"Whoa, it smells fantastic in here." Joe said as he entered the flat with Byron.

They had gone to get some groceries and then stop by influencer to see Caspar and Josh. They walked into the kitchen and saw me pushing cupcakes into the oven.

"What are you making?" Byron asked.

"Cupcakes," I replied, "Then maybe some poison brownies."

"For me?" He smiled, putting his hand to his heart. "You're so thoughtful."

"Always," I replied sarcastically.

"Why are you making cupcakes?" Joe asked, pushing the grocery bags on the other counter.

"Conor is coming back today so I invited him over." I said. "The cupcakes are just a little welcome home gift."

"You should make a youtube channel." Joe said.

"Why?" I asked.

"You'd be a really good vlogger."

This comment caused Byron and I both to laugh.

"I'm seriously such a boring person." I said. "Plus all my fame would be from you."

"What are you talking about?"

I pulled my phone out, going on to instagram. I looked at the follower count since I'd taken my account off of private again.

"I have almost ten thousand followers." I said and showed him. "That's only because all of your friend's followed me and you tagged me in two pictures."

"Well you should still consider it." Joe said.

"I will," I nodded.

I slid my phone into my back pocket again just as the door to the flat flew open.

"I have arrived!" I heard Conor's voice.

I squealed and ran around the counter, out to the living area as he walked in.

"Conor," I smiled and ran over.

He caught me in a hug as I wrapped my arms around his neck. He lifted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist as I laughed slightly.

"I was only gone for six days." He said.

"I missed you though." I said as he placed me back on the ground.

I pulled back and looked at him as I smiled.

"Well from what you texted me last night and I'm kind of hoping you were drunk, the last few days have been crazy without me."

"You have no idea." Joe shook his head.

"It doesn't matter." I said and paused. "Also, yes I was drunk."

He laughed and put his arm around me, pulling me into his chest. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"It smells really good by the way. What is that?"

"Cupcakes, but they aren't done yet. I just put them in the oven."

"Can I help frost them?"

"Of course," I smiled.

"Hey, do you think she should make a youtube channel?" Joe asked Conor.

"If she wants to," He shrugged, "She'd have to be a vlogger though."

"I'm so boring though." I said.

"I'm leaving." Byron huffed and walked out.

"You're not that boring." Conor shrugged.
