Cheryl spent the rest of the morning in a constant state of redness as the funny comments kept on rolling in. “What a night eh Chez?”... “Maybe scream my name would have been a better song title?”... “Nice to see you back on your feet Cheryl?” were just a few of the jokes that were sniggered at her as members of her group wandered past. Tre couldn't help but giggle at her moaning into her hands as they sat at the table, having just finished their breakfast.
“How are you not even bothered?” she asked him quietly as he stuck his bottom lip out, stroking her hair as he felt sorry for her being so embarrassed.
“Haha... aww baby...!” he whined as she looked at him adorably. “They’re just jealous aren't they?!...You would find it funny if it was someone else!” he chuckled as she smiled at him, holding his hand on her lap. “Just ignore them, they’re only doing it cos they can see it’s embarrassing you!” he explained as she leaned into him to give him a cuddle. “Aww... you’re so cute!” he giggled as she nestled her head under his chin while he comfortingly wrapped his arms around her.
“Love you” he heard her whisper quietly as he softly kissed the top of her head.
“Erm...hate to interrupt this little moment, but do you fancy checkin the gym out with us bruv before we go?” Tyrell asked as he sat down next to them, winking at Cheryl who scowled back moodily, making him laugh.
“You OK, yeah?” Tre mumbled down at her as she continued snuggling in to him.
“Yeah go on, go for it. I’m gonna go and sleep for another hour!” she sat back up, smiling at him as he kissed her cheek affectionately.
“Right, come on then bro cos we need to check out in a bit!” Tyrell called as he walked towards the other guys who were waiting by the door.
“See you in a bit bambs...remember, just ignore them OK?!” Tre stroked her hair as he stood up. Cheryl nodded, rolling her eyes before he chuckled, wandering off to join the others.
“I’m surprised you’re not too knackered mate!” one of the dancers, Harris laughed as the boys were all working out in the hotel gym.
“Get lost... dick!” Tre laughed, playfully pushing him as he sniggered loudly, making the others begin chuckling.
“Nah mate, you’re one lucky *Bar Steward*...jheeeeeze!!!” Danny joked while Tre continued working out, laughing away.
“We were just celebrating! ...it was a big night for her!” Tre chuckled, raising his eyebrows as Tyrell laughed.
“Yeah, I bet it was!” Tyrell winked as they all burst out laughing again, Tre shaking his head but smirking widely.
Meanwhile, Cheryl quietly let herself into her hotel room, breathing a sigh of relief to find the room apparently empty. She threw her phone onto the sofa and then collapsed back onto the bed, closing her eyes as tiredness washed over her. She was suddenly disturbed however as Joan came wandering out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a towel. “Oh hello love... I didn't hear you come in? ... Tired still?” she asked innocently, looking over at Cheryl who was curled up on the bed.
“Oh don’t you start as well mam!” Cheryl whined, thinking she was making another joke.
“Hey, I’m not even going there pet...that’s too much even for me to deal with!” Joan replied, chuckling as Cheryl groaned whilst closing her eyes again.
“OK, sorry...and yeah I’m just tired....where are the two flower pots?” she asked, referring to Lily and Rosie as Joan sat on the edge of the bed next to her.
“They've went to get their nails done downstairs...think they’re just putting some time in” she chuckled as Cheryl smiled up at her. “Well done again with the single sweetheart...I really am so proud of you, you've done amazing!” Joan smiled down at her daughter as Cheryl scrunched her nose up cutely.
“Aww thanks mam...I still can’t believe how well it’s done already! ...I’ll give you the album later; you can listen to it now!” she giggled, having forbidden her mother to listen to the full album until it was actually released, mainly just to tease her as she had been desperate to get a hold of it for weeks.
“Haha... thanks! ...it’s about bloody time! ...You would think being your own mother I’d be allowed to hear it before everyone else, but nooo...” Joan joked, making Cheryl laugh.
“Ahh shut up you numpty!” she replied cheekily as her mam rolled her eyes, sarcastically.
“Make sure you give your dad a quick ring later...he’ll be so excited for you!” Joan smiled as she moved over to lie next to Cheryl.
“Aww bless him ...wey I’m going up there tomorrow so I’ll see him in person” she smiled, getting excited about going back to Newcastle. “...but yeah, I’ll ring him later too” she continued before yawning widely.
“Howay, have a nap before we go love, I’ll wake you up in a bit!” Joan smiled, picking her book up from the bedside table to read as Cheryl snuggled into her mam and instantly fell asleep.
