Aubrey loved her school kids, but going on camp with them wasn't exactly something that she had been looking forwards to, it was hard enough for her to get proper sleep with planning and sleeping for class, let alone having to stay up all night so that they would actually go to sleep. She wondered who told kids that staying up late was cool, when sleep was the thing that recharged your body and kept it healthy.

"You'll be fine Aubs." Josh laughed at the dramatics of his girlfriend, she was laying face down on her bed and was kicking her legs as if she was having a tantrum. "Come on, you have to get packed or you won't do it all."

"I know." Aubrey whined as she sat up and moved so that she was leaning against the bed head. "Do you want to help me or are you just going to sit there looking pretty?"

"I can if you want." He confirmed, motioning for her to get off the bed and she did, instead of moving to get a bag out of her cupboard, she jumped into his arms instead, placing a chaste kiss to the base of his neck. "You're not distracting me from this."

"I'm not trying to, it's only three days right?" She asked no one in particular. "There'll be plenty of opportunities for my voters to get dirty though." She added, knowing that even if there wasn't, she'd still overpack regardless.

"It'll also be cold, meaning all of my hoodies will go missing." Josh pointed out, though he spoke as if he was pissed off by the fact, he lived for the snapchat's that he got sent of Aubrey in his clothes. As cheesy as it was it made his stomach excited.

"You love me for it." She shrugged, moving to get the bag and dragging it back so that it lay in the middle of the floor of her room. "How are you going to deal with me being gone?" She moved to get some of her warm clothes out to pack.

"I have Ads, I'll be more then okay." Josh said, Aubrey couldn't always tell whether or not he was joking when it came to how much he liked Adam's company. "Kidding babe, I'll miss you but Ads and I will help each other out while I miss you and he misses Kimmy."

"Sometimes I wonder where I come into this relationship. I have a serious question, are you in love with Adam?" Aubrey asked as she stuffed some of her clothes messily into her bag.

"Only have eyes for you," Josh reassured her, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of her head. "What're you going to wear tomorrow morning when you leave?"

"Leggings and one of your hoodies." Aubrey replied, looking around until she found a boring black hoodie that belonged to Josh and was sitting in her room with her clothes. "Problem solved."

"Let's get on to packing the fun stuff." Josh suggested, moving over to open the draws that stored all of her underwear and bras. "None of the fun stuff."

"Get out of it Dunkley!" Aubrey exclaimed, running over and pushing him away from the draw. "You're the most annoying person I've ever met."

"Just trying to help you out." He threw his hands up in surrender. "Don't get angry at me."

"Just get out, I'll do the rest when you go home for the night." Aubrey laughed and pulled him out of her room. "We should go over and have dinner with Adam."

"Just show up? Should I text him first?"

"Nope, he loves guests, especially us."

"Especially me." Josh corrected.

When the couple walked in, the sound of Adam on facetime greeted them as he spoke loudly to Georgie who was being held up by Kim so that she would focus on her dad.

"I want what they have one day." Aubrey sighed as she looked at Josh with a big smile, thinking about how cute it would be to have a baby. It was true that she loved kids and babies and always had.

"One day." Josh said, throwing his arm over Aubrey's shoulder and pulling her closer as they walked into the kitchen. "Hey Ads."

"Josh? Aubrey?" Adam asked looking up from his phone and smiling at the pair that he wasn't expecting to walk into his house, that's what happens when you give Josh a spare key. "What're you two doing here?"

"We couldn't be bothered cooking so here we are." Aubrey said and though Josh went to say that it was a lie and they just wanted to see Adam, he knew that wasn't true. "Hi Kimmy."

"Here." Adam said and handed Aubrey the phone, she was greeted with the sight of Kim waving at her as Georgie sat on her lap and copied her mum's action.

"Thanks, how are you?" Aubrey questioned.

"Good, missing home though. We want to come back and meet girlfriend Aubrey." Kim laughed referring to the fact that her and Josh were now back together. "Georgie say hi to aunty Aubs."

"Hi." Aubrey cooed at the small voice that came through the speakers, her heart practically melting.

"She's so cute." Aubrey said and waved back at Georgie.

"Thanks, I better let you guys get to eating dinner but when I come home in a few weeks I'll make sure we get to catch up." Kim said.

"Definitely, have a good night. Bye bye Georgie." Aubrey blew a kiss to the little girl who giggled in response. "Text you later Kim." She handed the phone back to Adam who said a few quick goodbyes and then turned to look at both Josh and Aubrey.

"What do you guys want for dinner?" Adam asked not even arguing with the fact that he would be the one cooking for the night.

"Whatever's quickest, I'm about to die of starvation." Aubrey said and Adam nodded.

"I'll do my best."
