Brad's POV
'Shhh we're going to wake the neighbours.' I giggled as Ellie made out with me in the corridor before we got into my apartment.I finally opened the door as we stumbled in. I dragged her to my bedroom and I star jumped onto the bed, landing flat on my stomach.
I then lay with my head against the headboard as I watched Eloise grab one of my hoodies and throw it over her body with only her underwear on.
'You're so beautiful.' I said as she came closer to me.
'Oh stop it you.' She said in a man voice.
'I'm being serious El.' I said seriously causing her eyes to lock with mine.
She pulled me into a tight embrace. 'Thank you.' She said, barely audible.
'What for?' I asked slightly confused.
'Nobody ever complements me like you do.' She said as she pulled away and brushed curls that had fallen on my forehead.
'Well I'm glad I can do it now.' I grinned as I rubbed my nose against hers, stealing a quick kiss.
'Get yourself comfy whilst I make us a cuppa.' I told her as she nodded before climbing under my sheets.
Once I'd made the tea I went back to my room. She was lay under my sheets, with her head poking out of the top.
She smiled and sat up, 'Thank you.' She chirped, resting her back against my headboard.
I put my cup on the bedside table before handing Ellie her cup.
Within a minute I was in my boxers, climbing under the sheets and cuddling up to her.
'It's so weird not having to worry about putting Lays to bed and feeding her and changing her.' She said as we drank our tea.
'You deserve a break though.' I said as she sighed. 'If you ever want to go out for a night you know that I'd be more than happy to watch her as well.' I told her.
'Thank you.' She said as she reached up and kissed me.
No matter how many times she kissed me, it felt like the first time over and over again.
'Do you want to take a trip to Sheffield tomorrow?' I asked.
'I'd love that.' She smiled as he placed her now empty cup on the bed side table.
'It can be like a date day, seeing as we haven't been out on an official one.' I told her as I brushed my fingers through her hair.
'Yeah I've been waiting for that date you promised me donkeys ago.' I looked to see her grinning away, obviously amused.
Her head rested on my bare chest as she tilted her head so she could see me.
'Watch your attitude missy or I'll take Layla on a day out rather than you.' I joked as she stuck her tongue out at me.
'She doesn't like you.' She said sitting up with her back now against the headboard as she folded her arms.
'Oh yeah, I can't wait until she can speak you know.' I said watching her facial expression. 'I'll teach her all the words she needs to know.'
She looked to see me grinning. 'No you won't!' She exclaimed as she hit me lightly. 'Brad you're not teaching my daughter to swear!'
'What made you assume it would be that? It could've been the colours of the rainbow.' I challenged as she gave me an unamused glare.
'Joking, it would've been how beautiful her mum is.' I said as I rubbed my nose against hers.
'Ew.' She said as she scrunched her nose up, cringing at what I had just said.
