(Everthing Has Changed - Taylor Swift)

"Angel, phone me as soon as you read this - it's good news! Jag älskar dig. E ♥" This was the text I woke up to at 8am. I immediatly picked up my phone and dialled his number.

He picked up on the second ring. "Angel!" I could tell instantly he was excited.

"Hey, what's the news?" I asked, curious.

"I got off the phone with JSon early this morning, and he can't get here until 12.30pm tomorrow, and the actress we were hiring has become ill."

"Ok," I replied, still confused, "but why is that good?"

"Let me say another way - you have 28 hours to come here!"

"I still don't understand, Eric." I heard him laugh.

"Angel, it means that we need an actress. You have plenty of time to get here so I thought ... I thought you might like to be in the video with me."

My world stopped at that point. Me, in a video with Eric. It was a dream come true. I was busy thinking about the possible outcomes, when his voice snapped me out of my trance. "Angel! What do you say?"

"Yes! Oh... But I can't afford a ticket." I told him glumly.

"All taken care of. You leave Heathrow for Stockholm at 12.30 today - first class, of course." I could hear the delight and excitment in his voice.

"You're amazing." I whispered. "Ok, yes - I'll be on that plane!" I was the one smiling now.

We had said our goodbyes, and I started packing straight away. I turned my flat upside down looking for my passport, stuffing clothes in my bag as I went. I didn't know how long we would be there, so I packed 10 of everything in a hurry. I text Chloe quickly, vaugley explaining what was happening.

"I can't meet up later - sorry! Eric has just phoned me and asked me to be in a video with him, so I'm leaving for Stockholm in a few hours! :D xx"

"Oh my god, so jealous! I'm dissapointed but have fun and call me asap! xx"

              ..........................

At 11.45 exactly, I checked into heathrow airport. I text Eric to let him know, and he replied that he could not wait. At 12.30, I was on the plane, on the way to Sweden and my love.

At 4pm Swedish time, I touched down in Stockholm. It was a beautiful city. I considering going to get a taxi, but I was caught off gaurd by my name being called over the tannoy system. I understood just enough Swedish so that I knew I was being told to go to the parking lot.

A minute later, I was in the virtually empty parking lot, so I was instantly able to see it - Eric, standing in front of a silver car, a huge smile on his face.

#Cause all I know is we said hello,

And your eyes look like coming home.

All I know is a simple name,

Everything has changed.#

He must have seen me as soon as I had walked out of the doors, because he was smiling widly at me. I saw him, and my body, of it's own accord, dropped my bag and started running towards him.

I thought I would knock him over, but he caught me and lifted me off the ground. I wrapped my legs around his wasit and he kissed me passionatly.

"Angel!" he said as he caught me. "I missed you." he sighed. After we greeted one another, he picked up my bag and led me to the car. I remember him saying he had a car over here, and it made me laugh to see it was the Opel he had been given last year.

We drove through the streets of Stockholm, me never failed to be amazed by it. We arrived at Eric's flat only 20 minutes later. It was beautiful - it was large, simply decorated and with the most amazing view of the city.

As he led me in, I was thinking about what I would be doing in the video shoot when I was distracted by a familiar voice coming from the living room.

"Get it! No, like that! Man you suck!" it yelled. But - Eric had said that JSon wouldn't be here until tomorrow. Why had he lied? I obviously had my confused face on, as Eric took my face in his hands.

"I told you what I did because I wanted you here quickly. I did not lie about the actress, though. I swear it." he was getting worried now.

I kissed him and said "You, Mr. Saade, are such a romantic." He let out a breath and smiled. I backed away from him, and he came after me. I spun around and ran to the living room.

"Hey, JSon!" I yelled. I heard the game go quiet, so I knew he had paused the game.

"Hey you! I heard you were coming - E hasn't shut up about it!" he laughed as he hugged me. Me and JSon got on like best friends, which I could tell was a relief for Eric.

"I am present, y'know!" I heard him exclaim from behind me.

"Yes, and I am very glad." I told him, turning around, wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him his first kiss since the airport.

"Guys, cool it!" JSon laughed.

"We'll continue this later," I promised Eric with a wink as I let go of him and walked towards the sofa. I grabbed a controller from the table and glanced at Eric.

He was still stood there, but he soon cleared his throat and shook his head. I laughed and turned my attention towards the game.
