What About Now (Westlife Fan Fiction)

Chapter 10

By the time they reached home, Krista had become pale and tired. Kian had noticed, so he pulled up directly outside her house and climbed out. He opened the passenger door and as Krista went to get out; he stopped her and picked her up. He kicked the door shut with his foot and locked the car with his keys. Krista didn't have the energy to contest, so she let him carry her through the front door and into the living room. He gently put her down on the sofa and got her some sweet tea.

"I know what you're thinking: did he record last night?"

"Yeah, that's what I'm thinking" Krista said weakly.

"I don't know about you, but last night for me was amazing, if he feels like he needs to share it, then he is a dirty pervert. Try not to worry about it"

"How can I not? There are hundreds of people's jobs on the line"

"And you are doing your best to save their jobs"

"They won't think that if they find out what happened last night, they will think horrible things of me"

"Who cares what they think? Do you know what I think? I think that you are amazing, sexy and caring; and you are doing the best you can for the people you

work with. I don't see them doing anything to help. He kissed Krista on the forehead and gave her a massive hug.

There was a loud knock on the door. Kian looked in the direction of the door and got up from the sofa. He walked over and peered through the small glass window. It was Dean James.

"It's him"

"What does he want?"

"Only one way to find out" Kian opened the door and allowed Dean to come in.

"What do you want?" Krista whined, the colour drained from her face.

"You don't look very well Krista, stress getting to you?" Dean said smugly.

"No, I had a busy day"

"With your new boyfriend, congratulations"

"Thanks, you still haven't said what you want"

"You mean you've forgotten, the work party is coming up, I came to drop off your dress, all at my expense, naturally"

"Why?" Kian was acting as if he had no idea why Dean was doing this.

"Well I know how Krista becomes confused with dates and I thought I would save her the trouble of having to find an outfit"

"That's very nice of you" Kian said sarcastically.

"I'm afraid there is no plus 1's on this party, so Krista will have to come alone, the taxi will pick you up at 7.30 tomorrow." Dean smiled and handed Krista a dress bag. She took it and Dean said his goodbyes before walking out, slamming the door behind him.

"Pig" Krista said once he had left.

Kian watched his car pull away from the window and turned to Krista once it was out of sight. Krista was gone. He looked in the kitchen but she wasn't there. He checked the bathroom, but no. He finally checked the bedroom. She was in there, standing in the dress that Dean had just brought for her. It was beautiful. It was a deep purple, full length dress. It had a v- neck front, backless, with rhinestones decorating the edges.

"Wow" it was all he could say. Until he realised that Krista was crying. "Hey, hey, why are you crying?"

Krista couldn't speak for the tears, so she pointed at the bag the dress was in. Inside was a note. Kian unfolded the paper. He carefully read the words. It was shocking. It said that Krista had to find some dirt on Kian, or he would publish everything about the night before on every laptop in the entire country. He had video and audio, and he wasn't afraid to use it.
