Love's Not A Competion

Live Shows

"I don't wanna!" I moaned when the alarm clock went off at 7am.

"Too early!" Ricky groaned next to me.

We eventually dragged ourselves out of bed after much grumbling and yawning. I tied my ruffled hair up in a bun and stepped into the shower. Brr! The water was always so cold at first. As it warmed up I stepped back under and closed my eyes as the heat ran down my back. I heard the door open and looked up grumpily.

"Room for another?" Ricky asked as he got in looking equally sleepy and grumpy.

"We don't have time for that, Rick." I sighed.

"Nothing sexual, I just wanted to save water and wash my hair." he replied.

I gave my face a quick wash before stepping over to let him under the water. This was going to be difficult. There was a lot of "oh sorry" and "I can't move" as we washed. I lathered up some of my coconut shampoo and rubbed it into his hair. I know he used it when I wasn't there even though he wouldn't admit it. The yummy smelling hair was the biggest giveaway.

In return he lathered me up in shower gel. Hmm, nothing sexual was it? I thought as his hands lingered in places.

"I used this stuff by accident the other day. Although I was a bit glittery and girly I quite liked smelling like you." he smiled.

I laughed. I'd accept that as admitting to shampoo stealing too. I rubbed him down with the shower gel before we shuffled around a bit more to rinse off. I gave him a quick kiss before squirming my way out of the cramped shower.

"Love you sexy lady!" he said and slapped my bare bottom as I left.

"Richard!" I gasped, pretending to be shocked.

I got dressed in some casual jeans and a tshirt and headed downstairs to get breakfast. I'd put a dress in a suit bag to change into for the live show later. I made the mistake of lying the bag on the floor in the hall last night and now found Fatty asleep on it and surrounded by his ginger fluff. Everything looks better with cat fur on it apparently. I'd also put a make up bag out so I could do my make up at the studios and was impressed Tibby hadn't managed to break into it. She loved to try to eat my brushes.

I found a text from my mum on my phone which made me laugh. "Ooo, Ricky's grown a beard! Very handsome! Xx"

I replied to her text message with "I know! I've just kissed said beard. It was scratchy! Xx"

I didn't agree with my mother about the beard but he did.

"My mum says you look handsome with the beard." I told him as he joined me in the kitchen for breakfast.

After breakfast we were driven to the studio in a posh car where there was a lot of waiting around. The other coaches were mingling when we got there. Tom winked at me and asked how I was. I loved his Welsh accent which always made me smile. Will was looking surprisingly underdressed compared to his usual sci-fi style look and greeted me and Ricky with a fist bump. His fist bumps always made me giggle cose I felt too much of a skinny white girl to look cool doing it. Kylie ran over to me, impressive in stilettos, and pulled me into a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She'd barely looked at me when we'd met before. I saw Ricky raise an eyebrow to this as I looked over her shoulder. It was my turn to raise an eyebrow when she only gave him a quick hug with no kiss.

"I'm going to get a coffee. Do you want anything?" he asked when we got to his huge dressing room. This was about three times the size of the living area in my flat!

"I'll have a hot chocolate please darling." I replied.

He returned a few minuets later with a tray full of things.
