i unlocked my front door, going inside, after about a half an hour long walk with the dogs, and went into the kitchen and filled up each of their bowls with biscuits and water, which they immediately drank and ate some of, and my phone started ringing, grace, (my sister's name) popping up on the screen.

"hey."

"hey el, are you free today? because we are and dyl wants to see you."

"yeah, why don't you come over, i'm just about to cook lunch, so you can join me?" i offered.

"are you sure? that would be lovely, thank you."

"of course, you can come over now, if you like."

"we'll be there in twenty. thank you, see you in a bit."

"bye bye." i said, hanging up, and turned on bluetooth, connecting it to the house's sound system, and played music just in the kitchen and living room, before just putting southern fried chicken and chips in the oven, knowing that was dylan's favourite.

i set the table and began cooking some veg, which would undoubtedly not be touched by dylan, and soon enough twenty minutes was up.

the doorbell rang and i opened it, "hello, do i know you?" i teased, crouching down to dylan.

"yeah, i'm dylan." he giggled.

"i don't think i know a dylan?" i grinned.

"you do! me!" dylan insisted, giggling.

"i'm kidding." i giggled, pulling him in for a hug, "hey, dyl."

i pulled away from the hug and he immediately ran towards louis on the sofa.

"hey, el." grace smiled, hugging me.

"hiya." i said, returning her smile.

"dyl, do you want juice?" i asked, going over to the sofa where dylan was playing with louis and i picked up a shy bambi, putting her on the kitchen island.

"yes please." dylan nodded and i poured him a glass, before sitting on a stool at the island, grace sitting next to me.

"so how've you been?" grace asked as i gently fussed bambi when she sat next to me, resting her head on her paws and closing her eyes contentedly.

"i've been fine, yeah. i think i really like this guy, but I don't know.." i mumbled.

"who? how did you meet him or get to know him?"

"um, he's called reece. he's in a trio band called new hope club, and they're signed to the vamps' record label. i've known him for a few weeks, but never really spoken to him. i first met him because i know george, one of his band mates, and he introduced us, but then last night i was at a party and the three of them were there, and reece came over to me, then we left and came here and chilled then...um, yeah...and then he stayed over and left like an hour ago."

"do you have a photo of him?"

"one sec." i said, pulling up his instagram and showing grace some of his best photos.

"he's hot." she admitted, giggling and i nodded, my phone buzzing.

blake: reece basically just declared his love for you

"oooh, looks like he likes you too." grace winked.

me: aw thanks reece :)

blake: he's upset bc you keep apparently teasing him

incoming facetime call from blake...

"hi." i grinned when it connected, being met with blake's smiling face, "this is grace, my sister." i said, motioning to her.

"hi." blake said, before sitting between george and reece, getting them both in shot.

"hey, el." george waved.

"hi george." i smiled before blake put his phone close to reece's face.

"say hello." he ordered.

"you're so awkward." reece laughed, before looking at the camera, "hi, you okay?" he smiled.

"yeah, thank you." i said and george took blake's phone.

"basically, we wondered if we could come over later? because i miss you as we haven't properly spoken in a while, blake misses you, and reece loves you, so..." george said and i giggled.

"um, yeah, sure. you can come over tonight or something?" i offered.

"will you order dominos?" george asked.

"of course." i laughed.

"okay, we're coming. can we come around six?"

"okay." i said, giggling a little.

"thanks, see you later." george grinned.

"bye." blake and reece said, and george hung up.

"boys." grace sighed, giggling as i set my phone back down on the counter, agreeing with her, before going to check on the food.
