we were going to the beach today, i couldn't wait to be back in the beautiful sunshine with matty.
closing my eyes i leant against the all deciding on what to wear. my stomach had began to grow a little
i pulled out a red bikin and shrugged on jean shorts and my vans. i decided to shrug on a thin tank top due to the heat
"matty" i sang into the other room where matty sat on his phone until i walked in, his eyes lit up and he smiled
"you look gorgeous" he told me, i smiled
"i look a mess!" i declared before he pulls me into him and i inhaled cigarettes and aftershave
"be quiet and let's go out" he laughed intertwining his hand with mine and kissing my knuckles giggling i grinned
"beach time"

"it's madcool tomorrow" i reminded matty our hands still locked together, he looked at me and grinned
"excited?" he asked
"yes!" i grinned.
once we reached the beach we both threw off our shoes and i took my short and tank top off, i was beginning to show now, i was only around a month in but the bump was apparent. matty saw this and traced his hands along the growing stomach
"it's all getting real isn't it?" he said
"yes i guess it is" i laughed, i wasn't worried about more, i knew matty wanted this just as much as me, and it was nice to not have to worry about anything with him. i dug around in my small bag and got my polaroid
"smile!" i said taking a photo of matty.
"nooo" he whined trying to snatch the camera but it was stop late, i had the photo in my hands
"give it back!" he demanded playfully
"never" i grinned. i put the photo along with my camera back in the crossbody and sat playing with the groans of sand that had clung to my toes
"you okay?" matty asked with his shades now mounted on his curly hair, i nodded
"yes! i'm sat in the sun with my boyfriend how could life be better?" , his smile turned even wider and the words he told me melted my heart
"i hope you know there wasn't ever a choice ... between you and gabby i mean, it was always going to be you, i never wanted her in the way i wanted you" his cheeks flushed as did mine and i practically attacked him with a hug
"woah" he laughed pulling me in closer to his chest
"i love you" i whispered against his tattoo
"i love you" he repeated the words back

it was getting late in the afternoon at this point and the sun was becoming a little unbearable. we gathered our things and decided to head back to the hotel, matty had a meeting with jamie to attend anyway so we had to leave at some point. we on as we got back to the hotel i changed into sweats and and another tank top, being pregnant had definitely made me even more tired, i climbed into bed and called for matty
"yes dear?" he jokingly said
"lay with me?" i pouted
"jamie will kill me" he laughed
"oh let him!" i said as he climbed beside me wrapping his arms around my body
"i'm so tired" i sighed into his curly hair
"me too" he said laying even close to me

i must have fallen asleep because when i woke matty was gone, i smiled seeing the indentation of where his head lay on the pillow, i grabbed the pillow and moved it closer to where i lay breathing in his lingering scent before dozing off again.
i really had to go to the doctors and check that this was a normal symptom of being pregnant, i'm sure it is.

"i love it!" ross declared, adam nodded
"it's a perfect idea matty"
"she changed you huh?" jamie laughed, i smiled at him
"she really did" , george called me on the back and we all grinned at one another
"right so that's that sorted and one track yeah? now what about the rest of the album? we need to rework track 15 because we decided against it. so we need one whole new song any ideas matty?" george asked
"what about ... i don't know fuck" i declared feeling defeated. this had to be THE album, i had a good feeling and i refused to put out anything that wasn't real.
"i don't know" i admitted
"yes you do" george implored
"i don't!"
"what's important to you?" ross asked, i mulled it over before a smile crept across my face
"what? oh god i know that look" jamie laughed rubbing his head
"paris .. lets call it paris and go from there" l the boys faces light up and they all nodded in agreement
"paris" adam said
"i love it" george said scribbling down ideas

i checked my phone to show the time was 11pm, matty still wasn't back but i knew the boys and jamie would be lost in discussion. i laughed even thinking about jamie trying to control the boys at 11, i knew adam would be what it to escape and text carly, ross would agree with george to piss matty off, george would disagree with matty to piss him off and matty would piss everyone off by being matty.

i thought about texting carly since we hadn't spoken since the whole gabby issue but i decided against it. i loved her and she had been there when i needed someone, i was thankful for he and all she'd done, but it wansnt right that she dropped me as soon as gabby came back into the equation.
obviously i wouldn't cause drama or start anything and she was obviously coming tomorrow and i wouldn't able to avoid her and i was going to play nice. i just didn't see a point in making an effort since she hadn't. we could remain civil for our boys but sadly friendship was seemingly off the table now gabby was back.

i walked to my bag from earlier and pulled out the polaroid of matty, a year rolled down my cheek and i laughed. the photo truly captured matty, he was smiling in the photo and his sunglasses rested on his head, his eyes were bright and he looked so healthy. i couldn't help myself but cry. he'd come so far with with everything and he was really on the mend. i place it beside my phone beige climbing back into bed and shutting my eyes, even when trying to fall asleep a smile still crept across my face and made my whole face ache with happiness. i didn't want this feeling of bliss to stop, ever.
