Welcome To L.A

Chapter 16

RING!! RING!! RING!!

I slammed my hand out to grab my phone and turn the god awful sound of my alarm off. I groaned and threw my phone to the end of my bed, wanting nothing more but to close my eyes again and fall back to sleep.

I stayed up until the early hours of the morning watching Law and Order SVU, I knew it was the wrong thing to do, but did I stop? Of course not, it's me.

I sat up and reached for my phone. What better way to start your morning than scrolling through Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat.

I went to unlock my phone when I realised I had 2 missed calls and a message from... David? At 3am?

'Call me when you get this' read the text. Immediately, I started thinking about all the things I could've done wrong, but there was nothing. Nothing at all.

The only things I'd been doing lately was going to work and occasionally venturing out for a walk.

Apart from that I was cosied up in my living room waiting for the time of day where the U.K and L.A crossed over so I could speak to everyone at home.

I pressed on his contact name, and then the phone emoji in order to call him back. If I'd have left it my anxiety would've played out too much.

After a few rings, David finally answered.

"H-Hello?" He yawned, his voice was raspy and it sounded like I definitely woke him up.

"Oh shit David I'm sorry, go back to sleep I'll ring you later"

"No no, what's up are you okay?" He sounded poorly, I'm not sure if it was because he was actually unwell or he'd just woken up.

I readjusted myself on the bed in preparation for the bad news. "You rung last night,twice...and messaged me to call?"

David cursed and started laughing. "Hey I'm sorry about that. I was pretty drunk. I wanted you to come over and chill with me and the guys."

I sighed with relief, thank god. I thought something bad had happened. "Ah okay, well next time ask me before the early hours of the morning. Have fun nursing your hangover!"

David laughed. "I'd still like to see you, you know"

I raised my eyebrows. "Yeah?"

I propped myself up in my bed and stretched out my legs. I looked over at the clock and it was 9am.

"Wanna be the best ever and come over and nurse my hangover for me? I'll get us all the takeout in the world and we can sit and watch movies in our pyjamas all day. It'll be fun!"

The further into his sentence he got, the more excited he sounded, which make me giggle down the phone.

"Okay sure, I'll come and have a pyjama/hungover not hungover day with you. Let me shower first and I'll come straight over"

David cheered down the phone. "See you soon beautiful!" And with that, he hung up.

I put the phone down on my bed and smiled to myself. Well, this day didn't seem to be so bad after all.

I got up out of bed and walked over to my white chest of drawers, the coldness of the wooden floor reminding me that I must invest in some slippers.

I wanted to find some pyjamas that weren't too scatty, but didn't scream 'I've made an effort!'

I settled with a pink and white playboy cycling short and baggy t-shirt co-ord, because all of my pyjamas either screamed 'abstinence' or 'impregnate me, daddy'. There was no in between.

After showering and shoving my clothes on, I decided I wasn't going to wear makeup. If we were just lounging about all day then it would end up looking crusty anyway. Plus, David had seen me barefaced before and he didn't seem that fussed.

I grabbed my phone off of the side and slipped on my black slides with the massive fur section over the toe. I looked like the most basic white bitch you could imagine.
