Xander and I were the only two left in the live zine when Carter and Noah stepped into the flashes on the red carpet. Xander took me around the waist and started kissing me feverishly. Xander! Xander! I said against his lip. My lipstick! Really? Bella. Yes.

SPEAKER_00: 0:20

Be really careful when you're narrating to finish the end of your sentences before you jump to the next I said he said against my lip. My lipstick! What the fuck? You swallowed the whole word lips.

SPEAKER_01: 0:35

Like zoned side dramatic fucking Nicky.

SPEAKER_00: 0:40

What did that really have to do? You didn't say dramatically. You said dramat and just f went to fucking Nicky. Why do you why? You like jump ahead. Your brain just like switches off the the word at the end of the sentence.

SPEAKER_01: 0:56

I do that in writing sometimes and I miss words out completely.

SPEAKER_00: 1:01

I'm gonna have to call you out every time.

SPEAKER_01: 1:03

I need otherwise it's gonna fuck it up. My brain the dyslex it's the dyslexia, it's it's trying to make sure I've got the next bit so I know it before I So I don't want to annoy you, but I'm gonna have to do it every time.

SPEAKER_00: 1:19

Because otherwise it's not gonna record well. Annoy Annoy the shit out of me. Say the words.

SPEAKER_01: 1:25

She shouldn't have fucked Carter then. Shh, I insisted. I wasn't supposed to tell you, Zander. Can you not shout it?

SPEAKER_00: 1:33

So maybe you should say it a lot louder than she shouldn't have fucked Carter then. No? Okay.

SPEAKER_01: 1:40

Well, no, I think I'm being overdramatic. I'm like, it should be said enough.

SPEAKER_00: 1:44

It should definitely, but he didn't he his it was pretty quiet. He needs to go louder. He needs to be more upset. Because he went fucking Nikki. And then if he suddenly goes, She shouldn't have fucked Carter then, then she he seems too calm, right? In the same vein of like, do we have to fucking save her neck constantly? Yeah. She shouldn't have fucked Carter then. That kind of vibe.

SPEAKER_01: 2:06

I turned gently to point out my Kellis. Nope. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 2:09

Yep, take that line again. Sorry. I'm being very harsh with my directions of you today. But you were like, you gently said. But you're really you were swallowing more than bullets. You made mistakes too. I know. I know. And you also directed me when I did. I did, but I was gentle and funny about it. I'm sorry. I can be gentle and funny. Less school mom. So sorry. So you swallowed two point.

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 2:40

Could you please take it again?

SPEAKER_01: 2:41

Don't stress. She's just dancing around white.

SPEAKER_00: 2:45

She's just dancing around white. Why is she doing this?

SPEAKER_01: 2:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 2:57

That tickle would be way too much.

SPEAKER_01: 3:00

SPEAKER_00: 3:02

But I think it was also your face, you were so confused, you were like. What? She's just dancing around. Why? What? Why? Right.

SPEAKER_00: 3:38

Inarticulately.

SPEAKER_01: 3:41

Inarticulately. I was right. I guess that makes me a Welsh sheep.

SPEAKER_00: 3:51

Welsh uh sheep.

SPEAKER_01: 3:55

No, no, I've also just lost the accent completely.

SPEAKER_00: 3:57

You were doing so well up before. It was I was impressed.

SPEAKER_01: 4:02

Let me hear it again. Okay. Let me let it be. Let me pause then.

SPEAKER_00: 4:05

Can I just quickly say before you continue this bizarre conversation? Um I love how you just told Mike Ellis the truth about what we are doing on tour with a band. And not I am doing promotion and you are dancing. No, I just said we're friends. Well no, you said Mike invited Mike Solomon invited Nikki on tour.

SPEAKER_01: 4:31

Oops. Yes, I didn't I didn't specify in what capacity.

SPEAKER_00: 4:36

No, you didn't. Okay. Alright. I'm just I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_01: 4:41

And the fact that he's just seen you Jay the way that you are.

SPEAKER_00: 4:45

Right. Fair. Yeah, he he yeah. It's different. Plus, he's not press, is he?

SPEAKER_01: 4:51

Like Jay, what the hell are you doing? Mike and I d oh.

SPEAKER_00: 4:57

Oh, that's gonna be Orkies. How are you gonna do that? I'm not quite sure that's gonna be possible. Just say my cost.

SPEAKER_01: 5:06

I don't wanna go. Sounders sustained. Sustained?

SPEAKER_00: 5:13

Yeah, like continued. Pressed on.

SPEAKER_01: 5:18

Okay. Yeah, I suppose. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 5:21

Wow. Your distrust in my writing sometimes is pain.

SPEAKER_01: 5:26

No, d no, no, just sometimes the word I'm like. Do we usually use that in that context?

SPEAKER_00: 5:32

No, but this is trying to be cool literature.

SPEAKER_01: 5:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 5:37

Do you want me to double check it?

SPEAKER_01: 5:38

We never get to drink our shots. Jason replied nonchalantly.

SPEAKER_00: 5:44

Hang on one second. Can we go back a little bit? Yeah. And can you make Jason actually sound nonchalant when he says we never got to drink our shots? Rather than like, we never allowed to drink our shots! He said nonchalantly. Nonchalantly. I know. Otherwise, we have to change it. Jason replied festively or very excitedly. You have been making an effort. He said kindly.

unknown: 6:13

I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_00: 6:14

I did try to warn you. My status seemed to have been upgraded as the whole band kissed me on the cheek. Even Andrew kissed me on the cheek, but escaped as quickly as he could. He was like, here's a kiss, I'm fucking off.

SPEAKER_01: 6:27

Yes.

SPEAKER_00: 6:28

Before you poison me with whatever you've got going on. Yes. I think he'd had his fill for the night. Before the others started up the stairs, Jason took my hand and lugged me after him. Jay, heeled boots, healed boots, I called after him as I struggled to keep up.

SPEAKER_01: 6:48

Oh short legs and heeled boots.

SPEAKER_00: 6:51

And also clumsy as shit and just all no. No on all levels.

SPEAKER_01: 6:55

Can't walk over a flat surface in bare feet.

SPEAKER_00: 6:58

In bare feet. So what are you drinking from me then? He laughed. Nothing. That was just pretense to get you here. That sounds so dodge when you don't know what the fuck's happening. It really does. My heart bounced around wildly. I swallowed, suddenly nervous. So what do you want that you went to all this trouble? Have you spoken to Mike yet? He asked raising his head. Where are you gonna be one thing?

SPEAKER_01: 7:30

Where are you supposed to do this? At the awards, surrounded by everyone?

SPEAKER_00: 7:34

I suppose. I mean you got to speak to Mike at the awards, surrounded by everyone.

SPEAKER_01: 7:38

Yeah, but I'm not confessing to fucking about all the time.

SPEAKER_00: 7:42

Oh. Solid point. I suppose I also had long before the awards. I sp I had Mike for a while, too much.

SPEAKER_01: 7:51

I know, but he warned you, he warned you on the red carpet. Oh, yeah. You agreed.

SPEAKER_00: 7:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 7:57

And now he spent the whole time tricking you about drinking into a belly button. To tell you again.

SPEAKER_00: 8:04

Yeah. I don't understand what happens in Jason's brain most of the time.

unknown: 8:08

No.

SPEAKER_00: 8:09

I honestly don't. Anyway. Is this so you can have sex with me? I asked courageously. Definitely not. He laughed. It's already complicated enough. Well, fuck me. Or don't, I guess. Don't. Shit. Maybe Mike was right. I was way too into Jason.
