Only Temporary

Rude Awakening

2 months later
Angie POV

I'm woken by a soft knocking on the door, when I check my phone it's 4am a whole 2 hours before I need to get up. Putting my phone down, I carefully remove Drews arm from its vice like grip of my waist and pad over to the door.

Looking though the peep hole I see Stephen, he's dressed and ready to go.

"This better be important" I whisper as I open the door

"Sorry to wake ya lass I was hoping you would tidy up me beard before work?" He whispers back

"Sure come on in but be quiet" I say "you do not want to wake the beast.....wait a minute why do you......oh my god"

"Shhh like you said you don't want to wake the beast" he says placing a finger over my mouth "and yes I decided to take your advice"

"Right get your ass in that chair and lets get you ready" I smile

Once I'm done with his beard making sure it's just right and he looks good, I turn my attention to his hair.

"Ok let's do a little trim and a small amount of hair gel" I suggest

"I was thinking about spike it up like I usually do" he says

"Absolutley not, it's Stephen asking her out not Sheamus" I say "there all done"

"Thanks" he says looking in the mirror "I appreciate it"

I turn my attention to cleaning up the hair on the floor, I look up just in time to see Stephen pick up the pillow from my side of the bed and hold it up in the air.

"Stephen don't you dare" I hiss

"Wakey wakey rise and shine" he shouts just before smacking Drew in the face with the pillow

"What the hell.....you little shite" Drew shouts sitting up and throwing the pillow back at Stephen hitting him in the gut causing him to fall on the floor in a fit of laughter, then turning his attention to me

"Why is this asshole in our room at this god forsaken hour?" He asks

"He needed a beard trim" I say fighting my own fit of laughter

"And you couldn't have waited til we were at work?" He asks looking at Stephen who can't speak due to laughing

"I think you better go" I laugh as Stephen stands up

"Yeah thanks again" he says kissing my cheek

"You're welcome" I smile "and good luck"

Once he leaves Drew flops back down on the bed with a huff and I can't help but giggle. Sitting down on the bed beside him after picking up my pillow I move the hair out of his face.

"Why don't you go back to sleep" I say kissing his forehead "you can get at least another hour"

"Nah I'm awake now thanks to him" he says "next time you cut his hair make sure you shave the word asshole across the back of his head"

"Wow you are really not a morning person" I laugh

"No I'm just not a big fan of being woken up by a pillow to the face" he sighs

Later that day

Sitting in catering nursing my bottle of water I am waiting for the cue that it is safe to return to the make up room.
I had agreed to let Stephen use the room to talk to Esmee so that they had some privacy.

Looking up I see Emsee enter catering and flash me a big smile but there is no sign of Stephen, getting up I rush to the make up room to check on him.
When I find him he is sat in a chair eyes wide and mouth open.

"You ok?" I ask but get no response "Stephen what happened did she say no?" I ask and he shakes his head

"She said yes?" I ask and he nods "that's brilliant im so happy for you"

"I...I have a problem" he says finally finding his voice "my plan never went passed asking her out, I was convinced she was going to say no, what do I do?"

"Well you need to go find Drew, apologize for this morning and ask his advice" I say "don't tell him I said this but he is really good at dates"

"Yeah I'll do that now" he says standing and pulling me into a hug "thanks again angie, I love ya"

"I love you too" I say hugging him back "and when she sees the you I know she's going to love you too"

I watching Stephen leave chuckling to myself becuase I know full well Drew is going to make him suffer before accepting his apology. I did warn him not to wake the beast but he didn't listen.
