(Joanne's Point of View)

I rolled over in Joel's bed and buried my face in the pillow. I didn't want to wake up. I was way too tired for movement. I heard the click of his bedroom door and pulled the covers up over my head.

   "Come on babe! Don't be so moody this morning." he whined climbing under the covers and cuddling me tightly.

   "But I'm too tired and don't want to move out your bed. Why does it have to be so comfy?" I muttered. It was honestly one of the most comfy beds ever. He just laughed and kissed my forehead. I wriggled out of his arms and kicked him out the bed. "Sorry Peat, I have a new boyfriend and its this bed." I smirked before burying myself in the quilt.

   "Six months and thats it? Dumped for a bed?" he asked. I sat up in the bed and nodded. "Well, I'll go ask the sofa to be my girlfriend and give it this amazing breakfast in bed." he added, pointing over to his dresser where a tray sat. 

   "Well maybe I could take you back. If you promise me I can have that breakfast in bed." I smiled. He didn't bother moving towards the dresser at all, instead he just jumped back onto the bed and pinned me down before quickly kissing me.  

   "I knew you'd take me back." he winked.  

  "Joel as if I'd break up with you." I said leaning up and pushing him back. "Now I believe I was promised breakfast in bed with my amazing boyfriend." I laughed. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed and went to get the tray.  

   "Now I'm not an amazing cook but I think I tried my best." he said climbing back into bed with me and setting the tray in front of us.  

   "Toast?" I said. "Well I'm proud of you Joel. Last time you made us toast you burnt it really badly." I said whilst grinning and picked up a piece.  

   "Glad you like it. Now let's eat then get ready because I'm taking you out today." he said stuffing a piece in his mouth. My boyfriend the charmer.  

   "Where are you taking me?" I asked. He said something but I didn't understand a word of it considering his mouth was full. "I'm sorry Joel but I don't speak toast." I added on after his attempt to speak. He swallowed what he had been eating.  

   "Sorry. I said I'm taking you into town." he explained. I sighed.  

   "But it's so cold outside and its November!" I moaned. He just looked at me.  

   "What's that supposed to mean?" he asked.  

   "Its November. Next week is December and that means Christmas. Everyone will probably be out getting some Christmas shopping now and it'll be super busy and crowded." I explained.  

   "Yeah but if its cold that gives me a reason to keep you right in by my side. Also means I get to see you in one of my jumpers. And if its busy then I'll just keep a tight hold of your hand and never let go." he said, tucking some hair behind my ear.  

   "You're the sweetest you know that?" I smiled before kissing him.  

   "You've mentioned it before. Now move your ass and go get dressed." he said pushing me out of bed. I walked off into the hall to go to the bathroom but not before I gave him the finger. "I love you too Joanne!" he called after me.

I grabbed hold of Joel's hand tighter as we made our way through the large crowds to get to different shops. I knew it would be busy but I never expected it to be as busy as it was. It was a miracle I still had a grip of Joel's hand the amount of people who were shoving past me.  

   "Will we go somewhere for lunch?" Joel asked turning back to me. I nodded and was pulled along after him towards a restaurant.

   "How can you live here all the time now?" I asked as we moved from the cold street to the warm restaurant.

   "Because I love London. Only bad thing is how little we see each other." he said turning around to face me and put his hands on my waist.  

   "I know but you have Lawson and I'm at college still. Guess we'll just have to settle for the time we do have together." I said looking around him to spot an empty table. I dragged him along with me to the table and sat down, dumping the bags I had at my feet.

   "Hey I've been meaning to ask," Joel started off after we had ordered our food. "how do you feel about spending Christmas with me? Seeing as its our first one as a couple." he asked. I looked over at him with a confused smile.

   "But you told me you were coming home for Christmas." I pointed out. And it was true. He had told me he would be home for Christmas. 

   "Yeah but I mean how about you stay at mine for Christmas. You know waking up to each other on Christmas day. We can spend half the day at mine then the other half at your parents." he suggested. I just smiled at him. He had it all planned out didn't he? 

   "That sounds perfect Joely." I said reaching over and grabbing onto his hand. "How come you can plan stuff like that out yet you're practically always late?" I asked. 

   "I am not always late!" he said, defending himself. I just shot him a look. 

   "Joel at the start of this month when I came down to see you, you were an hour late to pick me up." I said and watched as he sunk down in his seat slightly. 

   "In my defence, Ryan and Adam had hid my car keys so thats why I was late. You know I'd never stand you up." he grinned. I just gave him a look and laughed. 

   "I know you wouldn't. Cause if you did I would really not like you." I said. 

   "Well I'll never ever stand you up because I never want to lose you." he said with a small smile. Not going to lie I wanted to hit him for being so cute. It was unfair that he was being this cute in public where I everyone could see me turn red. 

   "I never want to lose you either." I smiled. "Can we head back to yours after lunch? I don't think I can handle anymore walking and being shoved about by people." I asked. 

   "Yeah sure! I'll help you sort everything out that you bought as well and help pack. Cause you know, I'm the most perfect boyfriend who does that." he said with a smug grin. I kicked him under the table. "Ow! What was that for?" he asked, reaching under the table to feel where I had kicked his leg. 

   "For getting too big headed!" I laughed. "But yeah, you are the most perfect boyfriend." I added on. He just smiled and leant over the table to kiss me before our food was brought over. Perfect end to a perfect day out.
