Alex rolled off of Bella and slumped down beside her. Their clothes were casually abandoned on the carpet, and their naked bodies were wrapped up in the sheets. They both tried to catch their breath, as Alex beckoned Bella closer to him. The distance between them was closed as Bella snuggled up close to Alex, taking in his scent as they wiped the sweat off of each other's foreheads. Bella kissed Alex's chest as he stroked her hair. They both laid there, amazed by what had just happened.

"What time is it?" Bella asked as she yawned.

"Errm, it's quarter past one. In the morning. Shit. I need some sleep." Alex answered as he checked his phone, putting it down when he found the time.

"I wonder why!"

"You were not complaining, Miss Stitham."

"Who would?" Bella winked, looking up at this perfect rockstar, who seemed to be cradling her with one arm.

"Bella, answer me something."

"What?"

"What is actually going to happen with us?"

Bella shifted herself up so that she was face-to-face with Alex. "What do you mean?"

"I don't just wanna keep just sleeping with you, I don't want us to just go on dates and have sex here and there. Bella.."

"Alex, you're in a band."

"We could work something out. I'm just trying to say.. I think I'm falling for you. And I want to be with you when it happens, not miles away, wondering how you are doing. I just.. want you. And not just for the sex."

"Alex.."

"I know, stupid. I just shouldn't have said anything." Alex went to turn over, but Bella grabbed him and gently pulled him back to face her.

"Alex, look. I think I'm falling for you too. In fact I know I am, because I haven't felt happy in a long, long time. And yet now I do whenever you're with me. But it's like I said. You're in a band. How would it work?"

"Surely we can sort that out when it comes to it?"

"But.. just.."

"If you're worried that I'm gonna hurt you, then don't -"

"No. Just, you know I can't not.. well."

"I'm not saying to stop. Just to try not do it."

"Alex?"

"Yes?"

"I want to be with you."

"Good because the feeling is mutual."

"So what happens now?"

"We sleep, my beautiful.. girlfriend."

"Wow, that feels weird hearing that."

"Trust me, it feels weird saying it. Come on, let's get some sleep."

"One more thing. Where are the boys?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard from them in a while, they're probably just enjoying life. It's Zack I haven't heard a lot of."

Bella pulled a face and turned over. Alex snuggled up close behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. He kissed her shoulder-blade as she warmed to the kiss, although her body shuddered as she felt his lips.

Jack and Rian stumbled in through the entrance to the hotel, laughing to themselves as they clambered up the stairs, talking and whispering to inanimate objects, to the occasional person. Well, it was six in the morning. They staggered up the stairs, blatantly drunk.

Struggling to find their room card, they headed for Alex's hotel room. Jack fiddled with the lock as Rian laughed behind him. Soon the door was open and they sneaked in, but as they went to run to Alex's bed where he was sleeping, they noticed the clothes all over the floor. They looked to the bed and noticed a mess of hair. A girl seemed to be snuggled into Alex's chest

They sniggered before exchanging a glance. They were drunk and out to cause trouble. Both Jack and Rian ran towards the bed and jumped on it, laying across both Alex and the mystery girl. They laughed hard as Alex and the girl woke up, blatantly annoyed.

Jack looked at the girl.

"ALEX. I KNOW I AM DRUNK.. BUT.. I swear that's the girl from the 'Meet and Greet'.. remember, you couldn't stop talking about her. She was quite cute. You've found her doppleganger!"

Alex switched the bedside light on as he rubbed his eyes. Jack and Rian focused on the girl who was naked in bed with Alex.

"Jack.. that IS the girl.." Rian gasped.

Jack started to sober. "Alex, do you care to explain?"
