I woke up the next morning with a happy grin on my face, last night were amazing, though it also made me miss him more, but only two weeks left, easy for him to say when he would be busy with work, I had nothing to do, all the stuff that needed to be sorted, were sorted already, had nothing more to pack either, only my clothes and the few things I were using every day. I sighed as I laid back down in bed, flicking through the images of Ast on my phone, I texted Kate: “Do you have the papers from the 10th? Forgot to buy them, wanna see if Ast and I are in them”. After 10 minutes she texted back: “We have, there´s a few nice pics of you two in them, shall I cut them out and get over to you with them?” I texted back: “Yes please, see you soon then”. I eventually got myself dragged out of bed putting on my burgundy onesie, cuddling up on the sofa under my blanket, logging on twitter on my phone tweeting: “Missing someone sucks, still 2 weeks to go”. It knocked on the door, I got up and opened, hi Kate I said, letting her in, sitting back down in the sofa. Hey you, what´s up Kate asked sitting down beside me, I´m just in an awful “I miss my boyfriend sooooo badly” mood today I sighed, aww come here hun she said giving me a hug, try and take a look at these she said taking up the pics from the papers, look at this one, Aston with his finger under your chin looking directly in your eyes, and this, him stroking your cheek and the last one of you two kissing, aww they´re lovely I said, yeah I think you should try and write to the papers see if you can get the originals, or at least a copy Kate said, yeah I might do that I smiled. You wanna see something from their concert the day before New Year eve? I asked, yeah sure Kate said, I found my laptop turning it on and putting it on youtube, searching for the bit I wanted to show, here they are talking to the audience, but just watch what Ast does by the end I winked, they started talking about there being SO many girls, with Ast breaking out in “that´s my girl, that´s my giiirl” pointing at me, the cameraman pointing his camera at me making me appear on the big screen, aaaaw he´s too cute Kate grinned, yeah he is I smiled, there haven´t been once in public where he has tried to hide me, we´re always holding hands, kissing and hugging, even while they were in Denmark and we were all new, he didn´t deny being with me. Seems like you both have found your true love Kate smiled, yeah I really think I have. Right I´ve gotta go, work is calling Kate said, you sure you´re gonna be ok? Yeah, I think I am I said, closing the door behind her. I took my phone and took a pic of the pic of Ast holding his finger under my chin and sent it to him, I really loved that pic, there were so much warmth and love in his eyes. I also sent it to his mum, texting, “Ast and me in the airport on the 9th”, I knew she were gonna love it. I browsed around Youtube for a while watching loads of old JLS interviews, tour videos and other stuff. I decided to go on Facebook, I were very rarely on it these days, but it didn´t take long for a chat to pop up, it was my friend who used to work for JLS´ record company in Denmark, he wrote: “Hey what is it I´m reading in the papers, is the biggest fangirl I know together with Aston Merrygold from JLS *wink*, I wrote back: “I am indeed, we´re very much in love, been together for nearly two months now, moving over to him in just two weeks” “well I just have to look at the latest pictures from the airport to see that there´s love in the air, congrats Laura, you take good care over there, I have to go again” he wrote, he were offline before I could write back, so I sent him a message, including my new phone number, would love to keep in touch with him.  I found the video from the concert on youtube again, posting it to Facebook, I loved what the fan that had uploaded it had written in the description: “Aston being all cute towards his new girlfriend aaaw”.  That night I watched JLS' first appearance on Swedish tv, I loved having all those Swedish channels, right before I went to bed I got a text from Ast: “Goodnight beautiful, love you and miss you, first day in Sweden done” “miss and love you too gorgeous, love having you on my tv screen a lot the next week” I texted back, before I got ready for bed. The next day I went over to my parents to sort out everything with the car, so how much did it get valued to I asked my dad, 52000dkk he said, oh wow that’s actually a lot, I gave 80000 1½ years ago I said, we´re transferring the money to your account next week, when we´ve got the paperwork done, you can still use it until you move, we´re not selling ours before that, that sounds good dad. I stayed at theirs for dinner, and we watched the big Swedish talkshow JLS were gonna be on, even though my dad moaned at not understanding a word of all the Swedish, I just grinned at him, wait till JLS comes on, then they´ll talk English and be understandable. JLS were the last ones on, the interview was lovely and offcourse Ast were asked about me, they also performed Hottest girl in the world. That were a very nice interview, you can see it on him that he loves you very much, the sparkle that appears in his eyes when he´s talking about you says everything my mum said, yeah, his eyes were one of the things I fell for I smiled. Right I think I´ll head home now, it´s getting late, bye mum & dad. I got home and headed straight for bed, just as I were drifting off to sleep my phone buzzed, I smiled opening the goodnight text from Ast, he were so sweet. The next few days flew by, loads of JLS on my telly helped a lot, and even though they were madly busy Ast always sent me a goodnight text at around the time I went to bed. They were off to France the next day, which meant no more JLS on my telly, but so much closer to being together with Ast again. Midways through the week, Kate came over, right time to get you ready to get over to your boyfriend she said, shower and clean underwear now, what are you up to I grinned, you just wait and see she smiled. I got in the shower, dried off, got dressed and dried and styled my hair. You ready Kate asked, yeah I am done now I said, ok, let´s go then, where are we going I asked, you are soo impatient Kate grinned, just wait and see. We were soon outside the beauty salon, come on Kate said dragging me in, I´ve booked a few treatments for you. I were soon dressed in only a big fluffy dressing gown, wondering what Kate had booked for me, I laid down on the couch, first up were a facial and threading and tinting of my eyebrows, that was rather nice, I also had my nails done, last up Kate had booked a wax down there, Kate!!!! I said shocked, well you can handle getting a tattoo, then you can handle this too she grinned, you want a full wax or leaving a trimmed stripe the beautician asked, I´ll take the second option I muttered, sending Kate evils, it did hurt a bit, but the result were nice, he´s gonna love it Kate said, yeah probably I grinned getting dressed, Kate paid and we went outside again, now we´re not done yet, oh no I said, you´re not getting anyone to do anything to my hair, only Mike can cut is as I want it I said, nope don´t worry, we need to find you a great outfit, ok that´s more like it I said, but I´m paying myself then, I found a pair of skinny jeans and a nice burgundy jumper, yeah that looks great Kate said, I looked around the shop a bit more, ending up with also getting some teal tights, black shorts and a teal shirt, I went up to pay. So what are we doing now I asked Kate, well I thought about getting some lunch she said, yeah let´s do that, steakhouse? I asked, yep Kate grinned. We were soon sat at a table at the steakhouse, I´m having my usual chicken breast, but with extra potatoes and sauce, I´m hungry I grinned, yeah me too Kate said, while we waited for our food I texted Ast: “Have a nice surprise for you when I get over to you *wink*” I showed Kate what I had written, god you´re bad, you´re probably driving him nuts, she said, I know I am I laughed, there were soon a buzz in my bag, I took up my phone, it was Ast: “Ohh babe you´re such a teaser, can´t wait to see what you have in store for me”. The rest of the week I helped Kate move her stuff over in the apartment. The last night I packed my suitcase, I had sent my boxes with the courier earlier that day, it would take a couple of days before they would arrive in London. Kate and I spent the evening watching movies and chatting, we should probably get to sleep now, we´re up early tomorrow Kate said, yeah my parents are picking us up at 7am. I went to the bathroom, before getting under the duvet on the sofa, tomorrow I were finally seeing Ast again, couldn´t wait!

*Aston´s POV*                                               

I were up early next morning, getting in the shower to wake up properly, once I finished I got dressed, for once I had packed the night before, so didn´t have that to worry about, JB were in for a shock I grinned to myself as I went down in the kitchen to get some breakfast. I got a text from JB that he would be here in 10 minutes, I just grinned, and made sure I was stood outside waiting for him when he came, he finally came, and the look on his face were priceless, he got out of the car, and I said: What took you so long bruv, wow Ast you´re normally always late JB grinned, what gotten into you? I don´t know really, just organised for once I shrugged, guess I can´t wait for these two weeks to pass, was actually torture Skyping with Laura yesterday, made me miss her even more I sighed, cheer up bruv, the time is gonna fly when we´re busy with work JB reassured me, yeah I really hope so, now let´s get going Ast, or else we´ll be late anyways JB grinned, I loaded my suitcase in the trunk and got in the car, so are Chloe picking your car up in the airport later, since she´s not with you now I asked, yeah she is, she had an early dance class today he said. We got to the airport and met up with the others, hey bruvs Marv & Reesh greeted us, what´s up with the sad face Marv asked me, just missing Laura badly today I sighed, aaaw come on man, cheer up Reesh said, she´s coming over forever very soon, I know, it´s just a bit difficult today. Right time to board the flight now Marv said, come on guys, as soon as the flight took off I drifted off to sleep. Hope he cheers up a bit soon, I´ve never seen him like that Marv said to JB, me either, he´s totally head over heels for her, not that it´s a bad thing, I´m actually happy that he´s finally found love, yeah me too Marv said, I think Laura´s good for him Reesh said, absolutely Marv agreed, let´s just let him sleep. I woke up by Marv nudging me, how are you bruv Marv asked, I think I needed that sleep, am better now I said, good, we´re about to land soon and then it´s work time Marv grinned. He were right, we had several radio and magazine interviews during the day, it were a lot more hectic than in Denmark and Germany, but I guess our appearances there had made us more known, it would probably be like this next time in Denmark and Germany too. We ended the day with a tv interview, I knew Laura was watching, I had given her a list with all our tv appearances in Sweden, so she wouldn´t miss it. Great to see you´ve cheered up from this morning, loved how you were beaming when they asked you about Laura, Marv said padding me on the shoulder, yeah I still miss her like hell, but I think I´ll manage, it´s only two weeks I said, exactly and then you´ll see eachother every day Marv said, hey you two, are you up for going out for a drink or two JB & Reesh shouted, yeah sure, just gonna send Laura a goodnight text I smiled, I soon got one back: “miss and love you too gorgeous, love having you on my tv screen a lot the next week” …..Ahh you have that silly grin on your face again Reesh grinned, what´s she written this time, something naughty?, nope Reesh, I think you need to find yourself someone, naughtiness is all that´s on your mind I grinned, making the others laugh, yeah he´s right Reesh JB teased, ahh whatever Reesh grinned. My phone buzzed, it was my mum, wondered what she wanted, just seen this lovely picture of you and Laura from the airport, she sent me it this morning, I looked at the pic, ohh I let out, what is it Marv said, just this pic Laura sent to my mum I smiled, aaw that´s actually a really good pic of you two, JB and Reesh looked too, aaaw you´re such a cute couple JB said, Yeah, just love her so much I smiled. Right think it´s time to head back to the hotel for some sleep, busy day again tomorrow, Marv said, yeah let´s go. When I laid in my hotel bed I just stared at the picture for a while before getting to sleep, she were just so perfect, couldn’t wait for her to move in. The next few days were manic, but I made sure that I sent Laura a goodnight text every night. We were soon off to France, only one week left now, see said time would be flying JB said, yeah it´s really does, I said. France were just as manic as Sweden, looked like we´re were finally getting success outside the UK, though I knew from twitter that we did have fans all over the world, it were an amazing feeling finally getting out to some of them. I still sent Laura a goodnight tweet every night, and one day where we actually had a break I got a text from her, we were sat in the hotel lounge relaxing, I opened it, the others looking curiously over my shoulder, she wrote: “Have a nice surprise for you when I get over to you *wink*”  Oii bruv, that can only be something naughty with that winking smiley Reesh grinned, you´re nuts I grinned, texting her back: Ohh babe you´re such a teaser, can´t wait to see what you have in store for me”. The last few days flew by, and we were soon in the airport for our flight home, are you excited for tomorrow Marv asked, yeah can´t wait to have her in my arms again I beamed.
