Briar's pov
The next day I wake up at seven and remember that our flight is at ten. It takes half an hour to get to the airport so we have should leave at about nine. I know that Myles will still be sleeping, so, I run into his bedroom and jump onto his bed.

"Wake up!" I yell as I shake him awake.
"Briarrr." He says, slightly annoyed.
"Mylesss." I say, copying his tone of voice.
"It's seven in the morning!" He exclaims, hiding his face in his pillow.
"And?" I ask.
"It only takes me ten minutes to get ready!" He exclaims.
"But we have to have breakfast, do a checklist, make sure we have our passports and get everything into the car!" I exclaim.
Don't worry, I got him a passport with the name 'Noah Jones'.
"Ugh fine! But you're squashing me!" He says, trying to move.
"Sorry about that." I say, getting off him.
"No worries. Now go and get yourself ready, I'm sure you'll take longer than me." He says.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" I ask, placing my hands on my hips.
"That beauty takes time." He says, planting a kiss on my cheek.
"Nice save." I say with a giggle and walk out of his room to get ready.

Myles' pov
As soon as Briar left, I put on my white long-sleeved shirt, black jeans and a black hoodie on. Yeah, not much colour but I wanted an outfit that people would notice me in because they're still looking for me. Once I do my hair, I grab my suitcase and put it inti the car. Then, I go back into the house and see that Briar's suitcases, yes she had three suitcases, were by the door. Being a nice person, I loaded them into the car so she didn't have too.

About half an hour later, she walked down the stairs wearing a pair of denim blue jeans and a white crop top. Wow, she looks beautiful.
"Myles where's my suitcase?!" She yells, panicking.
"Relax, I've put everything in the car." I say, reassuring her.
"What about the checklist?" She asks, still panicking.
"Whilst you were getting ready, I checked the house and we have everything we need." I say and smile.
"Thanks Myles, I just get a little stressed sometimes." She says and hugs me.
"It's ok, I understand. You look beautiful by the way." I say and wink at her.
"You don't look so bad yourself." She says with a smile.

Then we walk into the kitchen and Briar starts to make breakfast.
"Sorry, I would've made breakfast but I don't know how anything works." I admit.
"Hey it's ok, how could you know? Besides, you've already helped this morning." She says, smiling at me.
I smile back and once she has made it, we eat breakfast.

After breakfast I check that we have our passports, which we do, and get into the car. I start driving and we start talking.
"So what's the plan again?" Myles asks.
"Have you forgotten already?" I joke.
"Maybe." He replies and I let out a small giggle.
"No worries. We are going to the airport and someone by the name of 'Mike' will be waiting for us at the entrance. He will be our chaperone until we get on the plane as he can't come with us. Once we've landed in England, Mr Smith will pick us up and take us to our new house. He may stay for a bit longer somme and him can discuss the shop but that means you'll have time to unpack! He said that we won't open the shop for another week as I need to bake the cakes! He also has given us the week off to get settled in. Do you remember now?" I ask, smiling.
"Yep! I do now." He says, looking out of the window.
"Wait a minute, I thought you could see pasts." I say suspiciously.
"Oh I can and I did remember the plan, I just love hearing your voice." He says which makes me blush.
"Myles you're so sweet." I say and he kisses my cheek which makes me smile.

As soon as we arrive at the airport, Myles helps me get my stuff out of the car. I have a lot of stuff ok! Maybe three large suitcases full but oh well! Myles doesn't seem to mind helping me. I spot a luggage trolly so I go and get it, then bring it back.
