《Flatmates》20

I oversleep, and by the time I am showered and dressed and in the kitchen the boys are up. After the usual pleasantries and small talk I go straight in for the kill.

'There is no point in me making all this money if I can't enjoy it' I start. 'I want to go on holiday, somewhere hot, and just sit by the pool and drink.'

'Then go? It's not like you have to be here' George says as he flicks the kettle on.

'You guys are useless. Honestly. I want you two to come! I don't wanna go on my own' I laugh as I grab mugs from the cupboard.

'You know it's not that easy for us. We need to pre-film and put plans in place for everything else' Alex adds in as he pulls the milk from the fridge.

'Then start now! If you didn't procrastinate you could have all the pre-filming done in one day, another day or two to edit. We could be abroad in a week.' I know I'm pushing my luck, but they could do with the break too.

We continue to discuss it over breakfast, and they finally agree. Alex rings Will and James and they are both game, so all is left is for me to make a phone call.

'Hello?'

'Harry, dig out your swimming trunks. We are going on holiday!'

'What? Since when?'

'Since about ten minutes ago! George, Alex, Will and James are game. Just let me know if any of the other sidemen are coming and I will get it booked today.'

'Umm.. okay? I will text you in a bit.'

As soon as I receive the text from Harry, I grab my laptop and start the search. Ethan and Simon have agreed to come, which means I not need to find somewhere that sleeps eight. It sounds easy, but in the middle of summer it really isn't.

I finally settle on a villa in Spain, with an outdoor pool and bar. It has five bedrooms, so it means that some of us will have to share but I am sure they won't mind. Most of the rooms have twin doubles anyway. I book the flights and transfers with the details the boys had given me, and its done. WE ARE GOING ON HOLIDAY!

I email the owner of the Villa to see if I can arrange for them to stock the house ready for us. It is a long shot, but worth a try.

***

I spend the day lazing on the sofa and replying to emails, and before I know it it is 8pm. Alex and George eventually emerge from their rooms with Will, all armed with laptops ready to edit.

'Ten videos filmed between the three of us. We may have to do some editing on holiday but we will try our best' Will laughs as he throws himself on the sofa next to me. 'I could do with a bloody editor!'

'You know, I am a whizz with editing software' I say as I turn the TV off and kick my feet up onto the coffee table.

'Yeah? Go get your laptop then and you can prove it' Will laughs as his laptop kicks into life.

'You would really trust me with one of your videos?' I raise my eyebrows at him as he begins to laugh again.

'Yeah of course. I can re-do it if you fuck it up.'

***

A few hours later I hand my laptop to Will. 'Go on then, what's the verdict?'

Alex and George gather round to watch the video, and all three stay silent for the eleven minutes the video is playing. Then it is over and they stay silent. Alex speaks first.

'Fuck. Holy fuck.'

'Shit me' George adds in.

'Daaaamn' Will whispers. Shit its really bad then.

'I have been editing for years. At least once a week. You just made me look like an amature' Will adds, looking up at me with a massive grin. 'How did you even do that? And so sodding quick!'

'I dunno.. I just did it' I laugh.

'Fancy a few more to do?' Alex asks.

'Hey, I was going to ask that!' George shouts, shoving Alex in the arm.

'Okay? Just give me the files and I will get them done in the next few days' I give in. I really don't mind doing it, it's not like I work all day.

'I feel like our channels are about to get so much more productive!' Will cheers, pulling me into a hug. 'Of course we will pay you. Editors make good money!'

'I'm not doing it for money guys, I am doing it to help you' I giggle into Wills chest.
