We were in the middle of eating breakfast when dad's phone rang.

He looks down at his phone and frowns.

"You okay dad?" I ask after swallowing.

"Huh? Yeah. Let me take this real quick love, and I will be right back, okay?" he says as he gets out of his seat.

"Yeah sure." I respond, and take another bite of pancake.

He quickly walks away and answers his phone.

*Zayn's POV*

I quickly answered the call from management.

"Simon you know that I'm on vacation with my daughter right now, I told you to call me if it was dyer need, now what is it?" I snapped, only wanting to get back to my loving daughter, who was now currently eating breakfast alone.

"We need you to come back to the studio and finish your recordings and we have a meeting for the upcoming tour." He says sternly.

"Simon I already told you that I would finish up my recordings once I got back to London after my trip! You know how important this trip is to my daughter and I! I'm not coming back to England until the end of my trip, I just got to Australia!" I nearly yell through the phone.

"Zayn do you really want to disappoint your fans?" he throws in my face cockily.

"Your really going to pull that card on me again? The fans don't know that we are recording unless we post about it on social media. The album doesn't come out till November and as of current from what I fucking know, it's fucking June!"

"Zayn you need to come back to England now, sometimes, work is more important than family, and if we start planning the tour without you, we will not make any changes to it once you get back from your trip. You are the only one who needs to finish your recordings, and then we can put the album into the process now instead of later." Simon says with annoyance in his voice.

I paused and listened to what he had to say. There was no way in hell, that I was going to choose work over my family.

"I promised my daughter that I would give her an adventure of a life time and you just want me to break that promise that I'm supposed to keep?"

"Yes. Sometimes promises are meant to be broken." He says stonily.

"Zayn I swear to god if you aren't in London by tomorrow then I will come and get you myself." He threatens.

"Fuck." I sigh out.

"Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. But if I leave tonight and crush my daughter's dreams, you are fucking paying me back." I snarl out.

"And what would I be giving back to you Zayn" he asks.

"You are allowing my daughter to come on tour with myself and the boys all year long. She can help out with the designing that I do."

"Okay. She can come. Which daughter is this again? Anna?"

"No! Rochelle. Rochelle is coming with me."

"That's a surprise you barely talk to or about that kid." He laughs.

"Shut the fuck up Simon, I will rip your balls off when I get there." I Snarled out again.

"Geeze I was kidding but whatever. Be here tomorrow by 10 o'clock the latest" he says,

"Whatever bye." I hung up and sighed loudly. I walk back over to our table and Roxy still had a plate full of food,

"How come you didn't finish eating darling?" I asked her, quickly calming down.

"I wanted to wait for you." She says with a smile.

I smiled back, but it soon turned to a frown,

"Roxy... I have to tell you something.." I say.

"What is it? Is everything okay?" she asks worriedly.

"Yeah.. I suppose.. Look... I just got a call from Simon back in London.. and he wants me to go back to London tonight with you.."

I look at her and he has tears pooling in her eyes,

"Oh... Okay." She whimpers.

I deeply frown and walk over to her and pull her into a tight hug,

"I'm so sorry baby, I tried my hardest to tell him that there was no way that I was coming back home, but he wouldn't stop." I felt so terrible to take away this amazing opportunity from my little girl.

"It's... it's okay dad, lets just get our stuff and head to the air airport.." she says softly.

"Doll I still have something to tell you.."  I say with a small smile.

"what is it now?" she asks sounding heart broken.

I frown and sigh, "Simon agreed to let me bring you along with me and your uncles on tour with us this year, and we want you to help me with the designs of the stage and the big screens."

She gasps, "NO WAY."

"YES WAY" I yell back with a smile.

"OH MY GOD!" she squeals and hugs me.

"Come on! Get up! We need to go and get our stuff and we need to get to the airport right away! I can't believe this is happening, Praise Allah!!"

I smile wide and laugh out loud,

"Alright then, lets go!" we run up to our hotel room, gather all of our belongings, and check out of the hotel within 15 minutes. We then got into a taxi and made our way to the airport.

We arrived at the airport within another 10 minutes, and we went through security quickly.

We both were speed walking to our terminal when she said to me,

"This isn't all that bad to be honest, I get to travel the world now with my most favorite people. We are coming back to Australia right?"

"Yes we will defiantly be touring Australia this year, for you." I say with a smile and kiss the top of her head.

Just for her.
