Cheryl and Tre: Goodbye Means Hello

Part 38

The rest of the day seemed to pass quite nicely after lunch; the auditions went down well for the most part. Finally, after finishing around nine that night, it was time to head off home. After bidding farewell to the audience, the judges all made their way back stage. Cheryl bounced up to Tre and hugged him straight away, making him smile as he hugged her back.

"Ready to go home?" he asked. She nodded, leaning into him as they walked towards the lounge.

"I'm getting sleepy, meh." She whined before yawning. Tre chuckled, squeezing her as they went into the lounge. He watched as Cheryl gathered up her things and said goodbye to everyone, before she bounced back over and linked her arm with his. Just as they were about to leave, Mel B bounced up to them.

"You two are so bloody beautiful together; I want to actually cry," she giggled before continuing, "Tre, just don't hurt this one. I haven't known her long, but I know she's been through enough, so just look after her."

"You have my word, Mel; I'll be looking after her." Tre replied, smiling back at her. Mel nodded and gave them both a cuddle, whispering in Cheryl's ear, "I hope you can walk properly tomorrow because you haven't been doing so today."

"Shut up!" Cheryl burst out, hitting her on the arm which made her burst out laughing. She then went off to grab her own things and chat to Simon and Dermot for a bit, while Cheryl and Tre left and went out to the car. They joined Lily and Garry, who were already waiting for them.

"You feeling good about the acts after today then, Chez? Some of them weren't as good as the room, but then there were ones who were better than the room." Garry pointed out as the ride home began. Cheryl nodded her head, resting against Tre's side as he had his arm around her waist.

"Yeah that's true, but I am feeling good about the ones we did put through. The six-chair challenge sounds like it's gonna be insane though. Simon was giving me and Mel a slight rundown of how it's gonna go and it sounds horrid." She pulled a face, which made the other three chuckle at how cute she looked really.

"You'll be fine, sis; you'll get on with it and get through it fine." Garry supportively told her.

"He's right; you'll be fine, babe." Tre chirpily agreed. Cheryl nodded, giggling a bit as she snuggled into his side.

"Oh yeah, when we get home, we need to call your mam remember as it's her birthday? It's not too late over in New Jersey right?" she wondered, closing her eyes as she rested against him.

"I have already called my mother and wished her a happy birthday from the both of us while you were working; you are more than welcome to call her though if you like – it's still early over there, well kind of; it's only like after five or something." He smirked, squeezing her gently. Cheryl gave him a pout, smacking his arm.

"I thought we was gonna do it together, that's why I asked thank you very much – I'm gonna call her anyway so she can hear a happy birthday come out of my mouth." She smirked back. Tre simply laughed and kissed the top of her head, making Lily stick her bottom lip out at how cute they were while Garry rolled his eyes as once again, he was living with the soppiest pair of people in the world.

It was around twenty minutes later when Lee was finally pulling through the tall iron gates of Cheryl's luxurious home. Once he stopped the car, Cheryl, Tre, and Garry sweetly bid both him and Lily a goodnight before walking up to the front door while Lee drove back off out of the gates to head to take Lily home. Once inside, Garry went straight to the kitchen to get himself a drink and something else to eat, while Cheryl and Tre went upstairs to get into some more comfortable wear so they could snuggle up for a while downstairs.
