A short while later, Cheryl pulled up in the small car park by the office owned by her management. She loved the freedom of being able to drive around again on her own after winning a court case to stop the paparazzi following her car. Just before she was about to climb out of her huge 4x4, her phone suddenly buzzed in her bag. She quickly took it out and looked at the screen, instantly getting butterflies.
<U r sooooo hot ;p xxxx> she giggled to herself, reading Tre’s message.
<U r sooooo sexy xxxx> She replied, grinning to herself as she got out of the car and walked happily into the office block.
“Chezzie!!!” Lily instantly screamed, jumping up from her desk to give Cheryl a big hug. “I feel like I haven’t seen you for ages!” she laughed, squeezing her tight.
“Haha...ya numpty! It's been like two or three days, hasn't it?” she answered, finally being released by her rather over enthusiastic friend.
“Well that’s too long!!! I’m used to seeing you every day!” she complained, beckoning Cheryl to come and sit down on the black leather sofa in the corner of the room. “How's Tre? Did he get here alright?”
“He's great” Cheryl answered, a beaming smile glowing on her face which Lily noticed immediately.
“Oh yeahhhh? Look at you smiling like a Cheshire cat!” she joked, tickling Cheryl’s sides, making her throw her head back laughing as she curled up into the corner of the sofa. “You guys been spending more time together then?”
“Yeah, you could say that!” Cheryl chuckled, seeing the nosy glint in Lily’s eye. “He’s kinda just been at mine constantly! We went to Justin’s birthday thing last night as well, so he’s had the Kimberley and Nicola experience already!”
“Ha...bless him! Bet he was terrified!...Did he survive it then?” Lily joked.
“Yeah they loved him!” she smiled happily. “...and he got on great with Justin too, so that’s nice.”
“Aww babe, I’m so happy for you, he's a lovely guy...I can't actually believe this is all happening though, can you?” Lily squeezed her hand as Cheryl shook her head, scrunching her nose up cutely. “...So is it gonna turn into something serious then?” she quizzed, a mischievous look on her face.
“Who knows eh? Anything could happen when it comes to me!” she replied, pausing for a bit before quietly adding “I hope so though” making Lily aww and wrap her arms around her for another hug.
“Well we can all have a catch up soon because I'm very pleased to inform you, Miss Cole, that your live performances have been booked and will be including a certain Mr Holloway and Tyrell Washington...plus others” she explained in a posh, formal voice before laughing at herself.
“Ooooo yes! Tyrell too?...it’s gonna be wicked! Tell me some of the performances then!!” Cheryl bounced up and down, clapping her hands excitedly.
“Haha!...OK, so we've got ‘The Voice’ first and that's in just over a week’s time, so we'll be getting cracking asap!...and you also have ‘The Graham Norton show’, a MTV special and you’re going to be a surprise guest at the 'Capital Summertime ball', so keep your big mouth shut!” Lily warned, wagging her finger bossily as Cheryl beamed back.
“Wow! I can’t wait honestly!...I've missed performing soooo much!” Cheryl whined, lying back on the sofa.
“And you have loads of TV interviews too. You're booked for the next series of Alan Carr and Jonathon Ross, but they aren't for a while yet.” Lily laughed as Cheryl fist pumped the air and did a little victory dance.
