Come & Get Your Love • Alex Turner

46: Holidays Ongoing

Avery's POV:

Alex and I have been going well for 2 months. Before going back to England, I had to make sure he was always safe and sound with the band. And now I'm back again of being lonely on my own roof, staring at the ceiling but writing something on my notebook would help me relax even if I was wearing only a shirt and panties.

We had a recent sleepover again in Lewis's place. We had absolute fun as the whole friendship group really brought their significant others around with them. Photos being posted on our social media accounts, feeling aesthetic at all.

And here I am again. Doing nothing in my own home. For the exams, I made it again. I already told my family about this one as Alex doesn't know about this yet. I wanted to surprise him and thanks for his help for making me calm all the time, not being under pressure at all.

While I was cooking my favorite spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, a phone call immediately interrupted Avery's personal cooking show, and I quickly picked it up;

"Hey, babe. How's it there in London?", I asked while the sauce was still in cooking

"Night one was fun, baby. How I wish you were here to see us", Alex's voice was exhausting and tiring, "I'm in a hotel room right now, Ave"

"And here I am, stuck in LA, cooking one of my favorite dishes", I was boasting, "Spaghetti and meatballs",

"Damn, take me back there and let me taste those"

"Only if you can have the chance again", I jokingly returned.

Alex sighed, "Damn it, Jasmine. Anyways, I'm currently planning to invite you 'ere in the UK - to celebrate Christmas with my family in Sheffield.

I froze. I was looking down at the cooking sauce in which I lowered the heat to prevent it from burning. I couldn't believe what Alex said - inviting me to see his family in his home place. On the other hand, I made a promise to my family that I'd be seeing them during the Holidays...

"You there, Ave?", Alex asked after a moment of silence occurred.

"Y-yeah", I stuttered for a bit, "Still thinking about that"

"Thinking about what, Ave?", Alex's voice raised up for a bit.

"Coming over there in the UK", I clarified. "I hope you understand, Al, I made a promise to my family to see them this Christmas-"

"So you really mean you don't want to see me family this season?", his voice was kind of aggressive. " Come on, Avery, I've already met yours and now it's yer turn to meet mine. You're an adult already, Ave. Ask your parents and I know they won't underestimate you for celebrating this season outside the country"

My voice shook, "Alright, Al. Relax. I'm gonna ask them after this one, okay? Gotta have some dinner and I'll let you rest right now"

"And I'm sorry for that voice, earlier, babe. I was overwhelmed. Got three shows for London and I couldn't overcome me stress immediately on hand", Alex yawned as I could feel the strain of his voice.

"It's okay", I warmly smiled, "And by the way, I gotta tell you some good news when I get there"

Alex was totally curious, "Alreyt. Can't wait to hear that one", he chuckled. " Anyways, what colour panties ya wearin?", he then added out of nowhere. I was only wearing my beige t-shirt paired with green panties on.
