Little Secrets - Sequel to Nobody Knows

Chapter Four

Fern here! Sorry for the late update. :( But it's something, right? Heh. (I've been busy, sorry!) I've kind of got a tiny bit of a life now and a sudden chance at getting a girlfriend (don't be judgemental, I'm bi, get over it.)

Aurora's POV

"Eddy!"

Swinging the door open, I grab for him hastily and grin as I do so. He starts pressing his cheeks (that are very cold) against the back of my neck, making me shiver and squirm. He laughs.

I can feel Zayn (along with Jenny and Nat) staring at our weird little cuddle/hug thing, and that makes me remember that Jackii's right behind Eddy, causing me to roll my eyes at my own stupidity, considering my face is towards him, so I should've been able to see him the whole time.

Unclasping myself from Eddy, I smile even wider, and hold my arms open for Jackii. He seems a little bit wary, but come on - who wouldn't want to hug this?

He eventually steps forward and gives me a shy little squeeze of a hug which almost makes me cringe. He's very shy. How the hell did Eddy manage to break him?

That reminds me-- have they had sex yet?

Stop it, Aurora. Enough of that. Naughty.

Pulling myself together, I squeeze him reassuringly and get him to crack a smile.

"Hi Jackii. These are my friends." I move aside, waving my arm as if I was displaying a show home. "Zayn," I point to my boyfriend, "Jenny," point to said girl, "and Nat."

He gives them a cute little wave and I can see Eddy grin in my peripheral vision. Aw! How adorable are they?

"So, uh, make yourself at home, engagees." I have no idea if that's a real word or not, but now it is to me.

They both blush and politely sit down on the loveseat, across from Zayn and I. I can see their hands eventually drift towards each other and clasp, warming my heart. Who'dve known that a "hot waitor guy" would eventually become Eddy's husband. SQUEE.

"So how long have you mates been together?" Zayn asks nicely as I poke his side, making his voice break a bit in the middle. One point for me.

"Um, a little over... six months? Maybe more. We got together just before you and Rora did." Eddy replies, a bit proud.

My sock is falling down, so I take my time in rolling it up and letting Jackii, Eddy, and Zayn have their own little bro-talk.

I try not to eavesdrop, but I can't help it, and in my side vision, neither can Jenny or Nat.

"So, what's it like? Do you get a lot of hate, or do people kind of just smile and nod?" Zayn asked that.

It surprises me when Jackii pipes up.

"Nah, actually. I'm actually going to say considering you and Aurora are a famous celebrity couple, you get a lot more hate than we do altogether."

Wow, okay. One point for Jackii.

"Alright mate, I was just trying to be friendly." Zayn tries to back down and stop the inferno, but Jackii keeps on going.

"No, actually. I don't understand why you think me and Ed would have such hate? I mean, we're gay. Okay. But you and your bandmates get a lot more threats saying you're gay then we do, and we look a bit more gay than any normal bloke hanging around."

Zayn just nods reassuringly.

"Touche, mate. I take all of it back. I'm glad you guys are happy." I can practically hear the small bit of worry in his voice.

That scares me, because Zayn never backs down like that.

"Thanks."

Eddy brings himself to present, I guess trying to ease the waters.

"Hey, Rora. I'm gonna say we have to go. Jackii and I need to get some shopping done. We just wanted to swing by and let you see for yourself." Jackii curtly nods and stands up, pulling Eddy with him.

"Bye."

What's stuck up his ass? (That's not meant to be a pun, I promise.)

"Alright, okay. Bye. See you guys sometime around?" I smile politely. They just nod.

They slowly step out of the flat and we all kind of just look at each other. Jenny and Zayn are starting to sober up from the serious moment and are making silly faces at each other and giggling. Nat's playing with some sort of ornament she found somewhere, and I'm, well, observing everyone.

But Jenny's the first to say something.

"Well that was fucked up."

I completely agree.

　

　Heh... okay bye. This is... awkward... this'll be our little secret...
