The Holiday That Changed My Life

Part Thirty Seven

Normal View

The last three hours in work totally dragged! I'd appointed outfits to each model for the photo shoot and made sure that everything was in place, sending off the designs so that they could be made. I'd also finally confirmed a date for a meeting with the managers of those retailers to sort out release dates and whatnot. But for the last three hours I've been so bored! So I've been sat doodling random designs for the last few hours.

Once I'd had a text from Aston saying that he's sorted the plan for us telling his family, I was a little bit nervous considering it was on Sunday and it wasn't that far away. Plus Astons already told me how close he is to his family and how he thinks the world of them, so that makes me about 10x more nervous and slightly scared.

Five o'clock soon came around and I couldn't leave the office quick enough. None of the girls were home yet so I could go straight to my room and get a shower. After I'd finished drying myself from the shower, I slipped on my pyjama shorts and a vest top before taking my phone off charge and heading into the living room. I made a cup of coffee before sitting on the couch and flicking the TV on. It got to about half past five and the buzzer for our flat rang.

"Who is it?" I asked as I pressed the button.

"Babe it's me, let me up." Aston said through the speaker before I let him up.

Aston soon arrived at our door with a carrier bag in one hand and his other hand behind his back.

"Hey gorgeous." He smiled before pecking my lips quickly, revealing a beautiful bunch of lilies that he'd been hiding behind his back.

"Hey...Ast they're beautiful," I tutted before bringing them up to my nose and smelling them. "Thank you." I smiled before kissing him again.

"You're welcome, I also got you some chocolates and well, basically junk food." He chuckled as he passed me the carrier bag after I'd closed the door.

"Just what I needed after today." I sighed as I put the chocolates into the fridge.

"Tough day?" Aston asked, sitting on the couch.

"Not tough, just boring." I told him, putting the sweets and packet of crisps into the cupboard.

"Boring? I thought you were excited for this range stuff." He frowned as I put the carrier bag into the bin before going into the living room and sitting myself down beside him.

"I am, but everything's been sorted now and I can't really do anything until the designs come back." I shrugged as Aston slipped off his shoes and rested his feet on the coffee table.

"By the way, about the ones I'll be wearing," He started, turning his head to face me. "Can I keep them?"

"Do you do this at every photo shoot? Is this why you have so many clothes?!" I giggled as he shrugged with a smirk. "Yes you can keep them, they're in your size and they won't be used in the shops."

"Great, listen about Sunday,"

"Oh yeah, you said you'd sorted it." I said nervously as Aston took my hand in his.

"Yeah, we're going to my Mum's for tea."

"That doesn't sound too bad." I smiled as I let out a sigh of relief.

"The only thing is, is that the rest of my family's going to be there." He said as he chewed his bottom lip.

"Oh," I mumbled as he squeezed my hand.

"Don't worry about it yeah? They'll love you." Aston smiled as I nodded my head.

"Really?"

"Really. My Mum's excited to meet you already."

We chatted for a little while longer, figuring out how we were telling everyone else. We'd decided that I'd tell my family on Saturday when I went down to visit, Aston wanted to come with me but he had work so he couldn't. So then he suggested that we invite both our families to his house the weekend after, along with both of our groups of friends. Then after the next two weeks we'd be telling the public about us. Aston assured me that it wouldn't be anything big, just a simple tweet and that would be it, but I'm not too sure.

"I've got a question," Aston mused as we were now cuddled up on the couch watching a re run of Friends.

"Sure, go ahead." I said as I turned the TV volume down a little.

"Can I take you out? On a date?" He asked as I sat up slightly to look at him.

"A date?" I smiled as he nodded his head. "We've not been on one since-"

"St Lucia, I know. So what do you say?"

"Yeah it sounds good, when?"

"Hmm, Friday? That way it's before we tell our families."

"Friday's perfect." I smiled before lowering my head to kiss Aston gently.
