Professor ellis (X reader)

19.

A while back you passed a sign post that said 'croeso I cymru' which means welcome to wales.
"Right Lauren where am i driving to now since you're the one who planned this day out" Kevin says looking at Lauren in the mirror.
She puts an address into the gps.
"Follow this" she says
"So you aren't going to tell us where we're going" Aimee asks
"Nope" Lauren replies smiling at Tom
You nudge him.
"Do you know where we're going?"
Tom shakes his head.
"No idea"
Everyone starts discussing where Lauren could be taking you all.
"Listen you'll find out when we get there"

After 20 minutes you arrive at the destination
Tom chuckles when he notices where you're all at.
"I thought she might bring us here"
"A castle really?" Lesley says
Lauren rolls her eyes
"Hey listen there isn't much to do here other than watch rugby in the stadium that's not even open or go shopping or clubbing"
"I'm hungry" Rachel says.
"I'm sure they do snacks inside but after we go around here we'll go for some food..anyway let's go" Lauren replies.
All of you get out of the van.
Tom puts his hand out for you to hold it.
You hesitate.
"What if someone from the uni is here and they see us holding hands?" You ask
"Darling I doubt anyone from there would be here" he replies
"Yeah bu-"
Tom cuts you off by giving you a kiss.
"Stop worrying" he says
"Okay" you give him a small smile before taking his hand.
"Get a room you guys" Aimee says walking from behind you two.
"Don't give them ideas" Racheal says
You and Tom look at her and giggle
You eventually make it to where you have to pay to go around the castle.
Lauren shows something on her phone to the worker and he nods while getting out wristbands.
Lauren then passes a wristband around to everyone.
You spend an hour going around the castle
Taking pictures and leaning about things before people were getting hungry.
"So we all agree we're all hungry" Tom ask
"Yes" you Racheal Kevin db Aimee lesley and Lauren say.
"Right I know a good place we can go and get food from"
"Lead the way sir" you whisper to Tom.
Lauren looks at you putting her hand over her mouth while smiling.
Tom clenches his jaw.
"What's wrong?" You ask
"Nothing" Tom says quickly
You knew exactly what was wrong.
Tom leads you all to a pub in the middle of the town not too far from the stadium.
Surprisingly it wasn't busy.
Lauren links your arm.
"Right me and y/n will get a table while you lot order your stuff"
When you were going around the castle you spent more time around Lauren than you did with Tom which gave you guys time to bond so now you were practically besties.
You and Lauren sit down in a booth.
"You should come to LA one of the times"
You nod.
"I agree, I'll ask Tom if we can go together one of the times and we can visit you"
"If you ask him it will take a year for him to actually get here, he puts his job before having breaks"
"I've noticed" you reply
"You should come without him..it would be nice to spend time with you alone and I could show you around La and we can have girly nights"
"I'd love that" you smile
"When's your next break?" Lauren asks
"I think it's in March"
"Three months away?..that's cool i don't think I'm busy then"
"Are you actually serious?" You ask
Lauren nods her head
"100%, you've got my number so text me the dates when you know it and I'll meet you at the airport and you can come stay with me for the days you're in La"
"I will" you nod
"Thank you" you add
"No problem" Lauren smiles
The rest come back with drinks.
"So what are you ladies talking about?" Tom asks.
"Oh nothing" you reply
He looks at Lauren expecting an answer from her but she just says the same.
"Right okay then" Tom says chuckling
"Scoot up girl" lesley says to you while sitting next to you.
You scoot up so you're next to the wall of the booth with lesley Racheal and Kevin next to you.
Opiate you was lauren Tom Aimee and db.
A waitress comes over with the menus.
"Give me a shout when you're ready to order" she says.
You scan the menu unsure what you want.
"What you having" Lauren nudges you under the table.
You look at her.
"I honestly have no idea"
"Same" she replies.
You let out a little laugh.
Eventually you chose what you want and Kevin goes up to the bar to order the food since the waitress didn't come back.
Racheal ordered more drinks.
"Does anyone want a pudding" Kevin asks
Aimee Lesley and Lauren say that they do but the rest including you say no.
"Y/n you need to try some of this" Lauren says pointing at her cheese cake.
You shake your head.
"I'm stuffed" you reply
"Just a small bit"
You shake your head.
Lauren looks at Tom.
"Muffin tell her to try some"
Tom gives you what looks like puppy eyes
Don't do this to me
"Please darling try some of loz's cheesecake"
"Tommm" you groan.
"Please" he flutters his eyes.
"Fuck sake" you say in a joking tone.
Lauren laughs and gives you a spoon full of her cheese cake and you eat it.
"What do you think?" She asks
You lick your lips before swallowing.
"Mhm" you nod
"That's pretty good" you smile at her.
That was really good
You get up from your seat not bothering to ask lesley to move you crawl under the table.
Tom looks at you oddly so does the ones who's sitting next to you.
"Where are you going" Aimee asks
"To order one of them cheesecakes" you reply
"I thought you was full" Kevin says
"I am but I'll ask them to put it in a box or something"
You walk off to the bar to order the cheesecake.
"You and y/n seem to be getting on well" Tom says to Lauren.
She nods taking a spoonful of cheesecake.
"I like her..just please don't do anything stupid to ruin things" Lauren replies
"Why would i ruin things?" Tom asks
Lauren shrugs.
"You did it before to the one I liked" she looks directly at Tom.
"Ouchhh" Kevin says looking at both Tom and Lauren.
Tom puts his middle finger up to Kevin.
"Lauren I was younger then..I'm not like that anymore" Tom says to Lauren.
"You best,just because you're my best friend don't mean I won't beat your ass if you do..she's a good girl and doesn't deserve getting messed about" Lauren says half serious and half joking.
"I know"

"Right before we go back do any of us want to go into some shops?" Db asks
"There's a small shop I want to go in" Tom says.
Db nods.
"Lead the way"
Tom leads you all to a little welsh gift shop that sold random bits and bobs.
All of you wondered about in the shop looking at different things.
Lauren buys a few things so do the rest.
You got some traditional welsh sweets.
You come out of the shop and Lauren gives you a sheep plush.
You giggle.
"What's this for?" You ask
"It's for you..a gift you can remember me of
See it has an L for Lauren on it" she looks at you smugly.
You smile.
"Thank you Lauren"
"You're welcome" she Replies
"Come here" you say giving her a hug.
