I jolt from my position in Damiens arms as I hear the front door open. I shoot him an apologetic look and wait for Harry's voice to travel through the house.

"ROMEEEEEEEEEEY!" He ran in the room and jumped on my lap.

"Hey Harry." I ruffle his hair and smile at him.

"Who's that?" He asks nearly poking Damien in the eye.

"That's Damien." I slowly lower his arm.

"Hey Harry." Damien said sitting up properly.

Mum walks in then and gives me a curious look, I stare at her for a moment then she nods and smiles at Damien, he smiles back.

"Hi Mrs Parfield, I'm Damien."

"Nice to meet you, Damien. Harry, can you help mummy put away the shopping please?" Mum gives me a ' you're welcome' look. 

"Can I have a lolly pop?" Harry asked innocently. Mum laughed and says yes. He jumps off of me and skips out the room, slamming the door as hard as possible behind him.

"He's cute." Damien says smiling at the door.

"Yeah, not when he wakes you up at eight in the morning to play cars with him." I sigh, and run my hands through my hair, God I'm tired.

"Aaw, I bet you look cute." He chuckles at me and pulls me back into his arms.

I shake my head, and snuggle back into him, we hadn't finished Up yet.

**************************************************************************************************

I realise after reading through 33 notifications, and counting, that Damien really had liked me for a while. Bells was obviously the first to comment with 'Yeeeeeeeeeeeey! About time!'. The rest off the comments were relatively similar. All of Damiens friends said 'Hard work paid of at last?;)' . My phone was continuously going off until the point where I actually had to turn it off. I blamed him for overloading my phone which resulted in him kissing me. How someone becomes irresistible in 36 hours is beyond me. Why hadn't I noticed sooner?

"Romy...Romy?" I opened my eyes a little startled. I'd fallen asleep on him. I sat up instantly going red.

"Sorry.." I shift awkwardly, rubbing my eyes.

"Ha, dont worry, you're cute when you sleep." He laughed and tried to pull me back down.

"Even I know I snore." I insisted, swatting his hands.

"I'd call it a squeak, if anything. I kinda need to go home.." He looked a little disappointed, I stuck out my bottom lip and almost jumped as he quickly stood, pulling me towards him. I retracted my lip as he brought his hand to my face, brushing my mouth. He leant in and gave me the lightest peck. I feel a sudden urge to grab him by the head and kiss him hard when I notice him smirking. He's teasing me. I play along, and shrug.

"I better walk you to the door then I spose.." I lead him out and hug him goodbye, using all of my willpower not to start a PG-13 scene in my front garden. 

I shut the door and walk into the kitchen. Damien left four cans of coke behind. I open one and turn around, greeted by my mother's smirk.

"What?"

"Don't what me Romy. Go on, spill!" 

She forced me to tell her every detail I could remember. Mum was the most amazing person I knew. I told her everything, we'd been through a lot together. 'Dad' left when I was seven. Typical fuck fest with a younger women, of course he chose our neighbour so we got to greet her every single day.  When he realised he'd screwed up, he attempted to kidnap me, twice, and hospitalise Mum. He was succsessful with the latter. We moved when I was 9. Harry arrrived a couple years later, from a some how worse situation. He's the most amazing little boy, I often forget what horrible circumstances he came from. How Harry ended up in the world was the set back, especially for Mum. She was having her first night out on the town with her new friends, and was raped on her way home. They caught the guy and he's in jail but not for long enough, and he knows about Harry which scares Mum, and me, hugely. But even after all of that, she is always positive and tries her best for us both, so I tell her everything.. minus the tension and kissing scenes. She's only too happy for me, telling me its abot time I met a good one. Two hours, and three cans later I finally head upstairs.

I poke my head around Harry's bedroom door to find him hanging half out of bed, clinging desperatley onto his dinosaur. I tiptoe in and gently lift him into bed, making sure his dino was with him. Then I drag myself into my room and fall asleep as fast as I can.

Need to stop staying up this late, even if it is summer.
