Always You || Simon Minter (miniminter)

Chapter 8

We head back into the house, "I'm going to go edit this video, if you go back out don't die," Jide hits me on the shoulder before running upstairs, what a strange boy. I go through to the kitchen and I get my self a glass of water before taking a seat on one of the bar stools. What a day I've had, I can't believe what JJ had done for me, I'll never ever forget this.

I take my phone out and see that Simon and Josh have both posted videos on their Instagram story of me and my car, I look so happy for once, I feel happy again. "Hey," I get a fright as a pair of hands land on my shoulders, shaking me a little, I look up to meet a big pair of blue eyes. "Hi," I smile, he smiles back and takes a seat next to me.

"You need to show me how you drive, I have a nice spot we can go to if you're willing?" He raises an eyebrow, almost as if he's challenging me. I think about what Jide said for a minute, I know that I like simon I am fully aware of that but I also know that simon does not like me, he sees me as JJ's other best friend.

I look over at him and nod, "Right im gonna go grab a hoodie so you go warm the car up," He smiles and heads upstairs, I go outside and just admire the car for a minute, I can't believe Jide done this. I haven't been here for that long either, I need to do something for Jide I'm return. I get in the car and turn the engine on, hardly containing my excitement when I hear the engine roar to life.

The passenger door opens and a smiling blonde gets in next to me, "didn't realise how small these cars were," Simon laughs while he moves the seat back as far as it can go. He turns to me once he's settled and he just smiles, his classic adorable dimple smile, "just drive and I'll tell you where to go," I nod in agreement and I reverse out of the drive way, curious as to where we're going.

We drive in silence for about 10 minutes, it was a comfortable silence to say the least, I was just enjoying having him here. "Turn left here, then pull up over there," Simon has taken us up a hill, a road winding round to the top, I stop where he tells me to and I am mesmerised. You can see the majority of the outskirts of London, in the distance you can see Big Ben and London Eye but from here they are tiny, "Simon this is amazing," I mumble, at a loss for words.

I can hear him smile, he's proud of himself, "I used to come up here a lot just when I wanted peace and quiet from that house," he half laughs, taking off his seatbelt he turns to face me, I do the same.

"Christmas is coming up, what are you doing?" Simon questions me, I honestly hadn't thought that far ahead. "I guess I'll just go home," I shrug, knowing I don't want to go home I know these boys have families to go home to for the holidays, I no longer don't. He frowns slightly, his bright blue eyes turn grey, sad, "where do you live?" I completely forgot that I would have to go home, what would I even do for Christmas?

"I currently stay in Manchester, I grew up in Watford but I moved away before we went to high school. Which is why you and I don't know each other," he looked surprised, I thought he knew that Jide and I grew up together, he opened his mouth as if to stay something, but stopping for a second, "So if you would've stayed, you would've been at the same school as us?" He breathes.

He sounds almost disappointed, I nod and he frowns slightly. "That's kinda sad," he's right it is, if I was able to see Jide more often and I would've made new friends like Simon and I would've been with Jide through everything, been by his side.

We sit and talk for a while before we both step out of the car and sit on the car bonet, taking in the view. "This is honestly amazing Simon," I look up at him, catching his stare. He truly is beautiful, I've never truly realised it until now, the way his eyes gleam in the moonlight, his smile wide and welcoming.

"It is isn't it," he speaks softly, I turn to look back at the view, feeling his eyes on me at all times. "Here, since we can now let's take a picture!" He exclaims. Taking out his phone, he he grabs my arm and pulls me forward slightly so we are standing a little away from my car, he swiftly wraps an arm around my shoulders and pulls me closer to him. "Smile," he rests his cheek on my head, giving the camera a bright smile while squeezing me, I laugh and he takes the photo.

It's Simon and I with my new car in the background, we both look happy. Simons arm is still round me as I watch him post the photo to his Instagram,

@miniminter : @KSI and I bought Millie a car! Go check out my latest video to see her reaction, it was quite cute.

"Wait you helped pay for it?" I turn round so I am standing in front of him as he leans against the car, I can't believe he payed for it too. He laughs awkwardly and runs a hand though his hair, making it messier.

"I mean, yeah. It was my idea to get you a car, I thought it would help," he shrugs and looks away from me, avoiding eye contact. I am shocked, my heart starts pounding in my chest, I feel my blood heat up as I find my self at a complete and utter loss for words. I wrap my arms around his stomach and bury my face into his chest, giving him a hug. I hear his heart beat speed up too, he eventually wraps his arms around me and we just stand there for what feels like forever, in each others arms.

"Listen Amelia, if you want to stay at the house for Christmas, I'm sure we can stay with you. We'll have a sidemen Christmas," Simon pulls away slightly, arms still around me he looks down, I look up and smile slightly.

"Sure, I'm good with that," I almost whisper, still in his arms. I think Jide might be right about something for once.
