It was now Friday; Ali and Kit had spent the whole week FaceTiming and texting each other, they both missed each other so much and couldn't wait for the weekend to come. Kit was travelling back from set tonight which Ali didn't know, she had training with Pulse until 9 so Kit decided he would surprise her and hopefully get to catch the last bit of her training. Will was also heading back home this weekend but decided to just let Kit go surprise her on his own, Ali had been gushing over Kit all week to Will and he knew how excited she would be to see him.

They jumped on the train together at 6:30 right after the day had wrapped and headed back towards London City Centre, Kit felt nervous he didn't really know why it was not like Ali had told him not to surprise her, but he didn't know how she would react.

'Will, do you think Ali will want me to surprise her?' Kit questioned as the train flew along the tracks

'Of course, she will, that girl is literally besotted by you, she'll probably cry!' Will exclaimed 'Okay maybe she won't cry because Ali rarely cries but she'd going to be made up, she hasn't stopped talking about you all week, kinda annoying really'

'I hope she is excited' Kits nervousness still apparent in his voice 'I think I'm gonna get her some flowers, what ones are her favourite?'

'Erm, she loves those big daisies they have a weird name that I can't spell, one sec I'll find a picture' Will typed into google and showed Kit what he was on about

'Okay, I'll get her a bunch of those' Kit smiled sweetly and stared out the window, they were only about 15 minutes from the station now and he felt a mix of nervousness and excitement to finally see Ali again, it had only been a week, but he felt like he was missing something the whole time they were apart.

Will and Kit got off the train and both headed towards the exit, Will was going to catch the tube home so they hugged and said goodbye, 'she'll love it Kit, I know my best friend she'll be made up' Will said as they parted, giving Kit a reassuring smile tapping his shoulder.

Kit headed straight for the nearest florist that he had found on google maps and thankfully they were still open; he picked out a huge bunch of 'big daisies' as Will called them, paid, and walked straight to Pulse's training centre. It was now 8 o'clock and Kit hoped he wasn't too early, he didn't want to distract her, so he asked the guy at reception if there was some kind of viewing gallery where she was unlikely to notice him. The receptionist led him up a flight of stairs and into the private viewing gallery that had two-way glass so he could still see out, but she wouldn't be able to see in. 

Kits heart raced as he caught a glimpse of Ali on the court, she looked so beautiful, he thought, even if she was sweating Kit loved it when she looked like this, two braids in her hair with her donning her London Pulse training dress, he was so besotted by her his chest felt tight just being this close to her. He continued watching until about 8:45, he was starting to get to grips with netball and knew that Ali had been doing really well in training tonight so hopefully she wouldn't mind his watching. As soon as he saw the training match was starting to wrap up, he headed back downstairs and headed straight for the double doors that led into the hall. He stopped as he reached the doors, taking one last deep breath in and making sure the flowers looked okay, he opened the door quietly and popped his head in.
