Truth (Chim)

Chapter 74

Kimberley's POV

I wake up all alone in a single bed.

That's the only thing I don't about tour buses, we have to sleep in single beds.

Very cramped single beds.

I'm not able to sleep next to Cheryl.

We're about two dates into the tour and it's the first night where we don't have a show on tonight so I'm looking forward to a relaxing day and a relaxing night in a hotel.

When we are in a hotel me and Cheryl share a double bed and I get to fall asleep and wake up next to her but on the tour bus I can't.

On our first night on the tour bus we spent half the night trying to sleep on the sofa but it was too uncomfortable so we ended up leaving each other and going to our beds.

I know it sounds stupid, she's only in the bed across from me but for ages we have been sleeping together so it's strange not being with her.

I quietly slip out of my bed not wanting to wake anyone around me but as I get up I realise there wasn't much point as Cheryl was the only one sleeping.

The other girls bed's were empty, including Katie's, and from the faint sounds I could hear I guess they were on the lower part of the bus.

Looking over at Cheryl's bed makes me laugh, she's always been a restless sleeper. There are many times where we will fall asleep in each others arms and I'll wake up to see her stretched out across the bed.

She's laid on her stomach with her arms underneath her pillow by her head and the duvet has fallen down so the back of her t-shirt is exposed.

She was really tired last night so I decide to leave her to sleep a bit longer and I make my way downstairs to find the girls sat on the sofas.

"Morning."

I'm not quite sure who that came from so I reply to everyone. "Morning."

I sit down on the sofa next to Katie who immediately cuddles up to my side, I wrap my arm around her and join into the conversation.

"So what do people want to do today?"

"I think a good shopping trip is in order." Of course Nadine would say something like that.

"I'm up for that, we could all go out for a meal in the hotel restaurant later too?"

"Yeah, I can't wait to sleep in a proper bed."

We all agreed because as exciting as tour buses were they weren't the comfiest things in the world.

Cheryl takes this moment to join us downstairs, you can tell she's only just woke up. She looks adorable walking in in a t-shirt and shorts with her messy hair, it looks like she hasn't even bothered to try and brush it yet.

"Morning baby."

"Morning Kimba." She walks over and leans down so she can place a few little kisses on my lips.

"Morning to you too chez." We both laugh at Sarah's joke ruining our little moment but I don't mind. I love that me and Cheryl can be ourselves around the girls and not have to worry about anything.

"Morning guys."

She chooses to sit in the empty spot on the other side of me and once the rest of the girls have started up a conversation again she turns and whispered in my ear.

"You weren't there when I woke up."

As she pulls back from me I see her famous pout.

"I'm sorry baby, you looked tired last night so I thought you could use some sleep."
