It was Monday, one day after I had spent the weekend with the boys.

I was standing at the front of school, on the grass, waiting for my mum.

She was normally late, so I was used to it, but I really needed to get back home to do some art coursework, and then choose what I was going to wear for these 6th form taster days that we were having.

I got out my phone from my pocket, and scrolled through twitter and tumblr.

Recently, I have been having this obsession with reblogging pictures of cats and the sea on tumblr, and I had just found this gorgeous picture of the sea, just as it was hitting the camera lens, so reblogged it immediately.

My phone vibrated and I saw that I had a text.

Brad: “Surprise Bxxx”

I pulled a confused face and put my phone back in my pocket.

I assumed that he had sent it to the wrong number.

A car horn sounded, and I looked up to see a car in front of me.

It was Brad’s car.

I walked up to it, thoroughly confused, and opened the passenger door.

I got into the car seat, put my bag on my lap and shut the door behind me.

“What are you doing here?” I asked Brad, as he smiled at me and ran his hand through his hair.

“It’s quite a long story.” He began, “So as you know you have these two taster days tomorrow and on Wednesday. You may remember your mum telling you that you had to board because your brother’s French friends are coming over to stay?”

I nodded slowly.

“Well,” He continued, “I have persuaded your mum to let you come and stay at mine instead.”

I grinned at him and he leant in and kissed me.

He put his hand through my hair and I let his warm lips collide into mine.

****

We drove up to his house, and he parked in the drive.

We had gone to mine before, to collect everything I needed for the next 2 days, I would be staying at his for 2 nights, and then my mum would pick me up on Wednesday after school, because my brother’s friends will have gone by then.

I had packed my owl jumper, purple skirt and brogues, which I would wear tomorrow, and then my black leggings, purple jumper and converses for the second day. I also packed my pyjamas and general stuff I would need.

I got out of the car and followed Brad into his house.

I took off my shoes and then we went into the kitchen.

There was a note on the counter from his mum. It read:

“Brad, hope you had a lovely day. Your dad, Nat and I have gone away for the day but we will see you tomorrow. There is food in the fridge for you and Emily. Love Mum xx”

“Right, let’s find this food then.” Brad exclaimed as he clapped his hands together.

He came back from the fridge and pulled out two pizzas and put them on the counter.

I groaned quietly under my breath as I saw that the pizzas were mozzarella and tomato.

I hate mozzarella, and to be honest I’m not too keen on tomatoes either, but on pizzas I was normally okay, so maybe ill just try and eat it,

Brad opened the packaging and put the two pizzas on baking trays to go into the oven.

“I’ll go put my stuff upstairs.” I said, and walked up to his room and dumped my bag.

I quickly came back down again, and saw Brad cutting out the mozzarella on my pizza and putting some chicken on top.

“I’m sorry. This is the best I can do.” He sighed.

“You remembered!” I smiled at him.

“Of course I did silly.” He picked me up and hugged me.

I yelped and he put me down on the ground again, and put the pizzas into the oven.

****

About 15 minutes later, Brad and I were tucking into our pizzas.

They were delicious.

When we had finished we washed up and then went upstairs to his room.

“Want to watch a DVD?” He asked me.

“Cool. You pick something.” I said.

He chose Avatar, which I was happy to watch, and we walked downstairs into the sitting room.

I texted my friend, Martha who hasn’t ever seen Avatar, much to Sophie and my disappointment, saying that I was watching it and just to remind her that she really does need to watch it.

Brad disappeared for a while, but I set the movie up and then sat down on the sofa.

He appeared a few minutes later, with two mugs of hot chocolate and a blanket.

He handed me my mug, sat down and draped the blanket over us.

I snuggled up to him and he put his arm around me.

****

After the movie had finished, Brad suggested that we should go to bed.

I didn’t want to, but seeing as I did have school tomorrow, and it was around midnight, then I probably should.

I normally stay up later than midnight but the hot chocolate had made me feel tired, so I agreed with Brad, and we walked upstairs to his room.

I went into the bathroom to get changed and brush my teeth.

When I came out, I dumped my bag of clothes by the door, and jumped into his bed.

I pulled the sheets up around me and propped up a pillow behind me.

Brad soon walked in, in his pyjamas and slipped in next to me.

He turned off the light and we talked in the darkness.

One of the things that I asked him, was how everyone was and he said that everything was good, and that their album was coming along nicely, which was encouraging.

About an hour or so later, Brad said that I should be going to sleep , so I shuffled down into the bed and he put his arms around me.

I closed my eyes, and fell asleep to the sound of his breathing, and his chest rising and falling beside me.
