I stood in line for meet and greet, my hands shaking and covered in blue glitter.
I hadn't seen Ashley in years, since she moved to LA to pursue her music career. I spent hours on Twitter keeping up with her and watching her travel the world with her friends and fans. It was a beautiful world she had created and I was thankful to be a part of it.
She hadn't seen me since she was about 20. Apart from her hair, she hasn't changed all that much. But I have.
My hands continued to shake, sending glitter flying all over the floor.
Pretty quickly it was my turn and I went in through the curtain to Ashley.
"Hi!...y/n?!" Her jaw dropped "What the fuck, oh my god!" She ran towards me and hugged me "Y/n!"
I giggled "Hey! Surprise!"
She clapped her hands "I gotta get a selfie!" She grabbed her phone and took a bunch of selfies of us, before hugging me again.
"I honestly didn't think I'd see you again" she said "How are you?"
I gave her a small smile "I've been better"
She was about to question me but decided against it. She grabbed my hand instead and pulled me towards the photo booth "Come on, we gotta get pictures!"
We took a bunch of pictures together. Mostly they were of us smiling and laughing and hugging each other.
She was surprised to find I hadn't changed my number. She texted me her hotel and room number and told me to meet her there later.
And so for two hours, I waited out in the cold, gently sipping on cider and smoking cigarettes. I stared at the moon and stars and reminded myself of when we were young and Ashley and I would go to see The 1975 together. Our song was "Sex" and we'd scream the lyrics for all to hear, especially the line "If we're gonna do anything, we might as well just fuck".
I reminisced until I saw Ashley's wild blue hair peeking from beneath a black hoodie.
"Oi Ash!" I called her over. She jumped a little, not expecting me before she scurried over.
"Hi" she squeaked "We gotta go, quickly!"
She grabbed my hand tightly and together, we ran down the street to her hotel.
It wasn't until we were inside her hotel room we stopped running. She started to laugh.
"Sorry y/n, it's hectic being famous"
I smiled "It's fine Frangipane"
She hugged me really tightly, her arms enveloping my whole body "I've missed you massively y/n, I can't believe you came"
"Of course I did! I wasn't going to miss you!"
She smiled up at me "You're my number one stan"
"Duh"
She laughed into my chest, interlocking her fingers behind my back. I was taller than her, so my arms kind of awkwardly rested on her sides, just above her hips.
We just stood there hugging for ages. Not that I was complaining. It was the best place in the world; in Ashley's arms.
"You mean the world to me Ash" you whisper in her ear.
She moved her head to look you straight in the eye "You mean that?"
"Why would I lie?"
She smiled "Even though I kissed your best friend?"
"Bitch, don't lie to me" I rolled my eyes "You didn't just kiss Zach"
She giggled before going seriously again "Really though?"
"Yes really!" I kissed her on the cheek "I promise"
She stayed silent for a moment, as did I.
"You missed" she eventually said quietly.
I raised an eyebrow at her "I missed?"
She nodded slowly "Mmh, when you kissed me"
I bit my lip "Where was I supposed to kiss you?"
Her eyes darted between my eyes and lips. It was only then I knew what she meant.
I gently cupped her face, softly stroking it, before I gently pressed my lips against hers.
She tightened her grip around me and deepened the kiss by slipping her tongue into my mouth.
We walked backwards and eventually fell backwards into her bed. She paused for some air, taking the opportunity to talk.
"Now I'm not trying to stop you love" she said, making me laugh. "But if we're gonna do anything-"
"WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST FUCK" I shouted, cutting across her.
She connected her lips to mine once more, before pulling away, smiling and biting her lip "Exactly"
