"so, how've you been?" nina asks, sipping on her cup of tea, looking at me curiously.

"hmmm, pretty good." i smirk, my cheeks turning red.

"what's got you so happy?!" she squeals, causing me to shush her as people in the cafe give us a look.

"well, let's just say me and van kinda got back together a couple nights ago." i smile, causing her jaw to drop.

"you what?! oh my God, tell me everything!" she squeals excitedly, practically bouncing in her seat.

"well, we talked it out, and ended up fucking at his place" i keep it short, keeping my voice low so no one would hear what we're talking about.

"oh shit, so you two are officially back together?"

"for the most part, yes.. we haven't really talked that part out yet but he's giving me another chance. he forgave bondy for the sake of the band, so i guess i got lucky." i sigh, taking a sip of my tea.

"well, keep me updated. i need to know how bondy feels about all this, too. y'know... if ya wanna hook me up with him, i'm super single." she winks and i shake my head, laughing at her.

-

"come to the meeting with the band, please? i need you there." van pleads, pacing back and forth as smoked his third cigarette of the day.

"do you really think i should go? with bondy and the others? they probably blame me for everything." i sigh, looking up from my book that i'm reading on the couch.

"they don't blame you! if anything, they'll be excited to see you, excluding bondy of course." he says and i can tell he's lying.

"fine. but if it's too awkward, i'm taking an uber home." i say, and a big grin stretches across his face.

"thank you thank you!" he yells, coming over to kiss all over my face and i giggle, shoving him away.

"van, stop! that tickles!" i squeal, and he sits himself right next to me, resting his head in my lap.

"you look too good not to." he smirks and i roll my eyes playfully.

"oh, please. i have no makeup on and my hair's a mess." i giggle and he takes my hand, pressing kisses to my knuckles.

"you look fucking incredible no matter what." he says and i blush, shaking my head as i go back to reading my book.

after van has turned to watch the tv, i begin to run my fingers through his hair subtly, causing him to groan in content. before i know it, he's snoring in my lap, causing me to laugh to myself, my heart feeling full knowing i have him back in my arms.

-

after a few hours and many chapters later, i wake van up so we can get ready to meet with the other guys.

"i fell asleep?" van asks, groaning as he sits up, rubbing his eyes.

"yeah, you were snoring up a storm." i tease and he scoffs, sticking his tongue out at me.

"i guess we should get ready." he sighs, getting up as do i

-

"wow, for once you're not late." benji says as we walk into his flat, him shutting the door behind us.

"you're welcome." van scoffs, his arm wrapped around my waist.

"how've you been, charlotte?" benji asks, giving me a side hug seeing as van won't let me go.
