Texting Charlie back whilst I'm 'at work' definitely wasn't the best idea as I never do when I'm ACTUALLY at work. I think I saved myself though; I told him the kids had finally left me alone.
That's one thing I hate about surprises. Lying to Charlie, hiding stuff from him. It makes me feel like such a bad person but I love how he reacts when he finds out what it is I've been hiding.
I booked the holiday and we leave in 10 days but im going to tell Charlie about it after our housewarming party on Friday, which gives me a week to think about HOW I'm going to tell him. My plan so far is quite simple but I think that it's the best way to do it.

4pm comes along quickly and in no time Nick is outside, waiting for me.
"Hello handsome," he greets me as I plop myself on the passenger seat, "How was your day?"
"Boring, as per usual." I groan. He laughs, then starts the car and pulls away from the car park. My phone connects to his car and I put on our playlist. We sing along to the really good songs and make small talk over the rest. I love moments like these.

After singing and talking the whole way back, we finally arrived home. It normally takes around 20 minutes to go from Charlies work to our house but for some reason the traffic was really bad so we ended up getting back just before 5pm. As soon as we got back, Charlie went straight to our room and flopped on the bed. I poke my head around the door.
"Want me to make you something to eat?"
He perks his head up, " I think I'm going to have a nap first."
Charlie doesn't normally like napping but a lot has been going on recently and I think it's actually worn him out. I launch myself onto my side of the bed then Charlie rests his head on my chest and falls asleep whilst I play with his hair.

I wake up after about an hour to find Nick has fallen asleep too. He always looks so peaceful when he sleeps. It doesn't take him too long to wake up after I move my head to look at him, it's like he can sense what I'm doing.
"All recharged now?" He asks, his voice deep and tired. "Want something to eat?"
"Yes please," a giant smile creeps across my face. He climbs out of bed and makes his way downstairs to the kitchen. Before following him, I grab my phone and scroll through instagram for a few minutes.

It takes Charlie a few minutes to join me in the kitchen. He walks over to the empty space next to me and peers into the saucepan to see what I'm making. At the same time, I slide my hand around his waist and gently kiss his forehead.
