Yesterday we arrived home after a stressful plane journey and many goodbyes to my family, It's Saturday which means we have no university today which I am so thankful for but that doesn't mean I can't study for the amount of work I missed whilst in Bali.
We got home around 4am so we haven't had the chance to see Reece or George yet but they said they'll come over when we're awake because we're still adjusting to the timezone.
"Reece and George said they're on their way" Blake says putting a hoodie over his head, I happily squeal at the thought of seeing them again.
I hear a knock on the door which causes me to run and quickly open it to reveal the two happy boys with gigantic smiles on their faces, I take their hands and bring them both into the apartment.
"Oh my god hi! How was the trip!" Reece says pulling me into a tight hug and keeping me against his chest for a few seconds before letting me go
"It was amazing but you already know that" I giggle talking about how we FaceTimed almost everyday.
"Okay so we have thought of something and you can't say no" George rubs his hands together making me confused
"What is it?" Blake says sitting on the couch
"We're having a welcome home party...well a small get together which is us and Darcie because I don't feel like being around many drunk people" he quickly replies trying to get all his words out at once
"I'm up for it" I smile, we haven't all had time together in ages so I think it's a good idea for us to go out as a family.
•••
I walk out the room wearing a white cropped T-shirt and yellow skirt, I didn't really make an effort today because it's only a small gathering at Reece's and George's apartment. Blake walks out the room wearing a mustard coloured shirt and black jeans, I smile at our sorta matching outfits.
"Ready to go?"
"Yeah" i breathily reply grabbing my phone and placing it into the waistline of my skirt, we walk through the empty hallways and make our way outside their door.
George opens the door holding two shots in his hands with a humongous grin on his face, he reaches out placing them in each of our hands and says we can't come in until we've drank them, so we do as he says and take the shot in one go causing my throat to burn.
I am pretty tipsy even though I have drank only a little bit, I guess it's because I forgot to eat today since I've been so stressed with my work
The only people here are Blake, Reece, George, Darcie and I. Which I prefer than the larger parties they usually have because I feel more safe and I love everyone in this room.
I'm standing up facing Darcie whilst she sits on the couch with a joint between her fingers
"Hey lil wanna try something?"
"Depends what it is" I giggle swaying side to side
"Come here" she says taking the joint between her lips and in hailing it, she point her finger out to me and signals me to go over to her at this point I already know what she's doing so I giggle and face her whilst the lads look at us with wide eyes
She takes a rip and then gets close to my mouth causing our lips to slightly touch then she blows the smoke into my mouth which I inhale then blow up into the air. We both chuckle at what we just did, I turn back and see George and Blake standing there with their jaws dropped.
"What?" Darcie says exhaling smoke from her nose
"That was hot" George murmurs as Blake's cheeks blush, he turns around and walks into the bathroom suspiciously.
I shrug my shoulders and sit on the couch next to Darcie and George who have started making out I sigh chugging the rest of my drink and walking out the room to find the voices of Reece and Blake
"Just do it" Reece whispers as I creak open the door
"Please don't say you guys are having sex I don't feel like fifth wheeling" I groan opening the door wide enough to see them sitting on the edge of the bed
"We're not fucking" Reece drunkly giggles as I sit between them
"I'm not interrupting anything am I? I can leave if you guys want me too" I lay down letting the alcohol take over my body
"Nope" Blake replies, I look at him watching his calm expression, he looks like a Disney Prince. My dream has me fucked up because all I want to do is kiss him but I can't.
"Well I'm going to refill my drink" Reece signals to his drink which is half full, why would he fill his drink up if it's almost full?
"Can we order food? Please Blakey" I take his hand in mine and swing it side to side
"Calm down princess" he says practically causing me to fall to my knees but I keep my stance, It's like my mind and body are separate and it forgot how to respond.
"But-" is all I can say
"We can make toast" he chuckles standing up from the couch and guides me to the kitchen, I patiently sit on the floor looking up at the brunette put bread into the toaster or as Reece calls it then bread tanning machine'
"This is going to sound pretty weird but I'm going to miss sharing a bed with you" I sheepishly say
"Why?" He asks taking the bread out the toaster and spreading the butter on the toast
"Because you give good cuddles which help me sleep" i reply, it's true I don't know if it's just because he's practically a human teddy bear or that I feel like he's my safety blanket.
"Well I am a good cuddlier" he says passing me a piece of toast which is covered with butter making my stomach grumble and mouth water
Many drink and pieces of toast later we've made our way back to our apartment and I feel Blake's head drop onto my shoulder, a comforting and familiar warmth going though my body at the presence of the boy
"I think you should go to bed" I chuckle watching his start to doze off onto my shoulder, I could easily move and help him to bed but I choose not too.
