“More importantly, it means your penis embargo is over and I won the bet,” Nate adds triumphantly. “Courts, you owe me 50 quid.”

I hide a smile as Courtney mutters under her breath before pulling some scrunched up notes out of her bag. “I should’ve known Meg wouldn’t keep her legs crossed around him.”

“You guys are the worst.”

“To say the least.” Nate waves his newly acquired 50 quid in the air. “Kaan seems like an okay guy.”

“Your budding bromance is very sweet.”

“Who gives a toss about Nate and Kaan. I want to know aboutyouand Kaan. I realise the whole romance is fake, but it doesn’t take a genius to see the sparks flying between you two.”

I raise my eyebrows at Courtney. “I know not to play with fire.”

“But it’s been so long since you’ve had a good spark.”

“Cute.”

“Seriously though—”

I sigh and wipe my mouth on my serviette. “Seriously? I’m doing my job, and that’s all.”

“Is it part of your job to shag the rock star?”

“Piss off, Nate.” Checking the time, I slide out of the booth and grab my handbag. “And on that insult, I must get back to work.”

I peek around the corner and Albie nods at me again. “The coast is clear, me darling. One of those little buggers tried to sneak in but we sent ‘im packing.”

“In one piece?”

Albie laughs and calls out loudly to the room. “Little miss ‘ere wants to know if we treated that nasty cockroach nice?”

The room cheers and I blow kisses at them. “Thanks, boys.”

My Early Morning Wake-up Call

IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS:

So, who is Meg Martin and what’s the deal with her? Well, with over two million followers on her social media account, Meg Martin is Single, she’s no stranger to the spotlight. Here’s what we know about her.

First of all, Meg Martin hails from Manchester and is currently 28 years old. She’s one of five sisters and is reportedly the messiest of the bunch. Interestingly, she actually dropped out of university to travel the world, and at one point, she found herself involved in an international incident in Morocco. While details are scarce, sources say it may have had something to do with an ex-boyfriend. Salacious!

When it comes to Miz Martin’s likes and dislikes, she loves chocolate but hates chocolate cake. She also suffers from Lepidoterophobia, the fear of butterflies.

But perhaps what’s most notable about Miz Martin is her fashion sense. She’s often seen wearing vintage-inspired clothing and is a big fan of op-shops and market stalls. Sometimes her outfits are a success, like the double denim ensemble that she wore last night when she and Kaan watched The Zooms play in Camden. But other times she exudes all the class and style of a bag lady asking for a handout. Case in point, do you remember those atrocious photos of her leaving her offices when she was first linked with Kaan? I mean, sometimes stripes and prints do not work. And for goodness’ sake girlfriend, cover those hickeys! You’re a grown woman, not a teenager on prom night!

Despite her petite 5’2” frame, Meg loves to wear heels, which is a plus since Kaan is a good 12 inches taller than her. Speaking of Kaan, before her most recent cryptic social media post, Miz Martin had not updated her accounts for well over a month. It’s safe to say that she and Kaan were probably already an item but chose to keep things under wraps. The couple eventually went public after Kaan was spotted grocery shopping near Miz. Martin’s home in London.

I’m Pippa Ellis, and this is Fame and No-sense.

That first brief run-in with the press had given me a glimpse of what my life would become. I could no longer walk to work or pop into the market without someone taking a photo. It’s not just the photographers lined up on the footpath outside work, it’s the fans taking photos and videos on their mobiles hoping to glimpse Kaan. I even have had haters yelling abuse, hoping to get some kind of reaction out of me.

It was clear to Brynn, and probably to Kaan as well, that I did not fall into the typical cliché of ‘girlfriend of a rock star’, So when it comes to public outings, we have to keep things lowkey; hanging out at the studio, attending well-publicised parties, or even fish and chips at Borough Markets on a random Monday afternoon. It’s just enough to make the press believe the ruse, but not so much that we’re living out some sort of fantasy life. And while we have had noalonetime since that first night… and the next morning…, we spend an inordinate amount of time together. And the more time we spend together, the more I realise that Kaan isn’t the conceited ass that I thought he was. Yes, we got off on the wrong foot, but now we seem to have fallen into an easy… existence. Not exactly friendship, and I’m not sure we will ever truly be friends, but instead I think we’re both more accepting of our fate.

What about the sex, you might ask?
