started as a lie

35

the next day we woke up to simba running and jumping on the bed.

"morning buddy" i said as i scratched his head.

"morning baby" i said to leah and kissed her lips.

"morning my love" she said back.

we got up and got ready. we're going back home today so we need to pack everything.

we went down for breakfast and fed simba.

"morning darlings" amanda said as she walked in.

"morning mum" leah said. amanda kissed the top of her head and made herself some breakfast.

after eating we went to pack all our things.

i folded all my clothes neatly and put them away in my suitcase. leah did the same but somehow not everything fit.

"i don't get why things don't fit. i've got the same amount of stuff as when i came" she complained.

"it's cause your not folding properly" i said. i took some things out and refolded them, then i put everything back in and it all fit.

"see" i said. leah stood there with a smirk.

"what?" i said confused.

"oh i see. you said that so i would do it all for you. cheeky bitch" i said finally catching on.

we brought our things downstairs and put them in the cars.

ollie and jacob came downstairs at about 12.

"you boys look shit" i laughed when i saw the state of them.

"don't laugh" ollie said.

"what's happened to you both" leah laughed.

"nothing" jacob shrugged.

"they've had no sleep last night. they were up playing playstation all night" my mum said with a disappointed look.

me and leah burst out laughing.

"jacob if you've had no sleep, i don't think you should be driving home" leah said.

"i'll be fine. i will drink coffee and have breakfast. i'll be alright" he said.

"you don't even like coffee" amanda laughed.

"says who" he said while putting on the kettle.

"you, every time you drink coffee" leah's dad said.

"our ollie is exactly the same" my dad added on.

"jacob are all your things packed" amanda asked as the boys ate breakfast.

"almost" he said.

a few hours later we were all ready to go. we all said bye to my family and went to our cars.

leah had simba in my lambo and i went to jacob.

"not a single scratch j, i mean it" i said as i handed over my keys.

"i'm trustworthy. your car is in safe hands" he said taking the key from me.

"whatever he's saying soph is probably a lie" leah joked.

"shush leah" he rolled his eyes.

"i'll see you later mister. in one piece" i said pointing at the car.

i went off and sat in my car with leah.

we waved at my mum as we drove off.

it was a long drive. we had music on and we chatted through out the journey.

by the time we got home, it was dinner time. before arriving we went and picked up a pizza for home.

jacob was waiting outside by the time we got home.

leah opened the house and let simba inside. he started running around, exploring the rooms.

i walked around the car and inspected it jokingly while jacob stood and watched nervously.

"the cars completely fine i promise" he said.

"then why are you so nervous" i laughed. i knew the car was fine. i trusted jacob. i was just messing with him. he shrugged his shoulders.

i ruffled his hair and led him inside.

"we got pizza" i said as we sat in the living room.

"jacob do you want to stay tonight or should i drop you of now?" i asked as we finished eating.

"can you drop me off if you don't mind" he said.

"yeah" i nodded.

we got our coats and shoes on.

"i'll be back soon le" i said. i kissed her lips and went to the door. simba came running towards me.

"see you in a bit bud" i said and we left.

we sat in the car and i started driving us.

"can i put some songs on" he asked.

"sure" i said.

he put on some song.

"what is this absolute dog shite?" i said.

"you don't like it?" he said.

"no" i laughed.

"this is a banger" he said.

"there's no way." i said. "i'd rather sit in silence than listen to this"

"stop being horrible" he said and turned the song off.

"do you want an ice cream" i offered as we came to a mcdonald's.

"i'm alright" he said.

"well i want one" i said and went to the drive through.

"you sure you don't want anything" i said again.

"yeah i'm good" he said.

i ordered my own ice cream and then we carried on the journey.

it took about an hour to get there.

amanda opened the door and came to the car.

"come inside darling" she said.

"i've got leah waiting at home. i told her i'd be quick" i said.

"ok well i'll see you soon" she said and waved me off.

i drove back home and parked up.

when i got in, the lights were off and leah wasn't downstairs.

i went upstairs and she wasn't in the bedroom. simba was asleep in his little doggy bed that leah must have set up for him.

i went into the bathroom and saw leah in the bath with lots of bubbles.

"come join me" she said.

i took off my clothes and got into the bath with her. i sat between her legs and leaned my back into her chest. she wrapped her arms around my waist and kissed my neck.

"how long have you been in here?" i asked.

"literally just got in about 5 minutes before you got home" she said.

we stayed there for a while. leah kept kissing my neck and jaw.

we got out and dried ourselves before heading to bed.

leah got in and pulled me on top of her.

she kissed my lips and kept her hands at my back.

"good night my girl" i said.

"goodnight darling" she said back.
