"Well, well, well isn't this quite the little scandal"
I rubbed my eyes sleepily and opened them to find my self face to face with Roger's bare chest. I slowly heard him grunt as he began to sit up next to me. I shot up along with him. We both stared in front of us and saw the other 3 members of Queen staring back at us with folded arms. Brian wore a disapproving fatherly look and John looked slightly confused. But Freddie had the biggest grin on his face, as if he was enjoying every second of this
"Mind telling us what happened?" Brian said cocking his eyebrow slightly
"And spare no detail" Freddie grinned
"This is NOT what it looks like" Roger began "We just watched a movie an-"
"SLEPT TOGETHER" Fred screamed
"NO FRED" Roger and I both retorted in unison
"I asked him to come into the bed with me because I felt bad, he was on the couch and he already watched grease for me. It's my fault" I said quickly fiddling with a button on Rog's shirt
"Grease, really Roger?" Brian said and Roger shrugged next to me.
"Hey look, I don't really know what's going on. But I will make breakfast and we will all chat in the living room?" Deaky, the voice of reason piped up from the back. "Deal?"
"Deal" everyone said in unison
_______________________________________________________________________________
I pulled on Rog's pair of red shorts, and quickly threw my hair up into a messy bun. I stood fiddling with it in the mirror. Roger came up behind me placing his hands on my waist and planting a kiss on my cheek.
"I'm sorry"
"What for?" I questioned
"You don't deserve this scandal" he looked me up and down, getting distracted "How can you look this good so early?"
"Eyes up here Lover Boy. now let's go and face this" I smirked back at him
Roger quickly threw on a shirt, much to my disappointment . I took a deep breath and nodded to him. As he held open the door for me to walk into the living room where the three other's sat around the modern dining table in hushed conversation. They all turned to look at us as we walked into the kitchen. Roger quickly made his way over to the kettle whilst I slipped into a seat next to John .
"Tea anyone? Lily Pad?" Roger awkwardly asked
"Yeah, sure. Eh Thanks. Just a splash of milk. Please" I smiled back the sentence coming out awkwardly
"Ok, Ok" Freddie said with a roll of his eyes "Let's cut to the chase, did you two shag last night?"
Brian spat out his tea all over John.
"Bit forward Fred" John said wiping tea from his brow
"Also no, nothing happened between us. It was completely innocent" Roger said, walking to the table and handing me my cup of tea.
I took it gently blowing on the curling trail of steam. Freddie looked over at me cocking his eyebrow, and I shrugged nodding
"Roger Taylor. Innocent?" Freddie said surprise lacing his voice.
"Truly and utterly" I said matter of factly smiling softly over my mug at Roger
"You two bore me. Call me when something good happens" Freddie sighed "Mary and I are heading to my parents for dinner tonight. We were wondering if you all wanted to join, meet the creators as it were"
"Sure" Brian and John agreed
"Can I bring Lily Pad?"
"Of course darling, she was invited before you were" Freddie smiled
"Oh- uh thanks?" Roger questioned
"Thanks for the invite Fred" I smiled at him
"Anything for my future designer and musical prodigy" he retorted winking playfully
We sat around the breakfast table. Speaking endlessly about music and how the band was going to really take off. The boys all discussed ideas of new songs, joking about how I would have to attend every rehearsal now. Brian and John were so sweet and funny, totally contrasting to outrageous Freddie and outspoken Roger. Yet somehow it all worked they all slotted together perfectly. I sighed happily watching them argue over whether Brian would ever cut his hair or not. I sipped my tea and basked in the sunlight enjoying the small happy moment with the boys.

"Thanks Bri. I'll see you tonight" I slammed the door to Brian's car shut as he chugged away. I watched him round the corner his old car spluttering off into the busy city. A warm sense of happiness washed over me. Something I hadn't felt in a really long time. I walked to my apartment fully intoxicated by the blissful mood I was in. I swung open the door to my balcony and reached for my favourite sketching pencil and a loose sheet of paper. I looked out over the shining city and began to sketch. My pencil moved lightly and quickly over the paper, my eyes darting and taking in every single detail. I flourished with the last stroke as my eyes proudly swept over the new design. I had designed a outfit for Freddie, it was utterly outrageous. Only he could pull it off. had drawn a pair of wide legged leather trousers, paired with a velvet black top that was low cut. And very risqué so naturally, only Fred could pull it off. I wavered over a new piece of paper as I considered designing a coat for Rog. I could already picture it, white leather with tassels. Maybe even some diamonds, of course he would have to wear it shirtless to showcase those abs and of-
Evelyn Lily you are spiralling
I recomposed myself and went to pick out my outfit for tonight. A long floaty red patterned dress called to me. It would look perfect, the golden specks shining in the gleaming sun. I pulled it out and slipped it over my head, of course pairing with a pair of platforms. I reached for a golden necklace that had a small sun that rested on my collar bone. I brushed my hair back and pulled it into a half up half down style, letting parts of my hair frame my face. I swept some golden eyeshadow over my lids and a small swipe of lip-gloss. I glanced at my watch. I had just enough time, I walked over to the rushed design for Roger pinned to my fridge alongside the detailed one for Fred. I pulled out a pencil and began sketching my pencil quickly darting across the page.
RING! I jumped at the sound of my doorbell. I quickly rushed to open the door. I found Roger standing outside and I pulled him in through the door, trying not to annoy the neighbours further.
"I'll just be one second" I said rushing into the back room to grab my coat.
"Hey Evie, this is a super cool design" I came back into the room to find Roger examining the design on my table I had been working on for him
"It's nothing really I was just messing about" I said quickly dismissing the design I'd drawn for him "This morning was a little awkward huh?" I said adjusting my dress
"Yeah, but they had it all wrong" he said placing the design back on the fridge
"I know" my eyes drifted out the window
"Evie you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen" he smiled walking closer to me
I rolled my eyes "Oh shut up Rog. How many girls have you said that to? Too many probably"
"Hey" he grabbed me by the waist and looked deeply into my eyes. The world stopped as I stood frozen in this moment "I mean it" I smiled looking at the ground a pink blush covering my cheeks
"I love your smile"
"Stop"
"On one condition"
"What would that be?"
"Can I kiss you?" he asked putting two of his fingers under my chin and lifting my head so I looked him in the eyes. Butterflies formed in my stomach as I nodded quickly. I saw his lips part as my eyes fluttered shut and our lips collided in a soft kiss.
__________________________________________________________________
Roger and I pulled into Freddie's driveway. We were running late, due to multiple times of me getting Roger to stop so I could kiss him. We walked to the doorway hand in hand. I squeezed his hand as he smiled down at me. I quickly ran my hands through his hair trailing down his back and shoulders right down to the back of his belt.
"Tease" he smirked at me
"I'm one you are gonna have to work for Meddows"
Mary opened the door and practically dragged us into the living room everyone sat with wine filled glasses in their hands. They were all smiling delightfully at the both of us.
"Okay who is pregnant?" Roger smirked "I always knew John would get knocked up"
"OH SHUT UP WE ARE GOING ON TOUR" Freddie yelled throwing his arms in the air
(I know this isn't how it happened but I am skipping for the story's sake. Sorry xx)
"Tour?" A confused look swept over Rog and I.
"The album hit the charts in the U.S and we have a tour of America booked" Brian shouted
"I don't believe it" Roger said his head in his hands "How long have you known"
"Oh I don't know 5 minutes. You would have known too if you were on time" John smirked they all engulfed into one huge hug jumping up and down like little girls. I looked at them my hands clasped onto my chest a tremendous amount of pride swelling in my chest as tears pricked at my eyes. Then it suddenly struck me, Roger would be gone. For a good few months, I had finally just started to feel comfortable again with a guy and now he was leaving. A sinking feeling settled in my gut. Roger came over to me wrapping his huge arms tightly around me.
"Isn't it great, isn't it just amazing. We are so lucky. So, so lucky" he looked down at me as I met him with a weary smile "Babe? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah yeah it's fantastic. Just I'm gonna miss you" you smiled sadly up to meet his eyes
"Miss me? Why would you miss me?" He looked at me confused "Did Fred not tell you yet?"
"Tell me what?"
"He requested you as our official designer"
"What?"
"He requested you a-"
"WHAT?!" I yelled gleefully "This is amazing, I can't believe it" I shouted jumping up into Roger's arms and wrapping my legs around his waist. He held me closely laughing into my hair. He gently set me back down and played with a strand of my hair as we stood closely in an embrace. He looked as me as though he was drinking in every ounce of me.
"Evelyn Lily?" Roger looked at me softly "Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
