Since We Were Kids (Thomas Brodie-Sangster)

Chapter Seventeen

A/N - Hey guys and welcome to Chapter Seventeen. Picture of their hotel room ^^^^^

——- Hannah's P.O.V ——-

I haven't got the slightest clue where Thomas is actually taking me. I have a feeling that it is somewhere warm because Thomas hates going on holiday somewhere cold when it has been cold back home too. I have always wanted to go someplace like Lapland around Christmas time, disappear in a log cabin for a couple of weeks with Thomas and curl up in front of a fire whilst opening presents. Don't get me wrong though I do enjoy going to warm places, I like just chilling on the beach and going in the sea, splash wars in the sea are fun too.

I went on holiday with Thomas and his family when we were around 15; Thomas and I were sharing a sunbed. Thomas was sat behind me whilst I sat in between his legs, we actually fell asleep like that so somewhere his mum has a picture of Thomas and I asleep on holiday, on a sunbed. I will bet money on the fact that she will make that picture appear somewhere if Thomas and I get married. As annoying as that would be I think it would be pretty cool to have something like a slide show projected onto a screen at the reception to remember times throughout our childhood and times after we actually started dating.

I feel Thomas shaking me and I open my eyes "Hey Darling" he says and I smile "Are you going to tell me where you're taking me now?" I ask and he smirks. He helps me to sit up and points towards the window "Welcome to Dubai" he says and my mouth drops open "You randomly decided to take me to Dubai?" I ask and he nods. We both sit back down onto the sofa and Thomas puts his arm around my shoulder "Why?" I ask and he chuckles "Because we both needed some time away from everything. I know we can hole up at home but people can always find us there. I figured that we could have a vacation whilst we're not working" he says and I kiss his cheek.

The air hostess walks out of the back of the plane "Hi guys. We are landing in a couple of minutes. If you don't mind could you put your seatbelts on?" she asks and both Thomas and I nod "Sure" I say and we both buckle up. She goes back to her previous seat "How did you get Josh to let us borrow this?" I ask gesturing to the jet "Well I told him that I wanted to surprise you and that's why I couldn't use a mainstream airline. He offered for us to borrow this jet whilst we're away" he says and I smile "How long are we going to be away?" I ask and he chuckles "How many questions are you going to ask?" he asks and I shrug "You kept this from me so I am curious" I say.

Thomas reaches across to my hand and intertwines our fingers "We are away for 2 weeks" he says just as the plane starts to descend. The plane lands quite smoothly, definitely better than some other flights I have been on. I was on a flight once when I was younger and it was a massive family holiday that I was going on along with Thomas' family, every year we would go on a big holiday with each other. The flight was horrible, there was loads of turbulence and we had to fly through a thunder storm and I am deathly afraid of thunder storms so that flight was hell.

Thomas and I get off the plane and the co-pilot hands us our bags "Thanks Shaun" Thomas says taking the suitcases and we both walk to the airport. Thomas wraps his arm around my waist as we walk through the airport to the arrivals gate. I notice someone holding a sign that says 'Londoner Actor'. Now only one person ever called Thomas that, my older brother and Thomas' other best friend Alexander. I haven't seen Alex since he was 16 and I was 14, he moved out to Dubai because he wanted a change of scenery and as far as I know he is a highly recommended photographer.

We get closer to the person with the sign but I cant actually see who it is because they're wearing a cap and sunglasses but they have a smirk on their face "Hang on" I say and Thomas turns to me with a similar smirk on his face "You called Alex didn't you" I say and he continues to smirk "You never know who I can contact Darling" he says and I roll my eyes. We make our way over to the sign holding person and as soon as we reach them they take their sunglasses and cap off.

When I actually realise that it is my brother I drop my bags and pull him into a hug. He starts laughing as do I "Hey lil' sis" he says before bro-hugging Thomas "Hey Al. Thanks for picking us up" Thomas says and Alex smiles "No worries Tommo. Anything for my bro" he says and Thomas chuckles "Could be bro-in-law soon. You never know" I say and Thomas puts his arm around my shoulder "As awesome as that would be I hate the idea of you getting married soon" Alex says and I giggle "Hate to break it to you Al but I am going to get married at some point" I say and he sighs "Can't I just hold onto the memories of when you said that I was the only guy in your life" he says and Thomas gasps "What is this I am hearing?" he asks and I kiss him quickly "I love you too" I say and my brother starts gagging causing all of us to laugh.

I have missed my brother so much. He decided to not contact any of us after he moved to Dubai, I am not sure why but it hurt not being able to call him when I needed him. I guess he stayed in contact with Thomas though.

It feels good to know him again.
