My Best Friend

Ch. 13

-8 months later-

Niall went home in June and I've released my formal wear line for women. It was released about a month ago, they go for $300-400 dollars. The studio has been a big help in creating my clothing lines.

Niall's tour starts in a few months and I've been designing suits for him. I've gotten everything made, they just have to be shipped from Milan. I'm so excited to tour with him. I've always loved it so it will be more fun getting to do what I love. I'll be paid a little more than what I'm paid right now, so that will be nice.

"Andie, you better see this!" Katie yells and runs into my office. She hands me a magazine and I look at the front page. 'Hailee Steinfeld: Pregnant!' Ok?

"I'm sorry, what's so important about her being pregnant?" I ask.

"Go to the fifth page." I open the magazine and go to the page.

'Hailee Steinfeld has recently opened up about her being pregnant. She is believed to be four months pregnant and has already announced the gender and the name! She will give birth to a baby girl, named Anna Marie Horan! She confirmed with our people that Niall Horan is in fact the father and the two are extremely happy!'

"Um excuse me? They haven't been together for almost a year." I pick up my phone and call him immediately.

'I know, I saw it too. I'm dealing with lawyers at the moment, trying to figure out this shit show.' He says right as he answers.

'Why did she start this now? You two haven't been together for almost a year.' I say.

'I don't know but I'm suing her for negligence. This is ridiculous.' He's angry. So am I. She had no right to drag his name through the mud.

'What do you need from me?' I ask.

'Can you come to mine? I'm freaking out.' He asks.

'I'll be there in 10.' I get up and grab my purse.

'Ok, love you.' He says.

'Love you.' I hang up.

"I'm heading to his. Cancel my meetings for the rest of the day." I tell Katie. She nods and I run out of the building. I grab a taxi and tell him the address. The drive isn't long, thankfully. I pay the man and jump out of the taxi, typing in the gate code and walking in. He has such a long driveway, it's ridiculous.

"Niall!" I yell when I walk inside.

"Up here!" He calls from his office. I take my jacket off and put my purse on his couch before going upstairs.

"Hey." I kiss him hello before sitting next to him. He's on call with his lawyers. They're trying to get the article taken down off their website. I'm not sure what good that'll do since it's in their magazine.

'I don't care what it takes, take it down. I want her sued for negligence. Call me back when you have a lawsuit drawn up.' He hangs up and throws his phone down. I can tell he's angry. I grab his hand that's on his lap and interlock our fingers.

"I just don't understand why. Why now? There is no way I could be the father. She's only four months pregnant. We've been separated for eight. I just don't understand." He sighs.

"She's an attention seeking puttana. I know it sucks but your lawyers will figure it out. Just relax, ok?" I kiss the side of his head then lay my head on his shoulder.

"I know... I would just love to know why and if she's actually pregnant. Everyone should know I am not the dad. The timeline doesn't add up." He says.

"They know and I know. It will get worked out. How about we order some Nando's and you can help me figure out what you want to wear during tour?" I ask him.

"Yea that sounds nice." His phone rings and of course, it's Hailee.

"I'll deal with her, you order food." He nods and hands me his phone.

'Can I help you?' I answer.

'Give the phone to Niall. This is between us.' She says.

'Too bad, you're dealing with me and I'm much scarier than Niall. We all know that child isn't his, he wouldn't touch you now. Think about it Hailee! The timeline doesn't match up! Either say you made a mistake or you won't like what will happen. You know not to mess with him.' I seethe. I'm so tired of dealing with her.

'Whatever. I'm suing him for child support. He'll have to pay.' Does she have a brain?

'You do realize that won't happen right? The child isn't his. If you do, the court will make you get a paternity test. Your little plan isn't going to work.' I really do hate her. She doesn't say anything else and just hangs up. Bitch... I roll my eyes and set his phone down.

"What'd she say?" He asks.

"She wants to try to sue you for child support but that literally won't work. You two haven't been in the same room since May. She's so stupid." I scoff.

"Wow... ok then. I'll have to tell my lawyers." I nod, agreeing. He sighs and leans his head on the back of the couch. I lean against him and play with his hair.

"Don't worry, it'll work out. We're leaving in a few months and touring the world. It's going to be great, I promise." I kiss him right below his ear and I hear his breath hitch. Interesting... He clears his throat, trying to cover it up.

"Let's go look at the designs?" I ask. He nods and we stand up, going to his room. I take my bag with us then sit on his bed. Ugh I really should've brought a change of clothes. I'm uncomfortable.

"I need to change, I'm so uncomfortable." I hand him the designs and hand him my phone so he can see actual pictures of the clothes. I dig in his closet and grab a shirt along with a pair of his boxers. I kick my heels off and change into his clothes before sitting back on his bed. We talk about the different outfits and he chooses which ones he wants to wear for the concerts and the meet n greets.
