"That, she is." He sighed. Matty didn't like his vibe so he didn't say anything else. The doors opened on the fourth floor and they both stepped out. "She's down there on the right. Nice meeting you, mate" Alex waved.

"You too. Big fan" Matty waved back.

"Likewise" Alex yelled but he was already walking in the opposite direction.

Matty got a lot of weird looks as he wandered through the office. Even with Alex's helpful directions, he got a bit lost. He walked up to a girl, who looked about the same age as Kat and decided to ask.

"Excuse me, where can I find Kat Peterson?" He asked. She turned her head to the side.

"Her booth is just over there, opposite the bathrooms" She pointed out. Matty thanked her and walked in that direction. Then, he saw her. She was sat at a desk on her laptop, deep in thought.

"Boo!" He said as he stood next to her. Kat looked up and her eyes widened.

"Matty!" She burst, leaping up and hugging him tightly. He nuzzled his head into her shoulder and kissed her neck quickly. "What are you doing here?" She asked. He shrugged.

"George and I thought we'd come a bit earlier and ravel with you tomorrow" He kept her close to him, he couldn't help it. She kissed him on the cheek and looked at the flowers. "These are for you obviously" He handed them to her and she took them.

"Hey, Kat. I can put them in some water for your desk if you want" A new voice suggested. They both turned around to see the girl Matty had asked for directions from.

"Oh, thanks Bex. That'd be great" She handed them to her, still squished up against Matty.

"So, when do you get off?" He asked, she looked at her desk and sighed.

"Four thirty- ish. Maybe five if I get given another task" She wrapped both her arms around his neck so he rested his around her torso. He dipped his head and she kissed his cheek and then behind his ear.

"Okay. Do you want me to come and pick you up or meet you at your flat?" He asked, she kissed him on the lips and shrugged.

"I don't mind. I'm just happy you're here" She smiled. He nodded and smiled back.

"Okay, I won't get in the way of you working. I think me and George are going to go over to yours, is Angie there?" He asked. She bit her lip.

"I think so. Are she and George going to talk?" She wondered. Matty shrugged.

"They have to at some point" He sighed. "I have a feeling she's going to break his heart though" Kat nodded.

"She hasn't spoken to me about it but I have that feeling as well" She confessed. Matty nodded sadly. "She's not coming up north with us either now. She's going back to her old job" She explained.

"Shit, so they better make a decision. Both our birds are becoming southerners" He clasped his hand over his mouth as if he had just sworn. She giggled and hit his chest.

"Shut up, Ratty" She looked down at her desk at all the stuff she had to do.

"Hey, I met Alex Turner on the way up." He told her, she nodded as if it were a normal occurrence for her.

"Yeah, he's on this floor a lot now. Writing the new monkeys album I assume" She shrugged. Matty knew he should've dropped it but he couldn't help himself.

"He seems to know you pretty well now" He had no evidence, other than what he had said earlier. Kat squinted her eyes at him.

"He's very friendly with all the songwriters. He works with a lot of them and is one himself. He writes for a lot of artists" She informed him. "But, like all band members, he'll go off on tour one day" She shrugged. Matty laughed.

"Well, he seems like a cool guy" He mumbled. Kat tapped his cheek a few times.

"He has a girlfriend, Matty. Pipe down" She said quietly, aware of everyone else in the room. Matty chuckled and kissed her quickly.

"Matthew Healy. Is this going to be a common occurrence, you visiting my fourth floor?" a voice boomed. It was Robert. Matty turned around and assumed that the man was Kat's boss.

"Absolutely not. I'm on my way out right now." He saluted him cheekily. Robert nodded.

"Sorry, Mr Long." Kat said timidly.

"It's quite alright, Kat. I know how rockstars can be" He said light-heartedly. Kat smiled. Matty turned to her and kissed her goodbye.

"See you at yours" He winked, she smiled. "Sorry for the disturbance" He apologised and made a swift exit.

Kat sat back at her desk and Bex, her desk neighbour and new friend, brought her the roses he had brought. Robert sighed and followed Matty to the lifts. Matty gave him a cheeky smile as they both waited for it but prayed he didn't start a conversation.

"Kat has promised me your lifestyle won't get in the way of her work. I trust that's something you agree with" He said, out of the blue. Matty took a deep breath and entered the lift with him.

"Don't really have a choice. She knows what she wants. I'm just trying to keep up" He replied. Robert let out a satisfied laugh.

"Good." Matty couldn't help himself.

"Just keep her away from that Monkeys lad" He requested. Robert let out a loud laugh.

"Alex is the least of your problems. She's going to be working with many bands. You're lucky Mr Turner writes all of his own songs" He chuckled, getting out on the second floor. "It was nice to see you, Mr Healy. Don't make it a frequent thing though." Matty just waved.

Knob, he thought.
