At around 9, I went into the bathroom to go and have a shower. It was easier for me to stay awake cause I never actually slept once I got back to the room with Safia. I was just thinking about when I should break it to Safia, and how. How I was so happy with reece, but if it was going to last outside of the competition. I got out and put on some jeans, a teal jumper and my new black vans. My hair was still pretty damp from when I washed it, and there was a trail in the bathroom to the bedroom of water droplets. Bear in mind it was a red carpet, meaning you could see the water pretty clearly. I used the towel and the hair dryer provided by the hotel to dry the excess water off, and put my hair into a basic ponytail. I was feeling particularly lazy that morning, so i decided to just add a small amount of plum lipstick and concealer under my baggy eyes, leaving the mascara and eyeliner for another day.
"Have you finished in there" I heard Safia shout impatiently from the bedroom. I stretched my ponytail a bit before leaving, I watched as she rolled her eyes at me.
"Took your time to do nothing, didn't you" she gave me a light slap on the forehead before taking herself into the bathroom. Laughed at her stubbornness and sat down on the bed for a little while. I was in the middle of playing that Kardashian game when I got a message off reece.
"Come to our room ASAP :)" he sent me, following with a few kisses. I couldn't help but grin at the message, I didn't realise how much I liked reece, resulting in how happy I'd be.
I got up off the bed and begun to walk to the door when I heard Safia leave the bathroom.
"Where you going" she asked.
"Lauren asked to see me" I lied. She tilted her head at me.
"Lauren? What for?" She asked
"I don't know, I shouldn't be long though" I replied. She shrugged her shoulders and frowned before miming an ok. I waved and left, walking down the corridoor. Their door was open, so I let myself in. Obviously all the boys were awake, and slightly puzzled to see me. Charlie ran over to me with a flushed face
"What are you doing here" he asked
"Reece told me to come here ASAP" I told him. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed.
"He's in the bathroom I think, just go in there" Charlie pushed me towards the bathroom door as I hesitated.
"I can't go in there if he's there too" I whisper shouted.
"Why? He is YOUR boyfriend" he poked my cheek and I blushed red.
"He's obviously using the toilet, I don't want to see anything" I shook my head. Charlie raised an eyebrow before tickling me, pushing me into the bathroom obliviously and shutting the door. Turns out reece was in the shower.
"Guys can't you just wait" I heard Reece's voice echo and bounce off the tiled walls in the small bathroom.
"Reece it's me" I said quietly. He poked his head around the shower curtain and smiled.
"Oh, hiya. Did Charlie push you in here" he turned the shower off and grabbed the towel. I just nodded. He rolled his eyes and tsked.
"I'm gonna get out now so, if you just want to" he signalled for me to leave and I smiled. I tried to open the door but it was locked and wedged from something on the outside.
"Charlie's locked us in" I banged the door. Reece came out of the shower with a towel around his waist and tried to yank the door open - no avail. He did a big sigh, leaning against the wall. I suddenly felt myself blush as I saw his bare chest dripping with water, I wasn't ever this close to him when he was topless. It also didn't help that I knew he had nothing on underneath his towel.
"You look scared"he asked me.
"Oh um, no, it's just, no I'm fine" I stiffened and he laughed a bit.
"I'm only topless" he shrugged
"Yeah, and your topless down there too if I was to whip off your towel" I said stubbornly and he cracked into a heap of laughter.
"Why weren't you this funny when we first met? I would have fallen for you straight away" he smiled. I walked over to him and kissed him, even though I could feel myself getting drenched too.
"Fallen?" I replied. He diverted eye contact with me and blushed a little.
"Well you know, it's hard not to" he shrugged.
"I'm sorry for being a bitch and not just admitting how I felt" I wrapped my arms around his wet bare waist, he grinned.
"It's ok, I'm just sorry altogether" he laughed, before kissing me once again.
