The Science of Vlogging

Chapter 6 and BIG UPDATE

I am so sorry for my absence recently, and I promise you there have been many reasons behind this - ranging from mental illnesses, to injury to arguments with friends and I would just like to take the time to fully apologise for this.

I deserve it but it is heartbreaking how quickly I have plummeted down the rankings but I am determined to try and crawl my way back up there. Anywhere close to where I once was...

After a short staring match, a fight of wills to see who would look away first, Arrabella dropped her gaze fiddling with her hands shyly before she glanced up at the famous YouTuber she could still not believe was so casually leaning against the side of her broken down, crappy couch.

"fine...we can share the bed.." she muttered which earned a raised brow from the male in her vicinity who chuckled and prodded her slightly more 

"what was that? I don't think I heard it..."

With a small huff of air, allowing all the breath to rush from her lungs through her nose she repeated her statement from before but this time not looking up at Dante, knowing she would just see that knowing grin plastered across his face. Just like the one from the Chesire Cat in Alice in Wonderland.

Everything about him seemed so perfect. That was probably the reason he stuck out like a sore thumb in the middle of the small dingy room in her minuscule flat she called the living room. It wasn't much in the way of rooms, it was more like a cupboard or cleaning supplies closest.

She bit her lip before pointing to the door, just to the left of the open kitchen "that's the bathroom, it's only small and there is only one so we will have to work with that" She wisely left out the fact that there was hardly any hot water running through the pipes, and even how long she took in the shower - no doubt using up any that was even there in the first place.

She led Dante towards the bedroom, the one place in the flat that didn't resemble the rest of the broken down flat. It was decorated, the walls a nice eggshell blue colour, and with some pictures and posters covering the walls. Admittedly making it seem even smaller than it seemed already but it gave it more of a homely feel, a more comforting feel and she would take any comfort she could get at the moment.

But the bed was nice, it took up half the room and would be a squish but it was comfortable. One of those mattresses that moulded to the position you slept in so she was usually able to catch the few hours of sleep she needed

"you can unpack...make yourself feel at home" she murmured softly, wondering what they would do with any of the clothes he had packed and brought with him, she would probably have to empty her drawers slightly so he could have somewhere to store his clothes.

She glanced at him, he was looking around the room, most likely inspecting it and wondering if he actually wanted to sleep here or i it'd be wiser to crash in a hotel in town.

 He had those amazing piercing green eyes, which were, even more, captivating in real life compared to when she saw them through the screen of her laptop. And his hair, that rich, velvety auburn colour, and the curls which most men would never manage to get away with but he somehow managed to make it look good and sexy, hair you just wanted to run your hands through over and over again.

Fuck...was she actually even considering him attractive, she couldnt do that. They had become friends over the last few months and she couldnt ruin everything.

She managed to ruin every other friendship she'd ever had, so she couldnt exactly go about and ruin this one too! 

Realising, that they had both just been standing there  in silence for the last few minutes, she snapped back to reality and her cheeks turned a small red shade as she noticed that he had realised her staring and turned to look at  her.

"what would you like for dinner? we could get take out - chinese or indian?" she suggested as she fiddled with the bracelet around her wrist watching as Dante nodded his head slowly and she bit her lip before admitting "i was planning on filming today..i've never done that with someone else here so i guess, if you want..and you can say no, but you could join me on camera?" she couldnt believe she was suggesting this, but there was no way she was going back on this now.

Just act calm and confident and it will be great' she told herself, not believing a word of it
