It started with "Bibby"

Chapter Eleven ~ "You have no idea"

(bare with me, i'll correct mistakes)

I woke up to a slight burning sensation on my left arm. I shot it away from the pain and opened my eyes slowly. A streak of sunlight blinding me through the blinds, this evidently being the burning sensation on my arm.

I rolled over slowly so I was laying on my back and opened my eyes fully, adjusting to the light. I lay for a few seconds, glancing at the cream ceiling light before reaching over to the bedside table directly next to my double bed and picked up my phone.

I held it above my face and read through my recent messages, the screen brightness leading to a small headache. I noticed I gained 8 texts overnight, one from Charlie, four from Reece, one from Casey and two from Mia.

I opened the text from Charlie first:

"From Charlie😇👫:
Hey sweetheart, just text to say it's 6 hours before we leave for the airport. I don't know whether you're coming to the airport or not, but see you later xxxxx" 02:00am

A huge smile slipped onto my face as I began to type my message back.

"To Charlie😇👫:
Hiya mate, I'll meet you at the airport. I've missed you loads and I want one of those goals airport moments, so yeah😂🙆🏼 see you then xxxxx" 8:06am

I giggled at my comment and glanced up at the time positioned at the top of the phone. It read: 8:07am. I scrolled through some previous texts off of Charlie and checked the time of their flight. After reassuring myself I had plenty of time I checked through the other texts I had received.

It was a five-second argument between my thumbs over which text to open first - Reece or Casey's? In the end I settled on opening Casey's text first.

"From Casehhh👽:
For god sake just answer Reece's text's. He sent one and you didn't reply and now he's like freaking out. I did tell him there was a time difference but he's not listening to me. ty v much, Casey x " 12:31am

I laughed a bit too loudly and replied to Casey.

"To Casehhh👽:
Alright mate lmao, I've just woken up. Bless his little cotton socks❤️ x" 8:09am

Casey must've been using the hotel's wifi and on his phone because I instantly got a reply.

"From Casehhh👽:
What a babe, at least you had some sleep. Reece has been going on for hours😴 At least you'll see us later, did you miss us??😉 x" 8:10am

Casey was being awfully...cheeky today... Not his usual flirty self. I guess he had news.

"To Casehhh👽:
I guess I missed everyone else but why would I miss you ??¿¿?? x" 08:12am

I giggled at my text before reading the few from Reece.

"From Reece💗:
Hey babe, are you free to FaceTime?❤️xxxxxx" 12:01am

"From Reece💗:
Are you asleep babe? Xxxxx" 12:37am

"From Reece💗:
Babe???????" 12:40am

"From Reece💗:
I think Charlie's going to text you later but just saying we're leaving for our flight in 7 hours, thank god. I miss you so much and I can't wait to see you, love you xxxxxx" 1:04am

I giggled and blushed slightly at Reece's constant texts but his last one made me grin intensely. He really did care and I adored that.

I fumbled around on the keys for a few minutes before typing my reply to Reece:

"To Reece💗
Hey mate, thank you for the constant texts😂😘 I'm awake now and I can't wait to see you, I'll meet you at the airport later and I expect to see a smile. Love you💗 xxxxx" 8:17am
