Spotlights. Ant & Dec | ✔️

Chapter 15: 1 2 3 Drink

I really don't like this chapter
But I can't seem to improve it ☹️

I guess it's only positive is it has a little character building in there as well.

"Italic" is Stephen on the phone and just Italic is Ant's thoughts.

I didn't like that it was Dec who was constantly getting dragged through the mud and I felt bad so here's a glimpse into Ants head.

"This better be important Stephan you just woke me up?!" Ant whisper-yelled as he closed the door to Decs room where his partner was still sleeping soundly.

"Sorry but it kinda is. You've got to cut the holiday short, they've brought rehearsals forward for Pop Idol. Also because you're hosting BAFTA this year, they want you at the meetings."

"Ugh. How short are we cutting it?"

"First rehearsal is Tuesday."

"THATS TWO DAYS AWAY!!" Ant cursed when he entered the kitchen area to see Decs mother making coffee, "Morning Anne, sorry about this."

"Whose Anne?"

"None of your business, now organise the jet for tomorrow morning, I'll fly down but tell Simon I'm not happy about the short notice... Or the fact he brought the rehearsals forward without consulting me."

"Do you want me to let Kirra know you'll be present at the meetings."

"Is Kirra the women producing BAFTA?"

"Yes that's her."

"Alright I'll be there, give her my work mobile so she can contact me directly."

"Got it. Is there anything else you want me to do?"

"Oh actually there is... Remember that thing I told you to order the other day?"

"The guitar? Yeah what about it?"

"Can you get it delivered sooner than I'd originally asked please? The end of the month if possible."

"I'll see what I can do."

"Great, that's it, thank you Stevie,"

"I'll text you the time of your flight once we have it booked, goodbye Ant!"

"Goodbye Stephen." Ant switched off his phone and shoved it back in the pocket of the same jeans he'd been wearing the night before, taking in a tired gulp of air, the dark haired Geordie, rubbed the bridge of his nose sadly.

"Seems like you're a very busy man."

"Aye, perils of show business, never a spare moment to yourself, it's worth it in the end though."

"Aye and your very good at what you do."

"Thank you, I really appreciate that."

"I'm sorry about last night, I honestly didn't mean to cause offence."

"I know you didn't pet. if you don't mind me saying though, you should be more mindful. Dec's very sensitive to these kinds of things, well, he would be wouldn't he." He gave Anne a pointed stare. "It went a lot better than I'd expected that's for sure. It's just a shame Jacob had to be mentioned."

"I've never seen Declan panic like that before... d-does it happen often? He seemed so frightened, my poor baby."

"I wouldn't say they were common, but I've seen him have panic attacks a few times since I've known him, anxiety and stress are usual triggers but well..."
