Little Things

Chapter 2: Speak Now

JAY'S POV

"Bye guys! See you lot on Monday!"

There was a chorus of goodbyes before I walked through the turnstiles and out of Syco.

I got into my car and turned on the ignition.

I am really excited for this dinner. I haven't been spending much time with the lads lately due to my excessive workload. The last time I went out to dinner was with some important colleagues. To set up a new branch somewhere in Sweden. Apparently there have been a growing number of new artists there so we want to give them an opportunity to get to the top.

I turned off the ignition and got out of the car.

I locked it and walked up my porch.

"Stella? Are you still here?"

"Yes Jay I'm just about to leave"

"Have you taken your pay check? I left it on the counter"

"Yep I have"

"Alright then. You can go. And thank you hunny, the house looks amazing"

"No worries Jay! Bye!"

"Bye" I said as the door closed.

Stella is my helper. Although I don't really treat her like one. She comes over every weekday to clean up as I really don't have the time to do so.

Sometimes when she's over, I'll get her to have dinner with us. The kids really adore her so it's all good. She's a good friend as well, good for watching sappy movies with a tub of ice cream.

"Cause I know is we said hello, your eyes look like coming home all I know-"

My phone started vibrating in my hands.

"Hello?

"JAY!"

"GEM!"

"JAY!"

"OMG GEM YOU'RE BACK?!"

"SURE AM!"

"OMG I MISS YOU LIKE SO MUCH"

"ME TOO!"

"How was it back there?!" I asked after I calmed down.

"It was amazeballs like I have so much to tell you!"

"The kids, me and the lads are going for dinner! I'll meet you at Louis's place in an hour? It's that okay?!"

"Of course! I"ll be there! I bought lots of toys for the kids!"

"Oh Gem are you trying to kill me?! The play room is already filled with toys!"

"They're kids love! Anyways I'll see you soon ok!"

"Alright hun. Bye!"

"Bye!"

Then the phone went dead.

Gem went to take up a course to pursue her career in Manchester for the past 2 months and she's finally back!

Lots of catching up to do.

I went straight up to my bedroom and plucked in my iPhone to the speakers as they started blasting out my favorite playlist.

Hopefully the neighbors like the songs.

I took a slow relaxing shower and let the jets hit my body.

Lovely.

I got out and wrapped my hair in a towel. Like a turban. I dried myself as applied some moisturizer before I put on a lacy black top with translucent sleeves that stopped at my elbow and put on a red high waisted skirt.
