I made that little edit, I think it's cute

I sat on the edge of the railing contently, eating my ice cream and talking to fans.

"How are you feeling? Are you better?" One asked sincerely.

I nodded, shoving another spoonful of vanilla into my mouth. "Oh yeah, I'm on vacay right now so everything is great. I'm looking into places to go with the fam once Vanessa is done shooting for Victoria's."

They cooed and I was happy none of them had their phones up. Over the past few days, I've come to hate being put on the spot by fans or paparazzi. I just wanted to have meaningfully conversations now, if that made sense. Blame that on my stupid ass almost ODing but I valued everything so much more now.

"You guys should go to Hawaii or like..Iceland." I nodded along to their suggestions just as I saw a man with a camera start to cross the street. I playfully groaned and they all laughed.

"How do you deal with that everyday?" I rolled my eyes and shrugged.

"You guys make it worth it." They cooed again and I looked down at my ice cream. "I'm so full-"

"Can I have it!" One girl nearly screamed. I cocked an eyebrow and she raised her hand.

"Are you sure? I mean..I ain't got diseases but are you sure?" She nodded rapidly and I shrugged before handing her the circle cup with half of the vanilla ice cream left.

"Hey Y/n, how are you?" I looked up as the man stopped next to the small group of fans. "How's post rehab life?"

I made a face at the fans and they giggled at me. "It's good man, how are you doing?"

"I'm good, I'm good. So can we expect you back in the studio anytime soon?" I leaned back on the rail and kicked my feet softly.

"Not now, no. Just having family time." I smiled before awwing when I saw a little boy coming out with an ice cream cone, clad in a Spider-Man suit. I jumped down before crouching down to her eye level. "Hey dude, I love the suit."

"Tanks." He said happily, licking away at his ice cream. "Is my favorite."

"He wears it everywhere." His mom said with a smile, rubbing the top of his head.

I smiled before looking back at him. "I would too if I had one as cool as this, high five bud." He hit my hand and I 'winced' "Woah, you even have Spider-Man strength." He gave me a toothy smile as I stood back up. "You guys have a good day." I told the mom and she thanked me before walking away.

"So uh, what happened with Dana? I thought you guys were dating but she's with Vivian?" The pap continued to question me while I walked back to the fans.

I didn't answer and settled for a smile. "Did you guys see the new Amandla Stenberg movie..it was uh.."

"The Hate U Give?" I snapped and nodded at the one who answered.

"Yes, that shit is like wow, amazing. And Amandla," I trailed off and held my hand to my chest. "She's so pretty, don't tell Vanessa I said that though."

"I'm telling." I jokingly pointed at her with a glare. "Just kidding."

I chuckled before grabbing my phone when it rang. "Hi baby." Vanessa said from the other end.

"Hey, how is the shoot?" I asked, chuckling when she huffed.

"It's so long and tiring. I also think the photographer has a thing for me which is gross." I raised my eyebrows before catching the eye of the paparazzi who was still standing there. "How about you? Having fun hippie time?" She teased.
