Chapter 31

Perrie's POV

I am now back to my apartment after a long agonizing day without my girlfriend. I knew we had only been apart for hours but I didn't exaggerate one bit when I said I miss her like crazy and already craving for her. I knew I probably won't see her for days or even weeks as she needs to support and be there for her family. Even though I miss her so much, I would rather wait for her to reach for me as I don't want to intrude on her family time.  I snapped out of my thought when I felt my phone buzzing. I took it out of my pocket and grinned when I saw it's Jade. I answered the call immediately and sat down at the couch.

"Hey baba are you home now?"

"Yeah baby. Actually I arrived home two hours ago, but I knew you were having interview at that time so I decided to call you later. You finished work now?"

"Yes and it has been a long torturing day without you. I miss you so much princess" I sighed

"Aw I am sorry baby I miss you too. I promise I will be back as soon as possible, but honestly I don't know how long I am gonna stay here...I don't wanna leave until they-"

"It's okay Jade I understand. I would be lying if I say I don't want you back soon. Even though I want you all to myself, right now your family need you the most, so take as much time as you need. I would spend the rest of my life waiting for you if I have to."

"Aw I love you. I can guarantee you it won't be this long because I intend to spend my life WITH you" My lips curved up for the first time today and my mind started picturing our lives in the future. How could I get so lucky?

"Awww I would love to I love you so much! Now can we facetime I want to see your pretty face"

"Hold on. One second!"

She hung up and sent me a request seconds later. I clicked on it in no time and soon her beautiful face appeared on my screen. We kept facetiming each other until I heard Norma calling Jade for dinner. I didn't want to end our conversation but I knew it's time.

"Go eat now I don't want my princess starving"

"B-but I wanna keep talking to you..." She pouted. Aw I want to kiss that pout away

"Me too Jadey but your family is waiting for you. You could still call or facetime me when you have time, you know I would pick up my phone in a heartbeat when I saw your name on the screen." She nodded at my words, but her pout was still on her face.

"What's wrong?" I frowned

"I am sorry I couldn't make you dinner tonight..." So she is worried about me? How cute is that oh my god! Perfect.Wife.Material.

"As much as I love your food, I could still cook remember? Don't worry about me I won't starve myself you know right?" I winked at her

"That's really convincing" She giggled

"Now go before Norma scold at you" I chuckled and she sticked her tongue out, looking absolutely adorable.

"Bye Pez. I will facetime you before bed?"

"Yes please otherwise I won't be able to sleep! Bye Jadey" I begged. She laughed and ended the conversation.

A goofy smile plastered on my face when I relived every seconds of our conversation. I didn't know how long I had been staring at my phone until I heard my stomach rumbled. I laughed and walked into the kitchen to make dinner. I decided a simple spaghetti will do as I didn't feel like having a big meal tonight. Once I finished, I took the dish and placed it on the table in the living room. I sat down on the couch and ate the spaghetti. I frowned at the taste. Jade's spaghetti tastes so much better than this

Mine was not horrible. It's just...plain. I couldn't feel her in the taste. I couldn't feel her presence. I miss her sitting next to me having dinner together and chat from nothing to everything. I miss her sitting on my lap feeding me with her perfectly cooked spaghetti. I miss her proud smile and cute giggles when I moaned at the taste. I miss her mocking at my poor table manner and carefully wiping off anything that was left on my face even though I look absolutely gross...I miss her.

I digged the fork back in the dish, only to find out I had finished the spaghetti while my mind was wandering back to a certain brunette. It's really insane how much you could miss someone this bad, every little thing reminded you of her, the only thing that could go into your head is her. I looked at the time and it was only 8:30pm...so I still need to wait for a few hours to be able to see Jade again. I sighed and slowly got up, and made my way to the kitchen. I put down my empty plate into the sink and started washing the dishes. When I finished, I decided to take a long bath after a long tiring day of work.

I put on some comfy clothes after the bath and lay on our bed. I picked up my phone to check the time, I sighed to see it was only 9:30pm. We normally went to bed at around midnight so I guessed I still have hours to wait. I have never felt time passing so slowly before. Time always flies when I am with Jade, even though we were just laying on the bed, cuddling to each other and doing nothing. What should I do now?

I put down my phone and picked up Jade's pillow, hugging it closely to my chest. I buried my face into it as deeply as I could and took a deep breath, hopefully I could somehow gain back the ability to smell so I could take in Jade's sweet scent, but that needed a miracle to happen.

"I miss you so bad baba" 

I mumbled into the pillow, wanted to keep burying my face into her pillow until she came back to me. I rolled around feeling distress to find out the bed was too huge for one person to sleep on. I wondered how I survived before sharing bed with Jade. I started to think of the beautiful brunette again, and soon felt my eyelids slowly getting heavier and heavier.

My eyes snapped open when I heard my phone buzzing on my bedside table. I immediately grabbed my phone and grinned when I saw Jade sent me a facetime request. Normally I would just ignore the phone when it interrupts my valuable sleep, but sleep meant nothing compared to my lovely girlfriend. I tried to shake off any sleepiness in my body before accepting the call.

"PEZ!" I could hear Jade's exhilarating voice when her pretty face popped up on my screen.

"JADEY!" I copied the excitement in her voice, which made her let out the cute giggles I was dying to hear all day.

"Is that my pillow?" She pointed and I realized my free hand was still clutching her pillow at my chest. My face heated up as I felt kinda embarrassed to let her see me doing this, she might think I was weird.

"Y-Yes" I said shyly.

"Aw that's so cute baby. I wish I could bring yours with me too but at least I have this." She grinned and showed me her necklace, the one I gave her at our one month celebration. I smiled and reciprocated her action.

"I am always with you no matter how far away we are baba. How are you and your family coping?"

"I know babe. We are doing better. Karl and his family are back too so we all are helping each other, especially mam and Uncle Tim, to get through the whole thing. Uncle Tim said Auntie Karen is an optimistic person so she wouldn't want us to be depressed over her death. We are trying not to grieve over the loss but memorize and cherish the beautiful memories we share with her." She gave me a genuine smile

"It's good to hear that Jadey." I smiled

"Oh and your mam came too, she and my aunt are friends, I guess my mam introduced them to each other."

"Oh really? I am not surprised though you know how small South Shield could be" I laughed

"Yeah that's true and it's so nice of her to stop by and support us."

"That's my mom! Aw I miss her and I miss you, two of my favourite people in the world"

"I am sure she misses you too she has asked me a lot about you. And I miss you too baby you have no idea! They said I co...Oh...N-nothing" She covered her mouth

"Um?" I raised my eyebrows at her

"Ah...um nothing babe...t-they said it's nice for me to come back cause they know how busy I am"

"Don't worry about us, we could handle the promo" I assured her

"Thanks baby" She smiled

We kept chatting and I could feel sleepiness was starting to take over my body once again, but I refused to let it win because I didn't want to end the conversation. However, despite how hard I tried to fight it off, I couldn't help but let out a yawn. I saw Jade turned away for a second and gasped.

"Sorry baby I didn't realize it's this late! You must be tired I will let you sleep now." I looked at the time and it's now 2:00am.

"Don't be sorry baba I didn't look at the time either. We don't have work until noon tomorrow so I have enough time to sleep. I am a little bit tired now but I wanna keep looking at your beautiful face and listening to your angelic voice"

"But I could see you are struggling to keep your eyes open babe" She giggled, and that's when I realized I was speaking with my eyes half-closed the whole time. I opened my eyes immediately and tried to look like I was fully conscious, but I didn't think she bought it as I could hear her laughing.

"But I don't want to go to sleep without you next to me." I pouted, hoping she would just keep talking to me, even though my body had already betrayed me

"Aw baby I will...um...I promise it won't be long for me to come back. I need to get up early tomorrow so let's sleep and we will talk tomorrow yeah?"

"O-Okay." I gave in, knowing I have to let her go now.

"Nanite baby"

"Where is my goodnight kiss?" I pouted. She giggled and gave me a few kisses, which I immediately returned.

"Now go to sleep you big baby" She cooed.

"Yes my princess. Goodnight and I love you soooo muchhhhh"

"I love you too Pez. See you tomorrow bye." She gave me one last kiss and ended the conversation.

I sighed contently and put down my phone. I turned on my side and hugged Jade's pillow tightly to my chest, imagining I was holding her in my arms, and feeling myself slowly drifting off again, only this time with a smile on my face.
