"Hey," Lexi greets. "An odd time to call me. What's up?" She asks.
"Sorry. Is it night there? I'm in a really long flight so time is honestly not even real right now." Niall says and she smiles.
"No, it's bright afternoon here. I'm on set-"
"Oh God, should I call you back?"
"No, it's fine." She laughs. "Lunch break."
He smiles leaning his head on his hand. "How are you? I haven't talked to you in a while." He says. "Last time was barely a talk."
She shakes her head. "I'm sorry that I ended the call that way, by the way. Just wasn't use to seeing you face."
He lets out a laugh. "Did I get ugly in the past 8 months?" He jokes.
"Well, a little. I remember you were way more good looking back then." She plays along.
"That didn't hurt at all."
She lets out a quick laugh. "How's tour?"
He lets out a yawn.
"There's so much things to say about that. It'll be so much easier to just talk to you in person." He says.
"Is this just one of your tactic to make me come to your show?"
"Depends. Is it working?"
She chuckles shaking her head. "I'll be there."
He straightens up in his seat. "Really?" He asks hopefully.
"Mhm," She hums. "Only if you let Millie come backstage with me."
He groans teasingly. "Do I have to?"
"Yes! She's your future wife." She exclaims making him laugh.
"Fine! We'll all hang out backstage." He gives in. "And then maybe after that we can just hang out for a bit. Catch up." He carefully suggests. "I mean, Sydney's my last show so I can technically stay as long as I want. I don't have to go back with my team."
She bites her lip humming. "Don't you guys wanna celebrate the end of tour together though?" She asks.
"Lexi," He sighs. "If I get to be with you what more can I celebrate?"
