"Wake up" // JJ

16) gossip

"I've missed this" JJ whispered softly. Him and Althea were currently wrapped up in each others arms as they lay in her bed.

"Me too. I've missed you" She admitted, burring her head into his neck as she spoke. "Oh shit I forgot, the girls wanted me to ring them" she remembered with a groan. "I know I'll never hear the end of it if I don't tell them what happened between us".

JJ couldn't help but chuckle. "You girls are always gossiping, imagine if me and Simon were like that" he laughed. "Oh my gosh, did you see what Josh was wearing last night? That's like so last year" He joker, doing a frantic impression of what he thought girls sounded like.

"You're such an ass" Althea laughed, playfully hitting him with a pillow to shut him up. "I'll just tell them you came over, we talked and decided it was best to stay friends" she explained as she got her phone from the side.

Her and JJ had decided it was best to keep their relationship a secret just for now. They wanted to savour the private time they had together, before everyone would start talking about their relationships. Althea knew how mad JJ's fans could be, they'd make up any story to fit their desires. Neither of the couple were embarrassed about their relationship, they couldn't wait to screen from the rooftops about how much they liked each other. However, they knew this wasn't the right time.

"Sounds good" JJ agreed as he leaned back on her bed, clutching one of her pillows to his chest as he watched her.

Althea gave a small nod before bringing up Katie's contact number and clicking call. She knew Katie and Freya we're together as they had decided to have a shopping day once they had left Althea's home.

K: Hey! How did everything go? By the way, you're on speaker.
F: Hi!!!
A: Hi! Yeah it went pretty good. We talked for a while and decided that we work best as friends.
F: So what was his shitty excuse for taking so long to text you?
A: Uhhh.. he said he was really busy with the tour like we suspected.
F: Still a shit excuse.
K: Freya stop being so mean.

The girls continued to have a small conversation about the whole JJ situation before saying their goodbyes.

"They sound like they hate me" JJ couldn't help but laugh when the phone call had ended.

"No they don't, they just don't know the full story" Althea told him softly as she laid back down to hug him.
