"i need to tell you something" he said pushing my short fringe away from my face.
"what's wrong?" I said tracing my finger on his arm.
"I was told yesterday that Susan was coming" he told me squinting his eyes.
"oh..when's she gonna be here?" I asked him casually.
"today" he said "we'll have to pick her up from the airport by 12"
"great id love to meet her" I smiled softly, I didn't want to ask why she was coming.
"so you're ok with it?" he asked.
"of course why wouldn't I be?" I answered quickly.
"she's helping Jemima with work for this fashion show thing...incase you're wondering" he continued.
"I wasn't..I just..don't want you to feel uncomfortable, I know things were kind of rough with her and you got hurt, I just want to make sure you're ok so don't worry about me" I brushed his cheek even though it was mostly just beard.
"look, me and Susan are friends now there's nothing between us and everything is fine and ok so you don't have to worry about it" he said and kissed my nose.
this is what I cared about, it wasn't about me not wanting Susan around because Winston was once in love with her it was that Winston was comfortable with her around. That's what mattered the most to me, how Winston is feeling.

-Next Morning-
(Winston's P.O.V)
"so who's picking Susan up from the airport?" Alice shouts from inside the shower.
"I think Jemima and Ben are doing it" I shouted "picking her up I mean..not the other 'doing it'" I snickered at my own joke.
"how did I end up dating a 12 year old schoolboy?" she came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.
"you got lucky" I winked at her and she stuck her toung out "oh and im the immature one" I laughed.
We all got together and had breakfast, it was again just us in the restaurant but it wasn't as quiet as it was yesterday. And it's safe to say that since Freddie was there, I wasn't the trouble making, inappropriate talking one.
Jemima's phone rang and she excused herself and got the phone call outside.
"a friend of ours wants us to come to his show at this little pub at the Britton tonight" Justin said with a mouth full of food.
"Jemima and I won't be able to make it, sorry mate" Ben said to Justin.
"yeah that sounds great" I nodded pulling out a smoke.
"what sounds great?" Alice asked with a bowl of cereal in one hand and orange juice in the other "Win drop that smoke" she scolded me and pulled the unlit cigarette out of my mouth after putting her bowl and glass down.
"we're going to Justin's friends' gig" I told her taking a sip from her juice and she slapped my hand.
"ooh that sounds like fun" she said.
Jemima came back scratching the back of her head "shit" she breathed.
"what's going on" Ben asked her concerned.
"I completely forgot about Sus, what an idiot I am!" she threw her hand up.
"I thought you said you and Jemima can't make it to the gig?i figured you meant picking up Sus" I asked Ben.
