I woke up early the next morning, I had the dance hall booked and needed to get ready. I let Zayn stay round last night so he slept on the sofa, i'll wake him up when i'm dressed.
I had a shower and tied my hair into a high ponytail, teasing the crown of my head, before slipping into a pair of black leggings and a light pink crop top with straps across the chest and back, to keep the baggage in. I took my phone of charge and packed it inside my bag, along with earphones, a portable speaker system and the notebook containing all my choreography.
"Get up quiffs." I fluffed my hand through his hair as I walked past his sleeping body to the kitchen.
"What time is it?" I hear him mumble through the sheets.
"About eight." I shout through to the other room, "Want some toast?"
"Yeah, please." I hear my floorboards creak as he gets up, "Sleep okay?" He leans on the door frame in his T-shirt and boxers.
"Yeah, I did actually thanks. You?" I return the question as the warm toast pops up.
"Yes, for once in my life." He smiles at me and starts to move closer.
"You don't usually?" I realize how much I actually don't know about him.
"Nah, you know, stress and anxiety. I tend to find it hard to get to sleep, your sofa's fucking magic." He laughs and I get the butter from the fridge, beginning to spread it.
"I couldn't live without sleep." I tell him, how someone can find it hard to sleep and forget everything is beyond me.
"I do sleep," He reassures me, "Just I only get about four hours most of the time. Don't get me wrong, it drives me crazy and I wish it was easy for me, but i'm used to it and your place is so peaceful and homely. I just slept better when I was here at first but last night, I think I had about eight hours, and it was sick!" I laugh at his explanation, no way is my flat homely. I have to admit, his place did look like a show home.
"Well i'm glad you slept well, because we have a long day at the dance hall." I lean up and place a kiss on his cheekbone.
"I like this," He pulls my chin up so my lips are on his, "Kissing you whenever I want to."
"Well, eat your toast, get ready, and i'll kiss you some more." I slide his plate along the counter and laugh at his face.
"I'll be as quick as possible." He takes the toast to go and get changed in the other room.

"This place is awesome!" Zayn remarks as I open the door and let us both into the dance room I booked.
"Yeah, the whole mirror thing is pretty cool." I sling my bag down and set up the speakers with my music.
"No kidding." He keeps walking in circles around the room admiring the mirrored walls and ceiling.
"Hush," I say as I sort through a variety of songs to find the one I choreographedd for, "Okay, I have it. Now sit and watch or wait outside." I instruct as i press play on the song.
(PRETTY HURTS - BEYONCE)
Mama said, you're a pretty girl
What's in your head it doesn't matter
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
What you wear is all that matters
I see Zayn sit on the floor and watch me dance to the first few lines.
Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I'm gonna take the crown
