. I knocked on the door to make sure it was safe to go in, don’t want Emma seeing anything she shouldn’t. Someone yelled for us to come in so I slowly opened the door and peaked inside. The boys were standing there talking, but when they heard me open the door they all stared in my direction. They all had confused looks on their face and were looking at me as if I was crazy.
“Uh you can come in” Niall said in his charming Irish accent
I walked in and set Emma down, she immediately ran for Zayn. He bent down and opened his arms, as she ran into them he enclosed them around her and picked her up. He swirled her around and she giggled. I was still nervous that Zayn would figure out she was his; I could only pray to god that he didn’t.
“Hello love” he said and kissed her on the cheek “and hello to you Jessie” he winked
“Oh hello Zayn”
“Wait” Harry interjected “You two know each other”
“Oh yeah we go way back, she is the one I told you about” He quickly replied. Harry leaned over and whispered to the other boys and they all left.
“So how have you been Jessie” He asked nonchalantly
“Oh uh I’ve been good. I’ve been busy taking care of Emma; the life of a single mother is a hard one”
“Oh I see” His eyes widened at the “single mother” part “so the dad isn’t in the picture”
“Nope” I said popping the P
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, what happened?”
“I don’t really wanna talk about it”
“Oh that understandable, so how old is she”
“3 ½ she will be 4 next month” shit he is so going to find out
“Oh so I see it didn’t take you long to move on” he chuckled but I could still sense the pain; if only I could tell him
“Oh no I got drunk” I lied “it was an accident. But I love my daughter; I couldn’t imagine life without her”
Emma had fallen asleep on Zayn’s shoulder so he laid her down on the little couch and walked over to me so we were only inches apart. Some of my hair had fallen in my face so he reached up and tucked it behind my ear. I looked up into his beautiful eyes but quickly looked away. “You are still so beautiful” he whispered which caused me to blush.
We spent hours talking and catching up. He talked about being a pop star and I talked about being a teenage mother, his life was much more interesting than mine. While I was at home being a teenage mother he was on tour singing for girls all over the world. I’m glad I never told him, if I hadn’t have kept the secret he would have never pursued his dreams; he would be stuck at home trying to raise a family.
I checked the clock and it was almost 1 a.m.
“Well it’s getting late I should probably get Emma home”
“Where do you live?”
“It’s about a 2 hour drive back home. Why?”
“Jessie I can’t let you drive that far, especially when you are tired. Just stay at the hotel with me and the boys and then you can go home in the morning”
“I don’t know…”
“Please just stay?”
He was right, I was super tired and it wasn’t safe for me to be driving home. I contemplated his offer for a few minutes before I actually accepted.
“Okay fine, but I’m leaving first thing in the morning” He nodded then went over to get Emma
“Oh I can get her”
“No it’s okay I wanna carry her. She looks like a little angel”
Oh great he has only known her for like 6 hours and he’s fallen in love. Seeing how he is with her makes me want to tell him, but I just can’t bring myself t; It would ruin his career. He is a big pop star with hundreds of screaming fans, if it came out that he had a kid it would ruin his entire image and it would affect the whole band. I will have to eventually tell him, but maybe in a few years when his career dies down a little.
We walked out of the arena and were immediately bombarded with paparazzi. Cameras were flashing and people were hollering at Zayn trying to get information from him. He tried to shield Emma and me as best as he could but with so many of them it was hard. People were shouting questions at him asking about me and Emma, if I was his girlfriend, if he was cheating on Perrie (who is Perrie?), if that was his kid, but Zayn didn’t answer any of them. I knew by tomorrow that it would be all over the tabloids that Zayn was cheating on “Perrie” and that he had a kid. But, I’m sure this sort of thing happens all the so he is used to it. Let’s just hope Zayn doesn’t start asking ME questions….
