You pulled the door shut and turned to the silent penthouse, "now what?" you thought to yourself - knowing you'd at least need to wait until Y/BF name returned before going anywhere.
You found a mirror and laughed at how tragic your hair and make up looked after the nights antics. You took off your shoes, pulled your hair up out of your face and tied the top of your dress back together as well as you could, praying that Y/BF name wouldn't be too mad it was broken and paced quietly through the beautiful hotel room. 

You headed to the balcony the boys had shown you earlier and went outside, thankful for the fresh air. You realised it must be nearing 6am as you could see the sunlight starting to chase the night sky away, and you just stood and watched as the lights on the strip started to turn off all around you one by one, while in your mind you were trying to comprehend the last two days.
"Hey" Simon said behind you
"Oh hey, sorry, did I wake you?" you apologised
"No, I've just been editing, haven't slept, heard some noises so came to check it out - didn't expect to find you though" he said, staring out into the strip before you
"Oh, yeah, long story...edting, cool" you didn't know what else to say, you still felt awkward from earlier and you weren't great in awkward situations.
"Have a good night?" he asked, breaking the silence
"Yeah, it was a lot of fun, only this put a slight dampener on it" you said pointing to your awkwardly tied dress
"What happened?" Simon asked, touching the shabby tie job you'd done to the strap, making your skin tingle
"Cal" you laughed
"What?!" Simon said sharply "Cal did that?"
You could tell by his tone he took it badly, "no no, not like that, he just slipped when I was trying to bring him back and caught it somehow" you shrugged
"You brought him back on your own? You should have called me..." he said, looking me in the eyes "...or any of us" he suddenly added
"I don't actually have any of your numbers and I didn't think it was going to be that difficult if I'm honest" you laughed and he laughed back, both sitting down on the chairs near the door.
After a few seconds in silence just staring out of the disappearing night sky he said "so tell me something about you Y/N" looking into your eyes and rubbing his hands together. And that was it, you forgot your nerves and just started talking - about your life and your home, the he talked about his life and his home, why dogs were better than cats and continually laughing and suddenly the next thing you knew the sun was visible in the sky. But even in this dream like situation you didn't feel right, you didn't feel right being here and sharing your life with him, becoming friends, without coming clean.
"Look Simon, I should tell you something, I don't want to pretend that I don't know who you are. I know who you are, actually, I know who you all are - I knew before I met you. I'm a big fan of your videos and I didn't know how to tell you all that when we first met because I didn't want you to freak out"
"Oh..." he went quiet and you were sure that this was the end of this conversation and rollercoaster of Vegas with the Sidemen.
"...it doesn't make a difference to me, maybe to the other lads you should keep it on the down-low for the moment" he said seconds later "and it was probably best you kept it to yourself, otherwise we probably wouldn't have hung out" he said, the half smile creeping back across his face
"Well, I'm glad I've come clean to you anyway" you smiled, but shivered in the cold desert morning air.
"Hold up, you must be frozen" he said "here take my hoodie and let me get you some sweats or socks or something" he said as he stood up
"Thank you, that's very sweet, I just didn't realise how long we'd been talking I guess"
He handed it to you; the black hoodie with the white SDMN logo you knew all too well, you'd been dying to have one and a set of the matching sweats since they first showed them off a few months ago. You put it on, feeling the body warmth already inside and the instant butterflies started again in your stomach. You looked in the reflection of the door and realised your shortness compared to Simon, the hoodie hung down past your knees and you giggled.
"Well don't I look beautiful" you joked sarcastically as you zipped it up
"Yes" Simon said abruptly, looking up into his eyes you realised he was being serious. You were taken aback and stood there with a blank look on your face.
"I...ummm" you stuttered
"I wanted to tell you that when you got here tonight, that you looked stunning, but I find it hard to do that stuff sometimes and you and Freezy..." he paused, and then continued "I should have asked for your number first, I wanted too, but I pussied out because I felt awkward and I regret it"
"Cal and I just kissed, and I wasn't expecting it, I didn't intend for it to happen that way"
"He did it because he wanted me to know that he has claims to you" he said, looking down at the ground
"I'm not a prize, and I think I can choose who I kiss for myself y'know, been doing it long enough" you joked
He laughed and looked straight back at you, into your eyes and you could instantly feel your heart was racing. You were being flooded with thoughts and feelings of what was right and wrong, and you didn't know what to do, but when Simon took a step towards you, you couldn't help but kiss him and he couldn't help but kiss you back....
