Protection, Zack Merrick, All Time Low

Kimberly

"Hello, I'm Kimberly, I suppose you can call me Kim, and I'm All Time Lows new manager," I tell 5sos' manager, Adam.

"Nice to meet you, this is Calum, Ashton, Luke, and Mike."

"It is nice to meet you bunch, I have heard great things." I smile. "You know my boys, Alex, Rian, Jack, and Zack." I point at them.

"We do know them. Have met and toured together." Ashton says. I nod and work hard to understand his accent. I have to do that with American ones too.

"Our first show is tomorrow evening, and sound check is at noon." I tell the guys looking at the scedule Adam handed me.

They nod and Zack wraps his arm around me, probably because Adam and Michael are looking at me like I'm a piece of meat.

"Now, shall we eat?" Luke coughs, and we nod, Zack grabs my hand.

We go into the resturaunt and Zack sits beside me and so does Alex, "What is going on?" Alex whispers and asks me.

I pull out my phone and shoot him a quick text, "Mik and Adam are looking at me like I am meat and it makes me uncomfortable and Zack knows it."

"I don't think I've heard of you before," Calum comments, "Are you new in the industry, Kim?"

"Yes, I am. I'm Alexs' younger sister, so I've been bossing him around a while, I just wanted to get out of Manchester, and they had an opening after Flyzik, so I took it, and I suppose I'm doing a well job. I arranged this tour from my home in Manchester, and all of that." I explain.

Cal nods, "That is great, I think you're doing an amazing job."

"Is Zack your boyfriend?" Luke asks.

I don't know what we are. I look to Zack, "Yes, I am." Zack says with a smile and then brings my hand up and kisses it. I guess he's my boyfriend.

I blush and they nod, starting to talk about other subjects like touring and new albums.

I've never been much of a fan of 5 Seconds Of Summer, but the guys are fun to look at.

I ponder how Lisa is doing and pray she is doing okay.

Zack rubs my leg under the table, and I blush hard as it's an innocent gesture and not how I figured most guys would kesp running higher up my leg, Zack didn't go higher, in a way, though. I wanted him to. I wanted him to have his way with me, I'm just not ready.

Luckily, this morning I started my period. In glad I wore something otherwise that would have been very embarassing.

I'm relieved I'm not pregnant with Dennys child.
