–Val –I answered, letting him know he could call me by my nickname. I took a step closer and greeted him with a kiss on the cheek.
–I'm a viewer –he said, keeping a hand to my waist, the smile reaching up to his eyes. I giggled. – Joe Sugg.
–I know –I replied trying to repress my stupidity impulse.–, love your videos –I ended up saying.
–This right here is Oli, I'll have him subscribed by tomorrow –he joked.
–Hello –Oli greeted with a quick smile.
–Hey –I greeted back. – So aren't you guys missing a mosqueteer? –I joked lightly, I had seen all three of them sitting in the dining previously, my sight fell on his hair, his shoulders and his back probably too many times during the dinner.
–Oh, right –said Joe, looking around. I took a second to check out his outfit, he was wearing skinnies and a floral low cut top– I don't even know where he's gone to, that's such a shame.
–That's alright –I said, smiling through my own personal let down.
–Well, okay –he shrugged–. So are you here on your own? –he asked, I assumed he was curious since they traveled as a pack and I was a lone wolf for once.
–Just me –I replied, putting my hands in my jean's pockets slightly uncomfortable.
–Well you can totally hang out with us, I really mean it I'm a viewer, I've seen some of your older stuff, pretty good.
–God –I laughed as I felt my cheeks flushing red, it meant he already knew a ton about me that I could not hide.– Thank you so much though, it really means a lot. I'm a fan too.
–Why thank you! –He ran a hand through his hair–. You wanna go grab a drink at the bar with us?
I agreed and hung out around the boys for a while, a short while since Oli quickly left and left the both of us alone to bond. We talked about making a collab, Joe lived about two hours from London and I did too, only on the opposite direction. But we could sort something out, he seemed excited about it and I was thankful. Collabs were a great way to get exposure, it would really help me expand my audience and launch my career. It was still up to me to make good content and bring people around to watch it. Suddenly I remembered me and Emma's conversation the night before.
–I'd so bang Joe Sugg –she had said as she put the tripod away.– He has those skinny little legs and the long torso. –She shrugged as she nodded her head.
–It's all about those –I replied throwing my jacket over my shoulders. –But my one and true bae is Caspar –I laughed at how silly that sounded when I said it out loud. – For what I know he likes blondes though, I would not rock blonde hair.
–But if given the chance, would you?
–Sure, I guess. Nothing to lose, right?
We both laughed, I knew my best friend would do too.
–I'd hook up with Caspar just so I could annoy you about it forever.
I stared at her as she had betrayed me in the worst possible manner, and she laughed. And somehow or another now I was sitting down drinking a beer with Joe Sugg, who turned to be just as nice as he pictured himself in videos, we were laughing, planning a collab and also planning to meet the next day to go to the party.
When I finished my second bottle I decided it was about time to go to sleep. My meet up was early the next day, I had to be at the venue at 10, luckily they'd get me at the hotel.
–I'll see you tomorrow, then –I said as I got closer to hug him goodbye.
–Yeah, and don't be nervous, it'll go great! –He assured once again. – See ya tomorrow.
I walked away trying not to turn back to look again. He wasn't that much taller than me, his figure was thin and he was confident, he smelt of beer and after shave. I got back to my room, removed my makeup and changed into shorts and a shirt. I felt so anxious about what was coming the next day, I still thought no one would show up and I would be majorly humiliated for life, but I had been checking my social media for a while laying in bed and it seemed as quite few people were ready to go see me. I thought I should close the vlog, so I turned the video on my phone and started talking.
–As you see it's bedtime already, I'm sorry I didn't vlog a lot today, I hope I will tomorrow though. I met a ton of cool people today and I'm hoping I'll be able to work with some of them in the future so I'm very excited about that, but the thing I'm most excited about is meeting you guys! I honestly cannot wait until tomorrow morning to give you the biggest hugs and see all of your beautiful face! So I'll see you in a bit when I've had my beauty sleep, alright guys, mwah! –I stopped the recording and left my phone by my side of the pillow.
It was a good thing I was tired because I really couldn't wait.
