It was already 7pm the day had flown by; it might have been the best Christmas Day I'd had since I was a child.
I was happy and looking forward to a chilled-out week in Glastonbury with Jesse, showing him where I grew up, getting to know him better, taking him to some of my favourite places, I had to show him Bath Spa and Alexandra Park whilst I had the chance.
That was until his phone rang and ruined my life! No... I'm being dramatic, it didn't ruin my life, just my mediocre plans, but being an overly dramatic person it's basically the same.
He got up and disappeared out into the hallway. He came back in around five minutes later, I could tell something was wrong from the look on his face and the lack of eye contact he was making.
"Olly, can I talk to you out there please?" He asked, Mollie looked at me with worry, shit, what had happened? I thought
"Sure"
I followed him out into the hallway and up the stairs, he went into my room, I was nervous as to what he was going to say, my heart sank, I knew whatever it was, he was about to leave.
"What's up?" I asked
"Uh, that was my manager, I've been booked to play some Boxing Day live show on the BBC tomorrow. I have to go back to London" he said, he looked unhappy about it.
"Oh" I replied, I was too.
"I only have to go for one day, I can come back the day after. If you want me to" he said.
"Ok" I replied, I mean what else could I say, I had no say in his plans, or his life at all, I'd barely been in it for two minutes and I guess it wasn't too bad but I didn't want him to go, it was going to be fun going on our traditional Boxing Day village walk with my parents, my sister, her boyfriend and me, like a third wheel, or fifth wheel I suppose.
"I'm sorry" he said, with disappointment evident in those big mesmerising blue eyes.
"Don't worry" I replied, unconvincingly, I could tell he knew I was disappointed, he stepped forward, brushing hair from the side of my face, pushing it behind my ear.
I forced a small smile up at him, he did the same, but his smile quickly faded, replaced with a look of serious intensity, he bit his lip and before I could even consider what was about to happen, he was leaning in closer, I didn't have time to prepare myself as his soft lips pressed against mine, my eyes automatically closed even though I didn't want to miss seeing this. He put his hand on the side of my face, as he kissed me gently, every single thought left my head, my entire being was focussed on the sensation of his touch. He stepped in closer to me, his body pressed against mine, I wrapped my arms around his back, pulling him in closer as he kissed me slowly. My body ached, from head to toe, my legs were like jelly, if he wasn't holding my face in both hands, I was sure I would have collapsed into a heap on the floor. And MY GOD he smelt amazing! I wanted to bury my head in his neck. I ran my hand down his back, something I wanted to do since the moment I met him. We continued to kiss for several minutes; I wasn't sure I had ever kissed anyone for this long, my head empty, still concentrating on just being in the moment.
Don't fuck this up Olly I said to myself, knowing in a minute I would lose my focus and bite his tongue or head butt him, I knew me, nothing good ever happened without ruining it with my clumsiness. I really didn't want to mess this up. As that thought left my head, he pulled away from me, as if he had read my mind and was saving it, he smiled.
"Wow" I accidentally said out loud! Jesse laughed a little. That might have been the most amazing kiss I'd ever had. I thought.
"That's got to be a good sign" he said, still smiling at me. I nodded
