"Damn hormones are gonna kill me."

It made Lilly chuckle and she hugged me again as I wiped my eyes. She then started running me through her plans to do my hair and makeup.

When I got backto Kit's house, the place was empty. Recently they'd had a new security system installed that required not only a key card to get in but a thumbprint as well. Kit had set up my account so I could get in and had given me my keycard. Placing the keycard back into my bag, I placed my thumb to the scanner and heard the system beep. I opened the front door and placed my shoes neatly into the shoe rack. Then I walked into the kitchen and turned the lights on. I glanced around the room and took a deep breath, feeling so at home here. I wondered where all of Kit's brothers were, but most of all I wondered where Kit was. I assumed he was still at Delta and I tried to push aside any nagging feelings of him being with Maddie. With a drink in hand, I jogged up the stairs and got undressed. It wasn't until then that I felt overly alone, despite feeling so safe here I didn't wanna be alone. I decided to keep myself occupied by watching a film and I raked through Kit's things to find the most comfortable looking piece of clothing. I stripped myself down before pulling it over my head.

I hummed, feeling a sense of security in his clothing, and then I climbed into bed after setting up the DVD player. Wrapped in the duvet, I tried to focus on the film but my mind wandered to the ball in a week so I decided to text Kit. I wrote a few different lines and deleted all of them, wondering what the hell I would write apart from:come home, I'm alone.

It was pretty selfish of me so instead I sent him a message letting him know I was home. Soon after I heard noises coming from downstairs and I figured Kit's brothers had come home. I didn't hear any of them speaking so I thought about going to meet them. Then an uneasy feeling set over my mind and I started to imagine things.

What if it wasn't any of Kit's brothers?

Just before I was about to get up, the door opened and Kit walked in, taking me in as he did. A smile came quickly as he stared at me.

"You're equally the most cute and sexy thing I've ever seen, Blondie."

I pulled the duvet back and crawled across the bed to greet him. His eyebrows raised as he looked at me up and down and to me knelt in his t-shirt.

I got off of the bed, still under his stare as I rushed across the room and wrapped my arms around him. It caught him off guard but soon after he wrapped his arms around me.

"Thank you," I said against his chest.

He cared so much about me being happy that he'd messaged my best friend to buy me the dress I loved. I moved my head to look up at him and he brushed my cheek with his finger before kissing me.

"I'm guessing she showed you the dress?" he grinned and I nodded.

I closed my eyes as I snuggled back into his chest.

"Come to bed?" I asked.

"Like you even had to ask," he replied, allowing me to lead the way as he stared at my behind in his jumper.

It didn't stay on me for much longer though. Shortly after Kit stripped me naked and made love to me, cherishing my body with his touch and showering me with his love by kissing my entire body. Despite everything happening in our life. Despite all of the worry and crap, I could have stayed in that moment with him for the rest of my life.

“Okay,so your blood pressure seems to be a lot better," Leanne said, smiling at me.

Lilly sat beside me and beamed at me.

"So, obviously we'll need to check again but at the moment, that's great news. How have you been feeling?"

Apart from feeling terrified about the ball tonight, I felt grand.

"A lot better," I said and she nodded.

After leaving the hospital, I texted Kit quickly to let him know that the appointment had gone well. We decided it would be best if he didn't go with me. It was just a check-up and despite him wanting to come, we could have potentially been spotted together. We'd already taken that chance the last time he'd come with his brothers to meet us. Instead, Lilly came with me and Bob and Phil kept close enough to not be labelled as stalkers. Once we left the hospital they drove us to Lilly's house and I smiled at my phone, reading the text I'd received from Kit.

I'll seeyou at the ball, Blondie. I'll be looking ridiculous in a bow tie…

I imaginedhim in a bow tie for a second, knowing how sexy he'd look.

I neededa shower before preparation commenced and Lilly waited on her bed looking lost.

"You okay?" I asked her.

Nodding, she brought her head up to look at me.

"You missing your parents?"
