Sorry it's a short one!

Lou grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Lux. “What did you mean by pretty Lux?” she smiled up at her mum. “Aunty Jaz and Uncle Olly.” She smiled away to herself swinging her legs. I went up to my bedroom to dry off and get changed. “I’m confused on what Lux means...” I turned and looked at Olly. “Me too, I mean she’s only six...” he nodded. I got up and walked over to Olly. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me. “God you’re shivering!” I nodded. He pulled me close and hugged me tight. “Sorry babe, I didn’t realise you were this cold...” I cuddled up to him in my towel. “I’ll be alright...” he rubbed his hands up and down my arms to try and regain my warmth. After a cuddle I dried my hair while Olly went to see everyone again. At least I could think about what Lux said. It was playing on my mind. What did she mean? I went back downstairs as everyone was leaving. I said good bye and curled up on the sofa. My head was hurting. “Babe you alright?” I looked up at Olly. “Mmhhmm” he sat beside me rubbing my back. “Come here...” he pulled me up to cuddle him. “Sooo, when do you go back to work?” “SHIT tomorrow I’d completely forgotten.” I might just find a new job. I hate mine. But that still means I have to go in for four weeks. “No way... just call in sick...” I nodded there was no way I wanted to go back there. Not with the bitch. She’d make fun of me and find a way to make me feel bad. She always does. I got a phone call. I went to take it. I literally screamed and ran back into the front room. “Olly I’ve got the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here NOW job!!” he got up. “WHAT?! That’s great!” he hugged me. “I’m so proud of you!” “Thanks Ol’s” I smiled. “Make sure you ring people and tell them!” I sighed. “I can’t it has to stay secret. You can’t tell anybody. Not even Caroline. If this gets out I’m out of the job.” He looked at me. “Oh.” I nodded. “Still really proud of you!” he hugged me again. “So when do you start?” “Four weeks time...” his smile faded a little. “Olly, it’s not going to be like last time...” I started. I never finished. He ran out. Out of the house and down into the park. I stood there in shock. What just happened?
