Chapter 51: Amigas
Malia's POV
I woke up with a sore back but I didn't want to quite wake up so I snuggled closer to my pillow. However my pillow groaned. I was quite confused as I opened my eyes to find out why my pillow was making noises. When I looked up I realized that my pillow wasn't a pillow but Matt. When I saw sleeping Matt I couldn't help but smile. I sat up a little bit so that I was leaning on his chest. I felt his chest rise up and down as he was breathing and I couldn't help myself from pushing away the hair that had fallen in front of his face to the side.
"How did I get so lucky," I whispered to myself as I admired Matt's sleeping figure.
"Y/N! WHERE ARE YOU WE HAVE TO GO SOON!" Jack G shouted from downstairs and my eyes widened. Oh my goodness I completely forgot that I have to go to the recording studio today. I took one last look at Matt's face before pressing my lips to his quickly and leaving to go get dressed.
I raced down the loft steps making sure to grab my phone on the way out. I shut the door quietly to the loft before rushing to my room. When I got in Lily was awake.
"Where were you? Johnson and Gilinsky have been looking for you, you have five minutes to get ready before you guys have to leave," She tells me.
"Okay, okay," I say as I wave my hand at her. "I was up in the loft with Matt, we fell asleep up there," I told her as if it was no big deal but I could feel her eyes widen and I knew she wanted me to tell her all about it. I stopped her before she spoke though. "No, I will tell her when I get back I have to get ready as you said," I said with a smile.
"Oh I hate you," She said which only caused me to laugh.
"No you don't, you love me," I said as I rushed into my closet and grabbed the first outfit I could put together which happened to be a simple black dress with a red flannel and black high top converse. Thankfully the dress had a couple pockets so I shoved my phone in one of them and some chap stick in the other. I hurried down the stairs to find both Jacks waiting patiently for me.
"We've been waiting for you," Johnson said with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, yeah I know let's get going we can get some breakfast on the way," I said as we hurried out the door.
"Oh we already ate," Gilinsky said with a cheeky smile on his face which only made me narrow my eyes at him.
"Fine well I will stop and get something small on the way," I corrected myself. We hopped into my car and I quickly backed out of the driveway.
"Oh by the way nice hair," Johnson said with the same smirk he wore this morning. My eyes widened and I looked up into the rearview mirror to see that my hair was a mess. It was sticking up in different directions.
"Well I will fix that when we get breakfast," I said as I pulled up to a Starbucks. While we were waiting in the drive thru line I tried pushing down my matted hair until I gave up and just threw it up into a messy bun that I hoped didn't look bad.
"Hi welcome to Starbucks, what can I get you today?" An overly cheerful voice said through the speaker.
"Hi can I get a grande green tea Frappuccino, with soy, sweetened with splenda, and one and half pumps of peppermint syrup, no whip please? Oh and can I have a blueberry bagel toasted with cream cheese please? I asked. When I looked to the passenger seat Gilinsky just looked petrified. "I've been dying to try out some of the Starbucks secret menu recipes and that was one of them," I told Gilinsky and he just held his hands up in defense as if to say 'I didn't say anything'. We moved forward and I got my stuff before I paid for it with my Starbucks card that I thankfully had on my phone considering I forgot my wallet at home in my rush to get out of the house.
We thankfully made it to the recording studio on time but we still rushed in. Me with my Starbucks in one hand and my bagel in the other. Paparazzi was there but it was toned down and I was expecting it this time so I wasn't as overwhelmed as I was the first time. The cameras were flashing and a couple reporters were shouting out questions but we didn't have time to answer them so we just went inside. We said a brief 'hello' to Michelle before riding the elevator up to the second floor. We entered the studio right as the clock changed to 9:30.
"Right on time," Joan said as we walked in.
"Good morning," I said as I sat myself down on the couch to get a breath. I was finally then able to actually take a bite of my bagel.
"So since it looks like you're still eating we can go over the song just in general and the plans for the future. I wanted to do it later but I think now would be best since we're not recording," Ari said as she eyed me with the bagel and I just blushed a bit in embarrassment.
"That sounds good," Johnson said as we all sat down around the small coffee table in front of the couch.
"So I already told you guys I wanted the song to be on my next album, but I also want to release it as a single so that way you guys can get the publicity and credit you deserve for the song," She said and I smiled at that.
"That's great, did you have a date set or a time in mind?" I asked her.
"Well definitely not this year, I was thinking sometime next year in March," She said. That sounded reasonable. Most people think that you just record a song and then you edit it and you're ready to release it when in reality some songs aren't released until years later. Some are never released because the artist constantly changes their mind.
"That sounds good it will be right around Spring Break for all the Nafs so they can party to it while they're on vacation," I told her.
"Yeah, but it might change depending on who else is releasing stuff, you gotta time this stuff perfectly because you don't really want to be going up against all these other people. Like yeah you want to have confidence in yourself when you release your music but at the same time if you want to get it up there if you're a fairly new artist in the music industry you don't want to be releasing stuff at the same time that Beyonce is. That's just not logical because your stuff will not make it up there and then your music won't get the credit it deserves," She explained to us.
"Wow that really makes sense, I never thought about it that way," I told her honestly. There was so much I didn't know about the music industry and this small lesson was nice to have.
"That's why sometimes we move our song release date forward or farther back," Gilinsky explained.
"Yeah, it's all about timing. But of course at some point you want to have some competition so it doesn't look like you're just avoiding all the other celebs because believe it or not people notice," Ari said with a small laugh. "But for right now I think March , 2015 will work, if anything changes I will be sure to let you know," She tells us. "Alright, well it looks like you're done with breakfast let's finish this song up and then the rest of today will just be editing," She said as she stood up.
I tossed the bagel covering and napkins into the trash can before setting my unfinished drink on the coffee table and following Ari into the booth along with both Jacks. We tried a few new and different recording methods. We actually each got to record our own track solo just so we wouldn't get distracted and if it came to it we could use it in the song instead of all of us in the booth recording together.
It was actually a bit hard to get used to at first because I was used to hearing Jack rap and singing with Gilinsky and Ari so I was a bit off for the first few takes but I eventually got it and Ari had nothing but positive remarks to say, granted I don't know if she was lying but I can definitely say that those diva rumors are completely untrue.
We finished the actual recording at around noon so we then used the rest of the time to edit it.
"Now I don't know about you guys but when I edit I don't like to use very much auto-tune, most of what I use is just echo and reverb and doubling up on vocals. Don't be afraid to ask for any of that, because sometimes I'm listening to myself and I'm just like turn it off! It's not that I'm out of tune but the sound of your voice is different from what you think and without any effect it is really rough and edge cutting and sometimes that's okay but I think for this song you want more of a flow," She explained to us.
"I don't use auto-tune much either," I told her honestly.
"Neither do we but we sometimes use it for like an effect on our voices that goes with the song not because it sounds bad," Johnson said.
"Okay yeah, so I know how to edit my voice but if you guys want to play around a little bit and get used to the equipment so that way you can play with your voice and find the edit you like the most?" Ari suggested.
"I think that's a good idea," I told her. We went off on our own separate ways and spent about three hours editing ourselves before we came back together to see the finished project. It was a bit rough because the sounds were different but it flowed if you know what I mean.
"I actually kind of like it, we still need to fix it up, but that's easy. Good work guys," Ari said as we all high fived. "I'll have some of my guys come in and we will fix it up this week and then I'll call you guys up and we can schedule a meet up to listen to the final product," She said with a smile.
"Alright, yeah," Johnson said. I couldn't stop smiling. We just 'finished' a song with Ariana Grande.
"All in a day's work," Ari said. "Hey we should get a couple pictures," She said before handing her phone to her mom. We all got in and took a couple pictures together.
"I can take some pictures on your phones too," Joan said.
"Oh yeah that would be great," I said as I fished mine out of my pocket and handed it to her, Jack and Jack doing the same. We took a bunch of pictures together before we finally hugged and parted ways.
"See you later Ari," Johnson called out as we left the studio.
"Bye babes!" She called back and blew a kiss.
"Well that just happened."
"You said that yesterday," Gilinsky pointed out.
"So, but this time it's like AHH it actually happened like we're done with the song now it's just going to be edited by professionals," I explained to him. "Don't tell me you're not jumping up and down on the inside?" I question him.
"Yeah I'm excited we all are, but we're just better at hiding it," Johnson said. "Oh my goodness I almost forgot! Those forms we filled out for Scooter!" He shouted and my eyes widened. That completely left my mind I didn't bring them with us.
"I left them at home!" I panicked.
"Don't panic they're in the car but I almost forgot that we need to give them to him," Johnson said and I let out a breath of relief. When we left the building paparazzi was still there which was no surprise but we quickly ran to the car, got the papers, then ran back to the building with many questions from the paparazzi.
We waved to Michelle before we rode the elevator up to the top floor to give the papers to Scooter. We knocked before we walked into his office to find him on the phone once again so we sat on the couch like we had the last time.
"I know but Ariana is in the studio now already working on her third album and she already has a bunch of songs she wants and she knows who she wants to collaborate with," Scooter said into the phone and I couldn't help but be curious as to who he was talking to but I didn't pry. Eventually he set the phone down.
"Sorry about that, you have the papers all filled out?" He asked as he motioned for us to come forward. We nodded and set the papers in front of him and he looked through them briefly before smiling at us. "Alright thank you, I'll be in contact with you at some point in time. I can't tell you when because I don't even know. This business is tricky you gotta time everything as I'm sure Ariana explained to you," He said with a small chuckle.
"Yes she did," Gilinsky said.
"Well thank you for doing this. I hope to be in touch with you soon but if not you know why," He said with a smile before going back to work so we just excused ourselves. We rode the elevator down and said the final goodbye to Michelle as we walked out of the doors to greet the now larger amount of paparazzi. We just held up our hands to try and block out the flashes as we made our way to the car.
I'm sure we can expect another random article on us by the time we get back. That reminds me I am posting the behind the scenes footage of my studio experience with all the guys and Ari today. I quickly opened my phone up and tweeted out.
@MaliaIDallas: Video is going up today! I'll post it as soon as I get back, I think y'all know what the surprise is but still watch it!
We drove home with the radio on just listening to the pop station when Shawn came on. We didn't completely flip but it was nice to hear Shawn. Both Jacks got out their phone and started snap chatting what was happening and tweeting for everyone to tune in.
"So you got popular on Vine and from what I have heard it really was one of those overnight things," The interview said to Shawn and I heard him laugh.
"Yeah, they say it doesn't happen overnight and believe most of it doesn't but for me I guess I just got lucky. I posted a six second cover of As Long As You Love Me by Justin Bieber and then when I woke up I had 10,000 followers and I was like whoa!" Shawn said and I couldn't help but laugh. I really miss Shawn.
"Now am I correct that before you went on tour you were part of this group called Magcon I believe?"
"Yes."
"Alright so explain to me what that is? Cause I don't know," The interview said and I laughed, most people don't.
"So Magcon just stands for Meet and Greet Convention. So Bart Bordelon created it for social media stars like me and other vine famous people to go on tour and so that our viewers or fans could meet us. We call them Nafs now which is a long story for another time, but he created it and then after the first two events all of the guys who are part of it now were on the tour," Shawn said. I was listening intently and so were the Jacks.
"So no girls?" He asked.
"Well we did have a girl, her name was Mahogany and she was our DJ, but she wouldn't always come with us sadly. But now we have Malia who is officially part of the tour," Shawn explains and I smiled.
"Now why do you think that is, that there were no girls on the actual tour until now?" The interview asks.
"Well there was we had Mahogany," Shawn answered sounding a bit confused.
"Well yeah but she was the DJ she wasn't part of the act," The Interview countered.
"Well I think she was. She was social media famous just like the rest of us she just knew how to DJ. She got to meet all the people that came just like the rest of us," Shawn answers.
"GO SHAWN!" I shouted out loud causing Jack and Jack to look at me weirdly.
"Okay my mistake. But why then do you think that there were so many more guys on the tour than girls?" He asked.
"Umm, well. I'm not Bart so I can't answer that but at the time Bart chose the people who were most talked about. I can't really control whether they are guys or girls it just happened to be mostly guys," Shawn answered. Good answer Shawn.
By the time we got home Shawn's interview had finished. I parked the car in the garage and we all went into the house. Okay time to upload the video. We walked into the house and then parted ways to do separate things. I ran up to my room to upload my video but my laptop wasn't there, until I remembered that I had it with me upstairs in the loft.
I quickly went up the stairs to get my computer to find Lily sitting next to it on her own laptop.
"Well hello," I said as I walked over and sat down next to her opening my laptop.
"Hello to you too," She said glancing up from her laptop. I could tell she was dying to ask. "Don't worry I'll tell you all about it just stop fidgeting and staring at me weirdly," I told her with a laugh which gave me a small slap to the arm.
"I don't fidget weirdly," She stated which made me scoff.
"Sure you don't," I said sarcastically. I opened up the saved video and started uploading it to YouTube. I added everyone's social media links in the description and titled it: ARIANA GRANDE STUDIO VISIT
Lily tweeted out for everyone to go watch it and I retweeted her tweet before making my own.
@MaliaIDallas: hey guys the video is up! Go watch it like it and subscribe then tweet me a picture with #MaliasNewVideo and I'll try and follow you!
As soon as I tweeted it out Lily looked at me.
"Okay so I have been dying all day," She said to me and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay I will tell you, just don't interrupt," I warn her and she nodded. "So it's actually not that big, but I was up here last night just doing some homework, which reminds me I have to finish that up, but anyway I was doing homework when Matt came up. Obviously I stopped doing homework. He sat down next to me and it got a little heated at first but then we ended up just lying next to each other and just talking about stuff that everyone else is too afraid to talk about. Eventually I fell asleep all cuddled up next to Matt and then I woke up late for studio rehearsal. But that's it not much to it," I tell her as I tried really hard not to blush.
"Not much to it my butthole. People don't just make out then lie down next to each other and talk about their biggest darkest secrets anymore, that's all in the movies and books. That's real stuff. Oh God you two are so in love and cute together it sickens me but at the same time makes me happy and nervous," She confides to me.
"Haha, what do you mean by nervous?" I ask her.
"Well aren't you slightly scared?" She asks me back leaning in closer.
"About what?"
"Just the relationship in general. I don't know how to say this without it sounding harsh and mean," She rambles.
"Just say it."
"Well it's just that, I love your relationship with Matt, but what if something were to happen? What if Matt got hurt or you got hurt or something happened that forced you two apart. I don't know it just scares me what could happen to both of you. Like you're so in love with each other that it could kill you. I think it is absolutely beautiful that you guys love each other so much but at the same time you're so young and so deep in love. I'm not saying you don't know what love is because I can see the love between you two and it is genuine. But I'm saying what if something were to happen to Matt? What if he were killed in a car accident? How would you take that?" She asked me and I honestly didn't know how to put my thoughts into words. I just sat there trying to say something but nothing would come out.
Eventually I was able to say something. "I don't know."
"You have like skipped all of the bad dating and relationship stages and just went straight to pre-marital boyfriend material. Matt is a great boyfriend to you and he treats you really well. It's just that you have your whole life ahead of you. So much could happen in your life that would affect your relationship with Matt even if you don't want it too. I just don't want you to get hurt, or Matt. Like long distant relationships are really hard and when you go on tour in the future he may not be able to go with you. He will have his own career," Lily explained. By this point I was able to speak now.
"I hear you Lily and I have thought about the dangers of dating anyone or getting too close to someone, but you know there's always those times when you just can't stop yourself. Like you know you really shouldn't do this or you have no idea what will happen and everyone is telling you to wait but you can't. Your heart physically can't wait. Well that was one of those times. I didn't want to date any of the guys coming into this because you know my past and you know how many walls I have put up, but Matt was able to break down those walls so easily. I wanted to be selfish and have something for me for once. It sounds awful but I couldn't hold myself back from not wanting to be with Matt, he makes me happy. I knew all of those dangers going into it, but I guess I just kind of forgot about them along the way because of how great everything is going. But I mean come on Lily, you know me better than that. I love Matt yes but I don't depend on Matt alone. I recognize I am still young. I love Matt but not with all of my heart. You see my happiness can't depend on one person or any person for that matter for the exact reason you brought up. If something were to happen to Matt yes I would be devastated and I probably wouldn't know what to do but I know that Matt would want me to continue on with my life. I have pieces of my heart for all of you guys. Not any one person takes up all of my heart. That's how you get hurt. I have learned that you can't depend on others to make you happy. You can have others to make yourself happier but at the end of the day you need to be the one to wake up and you need to be the one to put a smile on your own face. You can love someone but your whole world doesn't have to revolve around them. It may sound not as love sick and cliché as 'you're my whole world' but it's the truth. If you want a healthy life style or a healthy relationship you have to be able to realize that you're important as well and that while you can love them don't give up your independence," I said as I rubbed Lily's shoulder. "I really hope I didn't sound like a huge jerk right there," I said to myself which got Lily laughing.
"Not at all. That actually made me feel a lot better. About a lot of stuff. Like I have been worried about what would happen to you if Matt were to leave or vice versa, but also I've been kind of thinking about Taylor," She said. At Taylor's name my ears perked up.
"What about Taylor?" I asked excitedly.
"I know we had this talk before and I told you that I just didn't know if I was ready for a relationship. I knew I liked him but I didn't know how invested I was with this," She explained. "Well now that you've talked about your relationship with Matt and the whole dependent and independent thing I kind of realized why I was so cautious to be with Taylor," She said and I looked at her telling her to continue. "Well I've had boyfriends in the past but none that were really serious. But I mentioned to you that long distance relationships are hard, but that was one of my biggest fears because I just didn't know if I would be able to cope with missing Taylor or with him missing me. I now realize that while it may be hard the relationship could still happen but both of us have to work at it. I realize that I don't have to depend on Taylor or that he doesn't have to depend on me, like I guess I just always thought that once you were in a relationship it was all about being together and keeping that relationship image up. But no, I don't always have to hang out with him just because we are boyfriend and girlfriend. I mean yeah that's important but what's important is being comfortable with the other," She said to me and I smiled.
"Look at you being all wise," I teased her.
"I had a great teacher," She said with a smile which made me smile.
"Here's the thing though. I wouldn't recommend starting this whole dating process with Taylor now because you are leaving tomorrow and while I love that you are willing to work on the whole long distance stuff, I don't really think it is a great idea to get in a relationship and then instantly be separated from each other. Because every relationship has that small stage where they just are always together doing stuff. It's like a honeymoon phase and if you told him now you would be skipping that phase because you wouldn't be hanging out and I think it would just be harder. I want you two together but I want you to stay together," I tell her.
"Yeah I get it," She sighs.
"I'm sorry but I just think it would be better if you waited," I tell her. I don't want to be in charge of her life but I also don't want Lily or Taylor to get hurt. Does that make me a bad friend? I'm not trying to control her life this is just an important aspect of her life and I know it won't be perfect but wouldn't it be better if they waited? It will also test out how loyal their feelings are to each other, who knows? What if they don't like each other next time they meet?
"Well that's enough dating advice for one day," Lily said as she let out a breath and I laughed.
"Agreed," I said. "Hey can you help me follow some of the NAFs?" I ask her.
"Sure," She says as she grabs my laptop and opens up twitter. I went to twitter on my phone and searched the hashtag so I could start following and retweeting people. "Oh my goodness," Lily whisper gasped to herself.
"What?" I asked worried.
"You're trending worldwide for two hashtags!" She exclaimed as she turned the laptop around.
"Wait. Two?" I asked confused.
"Yeah," She said nodding. "#MaliasNewVideo and it's not a hashtag but Ariana's new song with Malia Dallas and Jack & Jack," She read off to me.
"Man, that is a long subject," I said as my eyes widened. "Just keep following people," I tell her with a laugh and a smile on my face.
@MaliaIDallas: man you guys are awesome #MaliasNewVideo is trending and so is the buzz about the song with @JackJackJohnson @jackgilinsky and @ArianaGrande thanks guys!
Lily and I retweeted a bunch of people and we were able to follow a bunch too which made me really happy.
@MaliaIDallas: alright guys I have reached my follow limit on twitter I'm really sorry. If I didn't get to you today I will try to next time thank you so much for everything! Simplicate
Lily helped me bring my laptop downstairs and we plugged it back in along with my phone. Her bags were all packed up. She was leaving around noon tomorrow and I was really going to miss her.
** ** ** ** **
We ate a simple dinner of left overs before we all settled in the media room to watch a movie. Of course being the people we are, we were arguing over what to watch.
"Why doesn't Lily choose since she is the one leaving tomorrow," I suggest and nobody seemed to be against it.
"Okay um how about we watch Silence of the Lambs I'm feeling good tonight," She said with a small smile and I instantly regretted my decision.
"I take it back, how about someone else picks," I say trying desperately to get out of watching a horror movie.
"Mals it was your idea," Cameron said innocently but I knew that he knew I was freaking out on the inside. Everyone knew.
"Why did you listen to me then?" I shouted and the room erupted with laughter.
"Come on Mals you said I could pick it is my last day," Lily teased and I just rolled my eyes at her.
"Some friend you are," I mutter as I take my seat next to Matt and lay my head on his shoulder. I could feel him chuckling but I didn't say anything.
We started the movie and frankly I think I was doing a pretty great job of keeping quiet. I was mostly disgusted by all of it. My face was buried in Matt's shoulder for probably the entire movie as I cringed at the sounds of flesh being ripped apart.
Eventually the torture was over and I could breathe again.
"Well you have had your fun but if you don't mind, now I think I will go get ready for bed," I said as I stood up. Everyone was looking at me just waiting for me to freak out but I refused to let that happen. I don't like horror movies which you can probably tell but I would rather watch a horror movie than have to deal with everything that comes after watching a horror movie. Because then I just psych myself out. I made my way up the stairs quickly but cautiously. I shut my bedroom door and turned around slowly. No one is there Malia. I took a deep breath and went into the bathroom to get a shower. I shut the door and I made sure to lock it. I didn't look at myself as I got undressed and hopped into the shower.
I also didn't keep my eyes closed for very long while I was shampooing. I made it through my shower and dried off. I wrapped the towel around me and unlocked the bathroom door before peering out to make sure no one was there. I knew that no one would be there from the movie or anything like that but what I didn't know was if any of the guys or Lily was going to try and scare me. Once I decided the coast was clear I grabbed my pajamas and made a b-line for the closet. I shut the door and turned on the lights, nearly screamed my head off when I saw Lily standing there.
"I KNEW IT WAS COMING!" I shouted as I threw my clothes on the floor and Lily just laughed her butt off.
"Oh you should have seen your face," She said through laughs. I bet it was hilarious. After probably 5 minutes Lily stopped finally laughing. At that point I had already gotten changed into pajamas, well what I used as pajamas. It was a matching sweatpants and sweatshirt set from freshtops. They were sweatpants with the monkey emoji covering his mouth and a matching sweatshirt that was slightly cropped.
Once Lily got into the shower everything was pretty much back to normal. I wanted to spend today and tomorrow with her considering she was leaving tomorrow. While Lily was in the shower I made a few vines of me singing because I hadn't really been on vine very much and I wasn't as creative as some of the guys. I sang small clips from Lips Are Movin' and Rather Be. They were just in my head. I revined a couple of edits that people had made of me. They were pretty cool. They had taken clips from my YouTube videos and put them together.
I decided to film random vines so I left my room and went exploring around the house to see who I could bombard. I found Aaron sitting in the kitchen on his phone and I decided to scare him. I took a short video of myself then I went up to Aaron and screamed in his ear. He fell of his chair and I got it all on vine. I was laughing so hard. Thankfully his phone didn't fall. I quickly tagged Aaron in it with the caption scare cam before posting it. Oh I just had an idea. I can do the best friend tag with Lily.
I ran back up the stairs to find her in her pajamas.
"Please tell me you're not tired?" I ask with pleading eyes.
"I'm not, why?" She says hesitantly.
"Well I want to do the best friend tag with you," I tell her.
"Oh okay yeah we can do that," She said with a smile on her face. I jumped up and down for joy before hurrying off to Cameron's room for the video camera, which reminds me I still need to meet Bryant. "Where are we doing it?" She asked.
"In the kitchen, I was thinking of adding a slight twist to it," I said to her with a smirk and her eyes widened. "It will be fun, now start thinking of questions to ask me about yourself and I will do the same," I tell her as we set up the camera in the kitchen. After about 15 minutes I have all my questions I want to ask Lily.
"Okay so here is the twist, we are going to scoop out two bowls of ice cream, and for every question I get wrong for you, you get to shove my face in ice cream and vice versa," I told her.
"I just got a shower," She whined but laughed.
"Well it doesn't matter, maybe we won't have to get another shower," I tell her. We set up the camera and start to record.
"Hey guys! It's Malia and today I am here with my best friend LILY! We are going to be doing the best friend tag today since she is leaving to go back to Florida tomorrow. As you can see we just got our showers and are in our pajamas which wasn't that wise considering what we are about to do," I say to the camera.
"We're going to be asking each other questions that the other should know about the other but if we get one wrong then we have to shove ice cream in our face," Lily explains. With that we tie our hair up into messy buns and continue on with the video.
"Alright let's get the ice cream out," I said and I went to the freezer and grabbed the plain vanilla ice cream. I scooped some into my bowl and some into Lily's.
"Alright we are back," Lily said as we took our seats in front of the camera.
"Alright I'll ask the first question. This should be easy, what is my favorite color?" I asked her.
"Green," She said with a smile on her face before looking at her phone.
"When is my birthday?"
"That was my next question but yours is January 25, 1998," I tell the camera before sticking my tongue out. "I'm a good best friend," I teased.
"Yours is December 14, 1997," She answered before sticking her tongue out at me. "How many siblings do I have?" She asked.
"One," I answered quickly. "What is my favorite word?" I asked slyly.
"What you have like five!" She exclaims.
"Fine name three," I tell her and she looks like she is thinking for a moment.
"Burgundy, Intellectual, and umm Library?" She says.
"ERRR!" I say making an error noise. "You were close three of my favorite words are burgundy, intellectual, and literature," I tell her with a smile. "Now you know what you gotta do," I tell her and she looks at the ice cream bowl with a frown before smashing it in her face causing me to laugh. "Aw you still look gorgeous as ever," I tell her.
"Okay it's my turn. What is my middle name?" She asks.
"Maria and that was literally my next question but I know you know it," I tell her.
"Yeah it's India," She says before sneaking in a bit of ice cream. "Where did we first meet?" She asks.
"At the beach you came up to me and gave me those white crochet sandal things I still have them," I tell her. "Who is someone I want to collaborate with in the future?" I ask her.
"There are so many," She exclaims.
"Well just name one," I tell her. "You can't pick Ari."
"Um don't you want to work with Justin?" She questions.
"YUP!" I say with a smile.
"Alright what is my favorite ice cream flavor?" She asks.
"Oh I know this, wait I know this don't I? Chocolate?" I ask.
"Nope," She says with a smirk and I roll my eyes.
"Here it goes," I said and I shoved the ice cream into my face. "What is it?" I ask when I come up.
"Strawberry," She tells me.
"Okay, what is my biggest like weird material fear?" I ask her.
"Weird material fear?" she repeats and I nod. She looks to be in thought before a lightbulb goes off, "Squirrels," she says.
"That is correct!" I say like a game show host.
"What is my favorite sport?" She asks.
"Football, the American kind," I say quickly.
"Yup."
"What is my favorite and least favorite font?" I ask her.
"What? How am I supposed to know that?" She asks.
"I complain about fonts all the time," I tell her.
"You know most people don't even have a favorite font," She mutters.
"You know I'm not like most people," I tell her.
"I know you don't like Times New Roman but that's not your least favorite. Oh you hate Comic Sans and your favorite is...um Garamond?" She asks.
"Nope you were close, you were right about the whole Comic Sans stuff, but my favorite font is Cambria," I tell her. "You only have to smash your face a little bit," I tell her but she just rolls her eyes at me.
"Okay what was my childhood dream?" She asks me once she is done smashing ice cream into her face.
"I don't know this? Wait, wait, to be a hockey player?" I ask.
"Nope, I wanted to be a figure skater," She told me. "You don't have to do the whole thing you got the ice part right," She said.
"Okay what do I always get at chipotle?" I ask her.
"You get a sofritas burrito with black beans, brown rice, peppers, and mushrooms," She says as if she was reading it off of something.
"That is correct," I say.
"Okay where did we become best friends?"
"At a hotel during breakfast," I told her. "What is my favorite Starbucks drink at the moment?"
"You like the secret Starbucks Menu and you have been getting the Skinny Mint lately," She tells me.
"You're good," I remark.
"What color is my toothbrush?"
"OH IT'S PURPLE! I saw it this morning," I said really proud of myself. "Okay last question, what is my favorite smell?" I ask her.
"You have a lot. You like the smell of clean laundry, old books, and stuff like that," She said.
"That works. Your turn you have the last question," I tell her.
"What brand of lotion do I use?" She asks.
"For what?"
"My legs and arms," She says.
"Aveeno, I saw it when I was helping you pack," I tell her. "Well it looks like we both tied only getting one and a half questions wrong. Thanks for watching!" I said before we both waved goodbye. I was too lazy to shut off the camera so it just recorded us eating ice cream.
Once we finished ice cream Lily and I both washed our faces in the shower again being extra careful not to get any of our clothes wet. I told her I would edit the video later because I wanted to spend time with her and it was only 9:02pm. We played some video games until around 9:30 and then we snuggled up in my bed together and watched Jim Carrey standup comedy until midnight.
Great way to end the night, with laughter.
