Brothers Best Friend.

29. Girls

"Yeah no worries. Black Sheep Coffee in an hour. I'll be there." I say into the phone as I grab my hoop earings and hang up the phone allowing Spotify to continue playing again. "You coulda had a bad bitch, non committal." I sing along with Lizzo. I'm singing so loud I can't hear Will knocking on my door.  "Why man great till they gotta be great."

"Khloe shut up in there." Will shouts as I turn the music up louder. "I'm trying to film."

"I'm going out in like 40 minutes. Film then." I shout back as I continue to get ready for my coffee date rolling my eyes. After getting home last night and Will admitting he had never asked me to go to the studio with them, he just lied because he wanted me with them instead of, and I quote, 'getting up to no good myself'. I was mad. Who ever said living with your brother would be fun? I continue to sing and dance about while getting ready. I was excited to get out and do my own thing today, I had a lot to do. As soon as I'm satisfied with how I'm looking I grab my phone and bag double checking I have my purse.

"Bye Will." I shout as I come into the hall.

"I swear Khloe with your loud singing and now your shouting how are we ever supposed to film in peace?" Will says opening his bedroom door in exasperation.

"Like I said, you can film in peace now I'm going out for the day." I smile at him as he scowls.

"Have a great time Khlo!" Alex shouts from inside Will's room. I smile that they're happy friends again.

"Bye Al, bye Will, film a great video." I say slamming the front door behind me. In the lift I pull my phone out my pocket again and send a quick good morning text to George before making my way outside.

I walk into the cosy coffee shop on the Wharf and see Zoe already sitting at a table in the corner. I smile and wave as I make my way over to her. She's sitting there with a grin on her face. "Zoe hi!" I say as she stands up and comes in for a hug. I laugh. "How you been?" I put my bag on the seat across from her.

"I'm good how are you! Sit down, I'll go get the drinks my treat!" She says picking her purse up from the table. I scoff but sit down gently laughing, I'll just buy us lunch  later. When Zoe sits back down with the hot cups of coffee. "So tell me what's happened since Vidcon?"

"Where to start? I feel like I've done nothing." I say laughing, "still living the dream you know."

"I'm the same, I don't feel like I'm back to reality yet, especially with this weekend in London for meetings with my publishers it's another trip, not abroad but still away from home. I don't feel like I've had my own bed since before vidcon." She says smiling at me. I just nod along with her.

"I wouldn't change anything though." I say taking a sip of my latte.

We are messing about in the Westfield Shopping centre when conversation turns to YouTube and boys. "So sibling challenge yeah?" I say laughing to Zoe.

"It would be such a good video idea don't you think! I could message Joe to come up this weekend, I'll extend my stay and we could film it sometime next couple days!" She says excitedly dragging me into a Boots.

"How exactly would we do it? Is it a brother vs the Lenny's" I ask. "Or would you do more like ask a question like 'what's Joes favourite colour' and you and Joe have to answer? points if you get the same answer kind of thing?"

"You know what I hadn't thought about it. Probably the second one. Hey you could invite George over and introduce us. Are you still together in your labelless thing?"  I blush slightly.

"If I'm honest I haven't seen him much since we got back, just been texting." At that I remembered I hadn't checked if he'd replied to my good morning text or not. I pull out my phone 8 unread messages. Two from George, one from Alex and the rest from Stephen. I cringe. "How's Alfie?"
