my phone vibrates against my dressing table awakening me from my sleep, I sigh getting out of bed shivering from the cold I put the blanket around my body to keep my warm
I rub the sleepiness from my eyes as I walk across the room to get my phone, I know I won't be able to go back asleep so I might as well just stay awake.
The phone has a missed FaceTime from Bradley Simpson. Why is he calling me at 9 in the morning?
I swipe his name and FaceTime him to see what he wants
"Lili"
"Hey Brad" I give him a tired smile, Brad and I have only met a few times but during those times we were very drunk.
"I know it's early and everything but Blake isn't picking up his phone and I just wanted to ask if you two are coming to my Halloween party in 2 days"
"I'll go, should I go ask Blake is he's coming?"
"Please" he does his typical cute smirk, I walk out my bedroom and knock on Blake's door
"Come in" He replies, I open the door still on the call to Brad. Blake is lying there in just his underwear with his face squished into the pillow
"Brad wants to know if you'll come his Halloween party in 2 days"
"Yeah why not"
"Yesssss" Brad yells through the phone
"Do we have to dress up?" I ask
"Yeah"
"They're the best kind of parties! I'm so excited" I happily squeal
"Okay I've gotta call reece and see if him and George are going, so I'll talk to you later"
"Okay goodbye brad" I wave to my phone and he waves back
"Have a nice day darlin" he replies ending the call, I put my phone in the hoodie pocket and look up at Blake
"It's too early lil" Blake face plants his pillow once again
"I know" I look at the time on my phone and it says 9:20am, I would usually be up this early but I don't have any classes today so I would've had a sleep in until brads call woken me.
"Can you wake me up at 11 and we can go costume shopping"
"Just set an alarm"
"My phone is too far" he groans keeping his face in his pillow
"Hey Siri, set an alarm for 11 am" I loudly say and his phone sets the alarm for him
"Thank you" He mumbles cuddling his pillow

We arrive at the costume store and Blake has his hands in his black puffy coat as we walk around looking for outfits to wear tomorrow
"What do you wanna dress as?" He asks gently touching the costumes as me walk past them
"Something that's cute but not childish" I reply, we're currently in the adult section which isn't very family friendly
"I think you should wear this" Blake point to a costume which is a lace bra and a lace thong which is connected to thigh high socks
"Well if I wear that you have to wear this" I grab a mankini and pass it to him
"No fucking way" he chucks it back on me, I burst out laughing tears coming out of my eyes
"Please" I hold onto his arm swinging it side to side, a smile forms on his lips which he quickly hides by looking down at his feet.
"Not in a billion years" he smirks
"Pretty pretty please" I flutter my eyelashes causing us both to erupt into laughter
"As much as that's almost working" he points to my eyes "nope" he turns around and walks over to the non-sexual costumes
It's been 20 minutes and I've picked my costume but Blake is being picky and can't decide what he wants to wear. My outfit is a black leather suit because I want to be Storm from x-men, I already have the wig at the apartment since I knew it would come in handy and if I'm being honest when I wear it I feel like the baddest bitch.
"I'm just gonna wear a shirt and pants" he gives up and turns to me
"Blake we've been in here ages and you decide you're just gonna wear clothes you already own"
"Yes" he bluntly replies
"Dickhead" I lightly push him
"Do you know anyone who's good at Halloween makeup?" He asks scrolling through his phone looking at Halloween makeup ideas
"Me"
"Are you sure?" He questions looking directly at me whilst furrowing his eyebrows
"Yes Blake I'm sure I qualified in sfx and makeup that's what I went to college for"
"That makes sense" he replies turning his phone off and putting it in his pocket
"Why?"
"Because your makeups always nice" he looks at me and smiles lightly
"Look at you being nice to me for once, but thank you" I joke
We walk over to the cashier and I pay £30 for the leather suit, I'm paying all this money just to wear the costume once fuck. We leave the shop and stroll down the cold streets of London
"I miss being younger because I would've had my costume planned out 3 months in advance" I sigh thinking of the old times when I actually made an effort instead of planning everything last minute.
"I guess you really loved Halloween"
"I still love it, it's the best holiday"
"Christmas is the best holiday" he snaps
"Halloween is" I reply causing a fake scene
"if we were a film we would be the nightmare before christmas" he smiles as we squeeze through the crowds of people. I always forget we live in the one of the most popular place in england.
"THATS MY FAVOURITE FILM!" I get overly excited, it's been my favourite film since I was a child I've watched it over a hundred times and I probably know the script of by heart.
"You're literally a child" he laughs
