thirteen.

"That's enough for today, G."
The cig is snatched from my mouth, leaving me confused.
"Gia, just one more, please."
"No, this is your fourth in an hour!"
She exclaims, giggling. It's quite adorable.
"Fine, only because you call the shots, babe."
I slightly bend over to kiss her forehead, then her lips. The taste of her bubblegum lips mix with the bitter nicotine taste of mine.
"Get a room." Matty groans, passing by with a guitar case, purposely bumping it against my leg.
"Someone's bitter."
He doesn't seem amused by my remark, scoffing as he walks back out to the van.
My fingers immediately run through Gia's hair as she wraps herself around me. The venue is now silent and empty except for the occasional crew member packing up the stage equipment.
"George?"
I look down and into her bright brown eyes that are already looking up at me.
"Gia."
She giggles again, before finally uttering quietly, "I think I'm falling for you."
I nod back, "I know, babe."
There's an awkward pause, and I'm not exactly sure if I said the right thing.
I'm saved as Liz announces that the van is about to leave, with or without us.
"Ready?"
"Ready." She grins, grabbing my hand. My mind swarms with things I want to say to her but they never come out. Gia had that sort of effect on me, which was abnormal for such smooth talkers like Matty and myself.

It's comforting how she clings onto me all the way from the venue to the club Matty drags us to. I'm not sure if we were dating but it's never safe to just assume so. I want her all for myself and I don't want her to have to question if I'm actually serious about her, because I am.
"To our new EP!" Matty cheers, which we all shout in response to as our shot glasses clink together. My eyes trail over the the girl sitting beside me laughing at something's Matty has said. How did I get so lucky?
After I wrap an arm around her and kiss her cheek, I decide tonight is the night I'm going to officially ask her to be my girlfriend. The thought alone makes me smile, and I can't help but feel like a fucking teen all over again with a dumb crush.
"The girls want to go dance, you coming?"
Her voice brings me back to reality as she's standing up, bent over with her hands on my shoulders and I can't help the fact my eyes trail down to the deep cut of her shirt as it hangs off of her.
"Um, yeah, I'll meet you in a second though."
I hope I didn't make that obvious and she seems oblivious until she leans farther, her chest closer to my face along with her mouth to my ear,
"Next time don't make it so obvious."
She giggles as she walks off, biting her lip and I can't help but smirk. This girl drives me crazy. "Alright, spill," Matty shouts over the music that starts playing again, scooting over closer to me on the booth we're sitting at.
It's only me and him now, the other two guys following behind the three, and I explain how much I like Gia.
"Girlfriend? Wow, you really must like like her."
His grin rubs off on me, and I nod.
"How do I even ask though?"
"It's just a simple question not a fucking proposal, you idiot."
I wince as he pinches at my chest, trying to do the same back to him, but he's faster at slapping my hands away.
"Ow, you fucking wanker!"
Matty groans as he rubs his chest carefully. I see the hurt in his face as he rubs the spot gently.
"I'm so sorry baby, please forgive me!"
As I wrap my arms around him, he squirms to try to get away but I'm much stronger than he is.
"G, don't you fucking dare put your mouth on my face."
He's laughing loudly as he tries to turn his head away as far as possible while I bring my lips closer to his cheek.
"Am I interrupting a love fest here?"
Both of us snap our attention to the familiar blue eyed blonde standing in front of us.
"Anna..." I sigh as she sits next to me.
"Wait, Matty, what the hell?"
He holds his hands up in defense as he walks away slowly. I call this girl a different name in bed, sing to another girl right in front of her, remind her there's never going to be anything more between us and yet she still comes crawling back.
"I just want answers. Who's this Gia girl?"

[sorry that this chapter is so short, but I've just started school and I've had a bit of writers block too with this story. I have literally five different chapter thirteens lol, but don't worry I'm determined to cram in some writing everyday!]
