Our Turn

Chapter 2

- PERRIE -

I'm the first one to step out of the car. I manage to get out quite beautifully, and I fix my braids as I wait for the other girls to hop out. When they do, we start to walk down the red carpet. As usual there are flashes from cameras every second, and, as usual, I try my best not to fall. It would be so embarrassing for them to capture that on camera.

When we stop to pose for photos, I feel Jade grabbing my hand. At first, I'm about to cut loose from her soft grip, but then I notice that she's holding hands with Leigh as well. Therfore, I let her hold my hand and I grab Jesy's hand in my right one. I smize to the cameras and try to look as hot as I can. Meanwhile, all that is in my head is Jade's hand holding mine and how great it feels.

After letting the paparazzis photographing us we reach the journalists. They all stand in rows on both sides of the carpet. A man with beard and sunglasses direct us to the left side and we walk over to the journalist and camera man to answer their questions.

"Hey girls!" the woman happily greets us when we 've approached her.

"Hey!" the four of us smile bog at her. She starts with complementing our outfits which is always nice to hear. Then she asks us about our new album and what songs we like the most. Those kind of questions we've answered about twenty times already this month.

"Well, we all know you, Jesy and Leigh-Anne, have boyfriends, but how about you, Jade and Perrie? When will we see you two dating, huh?" the journalist asks. She's smiling like she has the entire time she has interviewed us, but neither me nor Jade is smiling right now.

My eyes meet Jade's and for a millisecond we mentally scream to each other in panic. What can we answer? We know we obviously can't tell her the truth, so what lie will we tell?

"You'll see in a while." Jesy giggles to save Jade and I.

"Wow! Is that a hint of one of you having a boyfriend...?" the woman asks and holds the microphone in front of mine and Jade's faces. I nervously laugh as Jade just agrees with Jesy: "You'll see." She smiles, but I guess she's feeling the same as me on the inside: panic.

How will we solve this situation? Now she thinks one of us has a secret boyfriend, and when this interview is released the whole world will know.

Thankfully, the woman is done with the interview and we can continue with someone else. We thank her and find our way to a new journalist.

"How do you girls think we will solve this small problem?" Mark Jones, our management boss, asks us. He insisted on calling us today, a few days after the award show, to tell us what a mistake we did.

"We have apologized, Jones. We panicked!" Jesy defends us.

"Excuses, Jesy, that's what you're on with. The video is out and we have to tackle this. Me and my crew will figure out a solution for you." he says in a tone of annoyance. I don't think he has ever liked us four girls. "You need to come back to London for a meeting. We'll let you know when to come over to our office. Bye."

He hangs up without leaving a single second for us to respond.

"What?!" Leigh loudly complains.

"This is not going to be any good, I know that." Jade sighs. "Jones never liked us."

"Yeah." I sigh. I'm worried about what he'll tell us to do, what his solution to this will be. Like Jade, I'm sure it's not going to be any good, because good is not what Mark Jones has done for us before.

"Okay, girls! I don't want to think about Jones right now. I think we should find something to drink and have a fun night." Jesy suggests. We all agree. Tonight we have a free night, so why not celebrate?

Jesy calls room service. "Hello? I would like to order some wine up to our room. Yeah one red and one white." She looks at Leigh and does a 'thumbs-up' sign, because she knows white wine is her favorite. Leigh jokingly winks at Jesy and giggles.

"Thanks. Yeah, we'd like some strawberries up here as well. Can you dip them in chocolate? Great. Room 704. Thank you." Jesy finishes and hangs up.

"Yes!" Jade cheers. "This is going to be the night, girls."

We laugh and then wait for our order to arrive. When it does, about 10 minutes later, we start celebrating.

Jade puts on some music on her phone and turns the volume up as high as possible. We sing along and drink wine as we just have a great time together. Time passes and soon it's almost 1 a.m.

"Maybe we should go to sleep." Jesy suggests with a giggle.

"Yeah. We're supposed to be up at... 7, right?" Leigh asks as she drinks up the last of the wine in her glass.

"Yep. It's gonna be early." With those words, Jesy stands up to walk back into her room. "Nighty."

"Goodnight, Jes." the three of us says, and she's out of the room.

"I'm going to sleep as well. Good night."

"Good night." Jade and I say in chorus. I blow a kiss to Leigh, who just laughs.

And so, Jade and I are alone in her bedroom.

"Aren't you supposed to leave as well?" Jade smirks.

"You know, I'm so tired I can barely walk."

"Wow..." she nods. "I guess you could sleep here then."

"I think I could." I nod in agreement. "Sounds quite okay actually."

"Great." Jade smiles. "I know what we could do before bedtime."

"Then let me know." I sit down on the edge of the big, soft bed and lean back on my arms.

"Well..." Jade stands up from the armchair two metres away and slowly approaches me. "I'd like to kiss..." She leans over me and places her soft lips on mine. It feels amazing. I put my arms around her neck and lean back so I lay on the bed.

"What do you want to do next?" I ask inbetween kisses.

"Oh, you'll see." she smiles and kisses me again.
