"simon stop texting your boyfriend and put your phone down. you know we all need to talk." josh said sternly.

"oh no... he's not my-" simon started before vikk cut him off.

"don't try the 'he's not my boyfriend' shit. if he isn't now he will be soon." vikk sassed followed by a chuckle.

"right so, as you all know it's too busy at the restaurant. we need more staff." josh started the discussion, waiting for someone to chip in.

"but who though? i thought the idea of this place was that we started with people we knew." jj said, the others nodding in agreement.

"yeah well everyone we know has jobs." ethan complained, mentally cursing his friends for having their shit together.

"we could all just step up how much we do?" tobi suggested.

"we need an extra person though. someone we can actually rely on." vikk mumbled.

"i could ask harry?" simon suggested, hoping it would kill two birds with one stone.

"what lover boy?" jj asked.

"yeah..." simon trailed out, he couldn't tell if the others were for or against the idea.

"doesn't he live in guernsey?" josh asked. location seemed to be the only problem with simon's suggestion.

"for now. he wants to move here but he hasn't got a job or a place to live. at least if he has a job he can look for places to stay." simon explained.

"if he gets a job he'll move in with freezy and lux." tobi told them. "they've been asking him for a while but he's been refusing until he knows he can pay his keep."

"can we trust him?" jj asked.

"yeah, he's a good kid. heart of gold." tobi said, the relief immediately coursing through simon's body.

"well we'll need to chat with him. preferably without simon, he's too biased. then we can see if we think he can do the job." josh said, seeming happy with this option.

"okay then it's settled."

"bog when are you moving in with us?" freezy asked, nudging the smaller in the side.

"you still want me to?" harry asked.

"of course we do, we have done this whole time you idiot." callux told him, shaking his head whilst laughing.

"but i don't have a jo-"

"then find one." calfreezy cut him off, fed up of the same excuse.

"i will soon." harry promised, to himself more than the others.

"you can see simon more then." lux smirked, dramatically taking a sip of his drink.

harry's face immediately started to burn, the bright pink hues creeping across his skin. cal and cal looked at each other before looking back at harry.

"we know you like him. he likes you too." freezy smiled.

harry just nodded, not knowing what to say. he desperately needed a job. the two cal's were his best mates and simon was surely his future boyfriend or whatever. he wanted to move here, for all three of them.
