Every day that passed me by this week felt like a million years, probably because all I could think about was the fact that Matty was taking me somewhere that I had absolutely no idea about. No matter how many times I asked him to tell me, he wouldn't. If I'm being honest though, I'm glad he didn't tell me. He somehow managed to convince Jamie to let me finish work at 12 on Friday though, he just told him that I was going home for the weekend to see family and I was too shy to ask.

As soon as I got home from work on Friday all he did was follow me around, telling me to hurry up and get packed. We were only going away for 2 nights but it didn't make it easier for me to choose what to bring. The slightly confusing thing for me is, what is the point of this trip? We aren't a couple but clearly it was something to spend the weekend together with no distractions or having to truly hide from anyone.

Once I had packed a few outfits, some make-up and essentials, we left the flat and went to Matty's car. "So where are we going?" I asked him. He just smiled as he drove, not saying a word. "I think I've waited patiently enough." I grumbled.

"You haven't been patient at all, you've nagged me all week." He chuckled, looking at me and then back towards the road.

"I'm just curious." I sighed.

"Don't worry, you're gonna find out very soon." He smiled.

"Okay then Healy, I'll trust you on that." I shot back, looking out onto the motorway. The drive to the airport was pretty quick to be honest, which I was shocked about because it's Friday and usually rush hour traffic is a killer. When we got to the airport he parked and we got our bags and headed into the departures area.

I looked at the board but there was so many flights leaving Heathrow in the next few hours so I couldn't even hazard guess as to where the fuck we were going. "Okay, so we're here now I guess you probably want to know where we are going." He stood in front of me, I narrowed my eyes at him and nodded.

"That would help ease my nerves a little." I said quietly, looking around at the people whizzing past us to get their flights.

"Check your emails." He smirked at me. I raised an eyebrow at him but pulled my phone out anyway, opening up my emails. There was an email from him, how the fuck he got my email address I'll never know because I had never given it to him. The email had an attachment and all it said was the title of the new album. I looked at him still confused.

"Okay, now what?" I asked.

"That's our album." He said simply.

"Wait... what?" I was so confused. I mean I wanted to hear it of course but this was a download link to it.

"The album is done, Jamie sent me over the final downloads for it a few nights ago. It was perfect timing for this actually." He told me. "You're officially the first person who isn't directly involved in the production side to have a copy of the album." My eyes grew wide, I was in total shock.

"Okay, this is great." I beamed at him. "But what does that have to do with where we're going?"

"A song title has the answer." He grinned. I quickly opened up the link and it took me to Spotify, which is something I've never seen before. I wasn't even aware you could access something on Spotify unless it was publicly released. I scanned the titles of the songs until I stopped on one called Paris.

I looked up at him with wide eyes. "We're going to Paris?" I asked, a smile taking over my face.

"Yeah." He said simply, matching my smile. I threw my arms around him and squealed.
