"Amelia," I hear Liam say besides me as I watch Alexander and my mom talk animatedly.

"William," I say smirking at him. He knew I didn't like formality in our relationship outside of my career.

"Your flight for Phoenix has been checked and the condo is ready for your stay...if you chose to to reside there." he says and I frown at the tone of his voice and his empty words.

"Is everything okay, Liam?" I ask worriedly. He'd been my manager, partner and friend since I was sixteen; If something was bothering him he knew he could tell me about it.

"Everything is fine, I just realized that at the end of the day I am your manager." he says and I grab his hand immediately. This was not my Liam talking.

"Hey, you know you are more than just my manager. You're apart of the family and you're my friend. One of my bestest." I say, adding in a smile at the end.

"Just tell me what's bothering you so I can cheer you up and annoy you," I say, poking his side.

"You gave an official statement about your relationship with Alex and Lance told me today that you're in talk with a new management." he says and I look at him shocked and amused.

"First...never trust a word that comes from E! News and Lance was just yanking your chain. I am not dating Alexander, nor am I leaving you for another management, silly. Now, stop pouting and enjoy yourself...mingle." I say, twirling in his arms.

"Ugh, what am I going to do with you." he say, rolling his eyes and I pay him no mind.

"So...are you going to move into the condo while your in Phoenix?" Liam asks, pulling me in and making us sway. He twirls me out.

"She most certainly will not," I hear Alexander say behind me, his arms going around me waist.

"And why not?" I ask him curiously.

"Because you're suppose to be moving in with us," he says and I frown.

"You guys got the green light to do so?" I ask and he nods.

"Well, I still want the condo for when my family visits and who knows...maybe Elaine and Janey will visit too. It would save them money for hotels." I tell him and he nods.

"I see your point," he says, kissing the side of my head.

"I'll leave you two to it," Liam says winking at me and walking off. I turn to face Alexander who refuses to unwrap his arms around my waist.

"You've got comfortable," I say, wrapping my arms around his shoulders.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?" he asks suddenly and I chuckle lightly before shaking my head.

"It was just an observation," I say.

"I don't know...I just feel like I can be this way with you. It's like second nature to me, it feels to natural." he says as Dylan passes us announcing his departure.

"See you guys, tomorrow." Dylan says, wrapping his arms around both of us and I kiss his cheek.

"Bye Dyl," I say to him.

"Drive safely and text one of us when you get home." Alexander says sternly and Dylan nods before leaving.

"Look whose out, father knows best." I say cunningly and he squeezes my waist.

"Hey, besides Kenny, he's our youngest. I just want to make sure he's safe." he says and I nod, understanding.

"I get it," I tell him.
