     "I have a guest room."

--

    His eyes sparked and you could tell something clicked in his head. "So?" He taunted. Of course he wanted you to say it out loud. "Well I mean.." You saw him glance up and smile at something. "You can crash here if you want." You muttered. He glanced up again and looked to be trying to read something before nodding and giving a thumbs up to the mystery person, even though you knew it was Ash.

    He turned back to you with pink cheeks and agreed. What did you just get yourself into? It's only one night it'll be fine. You both discussed arrangements and after 30 minutes, and several random yet hilarious interruptions by Ash, the plans were made.

    You would pick him up tomorrow morning and spend the day together, then you'd take him back to yours and help him settle into the guest room. Simple and foolproof.

    You realized you had to update Raquel about all of this and silently made a note to yourself. Well you thought you were silent..but turns it out you were whispering to yourself the whole time. "Raquel?" Eric asked. "Was that the girl screaming next to you at the show?" You laughed and confirmed the 'screaming girl' was DEFINITELY Raquel.

    You talked to him for a while longer. Laughing and joking and just enjoying each others company. It was so nice--

    You were woken up by a faint, yet consistent buzzing sound. Buzz buzz buzz. You looked up and opened your eyes to..Eric? You rubbed them and he looked away from his laptop and over to you. "Finally you're awake." He said smiling shyly. "What time is it?" You asked. "It's 9:21." He answered. "I've been up since 5.. I couldn't really sleep." He paused before explaining. "Nerves.." 

    You sat up fully and ran your fingers through your hair. You tried not to think about how embarrassing it is fall asleep on the phone with a famous musician who you only just met like a week ago. What if I did something stupid in my sleep? Did I snore? Did I make a stupid face? Regardless, it was too late now, and your phone was STILL buzzing. You picked it up and saw Raquel had been spamming you with messages. You picked up your phone to respond to her and Eric mumbled something quickly. "Sorry what'd you say?" "Don't hang up." He repeated. You looked at him and he was looking away trying to pretend to be busy while hiding a smirk and his rose tinted cheeks with his sleeve. "I wont, don't worry." You smiled.

    After updating Raquel, she screamed at you, (via imsg voice messages.) "HOW COULD YOU FORGET TO TELL YOUR BESTIE THIS? I SWEAR, YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T EVEN TELL ME IF HE-" Knowing Raquel and her nature, you paused it around that point to protect your innocent ears from any out of pocket ideas and obscenities she would've probably said.

    By around 10, you were ready to go pick up Eric.. for your date. Is this a date? Or a casual hangout? Whatever it was, it made you feel like your stomach was about to explode with butterflies. You told Eric you were on the way and he said it was fine if you hung up now. You took a few deep breathes and got in your car.

    The address he gave you wasn't too far from your complex. Actually, it was only a short distance away from your favorite cafe. You remembered back in high school, you always came here to study with Raquel, and you'd both leave with full stomachs and no work completed. Maybe that would be a great place to take him today.

    You were so busy reminiscing and thinking about ideas for today, you almost didn't notice you were here, and theres the tour bus..and he's waiting outside..
