Truth (Chim)

Chapter 57

Cheryl's POV

Tonight has been the first results show and all my girls got through to next week.

Unfortunately one of Louis groups were voted out, but it's not like we went expecting it. They didn't do good last night so we could tell that they were gonna go soon.

I've just said goodbye to Katie and Kimba and I'm now on my way to a meeting.

Every Sunday after the live show and after we have filmed our part on the Xtra factor we always had a meeting about the up coming week and song choices.

Me, Simon, Mel and Louis were the only ones in this meeting and it took place in Simon's dressing room.

We spend about 10 minutes talking about the songs our contestants plan to sing next week and about another hour talking about anything that we think of.

We usually talk about how the weekend has gone, how all the contestants are and of course there's usually a bit of alcohol.

We find it funnier when we have alcohol because nobody cares what anyone else says.

Seeing as the meeting is a judges only thing, Kim and Katie would have had to wait in my dressing room but we decided that seeing as it is a Sunday and Katie should be at college on the Monday they would go home and I would meet them at home after my meeting.

I entered Simon's dressing room to see all the other judges sat waiting for me.

We spend the next 10 minutes having the song choice talk before Simon stands up to get a drink and I realise he's got more alcohol than normal.

"Simon, how much alcohol did you get?"

"I know I got a lot but it's the first week and I found a new drink that I really like and wanted you to try."

"What's it like?"

"It's got a strawberry flavour to it but it's really strong, it gets you drunk quickly."

"Bring it on." I laughed at Mel's comment before looking at the colour of the liquid Simon had given me in a glass.

"This doesn't look nice."

"Come on chez, drink it.

"Alright, but I'm not having too much, I don't want to go home drunk."

Kim's POV

After tucking Katie in and staying with her for a few minutes she had soon fallen asleep and I made my way downstairs to wait for Cheryl to come home.

I had just sat on the sofa when I heard my phone ringing in my pocket.

I took it out, smiled and answered it once I realised it was Cheryl calling me.

"Kimbaaaa..."

She sounded very happy on the other end of the phone but I couldn't figure out why at the moment.

"Hey baby, what's up?"

"Well, I missed you, I was thinking about you on the way home so I wanted to ring you."

I couldn't help but smile at her cute answer even though she couldn't see that I was smiling. I was able to understand why she was so happy now, I could hear it in her voice, she was drunk.

It was times like this that I was glad we had a driver that took us to and from the X factor studios, at least I knew she wasn't drinking and driving while ringing me.

I know that Cheryl isn't the type of person to do something like that but my overprotective mind still worries about her.

"Aww babe, I missed you too, how far away are you?"
