Chris had shown me where the spare keys were and gave me a quick hug and a kiss before I took myself to bed for a nap while he went out with Dodger.

I felt awful that I had to have a nap but I felt so wiped out. Yes, I'd slept on the plane but I think the adrenaline that I had had completely worn off and I felt so drained. Hopefully a short nap would help. I quickly sent messages to my Mum and Dad, Charlie and Emma, stripped down to my underwear and got under the covers. I couldn't be arsed to find anything to wear, I just needed sleep.

'Luce, Lucy', Chris says, bringing me out of my slumber.

'Oh hey', I said rubbing my eyes, realising too late that I've probably now rubbed makeup all over my face.

'Feeling better?' he asked sitting next to me.

'Much thanks, how long was I out for?' I asked trying to smooth my hair down knowing it probably resembled a nest.

'About an hour and a half. As peaceful as you looked, I didn't want you sleeping for too long as you wouldn't sleep later.'

'Thanks, did you have a nice run?' I asked sitting up.

'Umm yeah it was good thanks', he said as he rubbed the back of his neck and looked anywhere but at me, he seemed to have become really anxious all of a sudden.

'Chris, what's the matter?' I asked feeling a bit weirded out.

'Um, did you want to get changed?' he asked quickly glancing at me and did I see a cheeky grin on his face then? I soon realised what was going on, as I'd sat up my whole bra was on show flashing him some cleavage too.

'Sorry!', I said pulling the duvet up to my neck going bright red in the process.

'It's fine, just wasn't expecting a show so soon', he said teasingly.

'Oh bugger off you perv!', I said shoving him. He laughed and stood up.

'I'll leave you to get changed, I'm just gonna grab a shower ok?'

'Yeah sure, am I ok to have a wander about? I don't want to be nosey', I quickly added.

'Yeah sure, please treat my house like your house', he said as he made his way out and closed the door behind him.

I stretched my arms above my head and got out of bed. I did feel better. That nap really had worked wonders. Hopefully I would be able to last for the rest of the day now. I checked my phone and it was 4.00pm. I had a few messages but I decided to get changed before I replied to them.

I pulled my case onto the bed and started to unpack into the wardrobe and drawers that Chris had cleared for me. I also changed my underwear and threw on a pair of sports leggings, a sports bra and a slouchy t-shirt that hung off a shoulder. I was quite happy with the progress I'd made, all my clothes had been put away. As I had an en-suite I took my toiletries in there and set them all out. I quickly brushed my teeth, grabbed my phone and headed out of the door and ran straight into Chris wearing nothing but a towel. This was gonna happen a lot over the next 2 weeks wasn't it?!

'Sorry!', I said.

'Oh Luce, have I got you all wet?' he asked quirking an eyebrow and smirking. He had purposefully said that.

'Oh get some clothes on!' I said scurrying past him feeling my cheeks heat up and my heart rate increase. I had a hell of a knot in my stomach right now!

I made my way into the spacious living area where the patio doors were and opened them and stepped into the back garden, Dodger followed me out. There was a nice patio area with some seats so I sat down and took my phone out and pulled up Spotify. I hadn't connected to Chris' wifi but I had my mobile data and pulled up one of my favourite's songs
