"Wow" I thought to myself as I made my way to Ed's vanity van. About three months ago, I could've only dreamt of this, I only did dream of this... but that was three months ago, and I wasn't my super perfect (as the media puts it) model cum singer self. My team had left for the concert's after party held by the organisers, which I was in no mood to attend, and then I found out that Ed was staying back too, and it was so purrfect. I wore my tank top, the shortest pair of shorts I could find, straightened my hair again, Put on some eye liner and mascara and applied a little bit of gloss. This was the first time I was dressing in this rather revealing way, just to get a guy, but oh how I hoped this would help him make his move. I wanted him real bad. Hadn't I had a crush in him since forever? (Thank God he still hasn't been back to my loft. All those pictures of his would totally freak him out) and now, he likes me back! Really,really likes me types. Whoopee! I'm so happy. And so I knew the time had come.

"This. Is. It" I said to myself as I knocked at the door.

"Come in" said his beautiful, magical voice.

I opened the door and stood at the top of the stairs. I saw him take my outfit in, the infinite-meters-deep-blue eyes travelling from the top of my hair right down to my flip flops.

"Woah" he exclaimed, and then blushed.

My heart fluttered. How cute can somebody really be? Seeing him blush made me blush. We kept staring at each other, our cheeks red, for about half a minute. And my stomach kept doing weird gymnastics, as if I'd trapped a hundred butterflies in there.

Finally, he asked me "so, I take it as the after-party was too dull for your remarkable presence?" As he patted to his side on the duffel bed he had.

The way this boy speaks is going to kill me someday. Anyway, I went and sat right next to him, cross legged, the tips of our knees touching. He was wearing a sweatshirt and pyjamas, and the ends of his messy hair were rising as if he had just taken a shower. He looked so adorable.

"Well, the party was too sparkly and glamorous. My thought just came to this dull vanity van, waiting for my presence to brighten up a ginger boy's night." I replied, and he smirked.

I was starting to feel cold, and I realised he had the A/C on at full blast. He was watching 'star wars' on his T.V.

"Can I get you something?" He asked. " I'm assuming you're starving" he said with a sly smile, and I nodded.

I was used to going mute around him, this wasn't really the first time. He went to the little kitchen at the back, while I flipped channels. I found my all time favourite '27 Dresses'. I leaned back, making myself comfortable. Soon, he came back with the food.

"Mmmmmm. Smells really nice!" I complimented, and he flashed me my favourite smile. Our hands met as I took a plate from him, and he held on to them, didn't let go. He kept stroking at it for a while, and then shook his head and came and sat really close to me, our arms now touching in addition to the knees. He looked up to the T.V. and snorted,

"Typical cheesy girl tale. Your choice, much as I hate to say this, couldn't have been more worse."

"Thou shall not insult my favourite movie" I replied back.

"Your wish is my command, dearest" he said and winked at me. I felt as if the whole oxygen in this room had been sucked out. That was what this boy did to me. We slowly finished up, and then cleared the plates. After we'd cleared up, he asked

" I think it's getting really cold. Let's just snuggle up in the blanket, shall we?"

"Okay" I replied.

We sat on the bed, in a half reclining position, right next to each other, so close that I could feels his orange hair on his arm right onto mine. I stroked his hair slightly, and the hair stood. I blushed and removed my hand. And right then, came the part when Katherine Heigl was waking down the aisle with her father, saying,

"Everything was perfect and I didn't care. Because right then the only thing that mattered was the person waiting for me at the end of the aisle, looking at me the way I'd always hoped."

"I'd like to say these words on my wedding someday." I said to him.

No need to mention that it was him I hoped to see at the end of the aisle. He looked at me, didn't say anything, just gave me an expression I couldn't read. After about two minutes came the kiss, and he turned towards me. I looked right back into his eyes, and what I saw was probably something I'd never seen before, specially when I was with Pete. His eyes were full of something that can only be given one name, Love.

"I'm cold" I said, not knowing what else could've been said or done in this sort of a situation. He smiled my favourite smile, and took off his sweatshirt. I gasped. His upper body was highly attractive, some thing that is quite impossible for me to explain in words. A thin layer of orange hair, and a little bulging stomach. I smiled, and then wore it over my tank top, and put my index finger on his stomach, pressing his belly button slightly, and said "poing poing!" He laughed. I started doing it repeatedly, and then he started tickling me, and I tickled him back. We kept doing this for a while, behaving like little kids to see who would win, and finally he did, pressing me beneath him, his firm hands gripping both my wrists, pinning them to the pillow. He stopped laughing, I giggled a little and then stopped too. I looked up into his eyes. He glanced at my lips, and then back into my eyes. Then he said,

"27 Dresses is actually not that bad. But you have to promise me one thing." He looked at my lips again, this time for a little longer, and I felt as if I was really high.

"And what... what is that?" I asked.

He glanced at my lips for the last time and looked right into my eyes and said,

"You have to promise me that you'll always be at my side, every time I watch it."

"I promise" I replied and smiled up at him, wrapping my my arms around his neck.

He smiled back, and then brought his lips to mine.
