Chapter Text
@sharmaworld: Anyone think we might be getting new Kate music soon? It’s been almost three years since her last album
@katespen: YES! Music is long overdue, I wish we had a release date so I can start a countdown
@cressisbest: I’ve really enjoyed not listening to new Kate music over the past while, Cressida is clearly more talented and y’all are stanning the wrong artist.
The air was heavy, but light. Filled with both of their scents, it had become familiar over the past few months.
‘I’m beginning to think my bed is keeping you away from making music,’ Anthony grinned down at her, caressing the side of her cheek, his other hand going straight to a loose strand of hair and pulling gently.
‘Don’t be ridiculous,’ Kate sighed, closing her eyes, ‘I’m working on it. Art takes time. No point in rushing. Besides I’m busy trying to raise Newton.’ She wound her arms around his neck, bringing him closer. The corgi was sat in the corner of the room, still fast asleep used to their antics.
‘Is that so?’ She nodded against him, ‘Well I can’t help with Newton as he never listen to me but I can ensure you are thoroughly inspired, Miss Sharma.’ Her shrieks of laughter filled the room as he flipped them over.
‘Well they do say inspiration can come in the strangest ways.’
SPOTTED: Kate Sharma spotted getting cosy with eligible Viscount Bridgerton
Well it seems we may have a new couple on our hand!
Kate Sharma, 26, was spotted last night at a local club. As the pictures show and witnesses confirm, the young popstar was very familiar with Anthony Bridgerton, a Viscount nonetheless.
‘They were being very giggly, stealing kisses, it definitely seemed like they had been together for a while rather than a first date.’ A witness told our reporter. The reporter has not been able to discern from sources how long the two have been seeing each other.
Fans have been wondering where Kate has been since the release of her last album, Traditions, in 2018. Perhaps the Viscount has been inspiring new music from her.
@sharmasworld: A VISCOUNT! A HOT VISCOUNT!
@katespen: Not the type I thought she’d go for but the pap pictures did look cute. I wonder if they’ve been together since the last tour – maybe we’re not getting music bc she’s loved up
@sharmassexy: I HOPE SHE’S GETTING RAILED GOOD
@katesharmafanpage: We won’t be sharing the pap pics out of respect for their privacy. Kate clearly wanted to keep this private for now and we shall not post until she does.
@cressisthebest: The reality is Kate has realised her music is medicore, she cannot compete with Cressida’s stardom and has latched herself onto the first rich man she could find
‘We should just ignore it,’ Kate stated, ‘Something else will come around that will interest people more. It always does.’
‘Kate,’ Anthony was watching her carefully, ‘We can ignore it for now but we can’t hide forever.’
‘Just not yet, a little bit longer of just us – that’s what I need.’
‘Okay,’ he said, bringing her closer Their noses touching ever so briefly, he sighed, ‘Whatever you need, Kate.’
Being like this, hidden away, it felt safe to her. Like no one could touch them, hurt them if they stayed away and kept their relationship private.
Or perhaps she was simply scared of loving someone publicly – why else would she not release the hundreds of songs she had written for him over the past couple of months? She was terrified of their love being public and judged.
‘You should’ve told us it was Kate Sharma you were seeing!’ Hyacinth was giddy with excitement, twirling around the Bridgerton sitting room ‘You know I love her music, perhaps we can get tickets whenever she does her next show!’
‘I’d like to go as well!’ Gregory had gone a bit red upon the discovery, having harboured a small crush on Kate since Hyacinth first blasted her debut album.
‘Let’s see if she sticks around that long,’ Colin stated, dodging a swipe from Anthony.
‘Yeah he might scare her off,’ Eloise stated, ‘She seems very career focused so maybe she’ll dump you.’
‘Don’t be ridiculous,’ he stated, ‘I can assure you I have no intention of letting Kate Sharma go and I believe her to feel the same way about me.’ His proclamation was met with silence for a beat,
‘Oh Anthony,’ His mother said, ‘I must say it is refreshing to see you so in love with a woman. I must insist we meet her straight away,’
‘Of course, mother, I will arrange an introduction as soon as possible.’
Benedict: How did you convince Kate Sharma to give you a chance?
Daphne: I WANT TICKETS! Simon also wants tickets but he’ll never admit it
‘What do Viscounts do?’ Edwina wondered, ‘I thought the idea had died out years ago.’ The Sharmas were sat in Kate’s living room, all squeezing into a sofa that was too small for the three of them but felt like home.
‘Well, it’s more of a title now than the responsibility it previously had,’ Kate stated, keeping her eyes on the page, ‘Anthony has many investments to preoccupy his time.’
‘Well, clearly level headed, that’s a good sign in a man,’ Mary stated, rubbing her arm.
‘Clearly not too busy to spend time with you,’ Edwina giggled, ‘Do you suppose he will join you on your next tour? It would be nice for you to have some familiar company around to relax you.’
‘Edwina!’ Mary scolded, ‘We can’t ask these things yet, especially since we have not met the man. Kate, I think you should arrange an introduction. I should certainly like to meet the man who has captured you.’
‘Oh,’ she said, looking up, ‘Well I’m not sure if he’s free, very busy, besides I’m still trying to decide what I want from this.’
‘I thought you said you had been seeing him for a couple of months,’ Edwina tilted her head, ‘Surely that is enough time to decide whether you are interested or not.’
‘Yes, well I’ve been busy, I do have an album to write you know.’
@sharmasworld: KLAXON! Her Instagram and twitter bio have both been updated – news coming tomorrow at 10am! Let’s hope for new music
@cressisbest: Coming out with music while her love life is in the press is so desperate – she should quit while she’s ahead.
