The Next Day ~ Tuesday 23rd January

I woke up this morning to a missed call along with some messages from Andy.
I quickly freshened up before calling him back.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked as soon as the lines connected.
"Hi, I need to know if you have anything planned for Rye's birthday tomorrow, we were thinking of organising a meal for him." He stated.
"Way ahead of you," I giggled, "I've got in touch with some of his best mates from back home along with his mum, dad and that, to make sure they are free tomorrow evening. I just need to message everyone the address of the place we are going to."
"Wow you're a legend," he laughed, "is your Dad or anyone coming?"
"Yeah my Dad and Brad made sure they were free that evening." I explained.
"Okay, where are we planning on going?" Andy asked.
"Em I'm not too sure, I was thinking we could just go to TGI Friday's or something." I replied, at this point I had gone downstairs and into the kitchen, putting him on loud speaker as I poured myself a bowl of cereal.
"TGI's sounds perfect." He concluded, bringing a smile to my face.

After a couple more minutes just finalising a few things, we ended the call and I got ready for the day.

Wednesday 24th January 2018

The first thing I did when I woke up this morning, was send a text to Rye.

Me ~ Happy Birthday! I love you so much, have an amazing day❤️ Sorry I can't be with you today but I hope it's great nevertheless. I'm sure the boys and Blair will make it a special day like usual, I LOVE YOUUUU💓xxxx

Even though it was cringey, I didn't care, it was my boyfriend's birthday and he thinks I won't be seeing him at all today, so I'm technically allowed to be.

Not long after I sent the message, he sent a reply back.

Rye💜~ Thank you baby, I wish you could be here with me today but we'll see each other in a couple days instead. I'm sure you've been looking after yourself and I hope you are fully okay now💗
I love you, I love you, I love you😘Xx

Little did he know that we would actually be seeing one another today, accompanied by all his best friends and some of his family. I can't wait to surprise him.

We had to be there at the restaurant before half past 6 so we could be there for Rye's arrival. Therefore this morning and afternoon I had a really relaxed day with Brad where we just watched films, caught up on life and so on.
Dad had originally planned to have the day off work however he was notified this morning that he would have to go in as someone had phoned in sick. But seeing as my dad had promised me he'd come this evening and he didn't want to let me down, nor miss the birthday meal, being the best Dad ever ( a self given title), he went into work at 6am this morning instead of 8 in order to be able to finish 2 hours earlier at 4 pm, meaning he would still be able to make it tonight.

"I'm going to get ready." I told Brad as he lay on the sofa on his phone.
"Why? It's only 3 o'clock." He asked, obviously unknowing of the amount of time it actually takes girls to get ready, even though he should be used to it by now.
"I need to have a shower, wash my hair, then dry my hair, style it, get dressed - and I still have to choose an outfit, and then I need to do my makeup." I babbled, reminding myself of how much I've got to do.
"Okay then, whatever you say. Just don't stress yourself out 'cause I know what you're like sometimes." He replied before I walked out the room and made my way upstairs and into my room.
