I woke up before Payton today,but he was so peaceful and cute in his sleep,I didn't want to disturb him.Getting up I head straight to the bathroom,looking for a nice hot shower.Thats all I want.
Once I'm out I complete my skincare routine,do my hair and get dressed into a casual outfit of sweatpants and a cropped t-shirt.
New Years Eve is tomorrow so Payton and I have today to do a date day.Which I'm very excited for,who knows what 2021 has put out for us.I hope it's more time together.I really do.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" I hear a grumble from the bed
"You looked so cute you needed to sleep" I laugh walking over to give him a quick peck on the cheek.
"You ready for our day out in New York?" He asks
"Yep" I answer popping the 'p'
"Good,I'll get ready then we can leave to go eat breakfast"
With a content smile I leave the room to find mom sipping on some coffee in the kitchen,I decide to join her,brewing myself a green tea.
"I don't know why you insist on drinking that" she mutters
"I'm a model,it keeps you skinny" I joke
"You're already skinny"
"Yeah" I nod
"So what are your resolutions for next year?"
"Get to the next stage with Payt.I don't know why,but it's been bugging me.The fact that we're stuck at this same point,maybe that's why we broke up,we weren't ready for the full on long distance commitment and we had different goals in life.But now I just want something permanent,regardless of our goals."
"Oh Abigail" she sighs tucking the loose strands of hair behind my ear,"I know how your feeling,but talk to him about it.Your dad and I went through something similar."
"You did ?" I ask
She nods taking my hand and leading me into the livingroom where we snuggle up together under the blanket.
"When we were about 20,21 we were still in early days.I was in college and your dad was out in the working world.No one had any faith in us ,that we could get through life.And at one point,neither did he."
I liked hearing stories from when mom and dad were younger,I how one day I can tell my kids the story about how I ended up with Payt.
"Your dad had reached a point where he was so engrossed in the working world,that he wasnt sure we'd last.We were at different points in life.So," she pauses "when he realised,he sat me down and spoke to me about it."
"How did you react?"
"I was distraught,I remember that night breaking down and praying that God gave us another chance,that something would put us on the same pathway.And then" she smiles sweetly at me,"I was blessed with my baby girl"
"Really?" I ask tears filling my eyes
"Yes,now I'm not saying breakdown,but believe.You and Payton are meant to be,so either way the world will put you on the same path,just be patient"

"Take me an instagram picture!"I tell Payton as I walk the streets of New York.
"How about I take one with you!" He laughs running over to stand besides me taking a selfie as he kisses my cheek,"I can't wait to go public with you again"
"Me neither" I smile kissing him.
"Hey,Abi..could you give me 10 maybe 15 minutes alone.I want to do some..browsing".
I raise an eyebrow at Payton,he looked flustered.One thing about him is that he's not too good at hiding things.
"Why what are you doing?" I ask him, playfully pointing at him
"Nothing!nothing," he exclaims,"I just...need time alone"
"Okay,uhm..I guess I'll find a café and call the girls."
"Okay,keep your location on so I can find you.Stay safe" he kisses my head before walking off.
I find a small,quaint cafe on the corner of the road.It's warm and cosy with only a couple of customers.I order a hot chocolate and take my seat in the corner setting up my phone to facetime the girls.
Stella 😜 calling........on another line
Lara 💋 calling......on another line
Frowning at the screen I try again,why would they both be on another line.Were they ignoring me?Did I do something?
Instantly I enter a panicked state spamming out groupchat with messages,first Payton and now them. What are they all doing ?
A/n: hehe the next chapter is.....hm...interesting I hope you enjoyed this one,I'll aim to have the next one our by Sunday if not next week.Love you all and thanks for 16k ♡♡
