Amy turned back to face her friends who were giving her worried looks. She smiled at them reassuringly and said,"Don't worry. I'll be back before you know it. Meet you back here soon and also the press must be waiting for you. Enjoy the spotlight." They all smiled and nodded at her. Em said,"You be careful. If you need a rescue just give any of us a call." She giggled and said,"of course, Em" and she turned back to Paul who pulled her away from them. They all looked at Archie who was wearing a not-so-normal plain look.
After meeting a whole lot of people, Paul and Amy came to a stop near the bar station. Amy exasperated,"Huff... that was quite an experience and that also a tiring one." Paul laughed and said,"Yeah! That's true but I forgot one thing." Amy asked,"Oh! What's that?" Paul smiled sweetly and said,"I forgot to compliment you. You are looking damn pretty." Amy shyly smiled and whispered a thank you. Paul said,"Hey! Can I ask you a question?" Amy said,"Ya! Shoot." Paul hesitatingly asked,"I... I shouldn't pry in your matter but.. is... is Archie ... is Archie your boyfriend?" Amy's eyes widened and she retorted,"Oh! No!! Not at all. We are just friends. Best friends. Actually, we all are." Paul made an oh face and said,"Alright but still, I don't get why he's glaring daggers at me."
Amy looked in the direction he was looking and blushed to see that Paul indeed was right. Paul continued,"I mean since the time I've started talking with you he has given me that look only. So, I thought what I asked you. I would have been dead the moment I approached you, if only looks could kill." Amy laughed a bit at that and then they chatted for a bit but then Em came and said,"Amy! I think we should call it a day. It's 2:50. We have to rest too after this tiring day." Amy looked at her phone and then turned to Paul,"It was really nice getting to know you Paul but its getting late now. Hopefully we'll meet again. 'Til then." Paul smiled and got up to hug her bye. Amy returned the hug. Paul said,"Can I have your number?" Amy smiled, already being dragged by Em,"Sure! Your manager have it. Ba-bye." They waved at each other and then they all left in the car.
In the car Em teased Amy,"So, do you like Paul?" Amy blushed and said,"Oh do shut up! We're just friends. He's nice to talk to." Dray said sarcastically,"He's sooo nice that our Amy spent the whole after part talking to him only." Amy just rolled her eyes and said,"It was not like that. He introduced me to many people that I can make a collection of their cards. It was not only just him and I." Em mouthed a yeah and everybody rolled their eyes. Em looked at Archie and said,"Yo! Earth to Archie." He recovered from his stupor and looked at Em. Em continued,"You are deadly serious honey. What's up with you?" Archie just shrugged and said, "Nothing just tired and headache."
Amy looked at Archie and said,"Paul thought we are a couple and he was really afraid of you Archie." For a second everybody looked between them with mouths pressed in a thin line and then burst out laughing and Steph said trying to control his laughter,"Can't imagine why!" They all laughed harder at that except for Amy, who didn't understand what they meant and Archie who said under his breadth,"He should be."
