The Little Things ✔️

Plane rides and calmed minds

Despite all the drama me and Mat were finally heading off to New York. Of course I was looking forward to it but with Reece going missing I didn't really want to leave. I had just woken up and it was around 4am. I didn't need to be up until 7am but I had heard some noises coming from my window. I slowly walked over and opened up the window to see Reece climbing up the drain pipe.
"Reece? What are you doing?!" I say so surprised to see him there. He looks up at me very innocently.
"I'm here to get mr teddy!" He says. He's only about a foot to the right of me so I swing my bare legs out of the window and grab him and pull him through the window. When we are both back in my room I come down to his level and look him in the eyes.
"Reece, don't run off like that you had Mat and me worried sick! " I say. He suddenly bursts into tears.
"I-I'm s-sorry-y" he says as he wipes his eyes. I pull him into a hug and stroke his soft golden hair.
"Stay here Reece." I say. I walk out of the room and walk straight into Mats room. He jumps when he sees me come in.
"What the hell Al?!" He says.
"Reece he's in my room you spork." I say and head back to my room with Mat close on my heels. When I re-enter the room Mat runs straight to the waiting Reece sat on the floor.
"Reece why did you run away?" Mat says in a hushed voice.
"Because Mr teddy wanted to go on an. adventure." He says looking up at Mat with those blue eyes.
"Reece please don't do that again." Mat says kissing Reece then putting him on the ground again.
"Now go back to bed." Mat says ruffling the little ones hair. Reece gives Mat one last hug and then walks towards his shared bedroom with Patrick. Mat walks towards me and brings me into one of his hugs.
"Now we can properly enjoy our trip to Nee York." Mat says into my ear.
"Good night gorgeous I'll see you in a few hours." Mat says as he shuts the door behind him.

"Come on! Al WAKE UP!" I can hear Mat shouting in my ear. I open my eyes to see his face no more than ten mm from mine.
"Ok ok I'm up!" I say and jump out of bed. Mat giggles and pulls me into a hug.
"Our taxi is outside." He says in my ear. We walk downstairs and open the door to a beautiful sunrise. The air is cold and crispy but still pleasant. I shiver and Mat seems to notice and he takes of his jumper and without warning pulls it over my head. It's like a warm and constant hug. It smells like Mat so I'm positive I will steal this from him. We get into the taxi and the driver pulls out of the drive. I'm so excited to not worry about anything for these two weeks. Just me and Mat to ourselves.

"Please will all passengers fasten their seat belts for landing." The pilot tells us. Finally after such a long flight we are finally here in New York. As we come into the airport the sun gives a beautiful sunrise of Amber lilac pink and purple. Mat puts his hand into mine and squeezes it in reassurance. I've never been a fan of flying so to feel Mats protective arms around me was bliss. I'm sure going to enjoy this little get away.
