Old you - Dua Lipa

4

•flashback•

Dua and I had been hanging out almost everyday now like who knew some girl I met at a bar almost a month ago would be someone I talk to everyday now. We bonded mostly because we both had the same taste in men so we had our break up stories and such.

She had her heartbroken several times by the same guy and she was recently barley able to get out of it. She pledged that she would never fall in love because she believes it just doesn't exist anymore in the time we live in.

"You're sort of correct but I mean you're bound to fall in love you're famous and gorgeous men are going to want you and one of them is going to sweep you off your legs when you least expect it" I say

"I doubt that very much because I won't allow it especially now that I'm getting my career together I want to spend my time with friends and family" she says

"Whatever you say Dua" I say while laughing and shaking my head

"Hey I'm serious!" She hits me with the pillow

"Oh now you're done" I say as I reach for another pillow

We began a pillow fight it was very aggressive but funny at the same time until I accidentally fell like an idiot and hit my head on the corner of her drawer. I reached to touch my head and it was bleeding.

"Bloody hell" Dua says

"Am I going to die?" I ask

"I'm not a doctor y/n! Should we go to the hospital?" She exclaims

"I don't think that's necessary do you have bandaids or something" I ask

"Yes let me go get the first aid kit you just sit here okay" she pats the bed

I just nod. She comes back running in and out of breath is hilarious so I start laughing hysterically.

"Why are you laughing this is serious" she says

"It's really not but okay" I say as I continue laughing

"Don't move I'll clean you up" she says

She gets cotton out and taps my cut softly but it automatically starts hurting. So I remove her hand and she looks so offended it makes me laugh again.

"Thought you weren't a doctor" I say

"Shh" she says as she continues to apply a bandaid on me

"Good as new" she says and she goes in to kiss it like if she's my mom or something

"If I'm going to get kisses from Dua lipa I should get hurt all the time!" I say sarcastically

She just laughs as she puts away her things. Then she comes back and randomly kisses me on my cheek and lays back down.

"You don't need to get hurt to get a kiss from me you just have to ask" she says sarcastically

I don't know why but that hit different like I don't know it felt a little too real or something. I quickly snapped out of it because she was looking at me all weird. I think I was thinking too much and it showed on my face.

"God Maybe we do need to go to the hospital" she says as she laughs

Yea I got a paper cut and I remembered that. I remember when our relationship was a friendship and it was so pure. I hate and blame myself for ever thinking it was okay to get romantically involved with her. It was nice having a friend I was comfortable around with but I guess I got too comfortable.

I put my finger in my mouth because it was bleeding way too much for some reason. Then someone opened my door and it was John. I was actually really upset at the fact that he quit like he needs to make his own decisions and stop hoping I'll fall for him.

"Hey" he says

"Hi John" I say with my finger in my mouth

"Are you okay?" He ask

"Yea just got a paper cut can I help you?"

"Just wanted to come say hi coworker" he says

"You're really stupid John like really stupid" i says

"Why?" He ask when a hurt look on his face

"You shouldn't have quit over me and don't deny it because I know you did"

"No I told you she's been a jerk just because you knew a different side of her doesn't mean shit" he says

"Just get out" I say

"No you need to stop caring for people who never cared for you and start seeing people like me who would do anything to make you feel okay instead of letting people call you names" he says

"I'm sorry John but I don't need anyone to watch over me okay just because we work together again doesn't mean I'm letting you back into my bed or anything" I say

He just walks out. God maybe Dua was right love just doesn't exist nowadays, it's just obsession over someone now. Or maybe I just fell in love with the wrong person. I laugh in my mind because it is something I would do isn't it?

Working for Rita wasnt difficult at all she wasn't even around to bother me as much either and it wasn't as heavy as it was at Duas. Dua was sort of surpassing a lot of people in her category since she released Future Nostolgia. The only bad thing about this job is that since it wasn't heavy all I could do is think and think.

•flashback•

Dua was on her tour and I was with her every night I felt like a groupie or something because I was sleeping with the her almost every night and everywhere. Every night I saw people adoring her every move, she was just so electrifying to look at I couldn't blame them.

I was behind stage sometimes and I would be holding a water for her each time she was done with a song she would run to me and drink the entire bottle. Her sweat running down each time was probably the hottest thing I've ever seen. She was so passionate about performing and whenever anyone is passionate about anything it just makes them glow.

"It's so bonkers out there" she screams in my ear because of the crowd being too loud

"You're doing great"

"I wouldn't be able to do it without you love" she says while looking passionately to my lips

I knew she wanted to kiss me so bad but we were afraid someone would see us. I loved and hated the tension though it was a big tease. I grabbed a towel and pat her neck and forehead and god did I just want to kiss her.
