'are you hungry?' he asks as he drives down the street.

'yeah.'

'aight.' he says as he takes a turn.

'how do you know new york so well already?' i ask as he shrugs with a small smirk. he parks outside a costa and we get out as we walk inside.

'oh my god.' i whisper as he looks down at me concerned.

'you good?' he asks as i nod before turning to my side where i heard someone shouting my name as i take a few pictures before oakley wraps his arm around my shoulders, pulling me away.

'are you two dating?' i hear from somewhere near oakley as he pays, both of us just laughing. as we wait, i scroll on my phone, feeling him watch over my shoulder.

'fucking hell they're fast.' i murmur as i show him pictures of us captioned: friends or dating? he doesnt pay it any attention as we walk to the car with all our stuff. i sit down, crossing my legs and turning to face him as i start eating.

'lemme see.' he murmurs as i pass him my phone as he reads the article. 'it's fine, we're just friends innit.' i roll my eyes as i take my phone back, finishing my food before facing forwards.

'when are you going back to london?' i ask softly as he starts driving towards my apartment.

'uhh, wednesday.' he mutters.

'oh.' i reply, disappointed, and i'm sure he hears it in my voice because he turns to look at me briefly.

'when are you coming to london?' he asks me as i look at him confused.

'i dont know. i'm busy.' i murmur as he nods. once he parks and we get out of the car, he takes my hand and walks to the lift as we wait.

'what's this?' i ask with a smile as i hold our hands up and he shrugs, kissing my lips once again before stepping into the lift.

'i don't care if it's fast, i want to be your boyfriend again.' he murmurs as the doors close and i look up at him.

'how are we gonna make it work?' i ask as he can probably sense the uncertainty in my voice.

'i'll come here, you come to london.' he speaks as i shake my head.

'you know what i mean.' i speak as he wraps his arms around my waist.

'with you it's different, you know that. i would never even think of cheating on you.' he says seriously as i look up at him.

'you have such doe eyes.' i speak as he scoffs, making me laugh. 'no, i heard you don't worry, i just don't know what to say.'

'alright don't say anything.' he speaks as we walk out of the lift.

'oakley.' i groan as he turns to me and i kiss him, his hands going to my waist as he kisses me back. reluctantly, i pull away and open the door, pulling him by his hand gently as he shuts the door behind him.

'how was the sex?' i hear valerie yell before she walks in, seeing oakley.

'oh my god.' i mutter, hiding my face as i hear valerie laugh nervously and oakley and zack just laugh.

'how was your sex?' i ask between the two of them as zack wraps an arm around valerie's shoulders.

'it was—' zack begins before i interrupt him.

'absolutely fucking not.' i yell as i walk over to the fridge, hearing them laugh at me.

'so i'm guessing you'll make a song together then?' val asks as oakley looks between me and valerie.

i look at oak who just shrugs. 'i'll do whatever you want to do.'

'okay great so you'll be making a song.' val speaks before i get a chance to interrupt her. i feel oak come up behind me, pressing his lips to my shoulder as he places soft kisses there, making me move closer to him.

'get a room.' i hear as i stick my middle finger up at my brother before taking oakley's hand, dragging him to my room as he shuts the door behind him and i sigh.

'you okay?' he asks me as i nod.

'i need to mentally prepare myself for when you leave.' i murmur, wrapping my arms around his shoulders as his wrapped around my waist, the two of us just standing there as we hold each other.

'come to london with me. please.' he murmurs as i look up at him, seeing how serious he was being.

'everyone will think we're together.' i speak as he scoffs.

'i don't give a shit, you'll stay with me and mason and you'll see all your other brothers and their girlfriends too. it's what you wanted to do right?'

'yeah but i don't know if i have the time.' i murmur as he shakes his head, dropping his forehead to mine.

'you do. ill make valerie cover for you or whatever or put everything on hold. just for 2 weeks.'

'2 weeks?' i say as he nods.

'that's the minimum.' he says as i chuckle. there's a beat of silence as i think over everything he just said to me.

'alright.' i murmur.

'alright?' he repeats with a smile as he kisses me repeatedly, making me smile.

'yeah, i'll go to the ghetto with you.' i say as we laugh.
