|||| SPOTTED: Liam and Jess at the airport, accompanied by Jack and Ashley. Romance is in the air this fall and it's making me nauseous. Our little nobody Elsie got Jason slumming it in a soup kitchen, his rich paws shaking the less fortunates, i never saw that coming ||||

I stand at the Cooker, whisking the peppercorn sauce for dinner. Jacks due back any minuet and I've missed him today. I thought dinner would be a nice surprise. My phone play dangerous women while i twirl around the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Just how I like to see you" he says, walking into the kitchen, "barefoot and in the kitchen" he laughs as he walks towards me. "It smells great he says" kissing my lips softly.
"I thought you'd be hungry" I smile, wiggling my way out of his arms to carry on dinner. I don't need him distracting me and me burning down his house, not today.

"I've planned something" he says as he finishes dinner.
With a raised eyebrow and a concerned look I ask him "what have you planned?"
He scoots his plate over and drags his glass off wine closer to him "a week away, just the two of us" he smiles "Ireland, I've got a cottage there, I bought it years ago" he smiles as his eyes search mine
"Haven't you just bought the hotel there too?" I ask him.
He nods "yeah, I want your help picking furniture and deciding the decorating" is smile grows as he speaks about the hotel "that's if you want" He Asks
"I'd love to, jack" I smile, it would be nice to get away and help him with something like this.
"I know you're good at that sort of thing" I can't believe he remembered that. We were drunk when I told him.
"We go tomorrow morning" he says his face growing concerned.
"Sounds good" I say, pouring another glass off wine.
"We will be picked up at 10am" he says.

~~~~~~

"Thanks will" he says ending his call. "The drivers outside" he smiles as he grabs our luggage from the living room. "You ready?" He Asks.
I nod my head and follow him outside.
"I'll grab that sir" the driver says taking our cases off him.

The drive to the airport doesn't take long, will drives us onto the tarmac, I gaze out of the window a little confused but not saying anything.
Jack nudges my leg as we pull up near a plane.
Will gets out and walks around to our door opening it.
"Safe trip, sir. Miss" He says handing us our luggage.
"This is yours?" I ask.
He nods, smiling proudly "Yes. I don't expect my girl to travel with others" he smiles, grabbing ahold of my hand and leading me towards to plane.

"Can I get you anything" a small women with brown hair Asks, as were in the air.
"Can we have two glasses of red, please?" He Asks.
She nods her head with a polite smile and scurries off to get it.

I gaze out the window, looking at the clouds below us. "Are you ok?" Jack asks, he must've noticed the worry on my face.
I turn towards him, so I can face him as he grabs hold of my hand, gently rubbing his thumb over my knuckles "Yeah" I sag quietly "I just don't like flying" I shift in my seat to get more comfortable.
The women comes back and hands us two glasses off wine, I gratefully accept it "thank you" I say, jack nods his head and she turns to leave. Taking a sip of my wine I relax a little more. "Better?" He Asks And I nod "much better" I smile.

I lean my head on his shoulder with my earphones in as he types up emails, work emails I'm guessing. I listen to music, distracting me from the fact I'm on a plane.

"Wake up" jack shifts the hair from my face "were landing shortly" he whispers, planting a kiss on my forehead.
I let out a grunt, not wanting to wake from my slumber. Rubbing eyes I slowly open my eyes "Hi" he whispers. Making me smile like a Cheshire Cat "thankful I've got no mascara on or I'd look like a panda" I laugh. "you don't need makeup, you're beautiful as you are. Always" I readjust myself to tie my hair into a ponytail.
"I've got some news" jack says packing away his laptop "Liam and Jess will be heading over to Ireland in three days" he smiles.
"Are they? I thought they were going to Europe?" I ask a little confused.
He nods his head "Yeah, but Liam wanted to see the hotel while we're here and jess doesn't want to leave him" he explains "he wrote me an email seeing if it was fine to join us, I thought you'd be happy to see your best friend" he looks at me a little confused with a raised eyebrow.
"No, I'm happy.. I'm just a little tired to take in all the details, jack"
"Owen will be getting us from here, he's my driver in Ireland" he smiles. I nod my head and wish I was back in a deep sleep.

~~~~~~

"Welcome home" he smiles as he carries our luggage over the threshold. "Are you hungry?" He Asks. I nod my head and he drops the suitcases at the door "we can deal with them later" he smiles "come" he holds out his hand and I place mine in his, he takes me through to the kitchen to root through the cupboards and fridges.
His hands are placed on his hips with a slightly annoyed look painted across his face "Ok, no proper food for a meal" He rolls his eyes. "Takeout?" He Asks. I nod my head "we can go food shopping tomorrow" He smiles, bending down to the bottom draw and pulling out different leaflets of food places "pick" he lays them out.
I wonder over looking through the menus, holding one up in my hand with a smile on my face "Chinese" I smile.

Jess: London is amazing!! Wish you were here.
Ashley: Ireland is amazing, so far. Can't wait to see you and Liam.
Jess: least it isn't a long flight to Ireland, did jack tell you we are flying back with you?
Ashley: no we haven't really spoken about it, he told me when I woke up, I was in a bit of a daze.
Jess: well yeah, we are flying home with you and jack. We need to come London together one day.
Ashley: sounds like a plan, I'll ring you tomorrow or something, we're waiting for dinner.
Jess: Ok, A. Love you

The door bell rings, frightening me from my thoughts. "That'll be 50 Euros please" a man says, handing jack our order "cheers" he shut the door, bringing the food into the living room, "tv dinner?" He asks smiling, I nod "I'll find something while you dish it" I click through the channels and find a film. "Dirty dancing!" I squeal with delight, "my favourite film" I smile as he sits besides me "let's watch it then" I put the blankets over us to keep us warm, the fires lit burning away at firewood. This is cosy, this is nice. "Here" he passes me my dinner and we sit back to watch the film.

"Nobody puts baby in the corner" I quickly say, I can feel jack gazing at me from the side of my eye "This is the best part" I say, sitting forward in my seat. His hand rubs my back as I gaze out the tv, I know this film way too well. "You know most of this word for word?" He asks as I scoot back into the sofa. I nod, proudly "yes, it's my favourite" I smile "I can tell" he laughs as the ending of the film is near. I find myself mimicking the words as they the dance together.

Another film comes on as this one ends, fast and furious "now one of my favourites" he smiles, putting his arm around my shoulder and bringing me closer, he kisses my head and I get comfortable in his arms. "I've watched these a couple of tones" I smile. They remind me of our first date, driving around the race tracks. Before the date ended like crap. I still smile, it was perfect up until the end of the night. "What are you thinking about?" He asks curiously, I smile "just you and our first date" I reply. He takes a deep breath "I'm sorry about that" he says, a little saddened by it "it's fine" I wrap my arm around his front as we watch the film.
