April 27th
The girls were doing a performance at some show today and I genuinely didn't like going to those things so I took the time to relax. Well.. my version of relax.
"Where are you again?" Dante asked from my Airpods, running on his treadmill while I ran on mine.
"England." I replied and upped the incline. "Then we go to Italy."
"Damn, when is the off day?"
I hummed and looked up in thought. "After the Italy show I believe we get a free day out there." When I looked down, I saw I was coming up on the two mile mark. "So-" My words died in my throat when I saw my phone ringing, Leigh-Anne's name popping up. Why was she calling.. I thought they'd be on stage by now. "Dante imma call you back."
I hopped on the side of the treadmill and answered. "Hello?"
"Hey.." She sighed. "We have a problem."
-
I stared at the boy as he sat on the couch, his ankle getting wrapped by a medic. "I was rushing down the stairs and I felt it pop and.." He shook his head and looked up at me. "I'm really sorry about the show..."
"It happens, just focus on getting better." I said and patted his back. "How long will he have to rest?" I then asked the medic.
She hummed and clicked her tongue. "At least six weeks." Shit.
I faced the girls and shook my head. "We don't have enough time to rearrange the dance so.."
I looked around and tried to figure out what we could do. "You know the choreography better than anyone." Leigh-Anne said with a shrug. "Dance with us."
Hm.. she wasn't lying. I looked at the dancer, my head tilting as I sized him up. We were practically built the same, he may have been maybe an inch shorter but it'd work.
"Okay.. let me get changed I guess." The girls cheered and I chuckled before moving over to the stylist who had the outfit on the rack. "Could you guys get one tailored for me? I'm gonna have to take over on tour." They nodded.
"Already on it."
After changing into the beige outfit with the matching vest, I wrapped the bandana around my head and quickly hopped into the white Air Forces. "They out there?" I asked one of the assistants and he nodded so I jogged out of the room to the side stage.
I watched as they laid on floaties in the middle of the stage while singing to the camera above them. On cue, four of us walked out and lifted them up. Leigh-Anne smiled at me as I impromptu spun her around, smiling as she laughed lightly.
We were about halfway through the performance when we did a jumping rope type move and I looked at Leigh-Anne to see her pause for a second on the third jump, then continue but I could see her favoring her right leg. Shit.. she got hurt. And it was probably the worst time because the rest of the dance was high burst and fast before the end.
My gaze stayed fixated on her to make sure she didn't need any help but, like a pro, she finished the rest of the song and when we posed at the end, I itched to go for her.
"Give it up for Little Mix!" They waved and once the show closed, her face fell as she immediately crouched down to hold her calf.
"Hey," I said and swooned up next to her as the girls came to her in concern. "What's up?" I slid my arm around her waist and helped her walk off the stage. "Where is it?"
"My leg- oh my God." She groaned, dropping her head on my shoulder. I led her to the dressing room and sat her on the couch, a frown forming on my lips when I saw her eyes watering.
"Try to relax, let me see." I asked as I raised her leg to see her calf muscle slightly twitching. "Oh it's not bad." She gave me a look, a tear falling down her face. "No I mean, it's a charley horse. Scoot over."
She moved to sit horizontal on the couch and sat down, pulling her leg over my lap. "Not too hard." She said when I rested my hand on her calf.
I gave her a reassuring smile. "It's gonna hurt.. but I swear it will feel a lot better." Her head dropped back when I pressed my thumbs into the muscle.
"Oh bloody f-" She squeezed my arm with a groan. "It's not getting any better!"
"She just started, love." Perrie said, brushing her hair out of her face. "You did great though. I didn't even know you were hurt until the end."
"Yeah," Jade agreed and I smiled when I realized what they were doing. "I would have fell on my ass."
Leigh giggled softly, unaware they were distracting her. "You fall enough as is Jade."
After a few minutes of them keeping her mind off her leg, I changed from massaging to rubbing (so that I could created heat and warm up the muscle) and she looked at me with raised eyebrows. "What'd you do?"
"What do you mean?" I asked and she lifted her leg, flexing it slightly. "Feel better?"
"Yeah.. how'd it go away so fast though?" The way she was staring at me in such awe over a small actions was.. I don't know, it made me feel good. I shrugged softly and looked down to see her hand still holding my arm, a small smile on her lips when I looked up and gave her a wink.
"She's a witch, I told you lot." Jade suddenly said with a stern finger in my direction. "I'm onto you, Y/ln."
I raised my eyebrows at her in confusion. "Jade, hun." Jesy said with a sigh as she rested her hands on her shoulders. "I heard there's cheesecake at catering."
Her eyes lit up. "Ooh cheesecake." She said happily and walked out with Jesy, Perrie smiling at us before nodding her head to the side. "I'm gonna go.. get cheesecake too."
Once they all left, I looked over and saw Leigh-Anne covering her face. "Correct me if I'm wrong." I said, a teasing smirk on my lips when she looked through her fingers. "But I don't think they left for cheesecake."
Her eyes adverted from mine. "I think you're wrong." I chuckled and watched her stand up, slowly walking around the room as she flexed her leg. "They definitely left for cheesecake."
"Right, not for chocolate cake?" She looked at me silently and looked away again but blush covering her cheeks. I couldn't help it. "You're cute as fuck yo." I said with a chuckle before leaning down to pull off my shoes. "How's your calf? It may still be sore but putting a warm compress to it will make it feel better." I raised up and slid the vest off of my shoulders, then grabbing the hem of my shirt and lifting it up slightly.
When I looked up, I saw her biting her lip to hold in a smile with her eyes moving everywhere. "Okay noted, I'm gonna let you change." She rushed out and I shook my head with a soft laugh. Cute as fuck.
After I changed and putting the clothing back on the rack to be washed, I walked out of the room to see Leigh-Anne. "So there really was cheesecake huh?"
She hummed with a mouthful, some smeared on the corner of her lip so I reached forward and scooped it off with my thumb. "Yeah I g.." Her words died in her throat when I slid my thumb into my mouth and licked the pad of my finger clean. "Um ye- yeah there's a lot of.. cheesecake." She breathed out before giving me a look, then spinning around. "You so do that on purpose." She huffed.
I cocked an eyebrow and followed after her. "Do what?" She gave me a sarcastic glance. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
I so did.

Even though the girls had an early flight tomorrow, they insisted on going out and showing me how they party in the U.K. Whatever that means.
There were a lot of no's on my end, a lot of pleading on there's until I found myself in a damn club.
I really needed to get better at this 'no' shit. "Wait!" Jade said loudly when I raised the cup of beer to my lips, stunting me from drinking. "You haven't passed the test!"
I looked at her in confusion. "We have a game we play. Any person who's new to the crew has to play the drinking game and pass the eight second test. If you don't, you pay for the first round of shots." Perrie then explained and I huffed.
"I'm black.. I don't play with my drinks." I said and Leigh-Anne was the only one to sigh.
"You get use to it." She mumbled, taking a swig of her beer.
Jade simply waved her hand. "Come on, as soon as we say eight, start drinking. Ready? Good. We like to drink with Y/n 'cause Y/n is our mate. And when we drink with Y/n she gets it down in eight.. seven.."
I shook my head with a sigh before bringing the glass to my lips and chugging the drink down while they all continued counting loudly. "Five! Four-" I slammed the glass down and wiped my lips nonchalantly while they all stared at me in bewilderment.
"I've had taller glasses of tequila. This beers cheap, taste like apple cider." I said with a shrug before grabbing the shot glass and throwing it back, their eyes still on me. "What?"
"I guess I'm paying." Jesy mumbled when the three others suddenly grabbed their glasses and tried to drink as fast as me.
With that, the drinks were flowing and I was a bit lit, I wasn't gonna lie. I'm guessing this English shit was a slow buildup because I was fine, then suddenly everything was crazy. Like.. karaoke room kind of crazy.
"It started when we were younger, you were mine-" I turned the mic to Leigh-Anne and she finished it. "My boooo!"
I laughed and draped my arm over her shoulder as we swayed side to side while I sounded terribly and she sounded like an angel. "My oh my ohhh, my booo." We finished off together, everyone clapping after we handed in the mics and stumbled off the stage.
"Splendid darlings, spleeendid." Jade clapped, her hands cupping her mouth as she continued to hoot.
I playfully popped my collar before picking up my beer bottle and taking a sit. "I could take y'alls job, just saying." Leigh snorted and shook her head. "No?"
"Not at all." I waved her off before pushing away from the table and leaving the karaoke room and drunkenly dancing to the music. "You can dance though.." I grabbed her hand and spun her around smoothly before pulling her back against me.
I dropped my head between her shoulder and neck, my free hand resting on her hip as we swayed to the beat that was probably a lot faster than our speed but I didn't even care.
I just wanted to try something.. just this once.
Her hand reached behind her and held the back of my neck, her hips pressing back against me more until she was basically grinding against my length. I licked my lips and took a leap as I pressed a kiss to her neck. Her response was perfect. She tilted her head to give me more area to cover.
With Robyn and I both working on shit, I wanted to see something for my side. It may have been the alcohol thinking for me but I wanted to see if I could..
"How about that cake?" I whispered into her ear. She turned in my hold and without hesitation, her lips pressed against mine. She pulled back slightly after a few seconds and grabbed my hood before pulling it over my head.
Her head nodded as she used it to pull me down and forward again. "Yeah, cake."
And I kissed her back.
