Chapter 35

Alex's POV

Mornings aren't for me. It's 7 o clock and I've just entered Melwood because I have a flight in a few hours. I meet the physios and get started on the dreaded wattbike; anyone that's ever used on of these abominations will know the struggle of getting yourself mentally prepared for a session on one of these. Once I've killed myself on the bike and done the rest of my gym work I make my way home. 

As usual, we're running late on the way to the airport but it shouldn't be too disastrous, we've been later before. We check in and grab a starbucks to wake Perrie up, I should be the tired one here yet she looks like she's been up since half 6. The flight was uneventful, just our usual antics of me taking the mick out of her child like behaviour and her ability to turn from that child to a model within seconds. 

The Dubai heat hit us as we touched down on our destination and grabbed our cases before getting into a taxi to the hotel. We didn't bother unpacking our cases, instead eyeing up the pool outside our room to relax in. I concluded that was a good decision as I watched my goddess of a girlfriend walked outside. My mouth dropped, fucking hell how did I manage this. She laughed as she walked down the steps into the pool and my arm snaked around her, pressing a small kiss on her bare, freckled shoulder. 

We spent the next few days exploring Dubai, enjoying the time we were spending together, we don't usually get to spend time like this together as we're always so busy. We'd eaten out in just about every restaurant in Dubai, we hadn't stopped laughing and I'd never stopped feeling lucky about the girl by my side. 

Perrie's POV

It's New Years Eve and it was meant to be a spectacular event here, I've always loved New Years, it's always feel good, always surrounded by those you love and even though I've only got one of my loves, I have got my main one. This whole trip he's done nothing but make me laugh, make me feel loved to a point I'm running out of words to describe him. 

Fireworks surrounding us, I'm wrapped in Alex's arms and the countdown to 2020 has started. Upon the final signal, I've entered 2020 with my love. "Happy new year" I say laughing "Happy new year shweetheart" he replies leaning in to kiss me. We continue staring at the fireworks, my back leaning into his torso, the occasional kiss being placed on my head. "How about we get out of here" he whispers into my ear sending shivers throughout my body. 

I wake the next morning wrapped in Alex's arms and stare at him for a while. From his freckles scattered across the bridge of his nose and cheeks to his muscular arms and chest; he is perfection. "Your lashes are tickling me" he tells me groggily, I laugh and kiss the tip of his nose, wrapping the covers tighter around my naked form. He groans as the cold air hits his legs and I tell him to pick up our breakfast that's probably outside our door. I say I tell him, more like I pushed him our of bed with little options. 

He walks back in and glances at the clock, raising his eyebrows at me, "we had a good night I see" he says as her climbs back into bed with the tray. I laugh and try and take my plate from the tray. "Nope I got it, I get to eat it" Alex looks at me, he can't be serious, I hit his arm and whine at him. "Alex pleaseeeee" I beg as he starts on his breakfast, he throws his head back and hands me my plate. We eat in quiet, with the occasional laugh as someone steals the others food and lay wrapped next to each other, enjoying each others company. Tonight's our last night before I go back to work and we inevitably don't see each other for another few months. 

Alex's POV

I'm just putting my shoes on so that we can leave for our beach dinner with Perrie moaning at the time I'm taking to get ready. It's not my fault, I let her get ready first. I take her hand as we make our way to the beach, talking about random unwork related things, our conversations really are the best, strange but the best nonetheless. 

The food's already at the table by the time we get there and we eat and talk throughout our meal, savouring the time we're spending together. When we've finished everything, I take her hand and we walk down the beach before finding a place to sit on the sand. She rests her head on my shoulder as we watch the sun go down. I turn and look at her, my brown eyes melting into her blue ones. "You're so beautiful, I hope you know that, and even if you don't I'll tell you every time I see you, you've got the kindest heart, the purest soul, a smile that lights up the darkest days. I can't and don't want to imagine a life without you, I can't wait for your beauty to still dominate my mind even when we're old, I love you more than you'll ever know." I wipe away the tears that were slowly falling down her delicate face as she opens her mouth to say something. "Every day, whether I wake up to you in person or just your good morning texts I feel like the luckiest girl in the world, when I'm snuggled up next to you I feel at my safest. My thoughts always seem to end up revolving around you, the way you throw your head back and your eyes crinkle up when you laugh, the way your hands fidget with each other when you're nervous, the way you fail to keep a straight face in any situation. I've forgotten how to write break up songs because I've forgotten what it feels like to not feel loved. Thank you for making feel so loved every single day, thank you for treating me like your queen and most importantly thank you for being you." I lean in and capture my lips on hers, a kiss so full of love, a kiss that I know I'll get every single moment from now. 

A/N so that's the end. Sorry if it was a bit abrupt, I didn't want to make it too predictable that you knew they were gonna get married and have kids so I've finished it here. I hope you've enjoyed the book and I'm thinking of making a one shots book with loads of different footballers so if that's something you might be interested in let me know and any players you'd like to see. 

Also on another note, the black lives matter protests have really inspired me, the way that people are coming together to fight for what's right has been amazing. If you are going to protest then please stay safe and if you can't get to a protest, please make sure you're signing petitions, donating if you can and sharing information. We can't give up on this fight, black people have suffered for far too long.
