I laid on Cole's bed in silence and waited for him to say something. He told me that he wasn't upset about the breakup and that he was waiting for a reason to break up with her. I knew he wasn't lying because when he told me, he had sincerity in his eyes and genuinely looked happier when talking.

I hadn't seen him like this in a long time and it was nice to see him actually be himself for the first time in a while. It had been 2 days since noni and cole took scarlett to the airport and I couldn't be happier that she was gone. All the guys knew what she had done to me when she slapped me in that bathroom and they had all apologised for not realising. Cole genuinely looked hurt that his ex girlfriend had hurt me so bad and I felt bad for lying to his face about it.

I had spent the past few days mostly hanging out with Cole and maya. I had noticed that Cole had become more touchy with me, slinging his arm round my shoulders at any moment he could. I had to hide my smile and excitement every time he slung his arm round me and I let all my emotions out when I was alone with Maya.

We were leaving majorca later on today, it was upsetting to leave but the boys really had to get back to training and I had a busy schedule ahead of me with modelling. We had to leave the house around 3 and I had just finished packing my suitcase and was now hanging out with Cole in his room, helping him to pack his own suitcase.

At this point, i was using any excuse just to spend time alone with Cole. He made me feel more comfortable than anyone else and always knew how to make me laugh.

We left the house after triple checking everything to make sure we hadn't forgotten everything and set off in a taxi on our way to the airport. I took a taxi with Cole, Noni and Reece and we arrived at the airport with around 4 hours until our flight.

We werr waiting in the waiting area for around an hour, waiting for everyone to pass through the security checks and luggage weighing. I was going to miss mallorca but I couldn't wait to get back into my own bed and have some alone time. Don't get me wrong, i love spending time with everyone, but spending more than a week with them really drained my social battery.

-----------------

We finally boarded the aeroplane and i swapped seats with Noni so that he could sit next to ben and talk about any upcoming training plans.This meant that I could sit next to a cold and spend more time with him.

I felt my eyelids slowly drooping shut and I felt cole take off his jumper and prop it under my head and onto his shoulder so i could use it as a pillow. I secretly smiled at the gesture and got myself comfortable to sleep.

-----------------

The taxi arrived on mine and Reece's driveway and Noni and Cole decided that it would be better to crash at our place since it was too late to find a way to get back home.

I walked upstairs and dropped my suitcase and luggage on the floor and quickly plugged my phone on charge before it died. My sleep schedule was already messed up before we went on holiday, but now it was even more messed up as I had mega jet lag.

I didn't realize that Cole had followed me up to my room and also dumped his stuff on my floor. As I put my hair up in a messy bun, I turned round to see him flopped on my bed already fast asleep. I decided to leave him.I got into bed next to him. It didn't mean anything and it was nice to have someone next to me while I slept. It felt safer. He was letting out light snores as he slept, bloody mouth breather. I had no clue how he just fell asleep like that. I laid awake for another hour, scrolling through tiktok.

After a while, I felt cole move up against me and put his arm round me. I stayed still as to not wake him and just let him lay there. Did he think I was scarlett? Or did he know what he was doing?

As I scrolled through Instagram, I saw Noni had posted something on his account. It was a picture of me and Cole asleep on the plane. I mentally facepalmed and knew that this would cause rumours speculating about a potential relationship.

reece: cole you better not be getting any ideas i swear.

I knew rumours were going to start and decided to let the press and public do their own thing. I didn't want to deny any rumours because I had fallen so deeply for Cole and I just wanted to get closer to him.

---------------------

I woke up from the deep slumber that had overcome me and I rolled over to see Cole, still fast asleep. I knew I had to get out of bed before Reece came into my room and assumed anything was going on.

I picked my phone up and my phone was blowing up with articles of rumours about me and Cole. I sighed and turned my phone off.

I decided to have a shower and forget about all the rumours. I definitely didn't want to deny the rumours but I knew cole wouldn't want the press making up lies.

As I let the water run through my hair I let the thoughts overtake my brain. It was nice to finally be back in my own shower.

I got out the shower and got dressed into come comfy clothes. Even though it was nice in the heat of Mallorca, it was nice to feel normal again in the cooler weather of England.

I threw on some joggers and a top I found in my suitcase that i hadn't worn on holiday. I always overpack.

I made some breakfast and divided the portions into four so everyone had some. I laid it out on the table and as I turned around, Noni walked into the kitchen and gave me a quick hug.

"I'm sorry for starting all those rumours"

I laughed and shook my head

"Don't apologise"

"Ohhhh you want them to happen" he gave me a knowing look and smirked.

I stayed quiet and started eating my breakfast. Ignoring the teasing that I knew was going to come from Noni's mouth.

Reece and Cole joined us and we ate while reliving moments of our holiday. We laughed and talked until we finished our food and then dumped the dishes in the dishwasher.

Cole looked at me as if he wanted to talk to me and I went and joined him on the sofa. He turned his phone to me and it showed an article which had speculated rumours of me and him.

"I say we ignore it" He said

I looked at him. Did he not want to deny the rumours? So many thoughts ran through my head as we settled down watching netflix.
