Remember When ↠ l.p.

Time passing by

As the days, then weeks go by we fall into a comfortable routine that none of us necessarily agreed to, it rather just happened that way. Tessie is brought over each day except for Sunday and on Saturday or Friday I will take her back over to the Payne's house and Cailyn and I will have dinner with them. 

As I had expected, their house is a mansion! And while it is a mansion, it's a cozy one, it's not filled with huge vases and chandeliers and paintings everywhere. There's a lot of room and the furniture is nice, but it doesn't make you feel like you can't even breath the wrong way for fear of breaking something.  And Sophia and Liam have made me feel completely welcome too. I wasn't really sure how much staff a house like this would have...or how much staff they would have in general, but they only have a maid who comes in daily and a part-time cook. And Liam's security guard, Paddy, who has been with him for years. He lives above their garage, which is like a very nice apartment. So we usually have the house to ourselves and either have takeout (or takeaway, as they would call it) or cook something all together, with the girls help too. Then after dinner we'll watch a movie so long as it's not too late.

Then every other day or so, depending on whose turn it is to drop Tessie off, Sophia or Liam will spend part of the morning with us. They like to do it so long as their schedules allow it. I've met Zayn again, he came over with Liam to pick Tessie up one night and then came to a few of our dinners together later on. But so far I've not met any of the others. I did meet Andy a few others who I knew off, from stalking of course. There are occasions where Tessie needed to be dropped off at home early because they had an event they needed to attend or when they took a vacation away to Florida over the weekend. 

At first I was a bit uncomfortable, I had trouble adjusting to the type of lifestyle they lead. Not that I'm a part of it, but I'm walking alongside it, watching while they and Tessie live it. Well, mainly them. They still have kept her out of the public eye and although she may have some idea how popular her father is from seeing him on TV, she won't understand it until she's older. And I think it's wonderful, she's sheltered and doesn't have to live with any scrutiny or online stalking. Although I'm sure the remaining fans would be in love with her, it's just better to be normal than famous for a child, in my opinion. 

The Paynes helped me to find a new apartment too, something a bit closer to their house and with more room for the girls to play and there's even a pool in the neighborhood where they can go play in as it gets warmer. They lent me a bit of money, kindly. While my funds had been growing greatly, to where I had extra money to spend on Cailyn and myself and didn't have to worry about if I could cover all my bills, I didn't have quite enough for the down payment on the apartment. But we all thought that it would be perfect and both the girls loved it. There's even a bedroom for Tessie in case she ever needs to spend the night. We're talking about decorating it for her too. Needless to say, I'm very happy and life couldn't really get better. I even flirted a bit with the barista at the local café the last time I went, that's how lighthearted I am. 

Cailyn's birthday is coming up soon, I've been busy trying to plan a good surprise for her. I've never really  been able to do anything very big for her birthday so I'm hoping it will be even more of a surprise. She's adjusted to things well, with the Paynes becoming such large parts of our lives and us moving...again. We had only been at our previous place a month or two before I met Liam at the supermarket. At least it's not as far as it was that time. Mom's and dad are coming up for Cailyn's birthday and to see everything that's been going on. I just hope that it makes her happy. That's all I've ever wanted for her.

Bit of a different sort of chapter here. I always feel weird just saying it's such and such a time and not giving and transition. So yeah. Leave feedback?! It'd make me just as happy as Zayn's hair does ;)
