London with George

The flight was a nightmare as always but I was so ready to see George. The partying from the night before wasn't helping at all but I was excited for George and happy to have been out with Daniel and Max. And yes I really felt it a whole day after it still.
He said he would pick me up at Heathrow and we'd then drive to a hotel he picked.
I walked through London Heathrow like a confused mess.
I'm waiting at the exit. Blue cap and sunnies.- George 🤍
I read George's text and tried to find the exit. I must admit the hangover was turning out to be a real pain in my ass. As I followed the signs to the exit I finally spotted George in his blue Tommy Hilfiger cap. I ran into his arms and I felt him hug me tightly.  "I missed you.", he whispered into my ear still embracing me. "I missed you", I said.  "I'm surprised that you look this fit today. After the pictures I saw of you in your night out with Daniel and Max.", George laughed. "Oh please don't talk about it. I kinda still feel sick.", I was a bit embarrassed. "Oh come on. Let's get to the hotel  and then you can lay down to make this hangover go away.", he seemed ok with me going out with those two.
We walked to his very shiny Mercedes. "Very subtle Russell.", I scoffed. I mean it was a pretty car but boy was he showing off. "Gotta impress the missus.", he joked. "Oh sod off", I laughed. We drove to a very nice looking hotel and George even let me control the music so I was going great for all accounts. It must be a very fancy hotel as someone at the entrance got out bags for us und a valet parked the car. George checked us in and up we went to our room. I don't even want to think about how much this must've cost George. "You know I said I don't need fancy hotels. This must've cost a fortune.", I let him know in the elevator. "I know but I wanted this for us. We deserve it - you deserve it. ", he smiled down at me. "Thank you.",
I whispered and then the elevator opened up. George took my hand in his and hand in hand we went to our room for the next 3 days.

"I'm guessing you wanna take a nap by the look on your face.", George said as I sat down on one of the chairs. I could see in his eyes that he actually wanted to do something but he was right. I really felt like taking a short nap. "I'd love a nap but only if you join me.", I said as he walked over to me. I smiled up at him as he pulled me up from the chair. "I'd love that.", he smiled his gorgeous smile that made me feel all warm inside.  We stepped over to the big bed in the middle of the room. I took off my shoes and sweater and got under the covers. George joined me quickly and pulled me into his arms. "I missed you", he whispered as he held me close. "I missed you too. Why can't you just live closer? ", I complained like a child. George chuckled and rubbed my arms. "So you have something to complain about."
I feel asleep quite quickly and felt like was reborn after I woke up again. George was still holding me in his arm with my head on his chest. It didn't look like he slept. He kept typing on his phone with one hand and didn't initially notice that I was awake again. "Hey.", I whispered. "Good afternoon sleepyhead. You look a lot more relaxed now.", he said put his phone down and brushed my hair out of my face. "I feel a lot better and ready for whatever you planned for us.", I smiled up at him. "What make you think I have something planned?", he asked with a mischievous smile. "The annoyed look I saw for a second when I expressed the need to take a nap." I answered in a posh manner. I sometimes did this to take the mick out of George. Alex, Lando and I agree that he is way too posh. I rolled off of him or at least I tried to. "George I thought we have plans?", I moaned when he held me back. "Yes but firstly", he pulled me close and gave me a long meaningful kiss. "I was waiting to do this for day.", he smiled and pecked my lips again. "I missed this too.".

After five more minutes of cuddling and kissing we finally got out of bed. I still had no idea what George had planned. "Will you at least tell me what to wear?", I complained. "Just something casual." He replied while typing on his phone. "You are not really helping here. I went through my suitcase trying to find the right outfit George came over and picked something. He chose a pair of pants and a simple sweater. "There you go princess Lin.", he bowed to me and chuckled. "Idiot.", I chuckled and went to get changed. "Your idiot", he called after me.
We stepped out of the hotel and to my surprise didn't get into George's Mercedes. "Do you remember what you told me a few years back about London?", George asked. "That I would like to get on the London eye and kiss the person I love at the top.",I beamed up at him. "Our drivers gonna be here in a sec and we will do just that.", he seemed proud with himself. The excitement was building up in me. I suppose that to a lot of people this was so generic but to me - a non-native to England- this was a big deal. "Thank you for remembering." "How could I ever forget? But there's a surprise waiting there for you"

The driver took us to the London eye. George and I did not wann risk exposing our relationship so when we stepped out of the car we didn't touch as long as the public could see us. George went to talk with some people operating the London eye. "Darling?", he called me. That's bew I thought to myself but enjoyed the new nickname. "Yes, love.", I stepped next to him. "Close your eyes and I will lead you.", I did as I was told and George led me somewhere.

"Open your eyes.", he whispered in my ear and I did so. After three blinks I saw what was there I front of me. "Wow", was all I could say.  "Do you like it?", he asked and rubbed up and down my arms "I love it. Thank you.", I turned around and kissed him. He booked a car for us. It was full of nice decor and had a dining table in it. It looked absolutely beautiful and was exactly like I imagined it. "I know the snowfall is missing but March is not really the moth for snow in Lodon.", he explained. "George it's perfect.", I grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze. We went to sit down and George being the gentleman he is pulled out my chair for me. He organised for us to get different courses served. We would have 2,5 hours in the car and my excitement was immense. The waiter brought out first course before we started going round. It was a soup of some sorts and champagne. He served us and then left the car quickly as it started moving. "Cheers.", George held up his glass. "Thank you for this. I love it and I love you."
