Monday, 4 days later.
Today is the day. All of the 5SOS boys would be coming together and meeting me at the bakery. I remember 4 years ago we made a pact that we would all come together at my bakery. They were so positive that I would have my own place by then.
Sure, I was nervous, I mean they were finally going to meet Irma in person. Luke, Ashton, and Mikey have seen her when she was a tiny baby, when I would facetime them constantly. We all got busy so there wasn't much time to talk other than the occasional text message to check up on everything.
The cupcake shop was all ready, everything is clean and I had out a platter of their favorite cupcakes. I played with Irma at the thought of when we created the pact at the first place.
flashback.
we were all sitting around fire, it was the day of mali's birthday party. everyone had gone to sleep already other than me and the boys. i was already giddy because calum had asked me to be his like 30 minutes ago.
"the cupcakes were amazing, lupe," ashton giggles after taking another bite of his cupcake.
"thanks, ash, i'm just glad everyone like them," i smiled.
"i bet in four years, you'll have your own cupcakes bakery," mikey added and i laughed.
"yeah sure i will," i rolled my eyes jokingly.
"you will!" cal laughed before kissing my cheek making me giggle softly.
"let's make a pact!" luke shouted and we all shushed him so he wouldn't wake up the people sleeping. "sorry," he whispered and laughed.
"what kind of pact?" mikey furrowed his eyebrows.
"listen, in four years, we all take a day off, and meet up at lupe's bakery and catch up on our crazy lives," he grinned.
"that's a great idea! lupe, you better have your bakery open by then," ashton pointed at me.
"i'll try my best," i laughed.
"hands in, no backing out no matter what the future holds," calum spoke and we all put out hands in the center, being cautious about the flame.
"on three, best friends forever!"
"one.."
"twooo.."
"three!!"
"best friends forever!" we shouted in unison and shushed each other for being loud. laughter filled the air along with the smell of marshmallows and chocolate.
end of flashback.
I was seated in the very back booth with Irma, banging on a toy drum and she giggles. I hear the jingle of a bell meaning that someone has come in. Irma puts on a surprised face because of the sound, I smiled softly and kissed her forehead. Getting up from the booth and walked over to the four boys by the door.
It was literally only the six of us since I had closed the bakery just for today so I wouldn't have any interruptions and so the boys won't be bombarded with girls.
"Lupe, baby!" Mikey was the first to seem me, run up to me, and hug me. I laughed and hugged back.
"Hey, Mikey."
"Michael Gordon! Share, she's my bff too," Ash scolded jokingly. Mikey hissed at him but pulls away and lets Ash hug me, then me returning it.
"Okay, okay, my turn," Luke pushes Ash and hugs me.
"The worst slash best for last," Calum spoke up. I laughed as I pulled away from Luke and hugged Cal. I chose to not let anything ruin today, it's been 3 years. I'm not going to let the fact that Cal cheated on me get in the way of anything.
"Okay, let's go sit," I motioned them to the booth that I was in with Irma. When Irma sees the boys, she cowers into my chest, hiding her face. "It's okay, princess," I kiss her forehead.
"Who's this cutie pie?" Mikey spoke up as he sat next to me and the other 3 boys sat across.
"This is Irma, say hi, Irma," I tickled her side softly so she pulls away from my chest as she giggles.
"Hi, Irma.." she mimics me before realizing something, "wait, my name is Irma," her eyebrows furrow and let's out a giggle.
"She's so adorable," Calum spoke up, "I've only seen pictures that the boys showed me but she was a tiny baby at the time."
"Yeah, I need to send you all updated pictures," I laughed. "She just turned 2 years old four days ago on opening day, after the bakery closed my family and I gave her a cake to celebrate."
"We should throw her a party!" Ashton giggled and Irma joins him.
"There isn't going to be a party, it's not like we have anyone to invite," I shrugged as Irma crawled off my lap and stands up to play with Mikey's bright pink hair.
"Pink!" she shouts and giggles.
"Good job, you're so smart!" Luke cheers her on and she giggles again.
"Can we at least take her somewhere, we missed her 2 of her birthdays and her birth day," Calum pouted and the others joined him.
"Ugh, fine, but I'll have to be there too because I don't trust you guys with a baby," I laughed and Aston slapped his hand on his chest in mock offense. "Except Ashton, but still," I laughed.
"So where are those cupcakes that were promised in the pact!" Mikey shouted.
-
"Still the best cupcakes ever! I miss them so much," Calum laughed. For the past two hours we ate food that I cooked along with dessert of course.
"I really missed them," Mikey cried.
"Yeah, I second that," Luke added.
"The last time I had one was Nick Jonas' party," Ashton laughed and Calum's eyebrows furrowed. Shit.
"What party? I don't remember that?" Cal spoke up.
"3 years ago, in New York," I mumbled.
"I don't remember.." Cal zoned off in thought.
"You didn't go," Luke commented.
"Why not?"
"You came back from the studio drunk that day and we asked you if you wanted to come. You cussed us out and cried, we went out to the party without you," Mikey sneered, making Irma whimper and I kiss her head to reassure her.
"You were there, Lupe?" Calum looked at me in disbelief.
"Yeah, his people contacted me and I catered," I looked down at Irma and pushed her hair behind her ear.
"I would have gone if I knew you were going," he mumbled as he fumbled with his fingers.
"Nothing would have changed between us," I mumbled then hearing the bell ring. I looked at my watch and saw that it was time for George to pick up Irma.
"Lupe?" George called.
"Back here," I gestured Mikey to scoot out of the booth and I carried Irma.
"Hello, beautiful! Who's ready to see grandma," George smiled happily as he took Irma from my arms. Her eyes light up as she giggles, hugging her daddy tightly. "Oh, hey, I'm George, Irma's dad," he waved at the boys.
They all greeted him and told him that they wanted to take Irma out, he agreed after I reassured him I would be with her.
"Okay, well we should start heading out, I'll drop her off tomorrow before work tomorrow," he pecked my cheek and I nodded. "Say bye, Irma."
"Bye, Irma!" she shouted then furrowing her eyebrows, "wait.. My name is Irma!" she giggles.
"Bye, princess," I kissed her forehead then waving at her as she leaves the building.
"I thought you guys weren't involved romantically," Calum rolled his eyes. I rolled my eyes in response, knowing that I would be questioned for something as small as a peck on a cheek.
