Simons pov

I run into the house. This needs to be perfect. I look at youtube, wikihow, anything online to teach me how to seduce her, and make her want to be with me.
I gather the boys in the kitchen.
"Alright. So as we all know, I've been crushing on our new neighbour, Holly." I start. The boys all stare at me. "And I think that I want to take it to the next level." I say. Vik and Josh both smile, Harry looks pissed, Tobi and Ethan look confused. Jj is just cheering me on. "So I want to do something cute and romantic for her, but I don't know what. Ideas?" I ask.
"Tell her you'll pay her to suck you off." Jj says, laughing loudly after, the rest of the boys laugh too. I give him a dirty look and he shuts up.
"Why don't you go to the cinema?" Josh says.
"Too cliche." I reply.
"Take her out for supper." Ethan suggests.
"No. I need something new. Something different." I say sternly.
"Heres what I'm thinking" Vik starts.

Hollys pov
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I get off of work and get into my car. Its 6 pm. I make sure I have my wallet and phone before driving home.
When I get home I see an envelope on my doorstep.

Put on a dress or something nice. Meet me in my backyard at 9.
-Simon

I read it and run into my house. I take a shower. Once my hair is dry I keep it down and quickly straighten it. I put on a red dress. I apply concealer, I put on eyeliner and mascara too. I run downstairs and grab my phone. I put on silver sandals and walk out the door.
I walk into his back yard. I see a table in the middle, with a candle on it. Its set like in a restaurant. All 7 sidemen are wearing tuxedos. They all have a silver platter in their hand, except Simon. He steps forward.
"You look gorgeous." He states.
"Thank you. Um, you look snazzy." I say, we both laugh. "But what is all of this?"
"Well a beautiful, kind, smart, amazing girl like you deserves the best and nothing less. I know I'm not the best, I suck at most sports, I'm not very funny and I get jealous easily, but I'll treat you better than any guy out there, I guarantee. I want to show you tonight over this dinner that me and the boys have prepared just how much I wanna be with you, what do you say?" He asks. My stomach feels full of butterflies and I can't stop smiling.
"Okay." I say, I don't know what to say. I'm speechless. He takes my hand and leads me over to the table. I sit down and he sits across from me.
Ethan walks over to our table, with Harry beside him. Harry pours us water.
"A plate of the finest nachos for you two." Ethan says, putting a plate in the middle of the table. I laugh. We both start eating the nachos which are surprisingly good.
"So which school are you going to in a few weeks?" Simon asks.
"Queen Elizabeth High School" I state
"Really? Thats so cool, I went there." He tells me.
"It sucks that you don't still go there or else you could show me around." I say.
"I know, but the office will assign someone to show you around." He tells me.
"I know, but I'm still terrified." I say.
"Don't be. There's nothing to be scared of." He reassures me.
We talked for what seemed to be forever. With Simon its easy, things are never awkward, theres always a conversation, we can be serious, we can joke around. I love talking to him, he's so interesting, so always new, hes so funny and playful but he has such complex, amazing thoughts and views on/about the world.
"Uh, Holly?" He says, my eyes meet his. I feel at home in them.
"Yeah?" I respond.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks. I get a huge smile and my head goes crazy. Thoughts of what to say? Do I just say Yes or Of course, or does that sound too sure? What happens if Deji and I kiss again. I don't ever want to hurt him. So many thoughts running through my mind, my stomach feels like I'm on a roller coaster.
"Yes. I'd love to be." I state.
