You wake up the next morning, lying comfortably in George’s arms. The 2 of you open your eyes at the same time and smile to each other. After you’ve gotten up and dressed, you’re pulling your vest over your head and George helps you adjust it around your hips and then kisses you while brushing your hair back from your face with his fingertips.
You go back to your room & get dressed, as does George. Then he knocks on your door to pick you up to take you shopping. As you walk to the shopping mall, your sundress blowing delicately in the breeze, you & George are holding hands and talking about what you do for work. George is being very evasive and you’re confused as to why, but like that he’s interested in what you do.
You’ve spent the last 5 years working up your career in handbag designing & you’re very passionate about what you do, so you very rarely have time for social things or for just relaxing and watching TV, which is why you were so glad to be on this holiday, spending time with friends and not having to think about anything resembling responsibility.
The 2 of you stop at a coffee shop to get an iced Frapachino and sit on a high street bench talking and laughing before heading into the mall to go shopping.
As you walk around all these designer shops, you’re looking at tags thinking ‘I can’t afford these’ & George notices your reaction ‘Don’t worry, it’s on me’ he says. ‘No, I couldn’t ask you to do that’ you say, flattered by you don’t want him spending all his money on you. ‘No, seriously, it’s on me’ he says and smiles. You don’t want to offend him or seem rude so you let him buy you all these amazing new clothes.
As you’re walking back to the hotel, he carries most of your bags for you.
You sit down on the bed and are showing your friends the new clothes that George has bought you. The boys are all out at a bar at the moment, so it’s just you, George & the girls. Mollie says ‘How can you afford all these George? You must be loaded’ all the girls laugh & agree ‘Yeah, I’ve got a bit of money’ he says.
The girls leave the 2 of you for while & George says he has a confession to make to you. You’re really worried and you sit yourself up straight on the bed, looking at him with slight concern, you take his hand that’s in his lap and he looks you in the eye, worried but knows that he has to tell you the truth.
’Well you see, the thing is, I… Me & the boys…. We’re in a band’ George says
’Oh, that’s cool, what kind of music do you do? Do play the pubs & clubs in London?’ you say back, not realizing that when he said ‘band’ he means as in a famous, signed, legitimate boyband. He explains and you’re so shocked that neither you or any of your friends realized.
”Why didn’t you just tell me?” you say
”I was worried about how you’d react” he says “Plus I didn’t want to think about it, we’re on holiday, I just wanted to relax and forget about working, just for a couple of weeks, we’ve been working non stop for the last 8 months”
”So are you telling me this because you don’t want to see me anymore after we fly home? Because your fans will get upset if you’re dating someone? Because if that’s why then I’d rather we just end this now than drag it out, it would be too painful” you say
”God no, of course not” George says, sitting beside you & taking both your hands in his
”I’m telling you now, because I didn’t want to not tell you for weeks and then you’d find out & think I was trying to hide it from you. I really like you & I think we have something special here, so I think we should just be completely honest with each other right from the start”
You’re so moved by his flattery & honesty that it makes you quite emotional. You hug him, squeezing tightly round his shoulder. He sighs blissfully & whispers “I love you” without pulling away, you smile and reply “I love you too”
”I know it’s pretty insane how fast this has all happened, but it just feels right, I’ve never felt more alive and in love than when I’m with you” George says.
After a while, you start asking him about the band, you’re really interested to know what ‘Union J’ are all about, you’re asking about singles and albums, music videos, tours, fans….
George is so fascinated that you’re so interested & answers every 1 of your questions. “I really do love this girl” he thinks to himself and stares lovingly at you as you talk (almost babbling by this point)
”So your fans are called JCats? That’s so cute” you say & both laugh.
”That’s a good point actually…” he says, pulling his phone out of his pocket.
”What do you mean?” you say
George pulls you close to him to take a selfie…
”This is going straight on twitter, I want all the fans to meet you” he smiles while thumbing the buttons on his phone.
”But what if they hate me?” you say, a little worried.
”They won’t hate you, they’re awesome, we have the best fans in the world! They’re gonna love you”
He tweets the picture, saying “I’d like you all to meet my girlfriend [YN], isn’t she beautiful :) Look forward to seeing you all when we get back. George X”
That night, the whole group of you are spending time together in Maya & Tilly’s room, just chatting. All of you are now aware of the situation & ofcourse the topics are all about the band, so many questions, but you don’t want to feel like you’re annoying them, so you try & change the subject, when all of a sudden Maya says “So are you guys gonna sing us something or what…?” all the girls clap in agreement and you look at George & say “okay, I’m curious… let’s hear something” he smiles back at you & picks up his guitar.
The boys get up and stand in a row & Olly comes and sits next to you on the couch. They do a beautiful rendition of ‘Pompeii’ by Bastille & you don’t realize it at the time, but you’re smiling from ear to ear and singing along in your head.
You all stay up for hours talking, as usual. And all fall asleep in the same room, spread all over the place… As usual.
