Inevitable

Chapter 54

This week has been hectic as ever. Michael and I came out to everyone on Monday. It's Friday today, and everyone has been running around doing interviews all morning. The fans on twitter have been supportive of both Jess and I. The media however is saying that Jess is a money hungry, one night stand and that I used Calum to get to Michael. The only reason they assumed that is because when the boys were asked how we met, Calum told them the story of how he basically came to my rescue at the club. The media knows just about everything that happened in the beginning and the end. Nothing in the middle, no Louis, no details, no mention of Zayn leaving, nothing. They think we're living some sort of fairy tale. That's when those accusations came out. We've been accused of using their fame and money, groupies, sluts, one night stands, anything horrible you can think of, we've been called. Michael and Zayn have been there for us through all of it. I'm so thankful to have all of the boys in my life. I don't think we could do it without them.

Jess and I are pool side with Sophia, chatting about everything that's happened.

"So it's official, we are the girlfriends of two of the greatest bands in the world." Sophia sighs and adjusts her sunglasses.

"It's so relieving honestly." Jess replies and I mumble in agreement.

"Has Zayn or Mikey texted either of you yet? They should be done anytime now and we've got to get ready if they want to have dinner on time."

Jess moves her hand over her now protruding belly. "Not yet, I'm sure they're signing things for fans and taking pictures with them."

"Yeah probably, I wonder how the interview went."

"Rhenn I'm sure all of the boys talked you two up, they love you, you know? They would never try to sabotage things. I think they want the haters to accept you just as much as you guys do. Michael and Zayn are happy. I haven't seen Zayn this happy in a long time and Mikey is head over heels in love with you. He-" She claps her hand over her mouth. "Never mind."

I narrow my eyes on her. "He what...Sophia tell me or so help me God..." I sit up in my lounger to look at her.

She composes herself and simply says, "You'll find out tonight at dinner."

I look at her in shock. "Wha-what!?"

She takes of her sunglasses and looks at me softly. "Don't panic, please. It's not what you think."

I raise my eyebrows at her and wait for an explanation.

She nods her head and continues. "He's not going to ask your hand in marriage. In case that's what you were thinking."

I wasn't but that pang of disappointment still hurt. It's not like I want to follow in every footstep of Jess because I don't. I want him to have his own idea's. But knowing that isn't it, still hurts a little. I would marry him in a heartbeat.

"He's going to ask you a question though, I promised I wouldn't say anything. So, please don't make me, you know I'm not good with secrets." She pleaded.

I giggled and nodded my head in agreement. "Alright, alright. You don't have tell me. I'm nervous as hell though."

I rubbed my hand up and down my arm to settle myself.

Jess grabbed my hand to stop my movements. "Rhenn, Don't stress it. Everything will be fine. He's not going to make a scene about it. He's going to ask you privately."

I let out a relieved sigh, he knows I hate crowds. "Okay." I lean back into my chair an face the sun, once more.

We hear familiar laughter and we look to our left and see the boys laughing about something. We all turn back towards the sun and wait for them to approach.
