Andrea was finishing up the spread for Roy's merch. She had finished editing Enya's Chapter 3 shirt design last week. She sat on her couch with Joba, her legs resting in her lap as she messed around with the different designs.

The two had been together for a month already, and though they never explicitly labeled anything, they both knew they were an item and were really happy about it. They were both similar in many ways, but it really matched their dynamic.

They guarded themselves and many times put up a wall with people because they were scared of getting hurt, but both of them found it really easy to open up to one another. They didn't have to lie about who they were because they were comfortable showing themselves.

Andrea exhaled in relief as she finished the final hoodie design and laid back with a huff, closing her laptop. She had been working on this stuff for weeks and nothing ever felt right.

"You done, babe?" Joba asked, hands resting on her calves. He looked up from his phone as Andrea put her laptop on the coffee table.

"I guess so."

"You're always trying way too hard to make everything perfect. You're talented."

"Stop saying cute things." Andrea smiled, sitting up and kissing him softly.

"Can't help it, a bitch is cute." Joba joked, cupping her face with his hand and kissing her again.

The two were really enjoying the privacy at home. Alicia had to fly out to New York for work and she had been there for a whole week. She was missing her friends in LA but work kept her occupied.

She had been texting Matt and Ian all day, which made her a lot less lonely. The hotel that the label put her in was also pretty nice and she was enjoying the food service. She snacked on some pita chips as she opened her text messages with Matt.
