So apparently Jess has fallen asleep with her head on my shoulder, her hair is tickling my nose and I think I'm going to sneeze so I softly put it behind her ear and find myself a tissue. Do I even have one? "What are you looking for?". "Have you got any tissues?". "I don't think I have. Can't you go to the mens room?". "Jess is asleep, I don't want to wake her....ha-ha-". "I'll get one for you, be right back".

"Thanks" I say when Josh hands me a couple of tissues to blow my nose. My phone beeps, it's Jaymi. "Hi" I answer it. "George, where are you? It's nearly midnight! Is Josh with you? We're in the hotel". "We're at starbucks?". "Sorry?". "We got stuck in Starbucks with a fan". "How?". "The snow". "I see. So where are you gonna sleep?". "I don't know yet. We're all stuck until at least tomorrow morning". "That's not good". "No". "Well goodnight, say hi to our fan for me". "We will. Josh says goodnight too. Love you". "Love you too, bye". "Bye Jaymi".

"What did he say?". "He was worried about where we are". "I understand" Josh says "we've been here for ages. Does it ever stop snowing?". "Someday it will". "In spring yeah, ofcourse". "What time is it anyway?". "Haven't you got a watch?". "I left it in the hotel". "You'd forget your head if it wasn't connected to your neck". "Sorry". "It's 12:03 AM. Do you mind if I go to sleep?". "Not at all". "Goodnight". "Night".

I stare at my twitter page but my eyes are starting to get heavy. My phone slips through my fingers in between Jess' and my back and stays there but I don't even mind. Let's just pray tomorrow we will be free again. Tomorrow's a big day for us. Christmas Gig at Covent Garden. I want to invite Jess because it's been a great day meeting her. I just hope I'm not falling in love with her. At least, not yet.
