lie to me [tatemcrae x dixie d'amelio]

twelve

dixie's pov

"were back!" i shout as we enter tate's house. charlie comes running through and hugs us both tight. guessing she missed us.

tucker and his parents come in, saying hi to us all and shortly after griffin appears. he pecks my lips and smiles.

"ok i need to go and record a cover for 4music so i'll be back in a bit" tate says heading up to her room. i follow her up as everyone else is distracted by something else.

"can i watch" i ask, knocking on her open door. she looks at me and hesitates for a moment.

"sure" she says as i come in and shut the door behind me. i sit on her bed watching as she sets up her mic and everything.

she pulls her sweatshirt off having white crop top underneath, i watch as she sorts her hair in the mirror and takes a deep breath before sitting down on her chair.

"ok make sure you don't make any noise" she tells me and i nod with a smile.

the piano starts after she presses record. i love you by billie eilish.

tate starts singing instantly making butterflies explode around my stomach. she is so talented i cant even explain. but she doesn't see it. her dance, music, everything. i have never met anyone so amazing and i wish she realised that.

i see her backing off around me sometimes and it scares the fuck out of me. i told her how i feel and i don't want her to just leave and push me away, which is something i know she does.

"maybe wont you take it back
say you were tryna make me laugh
but nothing has to change today
you didn't mean to say i love you
i love you
and i dont want too" she sings, making my heart break.

once she finishes the song she switches off the camera and plugs the memory card in her computer. she sends the video off to someone and is finally done.

"i wanna go to dance but my mom wont let me for 2 days" she says, leaning back in her chair and groaning.

"i mean i guess she has a valid reason for not letting you" i say. she turns to me and frowns.

"your meant to be on my side" she says, acting sad.

i stand up and walk up to her smiling like crazy, leaning down and pecking her on the lips. she kisses back instantly, using her hands to pull my face closer. i peck both of her cheeks and her forehead before lastly kissing her lips again.

"do you wanna meet lucy finally" tate asks, raising her eyebrows. her eyes flickering up and down from my lips.

"i mean sure, will she freak out i dunno if i can handle that" i ask, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"oh definitely not, she will act so cool and pretend she isn't freaking out" she explains with a little laugh. i nod and kiss her forehead.

"get her over" i say and she smiles going on her phone.

tate's pov

i know i moan a lot about how i am overworked but i realised that i hate hate hate not having anything to do. i like being busy which is the weird part.

my mom stopped me from doing dance because i was starving myself and now i am so bored. i forgot how much of my day it takes up.

so thats why i am getting lucy round to practice in my house and charlie will probably want to join us being a dancer too.

"hiii!" lucy exclaims as she enters my house and hugs me tight. she stops dixie and charlie behind me and i instantly notice her mood change.

"im lucy, its nice to meet you both" she says giving them

i grab lucys hand and pull her into the studio, the other two girls following. i have already changed into some shorts and a sports bra.

"charlie wanna join us?" i ask and she nods excitedly. dixie gives me a pretend sad look because she doesn't dance. i walk over to her and crouch down where she is sat.

she holds my hands, intertwining our fingers together. "T have you seen the new dance michelle made to your song" lucy shouts over.

"nope, let me see" i shout taking a seat next to dixie, who rests one of her hands on my leg and rests her chin on my shoulder. charlie and lucy come over and she starts playing the video,my song 'dont be sad' in the background.

"that is so cool, we have to learn that" i say, feeling dixie placing little kisses on my neck.

both the girls send questioning looks towards us but i shake it off and stand up pulling the song up on my phone. i stretch all my muscles out but mostly my legs, going into a standing splits.

lucy comes over helping me stretch and i do the same for her.

"ok lets do this" charlie says.

2 hours later

i am absolutely exhausted, we just finished dancing non stop with no breaks. and ouch i hurt, my body has been moved and stretched to the max.

i lie down on the floor looking up at the ceiling and panting heavily. the two other girls are sat leaning against a wall. dixie on the other-hand is across the room being bugged by griffin.

"griff, come here" my brother says popping his head in the studio, trying to hide his laughing. what the fuck are they up to.

dix looks at me with confusion and concern, but i shrug it off being too tired and hungry to care.

"ladies, dinner is ready" my mom shouts.

"i dont want to move" i announce.

dixie comes over lifting me up and then motioning for me to jump on her back. she carries me into the kitchen ignoring the whispering from charlie and lucy behind us.
