Tati's POV:

We left the beach and walked to Ruel's house. It was pitch black outside so there were some moments of us tripping over random things. I ended up scraping my knees on the road pretty badly, it hurt so bad and I couldn't really walk. Thankfully Ruel being a the gentleman that he is offered to give my a piggy back the rest of the walk back to his.
He took me up to the porch before I slid off his back. He searched through his things I guess trying to find his keys but he can't seem to find them so he ends up just ringing the doorbell.
"Oh Ruel it's you". We were greeted by a girl, she had blonde hair and was just a bit taller than I was.
"Yeah, I lost my keys, anyways Coco this is Tati" as he said this I step into the light that was coming out of the house so that she could get a look at me.
"Hi" I say nervously
"I'm Coco Ruel's sister, it's nice to meet you!" She grabs my arm and pulls me into a hug.
I giggle "it's nice to meet you too".
We all step inside and then Ruel remembers about my knees. Before he could say anything Coco but's in. "Ohmygod! Tati are you alright?"
"Oh right I'm yeah I think so" I say
"What were you two doing to get her knees roughed up like that, wait I don't even think I want to know" she pretends to gag.
"God Coco, your mind!" Ruel says quickly. "Tati tripped while crossing the road!".
"Oh good, you did leave space for Jesus"
I laugh at what she said.
"Ruel go help her clean up"
"Ok ok, we were just going to until you butted in"
"Oh... yeah, sorry bout that"
Ruel grabs my hand and leads us over to the stairs. I look back and tell Coco how nice it was to meet her again before following Ruel up into the bathroom.
He lifted me up onto the bench and got a towel and wet it.
"Hey don't worry I can do it" I tell him winching at the pain.
"Oh sorry does it hurt?"
"Yeah a bit but it's alright". I guess he was just going to completely ignore what I just said.
Coco came up the stairs with some anti-bacteria stuff. That shit hurt like a bitch!
Thank god my knees were just badly grazed, not too deep. I would have hated walking around with huge plasters on my knees.

We cleaned up my knees then went back downstairs to find that Coco was just about finished cooking.
"Hey uh Coco is it alright if Tati says for dinner?" He asks her.
"Yeah of course, I think I made too much for just us two anyways".
We sit down at the breakfast bar while Coco was serving up some pasta.
"Tati I hope you like pasta because that's all I know how to cook"
"Seriously, who doesn't like pasta though" I laugh.
Coco gives us the bowls and we start to eat. She stays on the other side of the bar though. Half way through eating we start a light conversation, me and Coco kind of just excluded Ruel and we're having a bit of a girly bonding chat.
"Ooh we should get our nails done together one day" Coco brings up.
Too our surprise Ruel speaks, "oh my god what a good idea girlies, so fun" he says this in a girly mocking tone. Me and Coco just go with it and tease him about doing his makeup and hair, you know the girly things. If he wanted to be part of the conversation he had to face the consequences.

Ruel's POV:

We finished dinner and continued to talk for a bit. I saw Tati was getting a bit tired so I told Coco that I was going to show her my room.
"Just in there" I tell her before quickly running back down stairs.
"Coco I think I'm gonna tell her"
"SHE DOSENT KNOW!" Coco says almost yelling
"No, we only met properly today but she is also the girl from maccas back in Adelaide"
"Go tell her, you two are just meant to be... go on, shoo"
I sprint back up stairs to find Tati looking at my guitars.
"Hey" she says quietly
"Come sit with me" I say. She comes and sits with me on my bed.
"Quite a collection you have there"
"Yeah I guess it is, do you play?"
"Mmm not really, maybe a few chords"
"I'll teach you" I say this with enthusiasm because this is the perfect way to tell her that I'm uh... famous.
I teach her how to play one of my songs. Painkiller to be exact.
"Ugh, my hands are too small for this, now I remember why I didn't continue to learn"
"Oh, I mean that makes sense your hands are tiny"
"RUEL!" She playfully punches me in the arm.
"Oof you pack a punch"
"Thanks, I know" she flicks her hair behind her shoulder.
"Can you play that song for me so I know how it is supposed to sound?"
"Of course"
So that's what I did, I played and sung painkiller for her. I don't think over ever done this in front of a girl that I liked before.
"WHAT THE FUCK RUEL YOUR AMAZING!" She squeals then pulls me into a tight ass hug.
"Yeah the fans think that too"
"Wait what?"
"Uhh yeah so um I'm kinda famous"
"Wait... WHAT?" She says again but more dramatically this time.
"Your telling me that your famous, and I'm guessing that that is your song"
"Yeah I guess I am" I say not knowing how she feels about this.
She grabs her phone and types vigorously into it. After a bit she looks up at me, then back down at her phone. She turns it off and throws it onto my bed.
All she is doing is nodding her head, damn she has a good poker face.
"Wow Ruelof you really are famous aren't you" she smiles at the end of her sentence.
"Are you mad?" I say with caution
" mad?"
"How could I be mad! The boy I like is famous!"
"Wait it didn't mean to come out like that"
"Hold up one sec Tati, you like me?"
"What I didn't say that, did I?" she looks embarrassed.
All I do in that moment is kiss her. I kiss her for a few reasons actually. I kiss her to tell her that I like her too, and also to shut her up so we can just enjoy this moment.
"Wow" she says as I pull away.
"Erm sorry bout that" now I feel awkward.
She kisses me again to tell me that it's ok.
Wow she really just is perfect isn't she.
