better than this

Blair

When I leave Hunter's I go home and watch an episode of something before going on my phone. It's still on Hunter's account from earlier but it automatically refreshes the page and I see that he has posted something else since I last looked. I click on it and see that it's the picture we took together, the one of us kissing, it's kind of darkened because the shade was on us so you can't see my face all that well. I read the caption:

@huntercollins Because I knew you'll be stalking my page I figured that I might as well, love you nerves ;)

I blush and laugh to myself, it was posted an hour ago so he must have done it just about when I left. I sift through the hundreds of comments, still shocked that he has such a large following, I don't find one hateful one. That's good, everyone just wants to know who I am. I debate commenting and blowing my cover but I don't know if Hunter would want me to. So I phone him.

"Ahh so soon? Couldn't even last two hours." He says and I can hear him smirking through the phone. I instinctively roll my eyes, smiling too. "And you couldn't even wait two minutes before you posted a picture of us kissing." I remark and I hear him chuckle softly over the phone, I blush at the sound of his sweet laugh in my ear. "Actually I almost waited five." He says and I laugh. "So am I a secret or can I comment?" I ask him and he lets out a sigh. "It's up to you, someone will probably figure it out eventually. Just don't say anything rude." He warns me and I gasp, jokingly. "Me? Rude? What makes you say that?" I joke and he laughs and the line is quiet for a while. "I miss you." He whispers and I smile. It feels like he's whispering into my ear and I feel the hairs on my arm stand up. "I miss you too. But we need to stop being such teenagers missing each other so fast. It's barely been two hours." I joke and he laughs quietly. "What are you doing?" He asks me and I take in my surroundings. I'm sat on my bed doing nothing. I was going to stalk his Instagram but I didn't even get past the first picture. I smile to myself when I realise that my life pretty much revolves around him. Well shit.

"Nothing really." I say and he sighs. "You're in that empty house all alone doing nothing?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Yes..." I say warily and I hear shuffling on the other side of the phone. "Okay. You've given me no choice. I'm staying over again." He informs me, I furrow my eyebrows and shake my head at him even though he can't see me. "You have guests." I say firmly as he continues moving round on the phone. "Do you think I'll need pyjamas? Yeh I'll bring them, even if I won't use them..." I almost certainly know he would have winked if I had been there. I laugh and shake my head at his stubbornness. "Anyway, I don't have guests they had to leave the party and Weymouth on short notice, Hayes got pulled back for some producer-y thing for the guys." He says and I furrow my eyebrows. "The guys. Meaning...?" I question and he sighs, "Right sorry. Brad, Tristan, Connor and James. They're in a band called The Vamps, heard of them?" He asks me, speaking as though that isn't a big deal. My jaw drops and I stare at the ceiling. "The Vamps? As in The Vamps?" I ask just to be sure and he
laughs quietly, "Yes...?" He says, sounding slightly sceptical. "What? Firstly, Hayes is a producer? Since when?" I ask and he lets out a sigh as he thinks. "I don't know I've known him...3? Or so years and he's been a producer the whole time." He says and I nod my head while I process this. "So he's quite successful then? Because well, The Vamps." I ask him. "I guess." He replies and I shake my head, he never told me one of his best friends was a music producer and a pretty good one if he's producing something for The Vamps. "Oh so is that how you have so many followers?" I ask him, "Umm..." He says, his voice sounding slightly hurt through the phone. My shoulders slump when I suddenly realise how that sounds just as he replies, leaving me feeling extremely guilty. Well done Blair, you bitch. "No...we met through the music business." He states and I hit my forehead with the palm of my hand. "I'm sorry I never meant that you couldn't make something out of yourself on your own or anything like that I was just wondering because you kind of just announced it and I got excited so I just blurted it out so I guess I assumed or something and--"

"Jeez nervy." He says with a laugh as he interrupts me. "It's fine I don't mind you're just figuring out my other life." He says, sounding fine again. I continue to hear shuffling noises coming from his side of the phone and laugh. "How much are you packing?" I say with a laugh and hear a crash and several thuds, he curses loudly in frustration and I laugh again. "Stop laughing at me. I fell down the stairs." He says and then starts laughing along with me. "Right so I have clothes for tomorrow, a toothbrush and pjs. That should be enough right?" He says and I smile at how prepared he is. It's kind of cute. "Yes. I'm sure that's fine." He sighs over the phone. "Right. Now I need to find the energy to get up from these stairs..."

"Blair...please?" I stick my bottom lip out as I beg her to sleep in the same bed as her. She rolls her eyes and shakes her head, her eyes dancing. I lean in on the couch and kiss her there and then, I couldn't resist it. "What was that for?" She asks, smiling and I shake my head. "Why does there always have to be a reason? I just wanted to kiss you." I say simply as I lean in again and she smiles and kisses me. "Don't think that because I'm kissing you I will change my mind." She says and I sigh and pull away dramatically. "Fine." I say and cross my arms childishly. She laughs and uncrosses my arms gently with her small hands, sticking out her bottom lip and pouting. "Don't be moody, please?" She begs and smiles cutely. I can't help grinning at how adorable that was.

"Okay. But I'm not done fighting about this." I say and she rolls her eyes, intertwining our fingers in my lap. I smile, she's slowly growing more confident. "I get the feeling you're not used to rejection." She says with a small smile and I shrug. "That's not true. I've been rejected before...I think." I say and she laughs and leans her head on my shoulder. "I love you." I say quietly, absorbing the warmth radiating from her face. She smiles and looks up at me through her eyelashes, she's so gorgeous. "I love you too." She says and looks up and smiles innocently, the doubts from earlier seemingly gone. I lean down and rest my forehead against hers, our noses brushing. Eventually I close the distance and connect our lips, feeling that familiar buzzing feeling take over my body.

I somehow convinced Hunter to not sleep in my bed but he chose to sleep on the couch instead of my parents bed so I go through and get sheets and a spare duvet that we keep in our cupboard. He stands by the tv and watches me as I put the sheet on the couch and lay the covers down. "Why couldn't you have just chosen my parents bed?" I say when I'm finally done and sit on the couch bed thing, slightly out of breath. He comes closer with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. He comes and kneels between my legs, moving his face close to mine. "Well what do you think sounds better? Let's have sex on the couch or let's have sex on the bed that your parents sleep together on?" He says and I pretend to think about it, smiling and then look into his eyes. "I think maybe the couch sounds better." I say with a smile as he moves in closer, my heart beat quickens as I feel his breath on my face, he grins a toothy grin. "Hm yeh that's what I thought." He says and leans in to kiss me.
