babe
calling

Hey.

Good morning, babe.
Did you just wake up?

Yeah. Did you have fun with Gemma yesterday?

Yep, it was nice. She wanted to try a new restaurant which is why we were dressed up all fancy.

You looked good.

Thank you.

Don't smirk like that, it's very unbecoming.

You sound like a grandma, babe. Unbecoming, my arse.
You're taking the weekend off, I hope? You've been working since you got back.

I think so. At least I won't be in the studio, I might write some at home.
You wanted to talk about Safaa?

Yea, just. Like, they know I have a boyfriend and I'm 90% sure they know your name. And apart from Safaa, they all met Gemma at Freddie's birthday. Which, thinking about it, would've given you away straight away apparently. I did not know the obsession with you extended to Gemma.
So anyways. I think the only thing keeping Safaa from connecting the dots is disbelief.

I'm fine with actually telling your family. I wanna meet them sooner or later. You're meeting my mum later, so...

Ok. So I just tell Safaa? I mean, I don't think she's gonna be stupid but she's a teenager...
And I'm not sure she's gonna believe me, to be quite honest.

I don't know, I've never been in this situation either.
We can FaceTime the next time you're up with your family.

Next weekend. Mum caught wind of the fact that I'm visiting my boyfriend's family and demanded I visit my own family as well.

Of course.
So we'll FaceTime then and you can tell Safaa to chill.

Alright. I'll tell her to "chill".

Don't be sarcastic. You know what I mean.

I know.
I guess the real question is how you want to handle this in general. 'Cause this is another thing that comes with you being you that wasn't a thing before. You're not out, right? I feel like even I would've heard of a gay boybander or whatever.

Bi.

I know. But you know how people are.
So are you out?

Not really. But Niall basically said we'd deal with it before we even started dating. And I mean we're mostly broken up anyways so it's only me now. The band I mean, not us.

Yea, I gathered.

I don't mind if people know but for your sake we should keep it under wraps, babe. They are going to go after you probably and then you'll be the one who turned me gay or whatever the Mail will say.
Let's say that we carry on as usual and if you have people you want to tell or want me to meet you can do that, no worries but let's keep it private for now.
And we can cross the next bridge when we come to it.

Sounds sensible. And I did say I'd listen to you on this 'cause last time I was dead wrong.
I'll probably tell Louis as well cause he's a bit confused absolut the amount of likes and attention he's gotten because he answered you.
