i wake up to johnnys arms wrapped around me. i go to push myself up but he holds me down, so instead i lay my head back on his chest and listen to his heart, looking up at him. he's so pretty. when he's sleeping he looks so relaxed, his eyebrows are flat and thick, he has little bags under his eyes and his resting face is almost a small smile. not to ruin the moment but i do have to pee and my head is fucking killing me. i wriggle my way out of johnnys arms and go to the bathroom, doing my business and taking some pills. i bring some out with a glass of water and put them on the bed stand. i lay back down and go on my phone for a little, checking some texts. i see that sage has messaged me. we haven't talked in a while so i make myself a cup of coffee from the coffee machine in johnnys room and sit on the balcony before calling her.
"bella! how you doing?" she almost shouts down the phone.
"woah sage. wayyyy to early. i'm good how are you?" i ask, pulling my phone from my head while she screams.
"i'm okay. are you hungover?" she asks.
"no," i laugh, how did she know?!
"you are. i can hear it in the way you picked up the phone," she laughs. god i've missed her.
"okay miss emily. im a little hungover," i respond.
"ooh okay arabella - you never get drunk. they taking you out a lot?" she asks.
"yeah. like every night but steve-o decided we had to get wasted for him to do is bit last night," i say, sipping my coffee.
"every night huh. you doing okay?" she laughs.
"yeah. don't worry about me. the guys are all the best," i explain.
"yeah? they looking after you?" she asks.
"yes mom," i smile, "what you been up to?"
"not much. my favourite client is out of town," she giggles, "been working with some of the other managers in the building to work on making the building better as well as having client and company meet and greets."
"sounds like a good plan sage," i smile.
"bells do you want some coffee?" i hear johnny shout from inside.
"i have some pj. thanks though," i respond.
"who's pj?" sage says excitedly.
"knoxville," i say.
"did you stay the night with johnny knoxville?!" she shouts down the phone.
"sage! way to loud!" i shout back.
"bella. you stayed the night with a boy and didn't tell me straight away," she says angrily.
"sage chill out. you sound like a teenager," i laugh, "i literally just woke up how could i have told you first?"
"it should have been the first thing out of your mouth," she says, defiantly.
"i'm sorry sage. next time i'll tell you while i'm asleep," i say shaking my head.
"good thank you," she laughs. johnny comes out with a cup of coffee in hand and sits across from me.
"sage i'm gonna go okay. i'll call you soon," i smile.
"have a good day! love you bella!" she shouts.
"love ya too sage," i laugh, snapping my phone closed.
"morning bells," johnny says, holding his head.
"hey. you good?" i ask.
"my head hurts," he complains.
"did you take the pills i left you?" i ask.
"i did. thank you honey," he says.
"then don't complain, it'll help in like 10 minutes," i say, pulling my legs up to my chest.
"whatever," he frowns, "oh man i don't want to do the red carpet."
"complain all you want you are not gonna get knocked out by a professional," i shrug.
"don't be mean bells. it's gonna suck," he says.
"it is gonna suck. at least we get to see weeman dressed in a little costume," i laugh.
"you're right," he smiles.
"do you think she's gonna knock me out?" i ask.
"who the professional fighter?" he asks.
"yeah knox. who else?" i laugh.
"don't start with me arabella," he says.
"ew don't call me arabella," i groan.
"but why," he smiles.
"because bells is your name for me and arabella is like only my name when i'm in trouble," i laugh.
"fine sorry bells," he smiles.
"we should get ready. jeff texted and said we're going to shoot soon," i say, we finish our coffees and go back in. i leave johnnys room and put some makeup and an outfit on quickly before going back. i knock on his door and he opens almost straight away.
"ready pj?" i ask.
"yep!" he says, coming out and taking my hand. we walk down to the lobby where everyone else is just arriving. we all get into the vans, except ryan and bam who are going back to his house, and head to the first place where they're doing the red carpet. i'll be honest watching a fully grown man get rolled up in a red carpet and then pushed down the stairs or down a hill was not what i was expecting for my summer plans but it's pretty good to watch. jeff currently is attaching the carpet to the back of one of the vans so wee man can stand on it and be dragged out. to me it sounds like 1 million health code violations but to jeff and johnny it's sounds like a great idea. johnny is feeling pretty rough right now, they had rolled him up and pushed him about 4 times now and each time he would come back over with more bruises and they weren't little. he has now vowed to never do it again so we're watching wee man get dragged around. at least he's in a king costume so that's pretty cool. once they were done with this bit jeff piled everyone back into the vans for us to head to my bit, which apparently would be filmed in a proper boxing ring. im not excited. i just think they think there's gonna be this great fight but i'll get hit once and fold probably.
"don't be nervous bells. it's just one fight," johnny says. oh yeah just one fight.
