Our Girl

Jasmine

"YOU'RE BACK!!" Priya shouted as I entered the building.

"I'M BACK!"

She wrapped her around my neck, mine were around her waist.
She rested her chin on my head.

Tall people. So annoying.

"I was only gone for a week" I mumbled.

"A week too long"

I went upstairs and unpacked my duffel bag, putting up my poster above my bed with sellotape on the corners.

It was beautiful. God, I love Star Wars.

"How was London? I've always wanted to go. I want to come next time. Can I come with you next time? I'm coming with you next time." She laid down on my bed.

"Please. I need a girl with me" laying down next to her.

We talked for a while. She told me how she and Connor were officially dating.

"I think I like Theodore" I blurted out. She looked at me

" I was interrupted by a knock on the door. I looked at Priya with a confused look.

We don't talk to the other girls.

"Who-"

"Who is it?!" Priya interrupted.

THIS IS MY ROOM!!!

"Theo?" It came out as a question than a statement, again.

I gasped "IT'S THEODORE!" I whisper yelled to Priya as I rushed to open the door, wrapping my arms around his neck, making him stumble back a bit.

"Oh 'ello stranger" he hugged me back.

I pulled away and grabbed his wrist, bringing him into my room.

He sat on my chair while I sat on my bed, next to Priya who was glaring daggers at Theodore.

"Priya, this is Theodore. Theodore, this is Priya. Priya, Theodore. Theodore, Priya blah blah blah" I introduced them.

I wish everyone just knew each other already so I could avoid introductions. Ugh.

"'ello" He stuck his hand out.

"Hi" Priya hesitantly shook it.

Why does everyone hate him so much?

"Jas, I need to talk to you" he turned to me. He looked at Priya "privately"

"Why can't Priya stay?"

"It's okay Jas. I'll come back in a bit" she walked out, glaring at Theodore as she did.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" I turned back to Theodore.

He pulled out a medium sized Dr Strange plushie from behind his back, handing it to me.

What? How? How did I not notice that? How oblivious was I?

I gasped "You remembered!! Thank you so very much. This is amazing!"

I had told him a couple of weeks ago about how I absolutely adored Dr Strange and how he was my favourite character alongside T'challa, Thor and Shang Chi.

"What is it for though?"

"Your birthday, loser. Also I wanted to say that I know we haven't really gone out much and that we haven't gone on many dates and blah blah blah but you're really funny and extremely beautiful and you make me happy and I get so happy when I see you and I like you so so much. So  . . .  Will you be my girlfriend?"

UMMMMM WHAT? IS HE SERIOUS???

It could be a prank.

DON'T SAY THAT. DON'T RUIN IT.

I'm just saying a possibility.

Shut up.

Could be a dare.

STOP

Could be a joke

YOU'RE JUST SAYING THE SAME THING.

What if he's lying to you

Stop it. He's not like that.

You've only known him for 2 months, h-

Two months is enough. I really like him and I want to be with him.

What about Michael. Alex. Leo.

It could never happen. They're way out of my league.

Theodore is out of your league too.

Atleast he's my age. Plus, the other three haven't given me any signals.

THE CUTE NA-

"Jasmine? It's okay if you don't want to. We can be friends if you don't want to rush-"

"Yes."

Theodore

"Yes?"

She stood up and stood in-between my legs, standing at eye level.
"Yes."
She cupped my face and leaned in. I grabbed her hips, pulling her closer to me.

Her lips were soft, almost silken, and pillowy against my own. I could feel the soft tickle of her breath beneath my nose, fingers gripping her hips tighter as we breathed each other in.

I got butterflies. God, I really like her.

She pulled away, her chest rising up and down.

She wrapped her arms loosely around my neck as she rested her forehead against mine.

"Now I can say I kissed the perfect girl" I whispered.

She smiled. Gosh, that smile was beautiful.

We stayed like that for a while, just us, in silence before there was a knock at the door.

"Can I come in now" Priya asked from the outside.

Jasmine pulled away from me, her arms on my shoulders.

"Yes"

Priya walked in and looked at the two of us before looking at Jasmine with a confused look.

"He's my boyfriend!!!" She whisper yelled excitedly, pointing to me.

She was adorable.

Priya gave me a dirty look "I'm so happy for you, babe" she whisper yelled back, walking to Jasmine, giving a hug.

"Thank you" she smiled. "I need to go to the bathroom real quick" she walked out.

Priya turned to me "I'm not going to say that I'll kill you if you break her heart but please don't. She's too perfect to be heartbroken by someone. You better fucking not break her heart. She has older brothers too. That won't go well for you" She slightly threatened.

I raised my eyebrows "I promise I won't"
