better than this

Blair

When the movie finishes we all decide to have food together. I get Poppy and the other girls to walk with me so I can suss out what's going on. Vicki walks with Hayes, Ollie and Beau ahead of us while Hunter and Jack walk slightly behind. "So...do you like Hunter's friends?" Tessa asks, jumping straight in. Poppy smiles politely and nods. "But they're not really my type. Jack however..." She raises her eyebrows and we all look to her with confused faces. "Really?" Zoe says and she nods. "Yeh. I don't know but he was sat next to me and we pretty much talked through the whole thing." She says and we all nod our heads. "Alright I'm just going to say it." Zoe blurts out and we look at her. "I fancy Hayes..." She flinches as if she's scared for our reactions. We all laugh, "You do?" Poppy asks, grinning and she matches her grin. "I'm sorry." Zoe responds and we all shake our heads, laughing.

I suddenly feel someone's hands on my waist and whip around to see who it is, forgetting for a second that I have a boyfriend. Hunter smiles at me, confused by my startled expression. I relax and laugh. "Someone's jumpy..." He says and I laugh and roll my eyes. "So I was wondering if you could send me that video you took this morning?" Hunter asks with a smile and the three girls who continued walking when we stopped all come to a halt in sync and slowly turn around. "What?!" Tessa practically screams and the other two girls look at me with startled expressions. I don't know why they are so confused. Hunter seems to catch on to whatever it was and he starts laughing. I'm still confused and stare at him. "I don't get it..." I say and Zoe laughs and shakes her head. "You are so innocent, Blair." She says and I still don't understand what it is. "It was a video of him playing guitar..." I say as I try to figure out what's got them so confused and they all breathe a sigh of relief. "Ohh. We all thought you made some sex tape or something." Tessa says bluntly. Oh. Right. I laugh nervously and feel my face go red. How did I not catch that? That's awkward. Hunter is watching me and so are the girls and I just want the ground to swallow me up. "Oh no the boys are far ahead lets go." I say, my voice monotone as I let go of Hunter and start speed walking ahead.

Hunter drives Vicki, Hayes, Beau and I home after eating. I spoke to Vicki for almost the whole of lunch and she is actually surprisingly nice. I could tell that she was wary about speaking to me after the fight but I don't really care. I apologised for the whole thing and we're okay now. I know Hunter and I trust him. When we get back to Hunter's they decide to find a party. I don't know who they know that hooks them up with them but they find one. They claimed they needed to "live the true seaside town experience" which was what Hayes said. "And hook up with some of the local guys..." Vicki adds and I laugh and usher them out of the house. Hunter didn't want to go so it was just me and him. "And then there were two."

I take off my jacket and hang it up so I have something to do besides standing there awkwardly. We walk over to his couch and sit down. "So did you send that video?" He asks me and I nod, I did it while we were eating. "Why do you want it so badly anyway?" I ask him and he shrugs. "I've posted covers on my Instagram and stuff and thought that would be a good addition." He says coolly as though it's nothing. "Wait what? What's your name?" I ask immediately, surprised I don't know this already, another way in which we're moving too fast.

He tells me his name and I start following him, making a mental note to listen to every single one later so I don't embarrass him now. I furrow my eyebrows as I stare incredulously at his account. "What is it?" He asks from my side as he looks over my shoulder at my phone screen. "Hunter. You have 100k." I tell him, he's much more well known than I would have thought. I look at him and he's smiling sheepishly over at me, a pink flush in his cheeks. "Yeah..." he says doubtfully and I stare at him. "Are you like a rising star or something?" I ask with a laugh and he smiles. "I don't think so." He says and I start looking at his posts. Woah. Hunter side profile, Hunter in a leather jacket on a street in London. When I get to the shirtless picture I pretty much fall off the bed. I swallow and scroll to the next one, his cover of a song that I haven't heard before but sounds amazing. I save it to my folder of singing videos and hear him coughing. "What? It's really good." I say and he grins and I switch off my phone. I will definitely be stalking the page later though.

"Sorry. You were saying something about how you posted covers before I interrupted you?" I say and he smiles and rolls his eyes. "Well. I was gonna post that video, or at least part of it. It's a different side of me that my followers could see." He says and I raise an eyebrow. "That you're extremely hot when shirtless? Or that you're romantic and learn songs for your girlfriend?" I say jokingly and he wraps his arms tightly around my waist and lies down so I'm on top of him. "I'm romantic?" He says while grinning and I roll my eyes. "Duh..." I say and he grins. "And extremely hot?" His grin doesn't falter as our noses touch. I return his smile, "Duh." I say and he laughs and leans in to kiss me. "Well so are you." He says before kissing me again and I roll my eyes. He pulls back, "Blair. You're fucking stunning stop thinking you're not." He says and I smile lightly before leaning in and kissing him again. "Thank you." I whisper to him and he smiles.
