Cheryl and Tre: Goodbye Means Hello

Part 41

                  

Cheryl and Tre remained sat out in the car all throughout the lunch break, Tre just keeping Cheryl in his arms as she rested comfortably in his lap, still sitting on him with her legs on either side. Both of them had practically fallen asleep, until Tre's phone buzzed which brought them back into the real world – the text being from Lily, telling him that everyone was looking for Cheryl as they were due to start in a few minutes. Tre replied and told her that they'd be back in, in a moment, before softly stroking Cheryl's back.

"Baby, come on, we have to go back inside." He whispered. Cheryl nodded before lifting her head, keeping her hands on his shoulders as she looked down at him.

"Thank you for holding me, and just keeping me safe and making me feel better." She cutely thanked him. Tre smiled, reaching up and stroking her cheek. He then leaned up and softly kissed her lips, making her smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck again. She slowly pushed her tongue into his mouth, stroking the back of his head as their tongues danced around together. Tre softly nibbled her bottom lip before pulling away, smiling up at her.

"I love you." He whispered, his lips brushing against hers. Cheryl gave him a little smile, pecking his lips once more.

"I love you too." She whispered back. She then climbed off of him and got out of the car, Tre getting out behind her and pressing the button to lock the doors. Cheryl adjusted her dress that had risen up slightly when she'd been sitting on him, before the couple began walking back inside together. Tre kept his arm draped over Cheryl's shoulder while she kept her arm around his waist, using her other hand to reach up and lace her fingers through his. When they walked back into the lounge, Lily was giving them a funny look.

"What?" the couple both asked, wondering why she was looking at them like that.

"You two were out there an awfully long time." Lily smirked, giggling slightly. Tre chuckled softly while Cheryl just rolled her eyes, not really in the mood for jokes.

"We were just having a cuddle, so pack it in." she bluntly replied. Lily was taken aback by the reply and so was Tre, who thought she was completely fine now.

"Babe she was just joking." He said, stroking her arm.

"I'm not in the fucking mood for jokes though." She replied before shaking his arm off. She then went over to get her make up readjusted, while Tre and Lily exchanged a glance.

"I didn't mean to upset her; what the hell is going on?" Lily softly spoke before asking.

"Just some stuff on her mind bothering her; like I would tell you but I don't think it's my place – she'll be fine, don't worry; she's not mad at you really or anything." He explained a bit before giving Lily some reassurance. He stroked her shoulder gently, leading Lily to smile slightly before she went over to sit on the sofa for a bit. Tre breathed out before joining the boys at the table, though he was just wondering if his girlfriend would really be alright tonight...

 

He just hoped she would – for a few hours...

The rest of the auditions went quite well, with a good majority of the people going through to the six chair challenge. After everything finished around six-thirty that night, everyone headed back off home for the night – the lads agreeing to meet up at a bar in London after they went home and freshened up a bit. Cheryl had been a bit quiet for the remainder of the day, but did eventually say something to Lily, after Lily had apologized. Cheryl had reassured her that she wasn't really mad at her, because really she wasn't mad – she just had a bit too much going on.
