Decision, noun.
A conclusion or resolution reached after consideration. This wasn't a spur of the moment thing. I did actually think long and hard about this, and I'm glad I chose what I did. Don't think I'd have been able to focus on cheer anyway, if I didn't have Simon by my side, wether figuratively or literally.

Chapter sixty two: Dream vs Relationship
I left Simon to edit by himself for a few hours, whilst I caught up on some much needed sleep in the guest room, so I wouldn't disturb him. I also made the call to my cheer coaches, Eddie and Orby, which I had been dreading, and spoke to them about my situation. They 100% understood where I was coming from, as I knew they would. But doing what was best for the team was their top priority. It was exactly as I had expected - they put the alternate in my place on the team. I had merely to be satisfied that she was a great cheerleader, and would definitely have her head in the game for the team. I planned to go across to watch Meah and the rest of my team compete at worlds, hopefully bringing Simon with me. I knew JJ would be going. As for my ATV show, they had been focussing on Meah, once I broke my leg, so now that I was out for good, she was back in the spotlight. I made myself feel better by thinking happy thoughts about my cousin's future - once I got off the phone, I went to look at the top comments on the episodes that featured Meah. There were a few saying they missed seeing me, but a lot of them were keen to see more of Meah. Not for the first time, I wondered if she could be prevailed upon to start Youtube for herself. I resolved to get JJ onto it, thinking if anyone could convince her, it would be him. I liked to think that everything happened for a reason, even if it wasn't always beneficial to yourself. If breaking my leg, and having relationship troubles was what it would take to give Meah a career, then so be it.

I was hesitant to tell Simon that I'd lost my spot on the cheer team, as I knew he would think it was his fault. Ultimately, I did have to choose between my dream, and my relationship with him, and either way it was a high price to pay. Consequently, I said nothing of making the phone call to Eddie and Orby when I reentered his bedroom, after having a couple hours of sleep. He was sitting in his chair on his phone, his monitors all either asleep, or processing a video. I came up behind him, and rested my chin on his shoulder, wrapping my arms around his neck. He was busily texting Josh about what he needed from Tescos, a frown of concentration etched into his beyond perfect features. I turned my head to the side, and pressed my lips to the skin below his ear, kissing him softly, and biting his earlobe gently. I could feel the muscles of his cheek tighten as he smiled, but continued to text.
"Jordyyy..." he whined.
"Hmmm?" I murmured, continuing to kiss his neck. I noticed him shiver a little. "What's up?" I murmured innocently against his skin. In frustration, he threw down his phone, and swivelled his chair so he had space to pull me onto his lap. Then he tilted my chin to look at me directly, removing my lips from his neck. I poured. "I didn't get to finish," I complained.
"No," he breathed. "It's my turn." Then he brought my lips forcefully up to meet his own, and kissed me properly. But it wasn't for long. His lips began to trail kisses down the side of my face, and onto my own neck. I inhaled sharply, as I felt him nip at the skin there. That would leave a mark, for sure. He brought his face back up to meet my own, and we continued to kiss passionately, in this little heated moment of ours.

Finally, I broke away, needing to breathe. Simon was breathing heavily too, and as usual, he rested his forehead against my own, grinning at me. He brought his finger up to my neck, and gently poked the place where he'd been kissing me.
"Now we're matching," he smirked. I giggled at his childishness.
"I love you," I smiled.
"I love you too," he replied. "Don't know about you, but I'm exhausted."
"Hmm," I nodded. "I had a couple of hours before, but I think ten more would be perfect." Simon laughed.
"Okay," he said, standing up, and setting me down on the floor. "Go get changed, and come back."
