Being able to plan time to go away or have some form of peace with Dougie's schedule most definitely wasn't easy.

Every time it seemed as if Dougie would be able to secure a week or so off, something would come up that he couldn't say no to.

Obviously, you enjoyed the time you had with Dougie regardless of where you spent it, but sometimes it was nice to know that the next day, not you or Dougie actually needed to go anywhere.

Despite his manic schedule, your fiancé of almost two years had booked a whole week from all work-related occurrences.

The two of you weren't going away for the whole week, but Dougie had surprised you with a long weekend away.

Going on the trip, however, meant a long-ish car journey to actually get there.

You had finished packing up the car, so you headed back inside the house to see Dougie spread out on the sofa whilst holding his phone up.

You lied down next to him, causing him to laugh but wrap his arm around you "All pack up?" he quizzed, placing his phone down at his side.

"Yeah, I think I've remembered everything" you told him, trailing off slightly as you did a mental checklist of all your belongings.

Dougie chuckled and rubbed small circles on your waist "Don't panic Baby – you've got everything for both of us" he explained.

He sat up, pulling you up with him, "Should we go?" you suggested.

He nodded in agreement, before standing up and going around the house to do a final check – making sure that everything was definitely turned off and such. You decided to wait for Dougie in the car, and soon enough he got into the driver's side.

"Do you know where you're going?" you questioned as the both of you buckled up.

Dougie shook his head, reaching to the built-in screen in order to find the satnav part of it.

You picked up your phone and found the postcode, reading it out to Dougie so that he could enter it.

He smiled at you afterwards, reaching across the console to intertwine your fingers together and starting up the engine, "Looks like it'll take us two hours" he told you before pulling off of your drive and ensuring the gate closed behind the car.

You nodded in acknowledgement "And then it's three nights in a cute little cottage for us" you spoke with excitement in your voice

Dougie chuckled, squeezing your hand affectionately, "I can't wait Baby"
