when matty got the text from her manager, her and drew were fresh from showers. matty almost screamed her head off when cristiana texted her. drew's towel on the top of his head fell off when he jumped, startled by his girlfriend.

"what is the matter?" drew exclaimed as he held the towel in his hand. he flipped his head over and wrapped the towel around his head. he twisted the ends of the towel around his hair and flopped it back over his head.

"i'm gonna be in Vogue." matty looked at drew with her hand on her towel around her chest, keeping it up. drew doing the same to the towel around his waist.

"holy shit."

"i know. i go to New York in a month," matty took the towel off her head to brush her hair.

"for how long?"

"only a week. drew, this is what i've been waiting for," matty turned to drew who was walking to the bedroom.

"i know, babe. i'm so proud," drew dropped his towel, leaving him fully naked. matty walked around him, but not before pinching his ass. "dude. stop."

matty giggled. "you could come with me. they're paying for my ticket, it's first-class."

"fancy."

"you could get first-class with me?" matty asked as she slipped on some sweatpants turned shorts.

"or we could both get coach?"

"what?"

"i don't want you to sit alone on a plane," drew reasoned, now fully clothed.

"why not?"

"in case we go down, i wanna be next to you."
