It's been a month since Dan got the call about Bastilles record deal. They've been in the studio working super hard on getting the album together, it's basically finished now. There's a gig in London in two weeks to celebrate the release and it's almost sold out!

Spirits have been high the last month. Dan and I are doing really well, I feel like I don't ever want to look at another man for the rest of my life.

We've heard nothing from Sarah for the last four weeks, although that hasn't stopped her hurling insults indirectly on Twitter, but I can deal with that. I know she's just jealous of us.

At the moment, we're all in the studio. Kyle and I are goofing around, throwing paper airplanes at each other from across the room and just being a distraction to everyone else.

All the music has been recorded, Dan just has vocals to record for two songs and they've some group vocals to record for Pompeii, it's going to be their next release.

I watch him as he gets up from the sofa and makes his way to the recording booth. He's been super quiet while we're in here, but he's always been like this with music, he keeps to himself when he's 'in the zone'.

"Wait til you hear this" Kyle moves next to me and nudges me gently. "You're going to die"

I raise an eyebrow and turn my attention to Dan. He takes a deep breath and starts to sing.

"When you fall asleep, with your head upon my shoulder"

I sit up a little straighter.

"When you're in my arms, but you've gone somewhere deeper"

I turn back to Kyle. "When did he write this? I've never heard it"

"He's been working on it for months now, great isn't it?"

I sit in silence through the rest of the song.

"Wow... that was amazing"

Dan runs his hand through his ridiculously messy hair, he really does make zero effort with it, it makes me smile.

"Was that okay?" he asks, sounding a little unsure of himself.

I get up and run to the mic "It was amazing Dan!"

He grins and walks out of the booth. "You really think so?"

"Are you serious? Yes! It's absolutely beautiful"

"I thought you'd like it" he chuckles "Wanted to keep that one as a bit of a surprise for you, something a bit different"

"Well I love it, this album is going to be perfect"

"Thank you, I needed to hear that" he kisses me and I immediately wrap my arms around his neck and return the kiss.

Will pipes up "Oh my god could you two get a room please"

I turn to look at them, Will is fake vomiting and Kyle is on top of Woody on the sofa, kissing all over his face. "Oh Daniel Smith, you're the love of my life" says Woody, who's got Kyle in some kind of death grip hug. "Oh Emily James please marry me so we can be like this forevaaaa"

"Kyle, I don't even talk like that" Dan shuffles his feet and I laugh.

"You guys are assholes, you're just jealous" I blow them a kiss and fling myself on top of them.

"OW! GET OFF ME" Kyle pushes me off them, onto the floor.

By this point Dans almost wetting himself laughing and Mark, their producer, is just staring at us, obviously wondering if we're all mentally stable.

"How you five are going to live on a tour bus together for two weeks is beyond me" he sighs.

"Tour bus?" I look from Mark, to the boys and then to Dan, who is shooting Mark a 'shut the hell up' look.

"Ohhhh Mark, I think you've ruined something here" says Kyle.

"Yeah uh, I was gonna talk to you about this later" Dan rubs the back of his neck. "We're doing a UK tour starting next month... It's being announced tomorrow, I was going to ask you to come"

"I was going to ask Rihanna to come" says Will quietly.

Everyone laughs. I grab Dans hand and pull him down to the floor with me.

"Are you sure? I won't be in the way or anything?" I'm grinning from ear to ear.

"I'm sure you will be but I'd still like you to come" he smiles and crosses his legs and plays with his shoelaces. "We were thinking maybe you could like, run the merch stand or something? If you want..."

"I'd love to! This is gonna be so cool!"

Woody shoves Kyle off him and sits up.
"Right okay, now that all that's out of the way... can we go to Nandos please? I'm hungry"
