gems
calling

Hey. Why are you calling?

Some people like talking to people, Zain.

You're not actually mad, are you?

What? Why?

Cause Harry said-

Oh, I was just teasing.
And also, he will be even more obnoxious now, you have to admit I am right.

Yea, I'm not denying that.

Right?
Anyways, I wanted to offer you my congratulations.

Thank you, Gems.

I'm very excited, I love being an aunt. All the fun of babies without having to actually do any of the annoying stuff or losing any sleep.

Yea, it's gonna be great.

Rolling your eyes already, are you.
But actually, the other reason I'm calling. I wanted to go down to France with Perrie even maybe and I kinda wanted to check with you what would be best because Harry wasn't too enthusiastic about having to share you.

Actually - what are you doing this weekend?

This weekend?

Yea, I just got off the phone with Margaret - from the gallery.

I know who she is, I'm the one managing your social media, remember.

Yea, anyways.
I might have to go in this weekend. So I can't make it to France.

He's not gonna like that.

I don't like it either. But the alternative would be pushing it to next weekend apparently and that's not much better either. And he's good at the moment and who knows how he'll feel next week so I feel better about not being there now I guess.

I mean. I could definitely go to France, I can work from there. And Perrie could join for the weekend.
What do you mean, he's better?

He's been throwing up and was tired and stuff. He seemed a bit down.
Nothing awful, don't worry, just lonely.

Hm. Yea. I'll check with Perrie, but it doesn't make a difference to me, so we can do this weekend. Text me after you've told him so I can announce myself.

Yea.
He's gonna be mad we talked before.

Oh, definitely.
I'm putting all the blame on you.

Of course you are.
So, how are you?

Oh, same old. No pregnancy to announce. Had a flare up of thrush-

Overshare much?

You asked! And it's super annoying!

I guess. Poor you.

Yes, thank you. Nothing more to tell, working and I have this really annoying pro bono client who is awful about his social media presence, I keep having to remind him...

Oh, alright, I get it.

Do you? And will it actually change anything?

No, I liked it better when you did everything.

Of course you did.
Actually still can't get over the fact that you painted those pictures for mum. That's incredibly unfair of you, showing us all up.

That's your problem with them?

Well, obviously. they're gorgeous.
Mum loves them. I went down this weekend for a bit and she was super giddy, I guess I know why now, and she went and showed them to the three times even though I was there when she got them. I was the one who took them to her.

I'm glad she likes them.

Obsessed with them, really.
I expect a painting as well, by the way. Or I'll feel left out.

Sure, Gems.

Actually, I was wondering if you'd want to post the painting of me on your insta. Mum is fine with it, she is very desperate to show it off to the world.
I guess we know where Harry gets it from.

And you don't?

Oh, shut up.
So?

I don't know, Gems.
Well, think about it. It would be nice, showing range, no?

And they are gorgeous.
Think about it.
Anyways. What's news with you?

I think you know.

That's all there is then?

I've been going to France a lot. I think the ferry staff know us now, it's a bit weird.
You know everything, I think. There isn't much going on, it's all Freddie, Harry and art.

Hm, yea.

I know we said I'd come down next week.
Do you want me to stop by before I go to France?
Take Harry something?

Freddie might have a drawing...
Yea. If you manage.

Okay. I have to go do some work actually.
Text me after you've talked to Harry.

Will do.
See you soon.

Yea, bye. Love you.

You too.

short... but we're starting off the new year with regular updates (if one day can be called regular xD)
