I fall onto our bed, exhausted. Caspar comes in behind me, changing his clothes. "Charlie you should probably clean off your makeup and change into some more comfy..." I hear Caspar start but I soon hear nothing as I drift off into a deep sleep.
~~~
I wake up to find myself in bed with one of Caspar's jumpers on and just my underwear. I look around wondering when I fell asleep seeing as I can't remember much at this point in time. As my eyes dart around the room, I see my phone on the bedside table and press the home button to see the time - 3:12am. "Huh." I let out a sigh and get out of bed to go to the bathroom. My eyes feel sore so I'm guessing all my makeup is still on. I get in the bathroom and shut the door so I can have the light on without waking Caspar. My makeup looks horrendous and I can see a few pimples starting to appear from me sleeping with makeup, clogging my pores. I decide to do a deep cleanse of my face, getting my skin care products out of the drawer in the bathroom sink.

Firstly, I get out my makeup wipes and get all the makeup off. When I'm done with getting most of my makeup off, I get the remainder off by scrubbing my facial cleansing lotion around my face and I then rinse it off. I decide to do a mask so I get my Bobbi Brown mask that I bought a while ago and I loved it then so hopefully I still love it now. I spread it all over my face and then go and get back into bed to leave my mask for a while.
I pull my MacBook onto my lap and bring up YouTube. I decide to watch the latest Good Mythical Morning episode called "Will it corn dog?" And turn the volume low so that I don't wake Caspar.
After about 40 minutes I've watched about 4 and a half GMM videos and I decide I should probably clean off my mask so I go to the bathroom sink and wash it off. I spray toner over my face to refresh it and put some lip oil on my lips.
I get back into bed and continue watching videos until I start feeling tired again, which is around 4:30am so I put my laptop down and move in closer to Caspar and he instantly wraps his arms around me and pulls me in to him.
*8:30am*
"Morning, my beautiful fiancée." Caspar smiles. "Morning." I grin and kiss him on the nose.
"Where's all your makeup? I changed your clothes but I didn't wanna poke your eyes out trying to rub your eye makeup off so I just put you to bed in my jumper." "I woke up last night and did a deep cleanse for my face so hopefully I don't break out for sleeping on makeup." I explain, "Thank you for dinner last night babe, and thank you for bringing me home and putting me in comfy clothes. I think I must've bombed the hell out because I remember pretty much nothing." I giggle. Caspar laughs. "Yeah you were delirious on the way home so I kinda just expected that you were half asleep."
Our conversation I'd paused when I hear keys jingling at the door. I jump in excitement and go to run downstairs. "Charlie I'm having a shower, tell them I'll be down soon!" Caspar yells after me but I don't reply because I'm too excited.
I always miss Zoe and Joe so much when they go away, they're my only family and they mean so much to me.
"Zoe!" I exclaim, throwing my arms around her as she and Joe bring in their bags and plant them on the ground. "Hey Charlie. How have you and Caspar been without us?" She giggles. "Great actually, but I'm so glad you're home."
"Hey little cuzzie!" Joe says, wrapping his arms around me gently. "Hey Joe." I smile, relaxing into his arms. "Where's Caspar?" They both ask, almost in unison. "Just got in the shower. He'll be down soon." I explain. "Ugh." Zoe lets out a tired sigh and falls onto the couch.
"So how was the shoot?" I ask. "It was so fun!" Joe says excitedly, "I wish you could've been there. Even though we're biologically cousins, you're pretty much my baby sister. It still could've been a sibling photoshoot with you in it." He smiles. "When will the viewers be able to see it?" I ask. "Hopefully next month, we'll upload some behind the scenes vlogs too." Zoe says. "Yeah, the viewers are already trying to guess what it was for on Twitter because they saw our Snapchat stories." Joe adds with a laugh.
"Anyone guessed correctly yet?" I ask. "Not as far as we can see, right Joe?" Zoe says. "Nope, I haven't seen anyone guess right." He replies.
"Joe! Zoe!" We all hear a squeal from upstairs, then quick, heavy footsteps down the staircase. Caspar envelopes Joe in a bro hug and kisses Zoe on the cheek with a hug. "Hey man! How've you been?" Joe says, beaming. "Yeah it's been good! How was the photoshoot?" "We've just been telling Charlie all about it." Zoe smiles. "Could we possibly catch up later? I'm pretty exhausted, they had us up late and woke us early so we got probably 6 hours of sleep over the whole three days." Zoe groans, starting towards her bedroom.
"Yeah sure thing, I'll come get you for dinner in a few hours." I smile. I don't get a response which I was expecting because she's exhausted and I know she would've responded if she wasn't so exhausted so I'm not bothered.
"I might sleep soon too, but Caspar I saw on your Twitter that you got some gelato yesterday so I'm having some before I sleep." Joe tells Caspar.
An hour later, everyone is back in bed. The house is pretty silent, as Cas and I don't want to wake Zoe or Joe since they need the rest.
I just sit on my laptop, planning wedding stuff, even though we aren't getting married for a good while. I want our day to be perfect so I'm looking at a lot of different ideas.
I show Caspar every now and again to see his opinion on a certain look for our wedding.
Obviously it has to be something we both agree on. I am picky about aesthetics and design but it's his big day too and I can't have it purely the way I want, we both have to want it to look the same. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.
"Caspar, how about a mostly plain white wedding but with small pops of color?" "Sounds good, but what colours?" He asks. "Well what colours do you think go well together? I want blue so what do you think goes with blue that you want also?" "Well I love blue too so maybe it could just be white and blue?" He suggests. "Alright, that sounds great." I smile.
Ookkkaaayyy sorry I've been absent for a week or something idk how long it's been lmao. Not long but it feels like ages. Anyway basically life is getting me down and I'm trying to figure how to get back up but I'll get there eventually:) hope you enjoyed this chapter x Remember to vote, comment and follow!
