"Are you sure, love? I don't want to leave you here on your own-"
"I'm sure, babe. You need time with your friends," She assured him after they had arrived back to their hotel room, Simon unbuckling the straps to her heels, impressed that she wore them the entire night. "I'll be fine. I'll make some popcorn and watch a movie until I fall asleep."
"What if you need me? What if you fall or-"
She cut him off by reaching up to cup his cheek, knowing he was unsure about meeting Soap, Gaz, and Price at the pub for a last get-together before going their separate ways again. "I'll be fine, Simon. I won't fall or put myself into danger the entire three hours you'll be gone." She teased.
"Are you sure?"
"Babe, I'm not a delicate wilting flower. I'll be fine. I'll be asleep by the time you get back. Unless you give me a reason to coincidentally decide to meet you at the pub if you have a lady friend waiting on you." She arched her brow playfully.
"You know that's not true, love," He huffed, hating how the first thought that came to her mind was that he was lying to meet with another woman. "They invited me for some drinks before we fly home tomorrow."
"I know, Simon. Alice told me before we left the ball," She giggled. "Have a good time with your friends. You need it."
"I don't know about needing it, but I do enjoy spending time with them." He admitted.
She hummed, "And to think you always had a cold heart."
"It's cold, but I do have one," He chuckled, watching her twirl her hair into a loose bun after changing out of her dress, finding himself approaching her from behind, pressing a kiss behind her ear before she rested her head on his shoulder before turning around to face him, her arms around his neck while his hands made their way to her waist. "You always make it so hard to say goodbye to you."
"I don't mean to," She giggled, placing a tender kiss to his chin - a small gesture and act of love that he cherished within his being. "You won't be too far away and I won't be going anywhere."
"I hope not," He shook his head, placing a kiss to her forehead while he reached for his jacket. "I love you."
"I love you too."
"I'll call you when I'm on my way back."
"I might be asleep, but I'll keep my ears open."
"I won't be out long."
"Stay out as long as you need, Simon."
He flashed a weak smile, truly not wanting to leave her behind, feeling selfish for accepting the invitation of a final get-together without her, but he tried to understand as he'd want the same for her - to spend time with her friends without feeling like he was suffocating her with his presence. He knew he could be suffocating and didn't know how Kiera was so embracive of his behavior.
