Just Another Girl In The Crowd

PART 16

I can't do this. My palms begin to sweat as the familiar faces glare at me.
I shut the door behind me, tension filling the air and almost suffocating me.

"Seski?" A stern, Australian voice asks.
I glance at Calum, who is staring at me hard.

"Calum." I bluntly reply, breaking his stare. "We need to get on with this shoot." I mutter and sassily stride past them,
setting up the shoot and my camera.

"So what sort of look are we going for?" I ask them, trying to break a bit of tension.

"Well, Seski, we want to look punk." Michael obliviously says, not realising I'm the girl he met a few years ago. Mia-Annabella.

"Alright, so can you just get into a natural position and Ashton, maybe take your drum sticks into the first photo?" I ask.

He nods and they all get in front of the camera, Luke taking his guitar and licking the side. Fuck that is hot.
I bend down and look through the lens, quickly snapping a few photos before Calum walks over to me.

"You've not changed much." He awkwardly says to me, staring at my chest.

"Neither have you." I reply, bringing his attention to my face.

Our eyes meet and my heart flutters slightly.

"I need to talk to you." He demands quietly.

I nod. "I agree."

Does he know about Jacob? Is that what he wants to talk about? But how would he know about Jakey? No one knows really.

"Come back to my place after the shoot?" I ask, smirking slightly.

"I like the sound of that." He smirks back at me, making my heart flutter once more.

Maybe we can reignite our spark. Hopefully. I've changed. I'm not an identity thief anymore. I'm just Seski. Plain, old Seski. The local photographer with money. The 19 year old mother to a beautiful, clever three year old boy.

"NEXT POSE!" I call to them, as Calum returns to the scene and grabbing his bass.

He thrusts against it sexily as the other boys pose for photos. He stares at the guitar as if it were a woman before smirking at me. I continue snapping pictures as he smirks at me, before they get into a final group photo.
They all grin and wrap their arms round each other as I snap the photo.

"Will these be okay?" I ask and flick through the photos with them.

"Yeah they're rad. Thanks." They chorus.

"You seem familiar..." Luke mutters.

Yeah. Yeah that's actually because I'm the girl that you fucked when she didn't want to. I'm that girl.
I think.

"Oh, um yeah you've probably seen someone like me before." I reply and look round to see Calum staring at my chest again.

I uncomfortably pull my dress up, trying to cover more of my cleavage.

"No, you even sound familiar. I don't know, it's stupid." Luke laughs.

"Yeah you've never met me, I'm just a photographer." I giggle and stand up, them standing up afterwards.

I show them to the door, Calum hanging back.

"Wheyy, get in there Calum." Ashton smirks as they leave.

"I'll meet you later." Calum shouts after them.

I shut the door behind them and look at Calum.

He puts his arms either side of me, pinning me to the door with his body. Slowly, he leans in and kisses me, making my stomach fill with butterflies.
The kiss gets way more heated and I pull away from him.

"Not here." I whisper and pull his hand out of my dress.

He groans and I open the door, leading him to the car and driving him back to my place. I call Jacob's sitter to pick him up from school in about two hours. I need to sort this shit out with Calum.
We sit on my large sofa, well I say we, Calum is sitting on the sofa, I'm on his lap, looking into his eyes. His hands rest comfortably on my lower back.

"Can we finish what we started, baby?" He smirks at me.

Jacob will be home soon. I can't do that... I'm meant to be a responsible mother.
I put my finger on his lips and smirk.

"I'm not that easy, work for it and then maybe. What did you want to talk to me about?" I whisper into his ear and sit beside him.

He pulls away from me and tuts.

"For fuck sake." He groans and tries to hide his boner.

I blush slightly.

"I wanted to ask you how you've been doing. How everything's going. I wanted to know if you have a boyfriend." Calum mumbles.

"I've been doing will thanks, yeah me and Jacob-" I soon realise I mentioned Jacob.
Fuck.

"Who's Jacob?" He asks quickly.

"Um." I stutter.

He looks me in the eye.

"You dirty skank. You have a boyfriend and we nearly fucked?!" He barks,
standing up.

"No!! It's not like that! Sit down!" I shout and pull him back down.

He sits beside me and glares at me.

"What is it like then?" He angrily asks.

Panic fills me and I begin to breath quickly.

"He's my son." I manage to spit.

Calum frowns.

"W-Wait what?" He manages to blurt.

I put my head down and shake it slightly. I can't tell him. He'll be so angry...

"Is he mine...?" He slowly asks, raising my face.

I look at him with teary eyes.

"Answer me." Calum demands. "Is he mine?" He repeats.

A small tear falls quickly from my eye, racing down my face. It falls into my mouth, the salt stinging my dry lips.

"ANSWER ME!" He shouts.

I shake and nod slightly
He pulls away from me and puts his head in his hands.

"How old is he? Are you sure he's mine?" Calum asks anxiously.

I wipe my eyes and look away, pulling my phone out of my pocket and showing Calum my lock screen of Jacob.

"He's three. He looks exactly like you, Calum. You and Luke are the only people I've had sex with in my life and he can't be Luke's. Look at his nose, eyes and hair. He looks exactly you." I murmur and glare at him.

He stares at my lock screen, tears filling his eyes.

"I have a son..." He quietly whispers.

I shouldn't have told him...
