You Got Me.

Once Tom and I got into Sheffield, Marlie picked us up from the airport. She and I had gotten pretty close since the guys had left. Then again it was hard not to.

"Oh my gosh I've missed you!" She said excitedly as she hugged me.

"What bout meh?" Tom asked and she shrugged causing his mouth to drop.

She laughed and pulled him into a hug.

He rolled his eyes and grabbed our bags. We followed Marlie to her car and she drove us to my house as she chatted our ear off. You think we would have been gone for weeks.

"Yeh givin' meh a headache." Tom groaned as we reached the house.

"Oh shut up." Marlie said waving him off and I laughed as I unlocked the door and let everyone in.

"So how was my Jona?" She asked sitting on the couch.

"Wait. What? I thought you two broke up." I joked.

"What? No. Why?" She asked and I sighed, "well he was with some slag!"

Her face grew serious and Tom and I started laughing.

"Don't do that to me!" She said throwing a couch pillow at me.

"Oh that was funny." Tom said chuckling.

"I mean everyone knows Jona wouldn't cheat on you." I said and she rolled her eyes, "Not because he loves me so much but because he knows i'd kill him."

Tom chuckled, "I believe it."

I sat beside Tom and Marlie spoke, "are yeh not tired of this idiot yet?"

"Nooo." I said wrapping my arms around Tom causing him to groan.

"I feel like I'm marryin' her not Oli."

"You wish Tom. You wish." I teased and he rolled his eyes causing Marlie to laugh.

"I love him." I said kissing his cheek and he gave me a look of anguish.

"I'm tired. Time change has screwed me up." I added.

"Well we got wedding things to do!"

"Tomorrow." I said leaning my head against Tom's shoulder.

"Agreed." Tom said with a yawn.

"Fineee. I'll let you two sleep but I will be here bright and early tomorrow!"

"Good." I mumbled causing Tom to chuckle, "See yeh lata Marlie."

"Yeah yeah. Bye." She said patting his head on the way out.

"Go lock the door." I told him.

"No. Yeh."

"You."

"Yeh."

"You."

"Yeh."

"Stop it."

He laughed and got up from the couch to go lock the door.

"Yeh always have yeh way huh?" He asked.

"For some reason it just works with the Sykes boys."

"Yeah. I noticed." He mumbled as he walked back over and grabbed my hand.

"Where are you taking me?"

"To yeh bed where we're gonna sleep."

"Oh we are?"

"Oh yeah. We are." He said causing me to laugh.

"Yeh bed smells like Oli's nasty cologne." He said falling onto the bed.

"That's because he sleeps on that side."

"And yeh haven't changed the sheets?"

"Yesss but no ones slept on the pillow, so..."

"Right. Gotcha." He whispered closing his eyes.

I stared at him for a moment and his eyes finally opened.

"Why yeh starin' at meh?" He asked with a grin.

"How did you know I was staring at you?"

"I could feel it!" He said causing me to laugh, "oh. Sorry."

He chuckled, "Go ta sleep."

"Ok, ok." I responded getting comfortable. I don't know how many minutes passed but Tom was snoring lightly and as tired as I was I couldn't sleep.

I sighed finally giving up and grabbed my cell phone from my desk before heading to the living room.

I dialed the familiar number and it only rang twice before it was answered.

"Already missin' meh my love?" Oli asked and I laughed softly, "Yeah I am."

"And why is that?"

"I went to lay down and your pillow still smells like you." I answered honestly.

"Join tha club. My whole bunk smells like yeh. Not that I mind, it juss sucks."

"Yeah..." I said fiddling with the blanket I had thrown over my legs.

"Was tha flight ok?"

"Yeah."

"Baby, yeh makin' meh feel bad. Talk ta meh."

"I just left you I shouldn't be sad."

"Why? I am." He said softly.

"Goshhh. We're stupid. We have like seperation anxiety."

He laughed, "that's what happens when yeh love someone."

"Oh we love each other?"

"Well i'd say a heavy like." He joked and I laughed.

"Sure yeh don't wanna come back here wif meh?" He asked.

"I can't."

"Yes yeh can! What's the rush!"

"Oli, we already paid for the place where our wedding will be."

"So? I'll pay more to push it back. I don't care."

"Of course you don't but I do!"

He sighed, "Fine. Spend free more months wifout meh."

"Don't say it like that!"

"Fine spend 90 more days wifout meh."

"Oli!"

He laughed, "Well I gotta stop there cause I don't know how many houas it would be."

"A lot."

"Yeah and a lot of houas wifout meh."

"Thank for making me feel better."

He chuckled, "I love yeh."

"Whatever. I'm going to cuddle with Tom and sulk."

"Yeh bloody not." He said seriously.

"Oh yeah. Cuddling. Me and Tom." I teased.

"Oh yeah? Don't make me find a slag."

"Oh yeah? Go find one. I kind of wonder what Tom looks like naked anyways."

"Ohhh how badly I'd hurt yeh if I was there."

"Ohhh how I don't believe you."

"I gotta stop bein so sweet ta yeh."

"What? No. I love my Oliver."

"So much yeh wanna cuddle wif his brotha."

"Cause they have the same last name!"

"But I'm cuta!"

"You are."

he sighed, "I gotta go love. I got a show soon."

"Ok."

"I love yeh. I'll call yeh tomorra. I figure it's late there."

"Yeah. It is."

"Ok. Get some sleep. Sweet dreams my love."

"Goodnight. Love you."

"Oh and Maria?"

"Yeah?"

"Betta not go cuddle wif Tom." He said seriously and I laughed, "promise. Love you."

"Love yeh. Bye."

I hung up with him and went back to my room and laid back down. It wasn't long until I was out.

I woke up the next morning to the smell of pancakes and a loud girl talking downstairs. I groaned knowing it was Marlie and I finally got up and changed clothes.

"What is going on?" I asked once I reached the kitchen.

"I was cookin and this fing juss walked in! How tha fuck did she get a key?" Tom asked as he continued making pancakes.

"Can you come over when Oli's home and do this so he can get the hint that he should be like you?" I asked ignoring his question.

"Oli cookin'? Ha!"

I whined, "I know. Why did I pick the wrong Sykes boy?!"

"It's tha hair isn't it?" He asked with a grin and Marlie laughed, "Probably so."

"It is. Damn me for being shallow." I joked.

"Well eat and get ready! We have tons to do! Tom you going to come?"

"Look. I love Maria, but not enough to go look at dresses. I'm not gay."

"Oh? Seriously?" Marlie asked and Tom made a face of shock, "What the fuck?! No! I'm not gay!"

She started laughing and I couldn't help but to as well, "he's not gay."

"Fank yeh!"

"Just a bit metro." I joked.

"Cook for yehself." Tom said dropping the fork he was using and I laughed and quickly grabbed his arm, "No I'm kidding!"

Marlie chuckled and finished where Tom left off.



"I'm gonna run ta drop dead. Yeh two be careful." Tom said once we were done eating.

"I don't know, you never know how dangerous wedding dress shopping can be." I teased.

He rolled his eyes, "bye."

"Now. Come on!" Marlie said and I groaned as I got up from the table.

"Fine. Off we go."

"Why aren't you excited?!"

"I am, but it's too early!"

She laughed as I slid on my shoes and grabbed my bag before leaving.

Marlie drove to some dress shop and talked my ear off the whole way there. I didn't get how she could be so chatty so early.

"Talked to Jona?" I asked as we walked in.

"Well last night. Why? Did you not talk to Oli?"

"Pshhh. I talk to my man like 3 times a day." I said waving my hand causing us both to laugh as we started looking through the big white dresses.

"You probably do!"

"I do..." I said chuckling.

"You two seriously make me sick."

I laughed, "why? Do you not talk to Jona?"

"Well he usually just text me all day." She said as I grabbed a dress.

"That's the same." I said as my phone went off.

"Get that out of my pocket." I said since I was holding dresses.

"It's a text from Oli."

"Open it."

"Ew no what if it's like dirty?"

I laughed, "it's not. Trust me."

"Ok..." she said staring at my phone and I watched her from my spot.

She gagged, "made me sick."

"What did it say?"

"It says, quote, good morning my love, have fun doing wedding stuff today. Smiley face. He didn't say smiley face but there is one..."

I rolled my eyes and she continued, "we have today off so if you can make some time for me out of your busy schedule I'd love to hear your voice. So give me a ring woman! I love you."

"He makes me want to gag and hate Jona all at once." She added and I laughed, "Why?!"

"Because! He's so bloody sweet! If playing halo was sweet Jona would win!"

I laughed as we walked to a dressing room and some woman carried my dresses for me.

"Jona's sweet."

She shrugged, "he can be. But would he send a text like this or cook like Tom? Fuck no. Fuck the Sykes brothers!"

I couldn't help but laugh, "well tell him!"

"I shouldn't have to." She said as she helped me into the first dress.

"True."

Once the dress was on the talking stopped and we walked out to the mirrors.

"Maria, I don't think you need to look at another one." She said as I stared at myself in awe.

"I love it." I whispered. For some reason this made it seem real. Not that it ever wasn't but now there was no turning back and for some reason it made me tear up.

"Oh yeah. You're teary eyed. It's the one." The woman who had been helping me said.

"Yeah. I believe so."

"Well that was fast!"

"Whoa, whoa, we're not done. We need another dress."

"What?!"

"A maid of honor dress. Duh." I said and she stared at me confused.

"For you!" I said rolling my eyes.

"Me?!" She squealed.

"Yeahhhh."

"Awe." She said excitingly and hugging me causing me to laugh, "so let me get out of this and we will find you one."

Once we got my dress off we went to find her one which she was even happier about then I had planned.

"What color?" She asked.

"Dark purple."

She nodded and began skimming through dresses as I decided to text Jona and play couple therapist.

'Stop being a sucky boyfriend and text something sweet to your girlfriend before she trades you in for Tom.'

'For Tom?! Tell him to stay the fuck away from my bird. I'll kill him.' He responded quickly. Clearly he felt something for the girl!

'Well she's awesome and you should be sweet to her.'

'I am!'

'No...Oli just texted me and she was like I wish Jona did things like that.'

'i text her!'

'Not cute things randomly!'

'.....fuck. why can't she just say that!'

'She shouldn't have to.'

'I'm kicking Oli's ass for this...after I text her....'

'Good going J. :)'

"What about this one?" She asked and I nodded, "sure. Whatever you like as long as it's that color." I stated as I looked through dresses waiting for her phone to go off.

Once it did she groaned and I laughed grabbing the two dresses she was holding. I pretended to be looking on another rack as a grin hit her lips.

"Awe my boyfriend does love me."

I laughed, "which one?"

She laughed, "oh shut up."

"Well what did he say?"

"He said, hey sweetie, hope you're having a good day so far. Can't wait to see you in a week. I love you so don't try to replace me with anyone while I'm away. Call me when you're done."

I chuckled to myself at the replacement thing he added in.

"Awe. See."

"Yeahhh I'm keeping him." She said happily and I laughed, "you're crazy. Pick a dress."

Once we paid for everything we headed back to my house and put the dresses in the closet.

"Now, i'd say we leave everything else to the wedding planner and maybe an input here or there." I said falling onto the couch and she laughed, "agree."

"I'm going to call Oli." I stated andd she nodded, "Yeahhh guess I need to call that boy of mine."

"You should."

She laughed as she put her phone to her ear and walked to the kitchen as I dialed Oli's number.

"Hey baby." He said and I laughed, "surprised you're alive."

"Oh yeah fanks for that."

"Ok well my hands were full and I didn't know how Jona was!"

He chuckled, "not everyone is like meh love."

"Well aren't I just lucky?"

"Well, I wasn't gonna brag but..."

I laughed and he spoke, "I miss yeh so bloody much."

"Mhm weird. I miss you too."

He chuckled, "Come see meh."

"I can't right now. Although I can say I did get my dress today."

"Oh really? I wanna see it."

"Um no!"

"Why not? Gonna tell meh what it looks like?"

"It's white."

"No shit."

I laughed, "well you'll see it soon!"

He sighed, "fine. Did Marlie like it?"

"Yeah."

"I bet yeh look beautiful in it love."

"So what have you all done all day? How's my Matty?"

He laughed, "he's fine. Nuffin really."

"Sounds fun."

"Not really cause it means I've done nuffin but fink of yeh."

"Come home. I miss you." I said honestly. Talking to him made me miss him more.

"I fink we might have a week off next month and if so I'm gonna fly back."

"Yayyy!"

He chuckled, "but Marlie's comin next week..."

"And I came last week and she didn't..."

"So?! Get yeh arse ta America, woman!" He said causing me to laugh.

"Why are yeh not intimidated by me eva!" He asked loudly.

"I don't know! I'm sorry!" I said giggling.

He sighed, "yeh gonna have all tha powa in this relationship huh?"

"You're silly."

"Silly for yeh."

"What time is it there?"

"Um...6 in tha mornin..."

"What?! Why aren't you asleep?"

"Like I said doll, we have tha day off. Plus, I'd ratha talk ta yeh when I have tha chance."

"Could have waited a bit."

"No. I wanted to talk to yeh now." He mumbled.

I chuckled, "you sound tired."

"I am my love." He said in a cute voice he tended to use when he was tired.

"Get some sleep."

"I would if yeh were here. Can't sleep well wifout yeh. I miss havin' yeh beside meh. Almost cuddled wif Matt lass night but his hands aren't as soft as yehs."he said and we both began to laugh, "that scares meh."

He laughed, "scares meh too!"

"Baby, go to sleep. Call me tonight."

"Tonight will be too late for yeh love. Then I'll go a whole notha day wifout hearin' yeh voice." He whispered, "and I'd ratha not."

"So you want to just stay on the phone?"

"Well if yeh won't come out here and see meh than I guess so."

"I'm over you."

He chuckled, "no yeh not."

"Go to bed."

"Fine. Tell meh yeh love meh."

"I love you."

"I love yeh more." He mumbled.

"Get some sleep. Text me when you wake up."

"Ok."

"Goodnight love you."

"Love yeh. Night." He whispered before I hung up right as Marlie walked in.

"Jona was up?"

"Yeah playing video games."

I chuckled.

"Oli was?"

I nodded.

"Why?" He asked.

"I'd rather not tell you I don't want Jona to like hurt me."

She laughed, "let me guess he wanted to talk to you?"

I nodded and she smiled, "he's whipped."

"Is not. We just I dunno, I guess everyones relationship is different."

"True..."

It was true. Oliver and I had a relationship no one understood. It was even some times overwhelming for us so I didn't expect anyone to get it. None of that mattered though. I love him, he loves me and that is all that is needed.
