Jude was awake, watching Georgina peacefully sleep. He smiled recalling what had happened yesterday. Finally, he was her boyfriend - felt like he'd been waiting to ask her for years.

Her head was resting comfortably on his bare chest and her arm lazily slung over his waist - practically lying on him with her leg also angled over his lower torso.

Jude yawned and tried to stretch his arms out, cautious not to wake her. He glanced over to the clock on his nightstand. It was little late for him, but he wasn't going to complain. He would stay here all day if he could, as long as she was here with him.

He didn't want them to ever move and instead just stay like this forever. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep, even though he knew that she had a million and one things going through her head.

Eventually, she began to wake up, Jude brushed a few strands of her hair back and traced his fingers across her back, making her sigh.

She slowly lifted her head to gaze up at him, eyes still half shut and glossy.

"Morning girlfriend," he smiled down at her.

"Hi boyfriend," Georgina mumbled into her now boyfriend's neck.

She turned onto her back, giving him a clear view of little red marks littering her neck which made him grin.

"What?" she asked, making his eyes revert back up to hers.

"Nothing," an amused smirk on his face causing Georgina brows to furrow with suspicion.

"Shit, it's half nine. You wanna get up?" she uttered, rubbing her eyes after checking the time on her phone.

"No, not right now," he groaned, his voice still slightly raspy.

"But this is late for you, when do you ever get up this late?" she questioned.

"Since now," he pulled her down gently by her wrist so their bodies were pressed together again.

"Lovely, I don't want to ever move," she smiled into his cheek.

"Mhm, sounds good to me," Jude replied, squeezing his arm around her waist.

"You're cute," she grinned.

"I try," Jude mumbled against her lips with a chuckle, his hand slipping under her shirt.

"Stop, Jude, it's too early for that," she giggled, swatting his hand away.

"Says who?" he said, keeping their lips pressed together.

It had been a week since Georgina last saw Jude. She was now back in England with her family to carry on her studies.

She and her friends, Alicia and Lucy, were currently sat in the back of history lecture. Typically, history lessons were just their time to gossip - today was no exception. Especially, this being their first proper opportunity to catch up in months.

"Well that's boring," Alicia groaned.

"Girl- the fuck you want him to do?" Georgina asked.

"I don't know," she shrugged, "something a little more romantic maybe, not just asking you after sex-"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Georgina gasped, hitting her friend's arm.

"No, I think it was romantic," Lucy chimed in, "clearly he'd been thinking about it for a while. It's more intimate like that I suppose."

"Thank you Luce, that's what I'm saying," Georgina emphasized, "I wouldn't want it massively over the top. It's icky."

"Icky? I'd have wanted a near proposal from that man, not that," Alicia teased.

"Oh, be quiet," Georgina laughed, "jealousy's not a good look on you babe."

"Uh- excuse you."

"Anyways... how long are you keeping this a secret for? Like from the media?" Lucy asked.

"Not really sure, we haven't spoken about it really," Georgina shrugged, "I guess until we're ready."

"What does ready even mean?"

"I don't even know," Georgina laughed, shaking her head, "just whenever we want to."

"That's cute though, like your own little secret," Lucy spoke.

"Is he at least seeing you for your birthday tomorrow?" Alicia asked.

"He's got a game tonight, so no, he can't" Georgina muttered with an undertone of annoyance.

"Lia," Lucy sighed, "are trying to find every possible bad thing about Jude?"

"Absolutely not," she exclaimed, "I'm just making sure our best friend here is getting what she deserves."

"Damn right," Georgina laughed, reciprocating Alicia's high five.

"Girl, you smile every time you talk about him," Lucy grinned, "I think you're very much being treated right."

"Maybe a little," the girls giggled.

"Wait but seriously, is he coming to your party on the weekend?" Alicia interrupted their little moment.

"Oh my days, I don't know," Georgina laughed, throwing her head back.

"What?! I'm just double checking," Alicia raised her arms in defense, "I need to plan these things out."

"I know, and I love you for being so organized, but unfortunately, I don't memorize my boyfriend's schedule."

"'Boyfriend'" Lucy squealed, "ugh, I love that."

"Girl, shut up," Georgina nudged her which made the others laugh.

Georgina got back from school and unpacked her stuff, getting ready to watch Jude's game later. He was playing against Rangers in the Europa League - a game he'd already expressed wasn't going to be easy.

She couldn't say she particularly cared about what happened with the team. She only cared about Jude. Just wanted him to be happy more than anything. That's what made her happy.

She wanted to be there desperately, she knew how important these games were to him and seeing him do what he loves was so specials.

The three girls were sat around in the living room waiting for the game to start. Alicia and Lucy didn't know much about football, but they could see that it was making their best friend happy.

They shared a knowing smile and watched as she sat smiling away at her phone.

The whistle blew signifying full time. Dortmund lost 4-2. Jude scored though. That's all Georgina really cared about.

The girls were chatting about the plans for Georgina's birthday, Alicia being Alicia had planned an elaborate dinner party for all Georgina's friends and family.

She'd be lying if she said she wasn't upset that Jude wouldn't be there. Her boyfriend and favorite person wasn't going to be there for her birthday.

It also upset her that even though it had been at least thirty minutes since the end of the game, he still hadn't messaged her. He always messaged her after every game - a win or a loss. Instantly. So it was a little strange to her that he was taking so long.

She tried focused her attention back to her rambling best friend, going through all the details for the following night. Georgina was forever grateful for everything those two did for her, even if they were a little over the top sometimes.

They spent the rest of the evening chatting about anything and everything. Just the usual things.
Occasionally bursting out into fits of laughter over something that definitely wasn't as funny as they thought it was.

However, their laughter was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Who the fuck is that?" Georgina asked, slightly alarmed. It was nearing the early hours of the morning, why would anyone be at her house?

"Who knows?" Alicia smirked and glanced and Lucy in a way that indicates they definitely know.

"Guess you'll have to go and see won't you," Lucy shrugged, knowingly.

Georgina stared between the two of them, eyes furrowed with suspicion.

"Weirdos, you lot are," she shook her head, standing up to get the door as they laughed at her.

She got to the door, instantly recognizing the figure through the window. She scrambled to find her keys with a huge smile on her face. Impossible not to really.

After finally managing to open the door, she smiled up at her favorite person.

"Bloody hell, I thought you'd never answer the door," the familiar face spoke.

"Jude?"
