Tuesday, the day she had to get up at 7am and start work at 9am. She snuggled into the warm blankets of her bed, not wanting to get up. Her eyes began to drift again, slowly closing, slowly falling asleep. Knowing she was just about to fall asleep she jotted up and sat against her headboard. Her warm hands gently rubbed her face trying to wake her up more. As she stretched out her body her feet kicked off the warm blanket revealing the cold. Reluctantly, she got out of her bed, letting out a groan. She stumbled a few times while walking to the bathroom connected to her bedroom, perks of being a wealthy only child. A towel sat ready for her to grab after she had taken a shower. Once she finished undressing she turned on the hot water tap and stepped feet first into the shower. A soothing sigh escaped her lips as the warm water fell over her head down to her toes.

After the shower, she stepped out wrapping the towel around her body straight away. She dried herself off with the softest towel she had ever felt in her entire life. Walking back to her room with the towel still wrapped around her body she opened her closet to get out her work clothes. After putting on her clothes she walked back to her bathroom to do her hair and makeup. Her hands wrapped around her hair making a ponytail. She added some light makeup onto her face so that she would look smart for work. After getting ready she walked back to her room and got her phone to check the time. 7:43am. She wondered what time it would be in France right now, and what Fionn would be doing. Her fingers tapped onto the clock app, she scrolled through the world clock to find France. 4:43pm.

Would he be filming right now?

Alice desperately wanted to message Fionn, but she had to have breakfast and then leave for work. Of course, she also secretly wanted to see if Fionn would be the first one to message. She found herself walking downstairs with the stuff she needed for work. Of course her parents were already up, bickering about their work problems like usual. Alice couldn't wait until she could afford her own house, and not have to deal with her parents all the time. Quite frankly, she could probably afford renting an apartment, she already had a lot of money in her bank. The only problem is that her parents insist on having her live at home, they're too afraid to let her go. Alice sighed while walking to her fridge to get out some milk. She poured some froot loops into a bowl and then some milk. Her fingers wrapped around the handle of a drawer pulling it open to get out a spoon before closing the drawer again. She sat down on a stool while she placed her bowl and her coffee on the kitchen island.

"Morning sweetie how'd you sleep?" her dad asked.

Finally, finally they notice she's in the room and pay attention to her. She replied with a simple "fine" before taking a bite of her food. After finishing her food Alice got her stuff and her car keys before walking to her front door. She said goodbye to her parents and left the house, when she reached her car she opened the door and got inside. Her aux cord was still plugged into her car from her previous trip she took with her car. She decided to listen to music on the way to work so she plugged the aux cord into her phone's audio jack and picked out a playlist. She pressed play and the song Jolene cover by Miley Cyrus plays as she drove off to her work.

Finally after 5 hours of working Alice's shift was finally over. She checked the time on her phone while she got her stuff. 3:02pm. Her arms stretched out as she put on her yellow coloured coat.

"Bye ali!" her coworker yelled out as Alice left.

"Bye" she replied cheerfully while she opened the door and walked out to her car.

Finally finding her car, she climbed inside and once again plugged the aux cord into her phone before driving off. She sang along to the songs playing as she drove home from work. She parked her car at the sidewalk right next her house, before getting out of the car she gathered her things. Knowing her parents wouldn't be home yet she got out her keys and unlocked the front door before walking inside. She straight away ran up the stairs and turned a corner to get into her room. As she dropped her stuff onto the ground and threw her body onto her queen sized bed she kicked off her brown boots. There was a feeling of eagerness to check her phone and see if Fionn maybe might have messaged her. So she rolled over to her left side and got her phone out of her bag. She had a few twitter notifications and a few notifications from different social media apps but one notification stood out the most.

@fionnwofficial messaged you (3)

Alice smiled as she read the notification and could feel her heart strings being pulled. For some reason, this still felt like a dream to her. She unlocked her phone and opens the notification.

fionn: goodmorning alice

fionn: i don't think you would be sleeping at 12pm los angeles time so I'm guessing you're out somewhere

fionn: it's 12am now in France, I'm probably going to sleep soon but i will wait another hour for you

Her heart sunk a bit as she read the last message, she had completely forgotten about the different time zones. And it completely sucked.

ali: hey!

ali: I'm sorry i didn't reply earlier, i would've but i was working. i work every tuesday and thursday from 9am to 3pm.

ali: if you're sleeping i completely understand

ali: hope you have a good sleep x
