Katie woke up the morning after to loud laughter echoing through the house. Reaching across the bed blindly, she patted with Tatum should have been, frowning when her hand met the flat bed sheet instead. Closing her eyes, she tried to let the pull of slumber pull her back in, but was instead disrupted by loud laughter disturbing her again. Turning on her back she let out a sigh, smiling softly at the subtle smell of Tatum that was still on the bedding.

"You're doing it wrong!" She heard the voice of her sister yell through broken laughter followed by a shushing sound she could only assume was Tatum.

Stretching out her body, trying to release the tightness from the activities her and Tatum got up to the night before, she let out a groan as her bones cracked before rolling out of bed, pulling on a pair of shorts and a T Shirt. Walking downstairs, she was greeted by the patio doors open and the smell off freshly brewed coffee in the kitchen coming from the Starbucks cup on the table. She grabbed the cup, smiling when she saw her name on it. Taking a sip, she watched Ella and Tatum outside, laughing at the two attempting to do a dance in sync, eventually being messed up by Tatum.

"Tatum!"

"Stop shouting at me!"

"Be better!" Ella shouted with a laugh, walking to the side of the garden and picking up her own coffee.

"Right, between you and your sister, you're both very demanding. Also, Katie, I can see you lurking." Tatum spoke, waving in Katie's direction without looking.

Katie let out a loud laugh, unable to keep her eyes of Tatum as she stood in the sun, holding Ella's phone and watching a video, mouthing things to herself as she took it in. She was stood there in a pair of Barcelona shorts and a T Shirt Katie recognised as her own. Katie didn't think anyone pulled off the casual look quite like Tatum. Come to think of it, she doesn't think she's ever seen Tatum in anything other than casual clothes, Tatum already admitting to her she's not massive on fashion. She supposes that'll change when they go to hang out with some of the Arsenal girls tonight, Tatum having told her off Beth and Viv's offer last night before they got...distracted.

"Yeah, well I was trying to sleep but was disrupted by two very loud gobs." Katie announced as she walked through the doors, immediately going up to Tatum and pulling her in for a soft kiss, leaning in again to connect their lips once they pulled away. "Morning." She whispered.

"Erm, you've had your time with her, stop distracting her." Ella disrupted the pair. "TK, come on."

"Right, this is the one." Tatum announced, passing Ella her phone as the younger girl set it up. Katie smiled as she took a seat on the patio, watching Tatum and her sister get into position. It warmed her heart that they were getting on so well, even spending time together when she wasn't even awake. She guessed they would, they're a similar age with Tatum only a few years older than her, but you can also never be sure.

Katie sipped her coffee as she she heard the music coming from Ella's phone, laughing when Tatum eventually messed it up again. "Poor effort." She shouted, getting a playful glare from the English girl.

Ella glared at Tatum before walking to her phone and starting the video again.

Except this time it was her that messed it up, causing Tatum to stick her arms up in victory. "HA!"

"This is painful." Katie spoke.

"Alright, smart arse, you come do it then." Tatum spoke as Ella shoved her with a smile.

Katie had a fairly active presence on Tik Tok, so she knew the dance fairly well. So she plastered on a cocky smirk and stood in the middle of the two, all taking a step back and getting in the frame.
