Tracey
It was late when I finally woke up and I have a message from Nick just saying "Morning babe, I hope you slept well, call me when you wake up xx" he really is so cute, I'm not sure how long I am going to last keeping him at arms length as just a friend when he keeps being so sweet. I dial Sophie's number and Joe picks up "Hey Trace! You ok? Sophie is just getting the girls ready, shall I get her to call you when she's done" As I am about to say yes, I hear her come dashing into the room "I'm here, I'm here! Hey Trace" "Hey, do you want to come to mine for lunch today, I'm not really feeling going out to be honest so I could just make something here" "Can do, the girls are going to my mums today and tonight so we are both free...maybe we could all hang out today if you're up for it?"
I hear a slight hesitation in her voice because she knows what she is asking but I guess I wouldn't mind seeing Nick again so soon, might not be as much pressure with Soph and Joe here too! "Trace?" "Sorry, yes I'm here, erm ok yeah why not! I'm sure it will be fun" "Amazing, I will go and tell the boys. What time do you want us?" "Erm shall we say about 1ish" "Perfect! See you then"

I've texted Tracey last night and this morning and still not heard back from her. I hear Sophie on the phone and Joe says it's Tracey, I am mildly irritated that she called her first but we are meant to be just friends so I guess that makes sense. Sophie comes bouncing in the room and looks at me and says "who's the best sister in law in the whole world" "You, I'm guessing?" I have no clue what's going on right now though lol. "Yep!! Guess who we will all be spending the day and evening with now?" I'm starting to get a little excited now and before I can answer she says "Tracey!! We are all going to hers for lunch, I told her the girls are at my mums so we have the evening free but I'm thinking perhaps Joe and I might slip away a bit earlier and leave you two alone!!!" "How on earth did you manage that, I thought it was just you two for lunch" "She loves hanging out with Joe cos they have a laugh so I knew she wouldn't resist that!!" "Oh right" I am a little bit hurt that's the only reason she's agreed is to spend time with Joe but I don't say anything. "She obviously wants to see you too otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to it dumbass!!" She says back to me with a smug grin on her face.

Why, oh why have I agreed for the boys to come as well. I need to talk to someone about all this shit and now they are coming too so I guess I won't be. I'm busy in the kitchen making some stuff for lunch when my phone rings and I see it's Dani "Hey! Everything ok? Isn't it like stupid o'clock over there??" I'm a little concerned why she's calling me in the middle of the night. "Yeah, everything's fine, we can't sleep and we knew you would be up so thought I'd give you a call and see how it's all going" "OMG guys, I don't even know where to start!"
After I've filled her and Kevin in about the scene at the office and then going for dinner and now lunch today and how I'm so confused about everything to do with Nick and moving, I can feel myself starting to get worked up and I'm having a panic attack, I hear Kevin's voice on the phone now "Ok Trace, take a deep breath, just relax and calm down for a minute, I know it's a lot, we all know that you and Nick have something, we can all see it. He's different with you than he has been with other girlfriends, even Priyanka there is something about your connection that's amazing and just so pure that's why he got as upset as he did, I can't even explain it. I know you guys have not spent hardly any time together but trust me it's there. Just give him a chance" "As for moving, yes it's a massive decision and you should only do it if it's right for you, don't move for Nick, Sophie or anyone else, move because you want to go somewhere new. It's a massive massive decision, why don't you see if your boss will let you try it, go to LA for 6 months or maybe a year and see how you like it before you make a final decision" Dani says "Guys!!!That is a brilliant idea, I don't know why I didn't think of that. I will give my boss a call when we are done. Thank you both for being there and listening to me rant about everything" "You're welcome and just think about what we said about Nick" "I will I promise. Now you guys go and try and get some sleep and I will call you in a couple of days" "Ok, speak soon, Love you" "Love you too guys, give the girls a big hug from me" "Will do, see ya" and with that they were gone.
After a chat with my boss, we discussed me trying it for a year before I have to make any decisions, they will rent me a house and cover all my expenses for that year so I don't have to worry about anything. I just have to say yes. I've asked him to give me a couple of days just to really think about it and then I will give him my final answer. I find myself sat here thinking and the only person I really want to talk to about it is Nick, I actually can't wait for him to get here now. I finish making lunch and then text Nick "Hey babe, looking forward to seeing you today xxx" My phone goes off within seconds "Me too! See you very soon, we are leaving now xxx"
