I got in with the guys and Ross looked exhausted, I hadn't spoken to him properly in a while, he went upstairs and I heard him shut his bedroom door behind him as I took my shoes at the bottom of the stairs. 'Do we know what's going on with him?' Trott asked shaking his coats off, Smith looked at me and I just shrugged my shoulders, 'go talk to him.' Smith said and I looked at him before going up the stairs.

I knocked on the door and Ross told me to come in, 'have you come to check on me?' he asked and I stood still, 'when you say it like that it sounds like I'm stalking you.' I sat on the end of his bed walst he put washing away. 'So what's new in the world of Ross?' I asked him he paused and looked at me before carrying on. 'Not much as it goes, might use my lunch break some when to go shopping, need some new socks and stuff.' He said, 'see nothing exciting. And I am fine by the way before you ask, just felt a little under the weather the past couple of days.' He shut his draw, 'I need a few bit's and pieces and Alex if forever putting holes in his socks. Do you want me to come too or not?' he sat on the bed next to me, 'sure we could grab something to eat too.' He sounded a little perkier now. 'Sounds like a plan. What you going to do now?' I asked him and he told me probably go and chill out, I had a better plan, 'let's go and cook dinner, I don't think anyone has started yet.' He agreed and we went back down stairs.

Ross and I finished coking dinner and called everyone to the table, we only made steak and chips but it was getting on a bit. 'Smells good guys.' Trott said sitting at the table with the rest of us. We chatted and ate, it felt relaxed again, no issues, confrontations or secrets. We were all back to normal minus Kim. 'Ok try this one, would you rather have to show up at the office in Trott's pink leotard or show up without any trousers?' Katie asked us in our game of would you rather, 'Leotard.' I said, 'that's easy you're a girl wearing a leotard is fine for you.' Ross said, 'guys wear leotards for dancing.' I pointed out and he shrugged, 'you have no idea how traumatic it was for us to see him in that thing, you could pretty much see everything.' Smith exclaimed I fake shivered, 'you enjoyed it really, deny it all you want.' Trott said standing up picking up plates. 'If that's some fetish you are on your own honey.' I said helping Trott clear away. 'I didn't enjoy it, it was horrible.' Smith defended, 'So you would go in without trousers?' Ross asked him and Smith nodded drinking his bottle of beer, 'wouldn't you?' Smith asked with a hint of disbelief, 'Oh go yeah, no leotards here.' Ross said standing up.

We were all sat in the living room, Smith had a small glass of whisky in one hand and he had his other arm around me and I was snuggled into his burgundy jumper watching the tv. Katie and Trott were sat the other side of Smith and Ross was sat on the floor with the dogs.

I don't know who's idea it was exactly but I think Trott and Ross were joking a out Twister since it was on the TV and Katie vanished for a second before returning with the game. 'I think it's the office one but it was brought over with some other stuff by mistake. 'Your joking?' Smith said, 'Who wants to play?' Katie asked, Smith shook his head but Ross, Trott and I were up for it.

We laid the mat out and handed Smith the board with the spinner on it, 'How we doing this youngest to oldest?' Smith asked we all agreed. So I went first, 'Left leg green.' He said and I did so, then Katie went, 'Right hand red.' Then Ross, 'left foot blue.' Then last was Trott, 'left hand Yellow.' Before we knew it we were in some weird and wonderful positions, Trott had fallen a little while ago abut Ross, Katie and I were doing pretty well. I had Katie's leg under me and I looked like I had just preformed a jazz slide. Ross had one arm over my legs and most of him was the other side and he looked pretty comfortable compared to Katie and I. 'Alright Katie, Left foot red.' Smith said, Katie carefully manoeuvred herself but she slipped and fell flat on her back, she went and sat with the others, 'Who will be next to fall?' Trott said in an announcer voice. 'Abbey right leg Green.' Smith said and I sling my leg over to a free green space next to Ross. 'Ross right hand yellow.' Ross had to reach over me to get the closest yellow. By this point if he were to fall he would land on top of me, 'Abbey right hand red.' Smith said and I just managed to edge my hand over to the red and sighed. 'One of you have got to fall soon.' Katie said, it think this is one of the most intense games of twister ever. 'Ross left hand red.' The only possible place for Ross to put his hand was the spot above mine so now he was pretty much shadowing me, 'If you fall now Ross I swear to god.' I said 'Left hand yellow Abbey.' Smith said and I managed to twist and slam my hand down on the spot below Ross'. We were now in a fairly awkward position, he was looking down and I was looking up, we could not have stopped our eyes if we wanted to, we just looked at each other . 'You two good?' Trott asked, 'I forfeit.' Ross said before managing to stand up and I flopped down before sitting up. 'That death stare got you.' Katie said looking at me and Ross nodded, I looked at Smith and smiled and he smiled back.

We packed twister away back into its box before we realised the time and went up to bed. Smith and I walked into our room, I still felt a little funny after the twister incident, I didn't death stare Ross, we just stared at each other. 'You're pretty good at that.' Smith said, it sounded like he didn't notice the stare like Katie did. 'Looks that way.' I said picking up my PJ's off of the bed. 'Your nervous about tomorrow.' Smith said sitting just in front of me, honestly I had pretty much forgotten it until now. 'Its fine, nobody isn't nervous about going and you don't have to do anything you don't want to. And I will be there so you're not on your own.' I smiled at him and took my shirt off. 'we can leave here like half eight tomorrow, so wake up around seven.' I told him, 'Sure if you want. I put my PJ shirt on and sat on the bed next to him. he swayed into me and smiled, 'I love you know.' He uttered and I looked at him and put my hand on the back of his neck and looked at him, 'I love you more.'
