--Ella's Pov--

I stare at the spoon in Chris's hand and try to run. He grabs my waist and spins me around rubbing the batter on my forehead. He starts laughing as I scream when it drops down my face.

"Ella?" Chip yells running into the kitchen. He freezes when he turns the corner seeing Chris's arm around me. He drops his hand and backs away looking awkward.

"I didn't know you were coming over," I tell him as he walks over placing the box on the counter. He gives me a sweet smile before glancing at Chip.

"Sorry, mate," he says before turning to me, "I should probably get going. I'll leave you guys to finish these," Chris says walking towards the door. I try to say something but there isn't much I can say that won't make things even more awkward. When Chris shuts the door Chip walks over dipping his finger into the batter.

"Excuse you," I giggle, "How did the video shoot go?" I ask as he corners me against the counter with his arms. He leans down and I smile as I taste the batter on his lips.

"It was okay. Nothing special," he says walking to the fridge. He pulls out a water and I can tell he's trying to figure out how my talk with Chris went.

"Chris says he we back off," I tell him when he turns around, "But only if you talk to him. He doesn't see me in a romantic way," I assure him.

"You guys have known each other for like a day. Why should I have to talk to him?" He says with a sassy look in his eyes. I poke his stomach making him curl up as I turn back around. He sighs before agreeing to talk to him as I scoop the batter into cupcake tins.

"Oh, the sidemen guys are talking about the charity match for this year," he says as I look over my shoulder at him.

"Are you playing?" I ask surprised he would want to.

"No, I was just wondering if you'd go with me," he asks.

"That's a little while away. Are you that sure we will be together by then?" I ask as he puts his hands on my waist. He kisses my cheek before resting his chin on my shoulder.

"I've never been more sure of anything," he whispers making butterflies fill my stomach.

A couple hours later we are finally decorating the cupcakes. Kelsey and Arthur joined up a couple of minutes ago. Apparently, he's the best cupcake decorator we will ever see. So far I'm a little skeptical as he turns his around, "It's a pig," he says looking at it. Kelsey looks at the more orange-than-pink pig and gives him a sympathetic smile.

"It's cute," she says widening her eyes at us when he looks away.

"I made a cow," I tell them as Chip turns his around showing a mouse.

"Did we all do animal?" Kelsey asks showing off her lion. They aren't the best-looking cupcakes but we can tell what they are which deserves an A+ in my book, "Did you guys plan your date for tomorrow?" She asks as I wash my hands of icing. I look back at the guys sitting at the table and shake my head, "Knowing Chip he will take you take Lego land," she says making me laugh.

"I would kind of love that though. Who doesn't like making Lego creations?" I ask as she smiles.

"I'm really happy he finally came to his senses. But I'm serious. If he hurts you...he won't be able to walk," she says as I widen my eyes at her.

"Noted," I whisper as we start walking back over. Arthur has icing on his nose as he stares in disbelief at Chip.

"The little asshole threw his cupcake at me," he says. I turn to Chip and see his entire face covered in the same color as Arthur's "pig".

"I wonder why?" He asks as Kelsey and I lose it.
