Adele Please Say That You Love Me

The Scars Of Your Love (2)

Jess's POV

I turned to Mum who was beginning to get tense, this man just kept looking at me, Mum and the ring, THE RING. Maybe it's that Alex Sturrock bitch, a.k.a 'Mr 21', Nah, Nah he looks too old. But. He could just be one of those people who age really, really fast. Nooo. I mean it could be him. But then again what a way to meet him, wedding dress shopping for Mum's one true love, Dad. Wait, Dad? What if it's Mark. What if it is her Dad. My Grandad. I don't think he knows about me. I sure he does. The Media. But Mum hasn't talked to him since, well, since forever. Or it could be-. I was soon snapped back out of my thoughts when Mum began to speak.

"Hello, Dad" Oh the anger in her voice, she was NOT happy to see him. Don't blame her to be honest.

"Hello Delly, how nice it is to meet you and I see that you are-" he expressed cheerfully fixating his eyes on the ring. He was the only cheerful one now. Not even Faith was happy.

"Don't you every think about calling me Delly again, so what I am engaged, I'm happy. I found my happiness without your help, so please leave", Mum's teeth were tightly gritted, I grabbed her hand to comfort her, she just squeezed my hand. A tear slowly fell from her eye, this man wasn't moving I had to do something, what do I call him, Grandad, Mark, Bitch, Bastard, Wanker, umm?

"Excuse me, sir, can you not see you are not wanted here, you really should go and leave my Mum alone, she doesn't need you messing up today. So please leave" I sternly said pointing to the door with the hand that still wasn't tightly grasped by Mum still. I know all she wanted was not to make a scene, luckily it was fairly quiet in here. He turned and began to leave before suddenly stopping.

"Mum??" He questioned with a confused just happy look on his face.

"Ummm yes, so, bye, it was nice to meet you, but you better be going" I swiftly followed up now rising from my seat. Proceeding to shake his hand before yet again pointing at the door. This time he left with a questionable look on his face, what was up with his man I honestly don't know. He seemed kind of rude personally. I didn't like him. I was happy to observe the place stayed relatively quiet. Which Mum was happy about, very happy, after all, meeting him was enough bad things to happen today, today out of all days. I don't even know why he is here he lives in Wales, and we are not in Wales currently. Oh well. I sat back down slowly before, pulling Mum into my embrace.

"Thank you, Jess, for getting rid of him before he started to invite himself to the wedding I really don't want him there" the words only just managed to leave her lips.

"Yeah thanks, Jess, it was a little awkward to see him again after so long" Nan began to speak, shit I forgot she was here, it must have been bad for her too, seeing the man who left her and Mum, when Mum was only 2/3. Slowly Mums arms began to fall off my body, then she began to start eating her meal again, I don't blame her, I was hungry too! I thought before I eat I better run over and give Nan a hug too she must have needed one right?

Adele's POV

We all finished, I needed ice-cream so bad, so I just brought us all McFlurries, as you do. They were swiftly all gone, so we left. Shit. Shit. Shit. When Jess told HIM to leave I am sure she didn't mean wait outside for us. We all just walked by him, I usually didn't call Pete for backup seems I was with so many people so, but this fucking man. Uuurrgh. Pete was on call if I told him I was going out. As I've said before the paps don't tend to bother me anymore and people respect my privacy, they have a photo and go, my Daydreamers call them Adelefies, creative.

*Calls Pete*

P: Hello boss, do you require assistance, I'm not near your house right now so, I might not be able to assist you.

A: Perfect, I'm still wedding dress shopping, you know where I am so are you close?

P: I am actually, where a bouts are you and what is the problem.

A: The nearest McDonald's near the dress boutique, it's umm... my Dad.

P: I'm on my way.

A: Okay call me when you get here, we had a little encounter in McDonald's, Jess managed to get him to leave but he just waited for us outside.

P: Okay, bye, I'll call you when I'm close, just don't go anyplace that could give away the wedding or your car, etc.

A: Sure thing. Thanks, Pete!

*Hangs Up*

"He'll be here in a minute we just need to stay safe" I whispered just loud enough so everyone could hear. We all ran into Victoria Secret, not the best choice of store, with a 10-year-old, but we hoped we would get a bit of space. Yeah, we did, but not for long, my DAD followed me into Victoria Secret? Really? Okay then. I decided to buy some underwear and some bras because why not? Just because my Dad is following me doesn't mean I can't buy some stuff. I like shopping, so just because my Dad happens to be watching doesn't mean I can't buy some necessities.

"Where is Pete at?" Beth whispered to me.

"I really don't know but I think we should be heading to another shop this is getting a bit uncomfortable" I replied and Laura nodded. We headed to a pet shop, we needed some more dog treats and I wanted to buy some more toys for Daniel and Louie. Surprise, surprise my Dad is still following me...

I get a text from Pete...

I'm outside the pet shop opposite the McDonald's, where are you?

I reply...

In the pet shop :) please hurry, it is getting a little creepy now...

I gaze over to the door and see Pete and another bodyguard, I sighed in relief! However but this creep was approaching me and I just froze. Flashbacks of him before he left, that night, that fucking night, about 10 years ago when he found me, when I was 22 when I went for a walk after writing 'Someone Like You'. Ffffuuuuuccccckkkk. I scream in my head. Simon still doesn't know, I've kept it from him that long, I need to tell him, though, I am just scared that he won't love me the way he does now, or trust me. Even worse he'll leave me, won't marry me. What if... my thoughts were cut when I felt a familiar grasp on my hand.
