Chapter 42 Cards and Performances

I must have listened to that song at least ten times over the course of the day, I was humming along by lunchtime. Hannah came in to see me at lunch and we had a chat about her trip to France with Lewis and how we were getting on. I didn't tell her about the drama with Ross, to be honest it didn't really pop in my head walst we were talking. Once she left we all went back to work, I was sorting out some stuff for the weekend for the guys, making sure that they had some shirts for them to wear and anything else that they needed taken down since the truck that was taking our stuff was leaving this evening so that it can be set up tomorrow.

Once I had done all of that it was three o'clock. Katie had came to the office and was giving me a hand along with talking to Hannah and sorting some stuff out for her. We were sat in the Hat office and we were just waiting for the guys to finish up which they insisted would be soon.

Five o'clock rolled around and Katie and I had decided to just play cards on the sofa as the guys carried on editing and uploading. Finally all three of they said they were done, everything was set to upload over the weekend and we had enough content to cover the time that we would be away. 'Come on then let's get out of here.' I said putting my back over my shoulder. Smith turned his computer off and Trott stood up, 'Ross come on.' Trott said. Ross stood up and picked up his keys and we all walked out together.

Trott and Ross walked upfront and the three of us walked behind. Katie was telling me about Insomnia and the fans but Smith seemed very excited about the Pub quiz on the Saturday. 'We won last time and came second.' He told me, 'We have to hold up our title.' He sounded very excited.

We got home and no body felt like cooking, I don't think we would have time, we still had to pack and stuff ready to head out tomorrow. Trott was walking around asking people what they wanted for dinner and he was going with Ross to go and get it. Smith and I were sat in out room on the bed folding up clothes and putting them into our shared bag. 'Are you looking forward to it?' he asked. 'Yeah just nervous, sounds like there is going to be a lot of people.' I mumbled. 'Yeah there are, I'm not going to lie but you only meet one at a time and you don't have to go on stage if you don't want to.' He said I looked at him. 'Stage?' I asked. 'yeah we play games or do Q&A on stage but you don't have to if you don't want to.' He told me putting the last shirt into the bag and zipping it up.

He put the bag down his side of the bed and I stayed sat on the bed. 'So then were you in a band or what?' I asked. He shuffled on the bed and I did the same so that we were facing each other with our legs crossed. 'Yeah, it was only for fun though, we did some songs here and there.' He told me. 'Can you sing it for me?' I asked him. 'I don't really feel up to it now.' He excused, 'Please, for me.' I said putting my hand on his knee. 'You know if you weren't so cute and if I didn't love you as much I wouldn't do half as much for you.' He said leaning over and picking up his guitar. He did a few strums before he played. I listened to him not taking my eyes off of him once as he sung. I got that feeling, like there was no one else but me and him, all time froze and everything was right in the world as he sung. He finished and looked at me, I put my hand to his cheek, his beard tickling my palm. I leant forwards and hissed him lightly before resting my forehead against his. 'I love you.' I whispered, he kissed me back longer this time. 'I love you more.' He put his guitar down by the bed before he came back and brushed my hair behind my ear, he kissed me again and again. I put my arms around his neck as he did so.

Smith and I laid in bed, he was looking up at the ceiling and I was laying on his arm with my head on his chest. I listened to his heart beat through his chest walst stroking his hand which was rested on his stomach. 'Dinner is here.' Katie's voice said over the system. I looked up at Smith he was still staring. 'Abbey, Alex, Dinner is here.' Katie's voice said again. Smith sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed, I laid in bed and watched him. He stood up in his boxers and picked up his trousers from the floor. 'You coming?' he asked me I rolled onto my front slightly tangled in the bed sheets and looked at him. He had his trousers on and sat back on the bed and brushed my hair behind my ear. 'You can't go downstairs looking like that, the others might complain.' He said I chuckled and rolled over with my back to him sat on the other side of the bed. I leant over and picked up a pair of shorts, underwear and vest top from the floor and started getting changed. Once I was done I stood up and Smith had his shirt back on and we left the room.

We walked downstairs and into the dining room, Smith had his arm around my shoulders. 'Where have you two been?' Ross asked, Katie and Trott sounded like they were in the other room eating. 'Upstairs.' I said sitting at the other end of the table and Smith sat next to me. Ross carried on eating his pizza and Smith and I started on ours. 'Are you looking forward to tomorrow?' I asked Ross. He nodded having just taken a bite of pizza. 'Should be good.' He said covering his mouth with his hand. 'How are you going to deal with Kim?' Smith asked. Ross shrugged, 'I don't know, probably just try to act normal. We are adults.' He said, he was dealing with this very well.

After pizza Ross, Smith and I were all sat in the dining room talking. Smith had his arm around me and would occasionally stroke my arm, Ross was sat opposite Smith and I now. We were telling me about Insomnia and telling me about who would be there and everything.

We were still talking about random shit by half ten when Katie and Trott came in and said that they were going to bed. We all agreed and went up with them and to bed. I could barely sleep that night, it was a combination of nerves and excitement
