(Jenns pov)

"So Jenn you've been trending all over Twitter, Instagram, Tik tok absolutely everyone is talking about you" she starts

"Ahh Nooo elz you can't go there" I say to her as I pretend to run away but she grabs my arm

"Can you give us any exclusives does JenniferRae Bella have a boyfriend?" She asks

"I might have a boyfriend I might not at the end of the day I'm just living my life and doing what I can to benefit myself and my career and my happiness does come first so anything that I do is to make myself the best version of myself that there is, whether I have someone beside me during that journey I guess we will never know" I tell her making her laugh

"Well media trained this one!" She says laughing and then finishes off and we head into the locker rooms to see everyone over the moon except cal the dragon who looks a bit down so I head over to him

"Hey bud you alright?" I ask him and I take a seat next to him

"Yeah just beating myself up after some of those goals I should've easily got them and the hate I was getting for it was just yeah" he says

"Hey, hey don't worry about any of that you did amazing there's very few people who could've stood in a goal with millions of people watching you. You did a great job cal and provided great content for the boys so don't beat yourself up" I say to him and he smiles slightly but I can tell he's still a bit bothered by the whole situation.

I hug some of the boys and then the sidemen fc team lift their trophy and celebrate

"Now who's ready for afters?" Cal freezy asks making JJ, Simon, Chunkz and Nikos head turn to me

"Guys I'm not that bad!" I claim making them all laugh and then the boys shower and get ready to go out while they are getting ready I just chat to Talia and freya

"Did you get with Niko then?" Freya asks quietly just incase anyone is around

"No I was genuinely so drunk that I could remember my room number so he took me back to his we slept nothing happened" I tell her

"Can't believe you two didn't kiss you were all over eachother" Talia says making me groan and put my head in my hands

"Hot couple though" freya teases

"Yeah Twitter are all over you having a boyfriend" Talia says

"I know why are people so obsessed with my life?" I reply

"You're milking it though" freya adds

"Of course I am!" I tell them

"Talia you guys ready?" We hear simons voice from a different room

"Yeah," Talia replies as we all stand up grabbing our bags and I remove Nikos hoodie that I had not long put back on the second the cameras stopped rolling "your figure is insane!" She hypes me up

"Talia be quiet actually look at yours!" I tell her

"Wait who's hoodie is that's?" Freya asks raising her eyebrow

"Want to take a guess?" I ask making the two girls laugh

"No it's not!" Talia says in disbelief

"It's Nikos!" Freya gasps way too loud for my liking

"Yes shh" I silence them scared people will hear

"He's whipped!" Talia laughs

"Innit" Freya replies as we go and get the boys who are now dressed a bit smarter and I catch up to niko who's already looking at me and I hand him his hoodie

"Thanks bella" he says

"Not a problem" I reply

"Can't wait to see what state you'll be in soon" he says making me gasp jokingly

"Niko I will not be in a state in a couple of hours I handle my alcohol well" I tell him trying to hold in a laugh but the second I see a confused expression form on his face I can't help but laugh.

We jump on the bus and JJ grabs my arm

"You're sitting with me" he says and grabs my waist pulling me onto his lap causing me to squeal

"JJ!" I gasp making him laugh

"I've got you" he says as his grip loosens and lets me stand up so I'm no longer on his lap and move to the seat next to him

"Hope you're happy" I say to him while crossing my arms over my chest as if I'm annoyed at him

"Scaring you is thee best thing ever" he laughs

"You're not funny" I tell him trying to contain a laugh

"So," he starts "you've been all over my socials" he says and I know where this is going

"JJ I don't have a boyfriend" I interrupt

"But who was it you were mingling with?" He asks

"I'm not telling you!" I exclaim putting my hand on his arm

"Why not?" He asks

"You can't keep your mouth shut you're such a grass!" I tell him

"No I'm not!" He argues

"You are so" I tell him and he laughs knowing it's true

"Can I guess?" He asks

"Go for it" I reply

"It's cal freezy isn't it!" He says with so much confidence it makes me laugh

"No, why would it be him?" I ask still laughing

"I don't know he just looks at you funny! He watches your every move man was mesmerised when you were performing earlier" he says

"What and you weren't mesmerised?" I ask pretending to be hurt

"You were sick to be fair" he replies

"Well it's not him and that's all I'm saying" I tell him as the bus comes to a stop and I get up as quickly as possible

"Someone's keen to get a drink!" Cal freezy points out as he wraps his arm around my shoulder

"Me, never," I reply sarcastically and get off the bus arms in the air "pub here I am!" I say out loud

"Let's go!" Niko cheers but for some reason it seems fake his smile isn't as wide as normal, he's not as enthusiastic as normal I'll have to talk to him later. We get into a booth and I'm between Talia and Niko the night goes well we spend the whole time just chatting and vibing, occasionally as we are talking my leg brushes against Nikos or his hand gently passes my leg causing me to twitch wanting his touch more and more.
