When we got inside my house we were met with a particularly annoyed Zack. "You." He said glaring at me.
"…Me?" I asked tentatively as I reached back to grab Rian's hand.
"Yes you. You missed out on mom calling." I sighed relieved that he wasn't actually mad at me. "Which meant that I had to endure a long conversation with her." He was trying his best to sound annoyed but there was a hint of a smile playing on his face and a twinkle in his eyes.
"And, I even got amazing pancakes this morning." I teased him. "Today should be a good one."
"You made her pancakes?" Zack asked in disbelief.
"Uhm, yeah?" Rian asked confused, clearly not understanding that his pancakes were a gift from god that everyone involved with the band treasured.
"Dude, you can't give her everything! That's how they take control." Zack exclaimed dramatically.
"Not everyone is going to be like Melissa." Rian said simply pulling me close.
I laughed at the exchange and then turned towards Rian to kiss his cheek. "I'm going to go shower and get dressed, I'll see you two in a bit." I left quickly and headed up the stairs as the two of them began past relationships. I hadn't liked either of their exes, though it might be because I was sightly protective over Zack and I was jealous about Rian…
In my room I closed my door and locked it quickly before stepping into my bathroom. I quickly pulled off my clothes and examined myself in the mirror. My stomach was larger than ever and I felt odd that I looked at it happily rather than disgusted. I pushed the thoughts of weight away and stepped into the warm shower. Comforted by the pure heat that surround me.
As I started washing my hair I again felt hungry. I smiled and placed my hand on my stomach. "Again?" I questioned out loud. "After I'm done, alright baby." I was met with a small kick against my hand. I smiled and rushed through my shower as carefully as I could.
Stepping out of the shower I pulled a towel around me and headed out to my bedroom. As I began rummaging through my clothes I talked to my baby. Wondering what she was hungry for. I giggled as I thought how silly I might sound to an outsider. I shrugged and pulled on an orange tank top and a pair of grey skinny jeans. I searched through my jewelry box for some of my beaded bracelets and my necklace that had a heart outlined in small diamonds. Digging through my closet I found a tan pair of slouched boots and attached them to my feet. I was just about done when I realized that I hadn't grabbed a bag, I quickly grabbed the new bag I'd bought with colored beads accenting the front. I switched the Chanel wallet and sunglasses I'd gotten from my parents from my other bag.
Satisfied with what I was wearing I went to the bathroom to complete the look. I brushed my teeth quickly and then started to put on a bit of eyeshadow and mascara. Before leaving I quickly sprayed myself with DKNY's Fresh Blossom perfume.
When I rejoined Zack and Rian they were talking about the song they were hoping to record for a new movie. "What movie?" I questioned as I walked towards the fridge to get something to munch on.
"Jennifer's Body, with Megan Fox." Zack replied dreamily.
"Really is it for sure?" I asked as I stuffed my mouth full with an apple.
"Well, they liked our song so most likely." He replied back giddily.
"Oh, maybe she'll actually know who you are." I said to my brother as I leaned my arms on the counter. Proving once again that he knew me better than everyone Rian walked over and started rubbing my back gently.
"Shut up, Kai." Zack said quickly laughing with me. "So, I was wondering if you'd let me take some pictures of you."
"Of me? Why?"
"Because you're big." He said simply.
"Way to boost my self-esteem Zack." I pouted.
He chuckled. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I think it'd be nice though." He added the last bit slightly quieter.
"Well, if you want I'm down. But I keep my clothes on; those pictures that crowd the middle of the mall with naked woman and large pregnant tummies slightly creep me out." I rambled seriously, thinking back to the standard black and white pictures I've seen all my life.
"No, that would just be gross and awkward Kaiden. You'll see, they'll look good." He assured me as I finished my apple.
"Alright well then go ahead." I said as I made my way to throw away the core. "Are you ready?" I asked Rian realizing it was already past ten.
"Whenever you are." He replied simply.
"Where are you going now?" Zack asked from his barstool.
"We're going to go to the zoo and then get something for lunch." I replied before grabbing my bag from the counter and Rian's hand.
"Oh, well that sounds like fun."
"It should be. What're you doing today?"
"Just gonna hang around here I think…work out, go for a run." He replied thinking.
"Distracting yourself because Alexandria's gone?" I teased him, knowing he liked her. Everyone who read their tweets knew they flirted constantly.
"Life is much more boring without her…" He said as his phone lit up. "Speaking of." His face lit up and he hit the talk button. "Hello? Hey how's it go-" He was cut off when he realized that Rian and I had started leaving. "I'll se you later maybe?" He called out.
"Most likely, if not I'll tell you." I waved over my head. "Have fun today, tell her I say hi."
"Kay, I will. Talk to you later." He said before turning around and allowing us to leave.
