After Al had puked up the evenings intake of alcohol, we decided to walk back to try and find the others. However there was a problem- we had no clue where we were. "how can we be lost in London?" I ask
"Well its a very big city" Al said
"Look, lets just book a hotel and we can find our way back tomorrow"
"Great plan darl"
I look down the road and point at the nearby building.
"Al look, a hotel!"
"Premier inn? it ain't exactly class..."
"I don't care, its 2 in the fucking morning, I just want a bed"
"Whatever you want love, just don't expect much"
"I've stayed in alot of premier inn's actually, i'm not famous like you so cheap hotels are pretty normal for me" Al chuckled at my speech and then he put his arm around my shoulders.
"Come on, lets check in" Al said as we approched the hotels doors.
Ten minutes later we were in our room. There was only a bed, a TV, a table and a bathroom.
"Welcome to middle class Al"
"I have you know I've stayed in a few places like this before actually" he says smirking at me
"Oh I feel so sorry for you" I say with a hint of sarcasm in my voice
"Ay it won't too bad, I had miles to keep me company"
"What did you two snuggle up in a bed?"
"You'd be surprised love"
Al takes off his blazer and starts to unbutton his shirt. 30 seconds later hes in his underwear and slips under the sheets. I take off my shoes and then join him. "You sleeping in that darl?" He asks raising an eyebrow at me.
"Well I ain't gonna go naked am I?!"
"Darlin, I certainly won't be complaining if you did!"
"Watch it!" I say giving Al a stern look
"Ah darl, I love it when you get all serious" he says winking at me
"Ok night night Al, I think you may need to sober up a little"
"Night Jennifer Helders"
"Night Alexander David Turner" I switched the light off and we were surrounded by darkness...
I woke up to Al's fucking snoring. I checked my phone: 5:05am. I chuckle to my self and start singing the song quietly.
"I'm going back to 505 if its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive"
I continued to sing under my breath the next few verses,
"But I crumple completely when you cry, it seems like once again you have to greet me with goodbye"
"Since when do know the lines to 505 love?"
I jumped, spooked by Alex's voice. I immediately went bright red
"You got a good voice darl, maybe we should duet sometime"
"Al, don't take this the wrong way but thats a stupid idea"
"It is?"
"Yeah, I sound like a cat being strangled compared to you"
"Well, you're better than you think love" Al gives me a sweet smile and I smile back
"What are you doing up so early anyway?" He asks me
"Your flaming snoring thats what!"
"Hey, I do not snore!"
"You do and theres no point denying it" Al paused for a moment, he was probably trying to think of a comeback. Finally he spoke, " I'm too tired to defend myself so you win darl, I do snore" I chuckled and then I smirked at him.
"Anyway, i'm gonna try and sleep some more now, can you promise me one thing?" I ask
"Whats that darlin'?"
"Promise me that you will fall asleep after me so I don't have to hear you snore?" Al started laughing, I felt kinda foolish but I was only joking around
"Sure thing, anything for you love"
"Thanks al" I gave him a quick friendly hug and then I turned off the lights.
When I woke Al wasn't by my side. I slowly perched myself up, rubbing my eyes in the process. I looked down at my hands only to find black smudges rubbed in them. Shit. I got up and ran into the bathroom to examine the state of my face. My eyes were completely black- I looked like a panda. My lipstick was smudged across my face so i looked like the joker aswell. Basically I didn't look good. I splashed my face with water to try and rub of my clown make up but it didn't quite do the trick, I still had faded make up marks. So I decided to take a shower to try and get the rest if it off. I took off my clothes and jumped in the shower. It was very refreshing, its nice to feel fresh after a late night out. After about 5 minutes I turned off the water and grabbed a towel. "Wheres Alex?" i thought to myself. I hope he hasn't left me, after all I have no clue where we are. I walked back into the main part of the room to get changed. I put on my underwear and then dropped the towel from my body. Since I have no change of clothes I had to put on my outfit from last night, however before I could put on my dress I was startled by a voice of a sheffield lad. "Darlin, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to disturb you..."
I instantly went bright red and grabbed the towel to cover myself up. Al actually looked quite flustered and embarrassed, which isn't like him. "I'll just be in here..." Al said as he clumsily went into the bathroom. I quickly slipped on my dress so Alex wasn't waiting in the bathroom for to long.
"You done love?" Al shouted
"Yeah you can come out" chuckling after I spoke
"Sorry about earlier" he said with a smile
"Oh its fine don't worry about it, where were you anyway?"
"Oh I just went out for a smoke, thought you will still be sleeping when I got back"
"How you feeling?" I ask
"Heads bangin, but generally alright, what about you?"
"Pretty tired actually"
"Well why don't you put your head down for a bit, we can leave at whatever time"
"No its alright, I kinda wanna get back to the lads" I say
"Whatever you want love, shall we leave now then?"
"We may aswell" He smiles at me and I smile back, Al seems very sweet this morning. I like that.
