One Week Later

I had just finished my second walk of my career and I was ecstatic. There were some pretty big models here too, I was just honored to be considered the same level as them. As I walked back stage I saw the members of Brockhampton and I ran up and gave them all hugs. Matt, as the kind man he is, had brought me a bouquet of flowers. I gave him another hug before squealing with how excited I was. 

"I'll be right back I have to get changed! Then we can go to your going away party." I said as I ran off to the dressing area where I saw some of my friends I had met from the show. The party was more for me than them, considering those who were dating were going with them. I was going to miss them all, I would probably spend time at the agency and Emma's apartment and that would be it without them. As I changed out of the outfit and into leggings and a tee shirt.

"Cleo you did amazing!" A girl named Sophie had said to me giving me a hug.

"Thank you! You looked so great out there." I said complementing her back as I waved bye to her. I walked out and saw that Ciaran and Matt fighting about something so I detoured over to Ian and Joba. 

"Are we ready?" I said feeling pumped up. Ian nodded returning the same amount go energy while Joba laughed at my eagerness. We started walking out and soon the paparazzi started flashing, not trying to get me but rather the star of the show Bella Hadid. We quickly moved out of the way and made our way to the cars. I went with Ian, Joba, Ciaran, Romil, and Matt. While the others were split between two other cars. 

I hoped in the back and Ciaran followed suit and giving me a kiss. We weren't dating, but we sure did act like a couple. I wondered if when he went on tour what we have would be over and this would just live on as a fling in his mind. Those thoughts were faded as he grabbed my hand and we pulled out of the parking garage. The city was a blur as we arrived at the house. 

The groups partners were already there as were a few other people who were always around bh. I immedeatly rushed over to the Pizza and grabbed a slice and devoured it. I hadn't had pizza in such a long time, it was like heaven. As I moved onto the second slice Ciaran grabbed my arm and lead me outside. His cheeks turned red, and his hand that was holding my arm was starting to become clamy.

He let go of my arm and took a step back before wiping his hands on his pants. "Cleo, I'm going to miss you so much."

"I'm going to miss you too, but I'll be right here when you get back."

He kept moving around and he looked even more nervous by the second. "So these past two weeks, I've spent almost everyday with you and I really really like you. Like more than a friend." He ran his hands through his hair, before speaking again. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm nervous you'll forget about me while I'm gone. I'm just going to skip to what I'm asking you. Cleo Chamberlain, will you do me the honor and becoming my girlfriend?"

"Of course!" I said and I gave him a kiss, this one was slow and soft and meaningful. As he pulled away he realized something.

"Shit, I bought you a bracelet but I left inside. I'll be right back." He ran through the door as I laughed at how cute he was. He came running out with a box and handed it to me. I opened it up and it was a gold bracelet with his name on it. "If you don't like it I can get you something else-"

"I love it." I cut him off and put it on and gave him a hug. "Do we want to go announce the news?" He nodded as I grabbed his hand and we walked inside. Everyone was eating and talking and turned towards us when they saw us enter. "Ciaran and I are now dating." I announced barley containing my excitement. People congratulated us and I knew all the boys had to go to bed early, due to their flight at 5:30 AM. As the last of the people left I headed up stairs I saw Ciaran walking to his bedroom. 

"Can you sleep with me tonight, please?" I asked. He smiled and we headed to the practically empty room since I was moving in with Emma tomorrow. We reached the bed and we slept together peacefully.
