Hidden secret

Make that two tiffins and two muffins

It was 1 o'clock in the morning when Belle clambered sleepily out of bed she tied her hair in a bun shoved on some trackies and walked down the hallway.Belle had offered to take Eddie,his mum and dad and two brothers to Heathrow airport. Millie was stood excited by the door."how am I going to get these 3 suitcases into my Clio"mumbled Belle sleepily. Belle had arranged to drive the Clio to Eddie's flat where his family had come to meet them ready for the holiday. Belle had been told to drive there ford galaxy which had 7 seats to accommodate the family.

Belle helped lug the suitcases down the stairs when Millie said "it was a good job Alex realised he had been a prat and asked Hollie back home I don't think she would have stayed in that flat alone"

"Yes she is rather scared of the flat"I laughed

"I am still scared of these flats sometimes, they do however need to fix the lifts"muttered Millie dragging the suitcase down the last flight of stairs

"I second you on the lift, I used to be scared of the flats but I guess I got used to it" mumbled Belle yawning as they reached the bottom.

The girls forced the suitcases into the Clio and with Belle at the wheel they pulled out of the parking lot after the ten minute drive the girls arrived at Eddies. Eddies dad greeted them giving Belle the key to the Galaxy, Belle had never driven anything so big before she was a tad nervous but took the keys. Eddie helped Millie pile the suitcases into the car.

"Cor what you got here the kitchen sink" he said lifting up a suitcase while grabbing the handle of one that Millie was sitting on and pulling it her still sitting towards the car. Meanwhile Belle introduced herself to Callum and John, Eddies brothers. With everyone in the car Belle reversed out of the drive and headed off for Heathrow. Eddies dad who was sat next to her insisted they had a full conversation about her love life.

"Got anyone yet" queried the man

"Sorry" said Belle aware that Eddie's mum was asleep and Millie was mid snog with Eddie so the only people talking was her,Callum,John and Eddie's dad.

"Are you currently dating someone?"repeated the man

Belle thought that was a odd first question but thought she should answer to stay on the good side of the man after all if she damaged his car.... " oh well I have been single for a while but the other day I started dating a boy called Ethan"

"Hmm said the man I am obviously with Marie my wife" he said signalling to the woman behind"John is with a lovely girl called Ellie"

"Emma"corrected the older or the two brothers

The man continued " oh whoever she is. Callum is single and as for Edward well you know all about him"

I laughed "yes" I said happy to be pulling into the airport drop off bay the happy couple and family left the car and Belle drove away. It was absolute hell on the way back a lorry had overturned she was caught in a 3 hour traffic jam, the girl saw a service station turn off that declared it had a costa the girl drove in parked the car and went inside.

She was the only one in the Costa well she guessed no one came in at 3 o'clock in the morning a man around 20 with jet black hair appeared. "What can I get you love?Did you know everything is 1/2 price between 1 and 5 and all cakes and biscuits are 50p "

Belle was shocked"no I didn't" she said thinking for a moment, when I phone bleeped. She picked it up to read the message, she had text Ethan about 5 minuets ago but she presumed he would be asleep.

'Hi babe you okay? I heard my phone go off, you want to meet up? What now?"

I instantly replied explaining the traffic jam and I was keen to see him again.I said he was welcome round mine.

He replied "Aww babe, I will come round yours be there in 30 mins Hunnie you will get back in that time"

I taped in "yeah sure, babes I am at a Costa a fancy anything"

"Your sure know how to impress me could I have a cortado and a caramel shortbread will pay you when I get back"

"Honestly babe I will pay" replied the girl turning to the man a cortado , a Belgium chocolate cooler ,two caramel shortbreads , a triple chocolate muffin and a tiffin please. The boy boxes up her cakes before she said actually make that 2 tiffins and 2 muffins that's 5.75 please said the man. Belle left feeling proud of her purchase she normally spent that on one cooler and muffin

The girl placed her goodies carefully on the seat and drove off while she had been waiting she remembered a shortcut she had used once before she arrived at Eddie's were she put the keys in the secret place and jumped in her Clio. As she reach the flat she realised behind her was a white BMW, as she turned into the parking lots by the flats. It must be Ethan he certainly wasn't afraid to be seen in such a grotty car park.

Both people parked there rather different cars and got out, Ethan took her hand and helped her remove her goodies. "It's so good of you to wake up for me, I felt so alone I needed someone"she was stopped by Ethan putting a finger to her lips

"I am here whenever you need me,wow how much did you buy!" He said gently

As we went inside I explained to him about the offer and he laughed "never heard that one before maybe he just fancied treating a beautiful girl like you to a good deal, I wouldn't be able to resist it"
