The sun seeped through the curtains and after the best, rather eventful night, I knew it would be a great day."RISE AND SHINE" I sang banging a pillow on Mia's head.
She groaned "fuck off - how are you so happy in the morning" turning back over.
I scoffed "Mia I am a positive person okay? Get up we are going out for breakfast, just us girls. And Ollie." I laughed.
Lola emerged from the bathroom with her hair still tightly wrapped around the heatless robe kit I got her for Christmas last year. "Babes I've been dealing with her happy mood early in the morning for years and it still doesn't annoy me any less." She told Mia who laughed, I playfully batted the pillow at her. "Hey not the curls Eleanor wills!"
"Okay you both look fab" I said in awe.
Mia had small beige cargo shorts on with a tight green Brazil top, boots and a small sleek black handbag.
Lola on the other hand, had a denim skirt and an oversized top which said "future milf" in bubbly pink writing. Her curls were perfect and the small silver sunglasses on the top of her head suited her well.
"Babe look at you" Mia said
Lola examined me "fucking hell, you make us look like trash" she twirled me round and I pulled them both into a tight hug.
Mia's phone dinged and she smiled up at a cute 50s themed dinner. "We're here according to google maps." She had found this place through TikTok and apparently their chocolate and banana French toast was to die for.
The decor was bright and inviting, everything looked as though we had travelled back in time. Heck even the music was the 50s.
We thanked the waiter for seating us before ordering - yes we had all looked at the menu before hand in anticipation.
Then my phone beeped
LUKE ❤️ - last night was so fun baby
Sent 9:45amLUKE ❤️ - see you after breakfast x
Sent 9:45amThe boys had decided not to come to breakfast and to have the hotel one instead - boring! But we would all reunite soon enough.
ME - me too ;)
Sent 9:46amME - seriously you guys are missing out on this breakfast it's amazing
Sent 9:50 amMy mouth watered at the huge stack of pancakes sat in front of me.
Fucking yum.
"Oh my god" Lola moaned putting my thoughts into words.
She snapped a pic of her food, then me and Mia who were opposite her.
Through mouthfuls of syrup and cream I spat "this is so good"
This is what heaven must feel like.
*******
The sun was setting on the beautiful city of New York and I was at the best spot you could be.
The very top of the Empire State Building.
"Oh my god" Kyle said in awe taking more pictures than I could count "it's fucking beautiful" he sniffed. I laughed - what a softie.
Jacob cleared his throat "Kyle are you fucking crying" he asked shocked as though Kyle wasn't the most emotional person ever.
"It's just so beautiful" he cried. Benji laughed putting him in a head lock. Luke rolled his eyes at all of them and placed his hands on my lips, before moving them up and down my body playfully nipping at my ear. My breath hitched.
"Fuck you know what keeps replaying in my mind over and over." He growled
I stuttered "wh - what?"
He chucked sinisterly "how sexy you looked bent over that -"
Ollie wolf whistled and Mia gave me a pointed look nodding her head behind me.
Jacob was stood with his hands on his hips and and angered expression "don't fucking dirty talk each other in-front of me that's where I draw the line." He huffed.
My face went bright red and I turned to Luke who had a grin on his face. He winked at me.
"Sorry Jacob" I mumbled very very embarrassed my brother had heard Luke talking about bending me over.
He rolled his eyes and turned back to Benji.
Fuck
My
Life.
******
"Best trip ever - thanks Luke" Lola smiled at him, taking my arm.
A choruses of thanks began.
"It's fine - it was all worth it. Now you can all fuck off back home. See you next year."
A pang of pain ran through my body.
Yet also one of relief
And how proud I was of myself.
2 years ago I didn't want to be alive and now I had just completed my first year of college. I had reconnected with my long distance best friend who I had missed dearly, I had made more friends and my childhood crush was now my boyfriend who I loved more than all the world.
"Well done E I'm so proud of you" Lola whispered in my ear. "Come visit yeah? Keep in contact. I love you babe." She told me before climbing into her Uber.
I was going to stay with her and her mom in Alaska for 2 weeks and I couldn't be more excited. That was of course after mine and Luke's trip to Florida.
"Bye babe I love you" Mia hugged me
"I'm gonna miss you" Ollie sighed planting a kiss on my cheek.
Then, I watched them climb into their taxi.
"It's been a pleasure Eleanor - stay safe" Benji smiled pulling me into a tight hug before climbing into his car and driving off.
I heard a sniff from behind me.
"Kyle" I laughed with my hands on my hips.
"I'm gonna miss you short stuff." He pulled me into a bear hug. "You two look after her" he pointed at Luke and Jacob before waving goodbye from his Uber.
It was quiet for a bit.
"So it's just us guys." Jacob said softly.
"Yep" Luke agreed picking up my bag and his.
Wrapping my hands around both of their waists I smiled to myself
"let's go home."
For the first time in a long while, I felt happy. Truly and completely happy.
