I saw Van in the kitchen when i walked into the living room to get my fags
"Thought you stopped" he said
"I did" I chuckled walking into the kitchen
"I'll walk you to work in a bit" he said handing me a cup of tea "you don't have to" i said looking at him "I want to, love" he said kissing my cheek softly sitting down
"Thank you" i whispered "for what?" He asked "being here helping me, even though i acted like a total dickhead towards you" i sighed taking a sip of my tea "that's doesn't matter anymore yeah? Let's just forget 'bout that" he said with a smile i nodded "i need to talk to Steve" I sighed "he'll come 'round if his ya truly mate yeah?" He said brushing his hand trough his hair "I suppose" I whispered
-
"Thank you for walking me" i said "I'll call you alright?" He asked "yeah that's fine" i whispered smiling he leaned in and kissed me on my lips "I should probably get going now" i chuckled pulling away he nodded "good luck suga" he said smiling
I walked into the building and sighed
I didn't want to get fired.
"Oh look who decided to come" Steve chuckled looking at me "can we talk later?" I said he sighed "why?" He asked "you know what? If you don't wanna talk then that's fine you know" i said with an eyebrow raised "I didn't mean to like-" he started "save it" i spit
"Lexi?" My boss asked "yes, i wanted to speak to you" i said looking at him "well, i have a meeting right now but I'm free around ten?" He said "perfect thank you" i said shaking his hand he gave me a small smile and walked away "you seriously think you still have the job?" Eric asked walking past me "why wouldn't i?" I said "cause you are fucking trash? Everyone knew that from the start-" he started "aye shut up for a second can ya? No one ever told him you fucked Troy in the toilet in the building when your lunch break was five teen minutes over" Steve said smirking at him
I chuckled looking at Eric who was swallowing and shaking his head
He walked away leaving me and Steve alone
"That rockstar of yours is in town then?" Steve asked i sat down looking at him "he isn't my- he helped me getting on with my life again" i whispered "and by that you mean shagging-" he started "for fuck sake Steve!" I said raising my voice "i was taking a piss of ya! so his back? how long is he staying?" Steve asked looking at his computer "don't know yet, but what does it matter to you?" I asked him knitting my eyebrows together "listen Lexi, i just don't want you to get hurt again by him alright? Your me best mate i don't wanna lose you over such a stupid argument you know what i mean?" He signed i nodded "I know but you gotta accept him." I whispered looking at my phone

From van x :

I smiled and then looked at Steve
"Did you even listen?" He asked
I shook my head "no sorry what did you say?" I asked Steve sighed and stood up
"I asked if you could hang 'round tonight mate" he said i looked outside being in my own little world "aye wake up!" Steve said
"I'm-"
"Lexi, meeting is over come this way" my boss said i stood up and shot Steve a weak smile before entering a black and white classy room
"So, are you alright?" He asked in his east London accent "yeah i suppose i am now, I'm sorry i haven't been active lately and didn't show up i had a rough time, i know i should've called or anything" i said sitting down in a leather chair
He nodded looking outside "you lucky" he whispered looking at me "you are one of the best people i have 'ere so you can start again next week on Monday" he said sitting down looking at his laptop "what really? I mean this is like a proper-" I started saying being confused "you better go before i change my mind" he chuckled i stood and shook his head
"You better not mess this up again" he chuckled "I will never" I smiled walking out of the room.
"So, you still have the job then?" Steve asked with a pen laying between his lips "yes i have" i smirked walking into the lift.
I looked into the lift mirror and fixed my hair and lipstick before the silver doors opened
When i walked out of the building i got another message
From van x :

I chuckled and walked to my favorite bar after calling van.
"Ello, love" he said as i sat next to him smiling "how was it?" He asked "I still have the job and Steve wants to talk tonight." I said looking at van he clenched his jaw and nodded looking away "something's wrong?" I asked him putting off my jacket "i-i don't know what to- i Lexi" he started "yes?" I asked "I'm leaving tomorrow morning." He whispered looking at me i looked confused at him but nodded
"Yeah that's-" i started "that's why i- you know" he sighed looking at me
I swallowed and nodded "yeah i understand" i whispered "don't be angry with me?" He said "i just- i though you stayed longer then a couple days you know what i mean?" I said picking at my nails "yes love, but I'm coming back soon so no need to worry" he whispered kissing my cheek i pulled away "Lexi?" He asked "it's just- you fuckin' always tell me you'll come back soon and there's no need to worry and that but i just- i don't seem to believe in that" i said looking at him with watery eyes
"So what you wanna do then?" He whispered
"I just want to be sure, about us, look at us we weren't even a thing this is-" I started "Lexi don't leave" he said as i stood up grabbing my jacket "you know i don't seem to understand why i should stay, take care van" i sighed walking out of the bar

"Hello?" I said as someone knocked on my door i unlocked the door and looked at who it was "you are a night person aren't you?" I sighed seeing van "I just don't sleep" he whispered lighting a ciggy "what's wrong?" I asked "everything Lexi, i want you to be with me and go on tour with me and live life with me and all those things." He said looking straight into my eyes "so you want us to be official?" I asked confused "more than that" he whispered walking closer to me i closed my eyes and swallowed feeling his lips against my skin "I don't want you to go" i whispered
