"It's all about you,
It's all about you baby,
It's all about you,
It's all about youuuu,
Yesterday you asked me something I thought you knew,
So I told you with a smile,
'It's all about you'"

The sound of a soft guitar playing wakes me up and I rub my eyes in an attempt to clear my vision. I sit up to find him playing McFly's 'All About You', another of my favourite songs. He sings the lyrics, word perfect, and when the song is finished, looks up at me with devilish eyes and a smile that could melt ice. "Did I do good?" I can't help but just grin and nod out of control.

He climbs up from his little music stool, leans his guitar against a chest if draws, and climbs over various scripts and boxes to finally slip into bed next me. His hands trace the outline of my face and I hum in appreciation. I hold his hand on my face and we gaze into each others eyes for what feels like eternity. Everything is perfect...

Until a mobile starts vibrating somewhere. We just look at each other as our hands drop down onto the bad sheets and we now clearly see the mess around the bed we are lay in. The shirts and skirts that are thrown across the floor, the shoes and socks dumped at the door. We search for nearly ten minutes in this heap,looking for a tiny smartphone that won't stop vibrating. When it's finally found, Tom answers it and tries to step over the mounds of clothes in an attempt to find some confidentiality. Being an actor, means he'll get sent 'top secret' scripts that must not be seen by anyone other than him and the film makers. Pressure right?

After twenty minutes of laughter and a lot of intense 'hum's and 'yes's, Tom comes bounding in, almost tripping over everything in sight. He leaps onto the bed and kisses me passionately. When he breaks away all I can manage is "Erm, thanks?"

He grins and spreads his arms open. "You my dear, are very welcome!" He bends over into a bow and then straightens his back elegantly. I just stare at him, confused and scared as to what had just happened.

"Have I missed something?"

"Only the best bloody film offer I've had ever!"

His eyes widen and glisten with excitment. "What is it?" I shout, practically screaming.

"A new role of mine. Very top secret! Anyway, enough about my glorious work. I've got a free day today, what do you fancie doing?" He grins like a puppy and his eyes sparkle. I stare for a while, thinking.

"I've got it."

"Name it my love and it is done!"

I smile and grab the lapels on his jacket. "We need to go shopping!"
