❀Courtney's POV❀

I was in a local cafe near my flat, I wanted to just go back to that cozy feeling. Smelling coffee in the morning, it had that weird but always sort of- gentle feeling. So, I drove my cozy bum to a cafe and I sat near the window all alone. I just got some matcha green tea and placed it by my computer. Whenever, I touched the cup my ring made a satisfying noise. That it reminded me of someone. Working on some designs for Sidemen clothing, I sketched out a random crest. Kind of veering from my task at hand, I seem to have come up with a design. Putting that confidentiality into my backpack, I took out a book and I reached inside my back once again. Placing my wireless beats on, I put on this song that's been stuck in my head and I am tuned out from the world.

Do you ever feel like someone is starring at you? Well I began to feel that from every direction. The feeling that crawls onto your skin, making your hairs raise and your goosebumps visible. It's either I look right, towards a window or left, towards a place filled with civilians. click. Placing my thumb between pages, I looked left noticing a tall- dirty blonde hair - maybe early twenties guy. He's eyes sharply went back to the barista handing him his hot drink. I felt his presence coming closer and slightly hearing a voice speak to me. Taking off my headphones placing it around my neck, I looked up at the stranger. click.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, I was just saying how you probably wouldn't like the ending of it," he said taking a short sip after placing his hand in his jeans pocket.
"No one likes a spoiler."
"Oh, shit, my name is Harrison. Bad move on my part," he said extending his arm.
"Courtney."
"Sorry if I came off as a creep, you're just really pretty." He replied as we cordially shook hands.
"Thank you," I peeped at my watch and I was going to help Tobi film a video. I placed my book in my backpack, zipping it. "I have to get going, nice meeting you though," I said getting up and he gently took my hand placing a quick kiss on the back of my hand.
"It's been a pleasure," I took my hand away quickly giving him a glare. Hearing a 'a hem' noise from the line this girl served this Harrison guy a crude look.
"And you wanna know something that is worse than spoilers? is a player." I said smiling and exiting the cafe. I left the cafe with a big goofy smile, placing my headphones around my ears playing the same song. It was a two days before Valentine's Day and Simon and I both agreed to not get anything for each other. But me being hard-headed I got these shoes he's been on a waitlist for. Plus I got the hookup and got him a pair of black Yezzy Boost creps.

Time flew by today and Lewis invited me to the Sidemen warehouse, only me because Freya went to her parents earlier this morning. After I came out the shower I clicked my phone and it was already seven, and I haven't eaten anything in a bit.

Simon:
pill love

{received 7:18 p.m.}

Something I forgot to mention was that, I am now on birth control. Yup, I have endured some of the effects during January. Simon and I had a very adult conversation about this, coming to an agreement. I wanted to as well, not just because of not using protection but I genuinely had a painful menstrual period. My doctor recommended me to use it as well. Now everyday between 6-8 p.m. Simon always reminds me to take it. Now since this no protection situation is here, I told Simon we should get tested. Obviously, being a man they get offended, so we bickered about that for a while. But, we did it. Clean and cleared {lol}. Enough of that talk, but I ordered some dominos for delivery to the warehouse.

"Hello?!" I yelled as my voice echoed in the big area. Then hearing running towards me and it was the man himself, Lewis.
"Heyy good looking gyal," he said picking me up and spinning me around.
"Lewis! I'm going to throw up on you," I said laughing as he finally put me down. "Where are the others?"
"Probably recording, but you have some sketches to show me?" I nodded and I took the papers out of my bag. As we walked to the main area, that had a plethora of boxes filled with Sidemen related goodies. Placing it on the table, he grabbed a pencil and a separate sheet of paper. "Okay what if we added like- okay - shit what is this? It's sick though,"
"It's like a crest thing, I'm only saying crest because I remember when I was younger I always seem to this same thing. It's weird..."

Talking designs was a breath of fresh air, Lewis was one of the few people who understood a vision. Branching it into clothing, a ring from outside and he was quick to ask who that was.
"Pizza."
Paying and tipping I brought the pizza placing it on the table, opening the box it was like looking at heaven. I grabbed a slice and Lew took two placing them in top of each other. "Are you seeing anyone?"
"Chatting, but- eh no. I met this girl at the club we went to and I got her number but I'm pretty sure she knew who we were. Probably wanted to use us to get closer to someone, she was always asking to come over- like here or to the Sidemen house."
"Your woman is out there somewhere, trust me. She's looking for you too."

Time passed and I got a FaceTime call from Simon. I answered and it took a little while to load.
"What do you want? I'm working!" I said jokingly.
"Shittin hell, hello. Watcha doing?"
"I'm just finishing up over here," I said panning the background showing him where I was.
"Oh, okay. By the way you could pick up whatever from the clothes -"
"Why did you call?"
"Jeez-"
"You're slowing down my process." I joked.
"She's basically telling you to fuck off!" Lewis yelled from the hallway, making his way towards the main room.
"Suck your mum!" Ending in a light chuckle, "anyway you should come over and cuddle, I've had a stressful day," he said smiling at the camera. He still had his headphones on from recording.
"Is my toothbrush still there?"
"I'll check," he group walking in his bathroom opening calumets and drawers , "yeah." He walked back sat on his chair," so please?" He said smiling at the camera.

"Whateverrr," I said smiling walking back to the clothes

"Whateverrr," I said smiling walking back to the clothes.  " ok I'm gonna cop some clothes, ok uhhh this one, this one." I ended up with a lot of shirts oops?
Still on FaceTime talking to Simon, Lewis said he would help me with the shirts, hoodies and pants. We brought it to my car putting it in the backseat, "thank you Lew. "
"Eh it's no biggy. I'll see you tomorrow, I have to stop by the house. I got business with Josh, starting somethin up. But I'm about to leave too so."
I hopped in my car starting it up, he shut my door. I inched my way out as we exited the warehouse lot in two different directions. I don't know, but I feel like Lewis is off. Maybe not.

I arrived to the house, and the gate opened without me paging it. Meaning someone was waiting for me. Going around the driveway, I stopped turning off the car and got out. It was freezing outside, and I scurried into a tall, red headed man.
"Baby! I'm freezing," I said hugging him tightly.
"It's not that bad-"
"Well you could sleep out here then, I'll go sleep in your room."

We walked inside, and I always go say hi to the guys. So Simon went to his room, as I made my way to Vik's room first. Empty. Weird, he lives in this room. Josh had a post it note that said streaming, so I didn't want to impede. And JJ wasn't home either. Walking into Simon's room he was sat at his bed on his phone. I took of my shoes, and plopped next to him fully embracing him. Simon's arms surrounded my body as his scent lingered around me. The fresh, clean masculine scent.

Our phones were on silent and we literally spent hours talking. No distractions. Nothing. But. Us.

"V day is around the corner, and I'm taking you out for dinner. Let's be super cheesy love." He said as we finished brushing our teeth. I smiled and pressed my lips against his.
"I would love that babe. Look at you taking initiative, I like that - love it." He left the bathroom and proceeded to turn off the lights. I swiftly took off my bra keeping a new tshirt on, and taking off my sweats still keeping my underwear on. He sat on my side of the bed, and I stopped from walking.
"What is this?" I said and the room was lit by the bed side lamp, so I saw his huge smile.
"Move me then," he said thinking I would try. Instead I went on his side of the bed and he was in a playful mood so he got on top of me and pecked my lips. The night ended with fooling around and constant laughing.

Simon's POV:

She is the one.
