Lockdown had started getting better, and there was some more freedom, bars had reopened and you could sit outside and meet up with some friends.
You and your boyfriend decided to go away for the weekend, you decided to go away to Manchester for the weekend.
Even though you had lived in England for your own life you had never been to Manchester, you were born in Liverpool, and had moved to London when you were 15.
You had met Gabriel when he had moved to Arsenal for his career, it was a friendship first but as you spend more time together you realised there was some feelings.
It was going to be your first time away from London in ages, obviously Gabriel had been out of London due to his footballing career.
You had packed and repack now about 10 times, still very undecided on what you were going to be wearing on your weekend away.
You guys had planned on going out to a restaurant and sit out as a little date night, as due to lockdown your date nights were over zoom, it wasn't until the third lockdown you guys decided on moving in together.
You had gotten a train down to Manchester, and decided to go half's on a fancy hotel, after all you hadn't been away for months.
You went down on the friday, and by the time you arrived it was 6:30pm, so you guys just decided to get room service.
You woke pretty early, so you could spend as much time in Manchester as you could. You headed out to a cute cafe that you saw on instagram a couple days ago, that you wanted to try out.
It was a vegan cafe, it definitely didn't disappoint, you were a big fan, and would definitely recommend to anyone.
You decided to go shopping, you missed going to the shops and actually buy something rather than buying stuff online, and being annoyed you had to wait a couple days for it.
You definitely got a lot more shopping than you needed, Gabriel also got some stuff.
Once you got back to the hotel you decided to order some food off Uber eats, and the prices for food here were too much, plus you wanted to try the new vegan burger from Burger king.
The rest of the weekend was mostly ordering food, and you finally dressed up and went out for a date night out at a restaurant, which was a cute, fancy, expensive restaurant.
"i'm so ready for us to go to Italy one time" you spoke creating some conversation
"i know our first proper holiday away from London" Gab replied back grabbing your hand and joining hands with you, swinging them forward and backwards
The rest of the walk home, was talking about what you would do once everything was back to normal, and you could travel without masks, and go on a plane to a country.
Background story for this i was looking over my stories and noticed i only had like one arsenal story, and i'm a Arsenal fan so like what's up with that.
