Eleanora:
Lia very kindly dropped Leah and I back at Leah's house, Leah's house was a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom semidetached house on the outskirts of central St Albans on as side street.

"Sorry for inviting my self over" I said taking my shoes off in the entrance of Leah house

"Please don't worry, I don't mind, it's quite nice to have some company, would you like anything to drink?" She asked as we headed into her open plan kitchen and living room,

"I'm alright thank you" I said smiling, I don't know why I was being all shy now

We were sitting on her sofa just chilling, laughing and chatting, back to asking each other random questions when we both got caught in that exciting tense eye contact

"You know your eyes are mooi beautiful" Leah said holding the eye contact

I smiled at her attempt in speaking Dutch "where did you learn that"

"I asked Viv" she smiled and blushed

"Well you want to know something" I asked

'Mhm"

"je hebt een vriendelijke ziel" I said

"I am not that good" she chuckled slightly, "what does that mean"

"You have a kind soul" I smiled at her

"I love it when you speak Dutch" she said

I put my head on her arm which was resting against the back of the sofa and almost buried my face into her arm to try and hide the fact that I was now blushing, until she placed two fingers gently under my chin and turned my head to face her, as she edged her face closer to my face, I began to slowly tilt my head to the right and close my eyes as did she, as our lips met, it felt like a firework had been lit in my stomach, i could feel her smiling into the kiss, which made me smile as well.

We slowly pulled away from each other both grinning like Christmas had come early, I went all shy and placed my head back on her arm, she lay back into the sofa pulling me with her, my head was now on her chest and her arms were wrapped around me, we were both sinking into the sofa just wrapped in each others warmth and embrace.
We lay there for a while in comfortable silence, just enjoying the moment we had just shared

"I don't know if I am seeing stars because of my concussion or if I don't know if I am in a dream" I said with the smile still plastered on my face

"Let's hope it's the second one, here I'll prove it to you" she said tilting my head back and placing a soft quick kiss on my lips, which made me squirm and giggle slightly and bury my head into her chest, she was laughing at how shy I was being and held me tighter.

I stayed at Leah's for the next hour or so, we didn't really do anything but lie on the sofa and talk some more about ourselves, really getting to know one another, Leah had just dropped me back to Viv and Beth's apartment, she got out the car and opened the passenger door for me and walked me to the entrance door of the apartments, which was literally 3 steps from the car and placed a kiss on my check
"See you tomorrow El"
"See you tomorrow" I said smiling at her

I ran up the apartment stairs and basically ran through Viv and Beth's door and interrupted their moment they were having on the couch with both of them quickly sitting up and turning to face their front door with a concerned expression on their faces

"Vivi!, Vivi!" I ran over almost squealing

"What" she says, not matching the energy levels I had just brought in

"Can you pretend to be a little more excited, for your little sister please" I said

"Okay, okay, What!" She said with a sarcastic expression and tone

"Leah kissed me" I whispered

"She what!" Beth said sounding genuinely excited for me

"Yeah Bethy! She did" I said grinning now facing Beth

"That's amazing Ellie, I am so happy for you, I knew something must have been going on the way Leah looks at you, she hasn't looked at someone like that in a very long time"

"Thank you!"

"Viv I hope you were this excited when we first kissed" Beth said to Viv

"No definitely not" she said teasing Beth

We all shared a hug and then I left them chiling on the sofa, I felt so happy right now I was practically jumping up and down, which I knew wouldn't be good for my concussion but I just couldn't help it, the excitement was all too much
