📍Dortmund, Germany🇩🇪
2:17am
Jude and Georgina arrived at Jude's house at 2am, they crept through his house, carefully not to wake anyone up. Jude hadn't told his family that he changed the girls flight time, he didn't want them to make a big fuss when they got back. Jude knew that those types of things would freak Georgina out, he wanted her to feel comfortable when she got to his house. He also knew that she was probably going to be exhausted and just want to go to bed.
Jude bought up Georgina's suitcase and showed her to his room, and left her to get changed in private. He knocked lightly on the door a few minutes later, not wanting to walk in on her changing, but she didn't answer.
"Gi?" he asked through the door. Still no answer.
He pushed the door open slightly to reveal her already asleep on his bed. Jude wasn't totally surprised by this, Georgina had been yawing the entire car journey and was clearly struggling to keep her eyes open. The boy merely smiled at the girl curled up on the side of the bed, in her white love heart pyjamas. He walked round and pulled his duvet up, covering her small body.
Jude realised he forgot to ask if she was ok with sharing a bed yet. They hadn't really had a talk about any of that stuff and he didn't want to overstep her boundaries. They hadn't even kissed yet, although he was planning on doing that soon. It had to be whilst she was out in Dortmund, he couldn't wait until whenever they next saw each other.
He slowly tiptoed out the room again, closing the door gently behind him and walked across the hall to the spare bedroom opposite. He quickly text the girl so that when she woke up, she would know where he was.
9:21am
Georgina woke up, momentarily forgetting where she was. She turned over, expecting to see Jude lead out next to her, but instead, no one was there. She grabbed her phone from his bed side table, instantly seeing Jude's message from last night.

Georgina smiled at Jude's respect for her. She probably would have let him stay with her - seems a bit unreasonable to kick him out of his own bed - but nonetheless, she respected him for it.
The girl stretched out her arms and pulled herself up, to sit against the headboard. She glanced around the room, having not really seen it last night. It was clean, tidy, definitely looked after - she assumed that his mum must be keeping it clean, no boys room was ever this neat.
After hearing a knock on the door, Georgina saw Jude emerge from behind the door.
"Morning to you too," Jude spoked. He was wearing nothing but some grey sweatpants low on his waist. Georgina had to admit, she struggled keeping her eyes off his abs.
"Morninggg," Georgina dragged out her words through a raspy morning voice, rubbing her hands over her eyes.
Jude jumped into his bed, tucking himself alongside Georgina.
"Y'know you could have slept in your own bed?" she asked.
"Yeh but I didn't know if you were ok with that and I didn't want to wake you up," Jude responded.
"It would have been fine," she said, with a small smile on her face.
"OK, well, at least I know that now," he said, returning the smile. He grabbed her hand, "What are we doing today then?" he asked.
"I don't know, you tell me," Georgina replied, subtly shaking her head. Jude just gave her an unamused look. "What?! I don't know what's in Dortmund, do I?!" she defended, her arms now raised.
"Ok, yeh, fair enough," he agreed, "have you ever been to the German markets?"
"No..?" Georgina asked, she's only ever been to Germany for all of 2 days before, for a 'Stranger Things' Comic Con - that didn't really give her time to go sight seeing.
"That's where we'll go then," Jude stated, clearly "I thinks it's still christmassy there so that's cool."
"Cooool," she replied, whilst yawning.
"Tired?" he questioned.
"A little bit," she motioned with her hands.
"Tough, come on, get up," Jude leaped out of the bed, grabbed the girls hand and pulled her out of bed.
Georgina groaned, swinging her legs off the bed, being pulled to her feet by Jude.
"Cute pjs," Jude commented, looking down at the girls white and pink statin heart pyjamas.
"Thank you," she muttered.
"Hungry?" he asked.
"Maybe, a little.." she replied.
"C'mon, I'll get breakfast," Jude said, walking out the door and down the stairs, Georgina following closely behind.
"Oh shit," the boy stopped halfway down the stairs.
"What?" the girl whispered back.
"I forgot that my family's here," he looked up at her.
"It's fine don't worry," she reassured.
"Sure?"
"Like you said the other day, 'I've basically met them before'" she mocked his brummy accent.
"You're not funny," Jude turned, and continued walking down the stairs.
They walked through a doorway into what Georgina assumed was going to be the kitchen. Once he assumption was proved correct, she was met with a woman she had definitely seen before.
"Morning Mum," Jude announced his presence in the room. Denise turned around slightly startled.
"Morning darlin-" she paused mid sentence when she saw Georgina. "Oh my goodness," she gasped, "I didn't know you were already here!" The older woman pulled the young girl into a tight hug which was returned. "Jude said you weren't coming till tomorrow!"
"I changed the time so she could come out earlier," Jude explained, whilst him and Georgina took a seat at the kitchen island, "and I didn't tell any of ya so that you wouldn't make a fuss."
"Did you get here last?" Denise asked.
"Yeh, Jude picked me up from the airport early this morning," Georgina answered.
"You pair of crazy people! You could've told me! I wasn't prepared! I was going to get stuff sorted, get a nice breakfast and all!" Denise complained, giving Jude a light tap on his arm.
"Honestly, it's fine, don't worry," Georgina reassured the woman, a smile forming on her face at her excitement, yet panic of her early arrival.
"I'll get something sorted tomorrow, it'll be fine," Denise continued, "better late than never."
"Mum, it's fine," Jude laughed. "Get used to this," he said, turning back to Georgina.
"Oh my days."
The three people sat in the kitchen turned to face the stairs. Jobe was coming down, walking round into the kitchen.
"Bro, I thought you were joking," he stated, looking at Georgina and then Jude.
"Why would I be joking?" Jude asked.
"Didn't think you had it in ya fella," Jobe continued.
Denise and Georgina made eye contact, whilst the boys were debating over why Jobe thought Jude was joking etcetera etcetera, and the mother mouthed 'They've had a crush on you for ages'. Georgina just chuckled and shook her head.
The two women continued laughing at the brothers bickering before their father, Mark, strolled in to stop them.
"What are you lot shouting about?" he asked, calmly.
"Jobe's just being an idiot, like usual," Jude muttered and returned back to his stool next to Georgina, who still hadn't been noticed for his father.
"What's he done?" Mark continued questioning. Everyone around the island started trying to surprise their giggles as Marks total obliviousness to the new girl in the room. "What?" he asked, "Oh my god! Hello!" he exclaimed, finally noticing the girl, pulling her into a hug.
"Hi," she laughed back, causing everyone to burst into fits of laughter.
"I'm so sorry," he apologised, " it's too early for this, i'm not even going to ask questions yet."
Georgina noticed how Mark had one of the brightest smiles she had ever seen. They all did - the whole Bellingham family had the most welcoming smiles, instantly making her feel and home.
They all say around the kitchen for a bit, Mark them all breakfast, Denise poured everyone coffee or juice. Georgina was sat in between the two brothers who had eventually stopped arguing and settled down to eat breakfast. The girl found herself with a huge smile on her face the whole morning, seeing the way this family are with is each other was beautiful. It made her feel special to be a part of it even for just a day.
After a while of conversation between the group, Jude pulled Georgina away, to get ready to go out. He was excited to show her around the markets, but she was even more excited just to get to spend the day with him.
