I wake up to the smell of Nutella pancakes wafting down the hallway which, to me, is a sign that Reece is awake. I hoist myself out of bed and down the hall to the kitchen.

"Aye, she's awake!" I hear a familiar voice say with a chuckle.

"Reece?" I sleepily ask as I make my way over to the two boys.

"Mmhmm?" He utters slowly, his nose crinkling as he yawns?

"Morning." I laugh, ruffling his blonde hair.

"Morning princess." He moves his head and smiles sweetly at me before pulling out the chair beside him for me to sit down.

Charlie clears his throat loudly; immediately I realise that I forgot to say morning to him.

"Morning Charlie." I lean over and kiss his cheek softly, leaving a smug grin on Charlie's face.

Reece awkwardly shuffles in his seat when I kiss Charlie's cheek for some weird reason however I just try my best to ignore him.

"How long are you staying?" I walk over to the plate of pancakes, sneakily grabbing one before anyone sees.

"Till Thursday, we leave for judges houses on Friday." He says between mouthfuls of pancakes.

Charlie hands me a plate so I join them both at the table.

"Aren't you gonna use a knife and fork Charlie?" I say as he takes a bite into his pancakes which are currently loosing all of the filling.

Reece laughs before handing him one out from the drawer.

Charlie absentmindedly takes the fork but then doesn't use it, resulting in all of the filling in his rolled up pancake to fall out...AGAIN.

Me and Reece exchange funny glances as we wait for Charlie to realise.

"What?" Charlie pouts, looking down at the plate to see dozens of strawberries heaped over one another.

Reece and I sit in floods of laughter after Charlie finally realises what's going on.

"Shut up." He pouts, then gathers up all the strawberries on his plate.

I try to hold my laughter.

Reece lifts up a tablespoon and uses it as a mirror to fix his hair.

"You never stop messing with your hair." Charlie groans.

Reece smirks. "I like to look good ok."

"You're so vain!" I mumble quietly, however Reece hears me and rolls his eyes.

"He is isn't he." Charlie adds, a small smirk playing on his lips.

"I'm not vain....in fact, I'm the opposite of vain." Reece claims. Me and Charlie can't contain our laughter.

"Go on then.." I giggle. "What's the opposite of vain?"

Reece stares at me, the confusion on his face makes me laugh uncontrollably. "Ella..." Reece buries head into my neck to hide his embarrassment. I can feel his hot breath on my neck as he chuckles, I push him away from me jokingly.

"Reece...so what is it then?"

"Un-vain?" He raises an eyebrow, his northern accent is so hot.

"UN-VAIN!!" Charlie mocks, Reece blushes red with embarrassment.

"Okay then, what is it?" He asks.

I pause to think. "Modest?"

Charlie nods.

"Reece, you're an idiot." Charlie jokes.

Reece grabs his water bottle and drinks out of it before replying. "I'm actually quite good at English, y'know."

"Sure!" Charlie says sarcastically, however he's only joking. We've both seen Reece's GCSE results and he actually did really good in English.

Charlie's phone chimes loudly, well loud enough to make me jump. He leaves the room to take the phone call, leaving just me and Reece. However I rush off to the bathroom.

I decide I'll get a shower later, but my main priority is to make sure I don't look like complete crap in front of Reece.

"Ella hurry up! I need to toilet." Charlie knocks on the door.

"Go use another bathroom then!" I spit out the toothpaste and rinse my mouth thoroughly.

Then I wash my face and apply a bit of concealer to my face. Luckily, I'm having a pretty good skin day so I don't have to go full out.

Finally, I unlock the bathroom door and head back into the kitchen, Reece is sat at the dining table on his phone.

"You take ages in the bathroom.." Reece pouts before messing with his hair once again.

"So...?"

"You don't need to....I've never seen someone look so hot the minute they wake up." He grins as I roll my eyes to hide the fact I'm blushing.

"Shut up. You're such a flirt." I smirk, gently shoving him which is my best attempt at being flirty.

"Charlie was asking me about you this morning. He asked whether I liked you." Reece looks away from me and over to his plate of Nutella pancakes which to be honest, make my mouth water.

"And...what did you say?" I walk over to where he's sat and perch on the kitchen counter.

"I said I don't know." He shrugs before grinning at me sheepishly.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I say, as I'm still a bit unsure about what is going on between me and him.

"I don't think it's best for him to know about...us yet." He bites his lip nervously.

Us? So there's an us?!?!?

I blush. "So there's an us now?" I try to be smooth and raise an eyebrow. Reece laughs.

"Like I told you yesterday, I really like you..." Reece nervously utters, his eyes are fixated away from me to avoid awkwardness.

I giggle and brush a bit of his blonde hair away from his eyes. He pouts as I do so. I try to resist him but temptation builds up inside me as I stare at him, al I want to do was kiss him. A small smirk plays on his lips, as if he could read my mind. I try to be flirty and wink but it goes horribly wrong.

Reece chuckles to himself before smiling "You're adorable."

I grin like crazy.

"Oh I know!" I smirk before heaving myself off of the kitchen counter.

He swiftly gets up from his chair, moving towards where I'm stood. Reece presses his body against mine before heaving me back up onto the counter. He smirks before cupping my cheek in his hands. Nervously, he titles his head and pulls me closer to him, planting his lips on mine softly.

I can't believe this is happening. We both smile at eachother as our lips part. Reece leans in again, however this kiss is more passionate. My hands make their way into his hair and his round my waist.

"Ella..." He moans softly, turning me on even more.

"Reece shut up." I whisper as he deepens the kiss.

As our lips part, he moves his head towards my neck and begins sucking on my skin. The sensation is euphoric. He presses his body so close to mine that I can hear his nervous breaths and feel them on my neck. Reece snakes his hands up the back of my top, pulling me in tightly before kissing my lips softly one last time.
