For the next few days Joe and I talked on the phone and texted but didn't meet up. There was no reason behind it, it's just we were both busy. I have been looking at flats around London and then met up with one of my friends Nora and went shopping.

"So, when can I meet Joe?!" Nora texted me.

"Well, my mum & James are going away this weekend, so I may have everyone over," I replied.

That reminded me, I should probably text Joe and see if he wants to hang out then.

"Joe! My parents are leaving tomorrow for the weekend, want to hang out at my place? Casp, Zoe, and Alfie can come too. X."

I waited for a reply. But soon got distracted my doing laundry. I was folding my clothes when my phone buzzed on my dresser and I ran to get it.

"Awesome, sure, I'll let everyone know! Xxx."

I don't know why I am so excited to have everyone over. Hopefully they will like Nora and vis versa. However, Nora can be a handful, so we'll see.

I made my way into James' and my mum's room and they were packing for tomorrow.

"Do you mind if I have a few friends over tomorrow evening?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Of course," James smiled.

"Just don't get too crazy," Mum winked jokingly.

"Anyway, we're leaving tomorrow morning, so feel free to do pretty much whatever," James smiled, "And I stocked the fridges and cabinets."

"Wow, thank you," I smiled.

My mum had me help her pack a bit, before she suggested we all take a break from packing and relax by the pool, considering how warm and sunny it is outside. I decided I can work on a tan, so I changed into my smallest bikini to avoid tan lines, knowing as I tan quite quickly, all thanks to the Italian on my dad's side.

"This is cute," My mum complimented my bikini.

"Thanks, it's quite skimpy, hence why I've never worn it," I laughed.

"I think it makes you look 'young and hip,'" My mum laughed, motioning quotation marks with her fingers.

I laid on one of the lounge chairs next to the pool and tanned before the sun decided to hide away. I ended up tanning for a few hours, after falling asleep in the sun. Once I woke up, I went inside and my mum and James were sat on the sofa talking. I slipped to my room, trying to not disturb their serious-sounding discussion.

"Minx, honey," My mum called as I was going up the stairs.

I went back downstairs and went into the livingroom, sitting on the sofa opposite them again.

"I know this sounds silly, but I want to ask you. James said that the hotel offered us a couple free nights because of the amount of times he's travelled there, so is it alright if we stay a few extra days? I'll give you access to money so you won't be stranded. But I want to make sure," Mum explained.

"That's perfectly fine! Have fun, I don't mind at all."

"I told you she wouldn't mind," James smiled to my mum.

"I'm almost 20, I'll be alright on my own," I smiled.

"Well, if you ever get scared, I'm sure Joe will come over," My mum winked.

"Oh my God!" I laughed.

They continued talking and so I got up to go get changed into lounge clothes. It was almost 6 o'clock, so I decided to get in the bath after all. I put in a soothing bath rocks and ran the water. Having my own bathroom makes it easy to do what I want, so I lit some candles to put around the bath before getting in. I relaxed in the bath for a bit before getting out, getting food, and then going to bed.

"Minx, honey, James and I are leaving," Mum said sweetly, waking me up.

"Oh, yeah, sorry," I said getting up.

I gave my mum a hug and she told me to have a nice time while they're gone, and I said likewise. I said good-bye to James too. They said they would let me know when they'll be heading home, but not to worry. After saying good-bye a final time, they left for the weekend.

I soon found my way back to my bed, before thinking I should properly get up rather than sleeping all day. Being naturally as curious as I am, I decided to properly look around the house. Really, I have only gone in the main livingroom and kitchen, outside, and my room and my parents' room. I looked around and found James' office and a game room. Then, two extra guest rooms. This house is so big, especially for being so close to the city, it must've cost a fortune.

"Hey," Joe texted.

"Hi, you can come over earlier if you want. I'm not doing anything today," I replied, hoping it doesn't sound too desperate.

"For sure. I'll be around in about an hour. I haven't even gotten dressed!!!" Joe typed.

"No worries! I haven't either, see you soon."

I went to get dressed. I put on a pair of shorts and a cropped top. Content with my easy, yet stylish outfit, I put on a bit of make-up and earrings and my nose stud again. I then cleaned the clothes off of the floor and put them away. My room is still so bare, but whatever.

An hour later, Joe arrived. I texted him to say the door's unlocked and to just come in. I heard him come in and ran down to meet him.

"Hello!" I smiled.

"Minx!" Joe smiled giving me a hug.

We sat down in the livingroom and hung out, just talking and getting to know each other more.

"This house is crazy awesome!" Joe said.

"It's James' but yeah," I agreed.

I showed him around. The kitchen, the guest rooms, bathrooms, where my parents' room is, then my room.

"Sorry it's so empty, I barely moved in," I justified.

"No, it's cool," Joe nodded, "Was this from the other evening, after dinner?" Joe asked, referring to the Polaroid on my wall.

"Oh, yeah," I smiled, a bit embarassed because it's literally the only thing on the wall.

"I like it," Joe complimented.

"Thanks. So, what time are the others coming over?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Around six, does that work?" Joe asked.

"Of course, so in like two hours."

Joe and I decided to eat something. I looked in the fridge and there was a bunch of different fruits, snacks, and beer. Same applied to the cabinets.

I sat on the counter and ate ny snack and Joe sat infront of me on the stool.

"I'm excited for this evening," I grinned, "Oh, and can you tell them to bring swimsuits? We have a hot tub!"

"Awesome!" Joe said excitedly as he took out his phone and texted them.
