Flo only waves him off like he's overreacting for no reason, "Don't cry about it, same height as Alex, remember?" The mocking grin on her face has you holding back your giggles.

Matty raises his eyebrows, a small smile playing on his lips as he jokes, "Let's not start comparing me and Alex, don't want to get you all confused again."

"You've got ten seconds to run." Flo warns him with raised eyebrows and Matty chuckles and very quickly kisses your lips before bolting from the room. Once he disappears, she chuckles and turns towards Amelia as she says, "Now he's gone, hi! I'm such a big fan."

Their pleasantries are exchanged, and Flo tells your best friend about her love for the both of you and your show and it warms your heart all over again hearing how earnestly she's saying it.

Not long after, you hear the hostess squealing from the door, "Oh my god, Dimz is here!" and you and Flo watch as Charli runs up to Amelia and throws her arms around her.

It's still a little bit mental to you that Charli holds both you and Amelia in such high regard. It feels like a privilege to be called a friend by her and you know that she doesn't mean it in an industry way. She genuinely considers the both of you a friend and that is one of the most heart warming things that you don't think you'll get used to for a long time yet.

After a long hug and a quick chat asking what took her so long, Matty comes back into the room, once again dancing and he grins at you as he does. It's too hard not to smile back at his playful manner and when he holds his hand out to you, you take it.

This prompts the curly headed brunette to pull you towards him but he raises his arm so you're forced to twirl around which has you giggling and feeling like a princess. He makes your heart stutter again when he pulls you close and he hugs your waist as he tells you, "You look so pretty baby."

The ache in your chest gets a little bit more intense hearing that, and you can't stop yourself from stealing a kiss from him. No, you're not big on PDA but when you're tipsy and happy you tend to let things slide so you indulge yourself in having his lips back on your own.

It doesn't last for long because it's such a sweet and innocent kiss, but when you pull away and you both stay close. You can feel that overwhelming sense of happiness bubbling through you but it gets more intense when you can feel his smile against your lips and you're certain he can feel yours, and it's that that prompts the both of you to share another kiss despite the smiling making it difficult.

After that sweet little moment of bliss, you move both of you back over to the others where you're quickly dragged out of Matty's embrace and into the other singer you fancy.

"Matty go and get shots for us all," Charli asks as she hugs both you and Amelia into her, "Please, you promised me."

"Charli." Matty sighs, almost pouting, "What am I? A mule?"

"Pleaseeee," Charli coos loudly, almost begging. But when that doesn't seem to be working, she uses you to further her ambitions. Her arm falls from Amelia then and she uses her free hand to sweetly cup your jaw, like she's putting you up for display, as she tells him, "Your woman wants a shot, you don't wanna upset her more after what you said earlier do you."

Charli looks to you then for back up and immediately you nod at her and then at him as if that was what you were after all along. And you see him shake his head slightly at you, playfully scorning you for taking her side.

But it makes him do as he's told, but not before looking at Charli again and saying, "Blackmail is not a good look on you."

"Everything is a good look on me," Charli laughs, loving that the only response he could muster was a fake insult and not a blatant refusal. She asks, "Did you see my last album cover?"
