29. "Do you ever stop touring?"

I woke up to a text from Brad telling me to meet him downstairs in the kitchen along with his dad and my mum.

I put on tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie and go downstairs. I sit at the dining table next to Brad with our parents opposite us.

"So what did you want to tell us?" I ask whilst sipping my tea.

"Well um it's a long way away but we're going on tour again in November." Brad says. I immediately freeze and just stare at him but he's currently just looking down fiddling with his rings on his hand.

"We're going around the whole of Europe and we are away for the whole month." Brad continues.

"It's a shame you're away again but I hope you have fun with the boys." Derek says.

"You'll have a lot of fun Bradley." My mum says. She now knows that Brad's in The Vamps but I made sure she didn't say anything to Brad like the fact I was obsessed with them when they first released Meet The Vamps.

Brad turns to look at me to wait for my response but I just stand up and walk to the kitchen to put my mug in the sink.

I hear footsteps behind me and figure it's Brad.

Before he can say anything "do you ever stop touring?" I say with my back to him.

"Please don't be mad at me." I hear a soft voice say from behind me. "I'm sorry but it's what I do for a living." he says into my neck and places a small kiss as he presses his chest against my back and wraps his arms around my stomach.

"It's fine Brad it's your job, I get it, just don't be sorry." I say turning in his arms so I'm facing him, trying to put on the best smile I can.

"Look, I spoke to Joe a few days ago when he told me the news and he told me Ana and Kirstie are joining us on the tour. He said you can come if you want. I spoke to our parents, especially your mum, and they said it's fine, so if you'd like to, would you like to come with me?" Brad says running his hands down my arms until they find my hands where he links our fingers.

I sigh and look down at our fingers intertwined together. "Brad I can't." I say almost at a whisper.

"Why though?" Brad says in the same tone to me as he lifts my chin up with his fingers.

"I have uni Brad, I start in September. I can't just leave uni for a whole month." I say looking at him. "You'll have fun, don't worry about me." I say smiling faintly.

"But I'll miss you." He says as he tucks a piece of hair behind my ear.

"I'll miss you too" I say as I hug him and bury my head into his neck.

Our parents went out for the day to London to go shopping so me and Brad had the house to ourselves.

I made my way downstairs and started flicking through Netflix until I feel the sofa dip next to me.

Brad POV

I hear the tv on downstairs so throw on a hoodie and go down to join Sophie. I sit next to her on the sofa and take in all her features. Her naturally curly brown hair, her blue eyes and olive skin colour. She's so perfect in every way.

"You joining me?" She asks whilst still going through Netflix.

"If you don't mind?" I say while moving closer to her and putting my arm behind her resting on the sofa.

She just smiles and shakes her head as she picks a movie. She chooses Mamma Mia which I don't really mind because then again I'll watch anything to see her happy.

About half an hour into the film Sophie's head is on my shoulder, her arm draped across my chest and she's asleep. I rest my head on hers and listen to her soft breaths.

I lift my head up and start to run my fingers through her hair gently.

"Mmmh." I hear Sophie mumble as she buries her head into my chest.

I stop stroking her hair as I presume I'm waking her so I remove my hand from her hair and place it on her waist instead.

She gently hits my chest with her hand "keep going." She mumbles.

I chuckle slightly and continue to run my fingers through her hair. After a while, she slowly lifts her head up and I continue to look at the tv. She places her hand on my cheek which causes me to look at her. Slowly she leans in and closes the gap between us.

Our lips slowly move together and we reposition so she's lying down on the sofa and I'm hovering over her in between her legs. Her hands roam over my body and go under my hoodie. One of my hands placed on her waist and the other above her head to keep me upright.

My tongue enters her mouth and she allows entrance. We continue kissing messily and heavily until Sophie slows it down and brings her hands up to my hair and tugs on my curls gently.

She pulls away from the kiss and just stares into my eyes. "Bradley." She says just above a whisper.

"I think I love you." She says to me.

I stay hovered above her and just look into her blue eyes and a smile creeps upon my face.

"Well, Sophie, I know I love you." I say back to her. Her cheeks flush pink and she smiles and put her hands in front of her face to cover herself.

I move her hands and kiss her again before we both sit up and continue watching the last 20 or so minutes of Mamma Mia before noticing it's just gone lunchtime and we're both pretty hungry.

We decide on ordering Dominos pizza and spend the rest of the day just enjoying each other's company.

I know it's only August and I go away on tour  in November but Sophie leaves for uni in September, meaning I have less than a month with her before she goes to London.

The fact we've both said I love you to each other, well Sophie sort of said it, just makes me realise how much I will actually miss her. And maybe, just maybe, it's time to ask her to be my girlfriend...

Hey guys new update for you all! I've planned the final 6 chapters and I can't believe this is coming to an end :( I started writing this in February 2018 (I think) and it's now November 2018. I can't believe it's taken me 9 months to write 29 chapters! I'm a slow writer lol

On different news... WHO WATCHED JAMES ON IM A CELEBRITY TONIGHT? He was so good and supportive in the first challenge and although I know he will miss Kirstie and his family and the boys loads, he will do us proud! Make sure you all vote to keep him in the show!

It's on ITV every night at 9pm GMT. Not sure how international viewers can watch it but I'm sure it'll be uploaded to YouTube at some point.

Anyway hope you all had/have a good day and I'll see you in a week with a new chapter! ❤️
