YOUR POV

It's Christmas in a few days and we only just got a tree. It's a shitty tree. All the branches look like they've been to hell and back but it'll keep Rowan happy. She's still coming by the way. Me and Carina are getting closer? We spend a lot more time together and that's good I think. She spends time with me voluntarily so yeah.

- y/n : Carina, where do we keep the tinsel and lights

- Carina : They're in the box in the kitchen

- y/n : Thank youuu

- Carina : No problem bella. What time is Rowan getting here?

- y/n : Anytime now. Her plane landed 30 minutes ago so it's traffic dependent on when she gets here

- Carina : Ah okay. Does she like pasta?

- y/n : Yes. Absolutely in love with pasta and Chris Evans

- Rowan : Y/NNN

- y/n : ROWANNN. YOUR HEREEE

I've been looking forward to this. I've missed her. She couldn't make it to Derek's funeral so I haven't seen her in AGES. Carina is just watching our interaction.

- y/n : Rowan, you know Carina.

- Rowan : Yeah. I think we met at the old house. Amy said that you like-

- y/n : WELL you must feel gross. I'll show you to the shower

- Rowan : What the fuck was that for?

- y/n : Amy said I like what?

- Rowan : No? Amy said that Carina likes the same music as me

- y/n : Mhm sure. Have a shower. Me and Carina are making dinner

We make dinner together pretty frequently. Sometimes we order in but that's when we can't be bothered. We're very domesticated. To the point where we can work round each other.

- Carina : Is Rowan staying in your room?

- y/n : Yeah. I was hoping I could crash with you?

- Carina : Yeah. That's fine.

- Rowan : Hey. What's for dinner?

- Carina : Pasta.

- y/n : Carina made it. I helped but yeah. It's really good. She makes it really often

Dinner was great and so was tree decorating. Rowan and I argued over who's put the star on the tree. While we were arguing Carina did it. At least it solved a problem. We watched the Polar Express like bad bitches before heading off to bed. Well, Rowan heading off to bed, me and Carina dancing about to christmas music.

- y/n : I can't wait until Christmas. Is there anything else on your list you want?

- Carina : Erm one thing but don't worry

- y/n : No I'll get it for you

- Carina : Honestly it's fine bella

- y/n : Egh. Your really difficult to buy for though

- Carina : You can't buy this

- y/n : I can still try to get it

- Carina : You want to get me a date? Where someone will take me out to a nice restaurant. Walk me home and kiss me at the end of the night?

Do I say it? Do I fucking admit I like her and I'm willing to do that? Do I just say I'll plan her a date and set someone up with her? I could do that. Right? I'm good at setting people up I think.

- y/n : I can set you up with someone

- Carina : It's fine. I kind of want it to be a date with a certain person

- y/n : Ooo can I know? Is it someone from work?

- Carina : Yeah. You could say that. I'll be honest with you. I would like to take you on a date

- y/n : Really? Me?

- Carina : Yes. You

- y/n : Why? I mean when? When were you thinking?

AHHHH. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK JUST HAPPENED. She is so playing me. There is no way this is real. God calm down y/n.

- Carina : Maybe tomorrow night? After Christmas but before new year?

- y/n : Erm whenever is best for you? I don't mind.

- Carina : Okay. We should probably go to bed

- y/n : Yeah. Goodnight Carina

- Carina : Goodnight bella
