I checked the time on my phone. 8:02am. I groaned. Stupid body clock. I sighed and lay in bed, I had nothing to do today and I was in no rush to move from my nice warm bed. I rolled over and pulled my duvet up around me. It was a bit cold in my flat, as it was Novemeber and my heating hadn't clicked on yet. Then my phone rang. I groaned, grabbing it from my bed side table. "Hello?"
"Hi Honey."
"Hi Mum, you alright?"
"Yes, thanks, how are you?"
"I'm fine thanks, still in bed." She laughed.
"Typical. Are you coming home for Christmas, or are you staying in your flat?"
"Mum, the house it like a 30 minute drive away. But I'll probably stay in my flat, and at home some days."
"Okay, honey. WIll you let Nan and Grandad know what you want for Christmas?"
"I'll do it when I get up."
"Okay, I'll see you soon, love you."
"Love you too mum" Bless my mum thinking about Christmas a month in advanced. I eventually fell back asleep. Then a knock at the door woke me up. I groaned and pulled the warm sheets from my body. I checked the hall clock as I walked to the door. 10:15-ish. It was probably just Dakota or Bobbi at the door. I opened the door and there stood Ryan fucking Fletcher. Was this a dream? I was dreaming, right?
"Hey." He smiled. Fuck, this was real life. I was stood in the door way with my mouth dropped open, in nothing but a black vest top and some short shorts and my hair was all over the place in front of Ryan fucking Fletcher. Fab. I realised I hadn't replied to his greeting.
"Uh- I- Hi." I stuttered.
"Sorry for just showing up."
"It's fine, er, come in." I said moving out the way to let him come in. "Excuse the mess, I wasn't expecting guests, do you, er, want a cup of tea or coffee?"
"Sure, coffee please." I put the kettle on, got out two cups.
"Sugar?"
"Two please" I made two cups of coffee, and handed one to Ryan. "Thanks."
"How do you know where I live?"
"Oh, I asked the driver from yesterday." I could see him going slightly red. I nodded and smirk into my coffee.
"Not to sound rude, but why are you here?" He laughed a little, but I think it was nerves.
"I came to asked you if you, er, wanted to go out for dinner with me tonight?" I smiled.
"I'd love to." He smiled, but tried to sitfle it.
"Great, I'll pick you up at about 6:30?"
"Sounds good."
"have you just woke up?" I laughed, clearly I had.
"Yeah, you woke me up" I smiled.
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"It's fine, don't even worry." I laughed. We went into my lounge and talked for a little bit.
"Is that the time?" Ryan said panicked.
"Yeah..."
"Shit, I've got to go, we've got an interview with Capital" He said standing up and rushing to put his coat back on. I laughed.
"I'll see you later then?"
"See you later." I walked him to the door and watched him rush off. I couldn't help but smile. I spoke to my grandparents for a little while, it was nice, because I didn't get to see them much anymore. When I got off the phone with them, I realised how hungry I was, so I opted to make myself a Cheese Toastie. Brown bread only. I was kind of a health freak. I enjoyed good food.
I had the wholeday to kill. Ryan wouldn't be here until 6:30 and it was 10:55 now. Hm, I could watch a film. Back To The Future? Sounds like a plan. I popped the DVD in and curled up on my sofa. This was my all time favourite film. I could probably quote it word for word. I'm so glad it was my last week on Uni this week and I could just stay at home and do a little bit of Christmas shopping, put my tree up. Oh, I can't wait. I loved this time of year.
About halfway through the film, my phone rang. It was Bobbi. "Heeey!" I said.
"Hi, you alright?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah, what you doing?"
"Watching Back to the future, you?" I could almost hear her rolling her eyes at me.
"Nothing, getting ready to go out."
"Ooooh, where you off to?"
"Nowhere special, just gonna go out for some lunch."
"Are you going with anybody I know?" She laughed.
"Yeah, you do actually," She stopped. WAS SHE GOING TO TORTURE ME?
"Go on..." She laughed at my eagerness.
"I'm going out with Joel." I squealed.
"Oh my gosh, I knew you'd be cute together. I started this. This was my doing. I want full credit!"
"Okay, okay, you'll have full credit!" She laughed. "What you up to today then?"
"Not a lot, I think I'm just gonna chill today, but I'm going out in the evening." It was her turn to get tortured.
"Going with anyone I know?" She mimicked my earlier comment.
"Oh, you do actually. I'm going out with Ryan." She squealed, in the same manner I had.
"Looks like we're both in there" She laughed.
"Looks like we are,"I laughed. "listen, my favourite part of back to the future is coming up, text me later and tell me how things with Joel went."
"Hahaha, Okay, I'll speak to you later, byeeee" Then she hung up.
WHAT WAS I GOING TO WEAR TONIGHT
