It's been a few days and Blake left, he texted me this morning saying he will be back around 2pm so I should make sure I'm not naked but he also said if I want to be naked that's fine...

My bags are all packed for the holiday, it's in 2 days but I'm already so excited. I feel like a little kid on Christmas.

It's currently 1:30pm so Blake should be home soon, I've finished all the work I need to do for my classes so I have nothing left to do other than chill out

I hate being alone because I'm a people person, I've hung out with George and Reece most days but I still have to come home and be alone all night which is sad, I wish all four of us could live in our own place well we probably could for the next uni year but I guess we will have to see how our lives turn out.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"It's open" I shout laying on the couch zoned out watching videos of cows jumping up and down in fields...pure happiness

"Not even going to say hello or give me a hug? okay then" he replies jokingly offended as he opens the door and throws his bags into the hallway

"Oh sorry" I jump up from the couch and collapse into his arms "I've missed you dearly I don't know how I've coped without you the last few days" I say in a fake accent which weirdly sounds like Wendy from Peter Pan as I rest my head on his chest

"Oh sod off" he laughs rubbing my back

"I'm offended"

"I'm offended because you FaceTimed me whilst I was in the shower and I left my phone in the kitchen then you had a full on hour conversation with my sister!"

"I love Abbie for than I love you" I smirk, it's true what I said though. Abbie is the sweetest girl ever even though we mostly talked about what it's like living with Blake and how he can be annoying it was fun.

"Why don't you move in with her then?"

"Maybe I will" I spin around and go back to the couch "Oh by the way we leave to get our train in 3 hours"

"3 hours? I won't even be able to have a nap" he groans dragging his bags across the wooden flooring

"You can nap on the train I will be your personal pillow" i drop my phone onto the table to put all my attention on Blake

"Good now can you come help me pack I'm not good with this kinda thing"

"I thought you were packing at home?" I ask following him into his bedroom which smells like too much cologne

"I was going to but I just brought all my clothes and some new ones because I thought you could help me...please"

"Okay only because you asked so nicely" I joke

I sit on his bedroom floor with him facing me and all his clothes in between us

"Okay so you pack your underwear and a wash bag and I'll pack the clothes but you're obviously going to have to judge them"

It's been an hour and I've packed most of his outfits but he's still packing his appliances really slowly

"You own ninja turtle boxers" I pinch them between my two fingers and show them to Blake trying my hardest not to fully touch them

"Yes and what about it"

"Nothing just a bold fashion statement" I use my pointer finger and thumb to slingshot them at his face, he flinches then grabs them off his face and throws them across the room

"Says the girl who's wearing a one direction T-shirt from 2013" he stares at it, it's faded a lot since I got it when I saw them on tour years ago

"You're just jealous" I huff lying in the pile of clothes behind me which are all folded up neatly

"Blake you only need you're phone charger and laptop with the charger" i groan watching him sit in a pile of plugs and wires, they're all tangled and he's just staring at them hoping they'd magically untangle themselves

"I know"

"Then why's it taking ages for you to sort it out"

"Do I need my guitar?" He asks out of the blue staring at his guitar on the other side of the room

"Nope you can live without it for a few days"

"Can I really though?" He raises an eyebrow

"Yes you can now help me finish packing for YOU" I look at him wearing a snorkel, he looks up from the floor and stares at me in disbelief

He bursts out laughing letting out a little snort which sets me off cry laughing

"Okay okay fuck let's be serious now" he takes off the big goggles to reveal a smaller pair of goggles under the original pair

"I hate you" he giggles covering his eyes to stop laughing, his face is flushed red and he's smiling showing all his pearly whites

"I'll be good now" I take the goggles off and place them next to me, I know they'd be on the floor until we move out because he's a messy person

"It's 8 days worth of clothes we need to pack but I've already packed 4 outfits which I know you'd like" I reply, he always makes me chose his outfits because he can never make up his mind with what he wants to wear and i will tell him if he looks stupid or not.

It's been half an hour and we've finally finished packing everything which means we have an hour to get ready and go to the station

I've gotten a shower and dressed, i cuddle into my fake fur coat as I wait for Blake to finish getting out the shower

"I'll be 10 mins" he runs out the bathroom in just a towel and makes his way into his bedroom, both of our suitcases are at the front door waiting for us to leave.

5 minutes later Blake walks out in all black clothing, Reece and George arrived a minute ago to say their goodbyes

"Okay we've gotta leave now" I check the time on my phone, traveling panics me so much because I hate missing the time we're supposed to be there by

"Awh okay goodbye we will see you when you come back all gorgeous and tanned" Reece sighs hugging me tightly

"Can you bring me in your suitcase?" George grins engulfing me into a hug

"I would if I could" I hug him back as Reece is hugging Blake whispering something into his ear

TRAIN FROM LONDON TO BRIGHTON 5:30

"That's our train" I point up at the sign causing Blake stare at the black sign with orange writing

"Let's go then" he places his backpack onto his suitcase and pushes them along the concrete flooring

We sit in our reserved seats and I get the window seat because it's the best place to sit

"Perfect pillow material" he strokes my coat causing me to giggle

"You really that tired?" I ask watching him yawn and he nods, his eyes filled with sleepy tears and his lips all puffy

"Didn't sleep last night?" I ask and he shakes his head no as he stretches his arms up trying to wake himself up

"How come?" I reply concerned as I stroke a piece of hair out of his eyesight

"No idea my love" he replies causing my heart to skip a beat, he places his head on my shoulder and his hair tickles my cheek making me smile

I quickly snap a picture of him on my phone because he looks adorable but I won't admit that to him
