Cher awoke and the man who fell asleep besides her was no longer there, she began to stir from her sleep and open her eyelids lightly to be hit with the early rays of the sun, she turned her head slightly where she expected Rob to be but he wasn't there, and she let her head fall back on the pillow.
She heard the bathroom door open which connected with the bathroom and her eyes opened and met with the familiar figure, he was wearing a white crew neck top and his favourite worn out jeans.
"Well Good Morning" He smirked and laughed lightly seeing her Bury her face in any of the blankets she could find.
"Why are you awake?" she murmured.
Well." He said sitting at the end of the bed. "I have a shop to open." and slid his shoes on
"At this time?" she whispered.
"Yes, we open at 6 but I'm just preparing it for when Jo arrives, and then we can have breakfast and I can take you home if you want?" He said finishing tieing his laces
"Okay... Do you need help with anything?"
"Nah I've done this a trillion times would you believe."
She smiled at him gently with her eye lids falling closed. "You can use anything you want, and help yourself to my closet if you want to wear something other than your dress." He said placing a kiss on her cheek.
"Thank you." she sighed and her eyes fell closed.
It was 5:33 when Cher looked at the clock on the bedside table. She decided to get up and head for his closet, she pulled out some of his sweat pants and stepped into them and tying them as tight as she could before folding the hem over to help the fit.
When Cher made her way downstairs she made her way to the back room of the shop.
"Rob?"
"Yeah." He said instantly and walked to meet her.
"That suits you!" He laughed seeing how large the clothes were on her.
"Hm, I know that's a joke, but I know it secretly does." she laughed
"No joke." He said raising his arms to surrender.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." she said waving her hand to dismiss the subject "I came down to help you, so what do you want me to do?"
"You don't need to do anything, I'm almost done, I just need to put that stuff out and clean up the back." He said sliding his arms around her waist.
"Well, I'll put that out and you can clean up." she smiled and kissed his lips.
"Deal." He said giving her one last squeeze before moving his arms from her.

"K, you ready to go?"
"Yess." Cher called from the bathroom.
Cher left the bathroom and gave a quick glance out of the window.
"No ones there I checked." Rob said catching her glances.
"Sorry, I just-"
"I know, come on."
As Cher waited for Rob to unlock his car she caught a glance of someone move behind a fence, noticing the camera slightly from the distance.
"It's unlocked." Rob pointed out not noticing the same thing she had.
She slid into the car trying to dart from the view of what she assumed was paparazzi. Not bothering to tell Rob about what she thought she put her seat belt on.
