Rolling over, I felt like a thousand drums were being played over and over in my head. The after results of a night drinking are never good for me, even if I didn't have a lot to drink.

I reached for my phone that was on charge on my bed side cabinet to see three texts. One from Nakitta that said:

Leaving the party early you party pooper ;-) hope you and Josh didn't get up to anything, haha! Text me when you're up, need to ask you something xx

Tapping a reply on my phone I read the next text which was from Luke:

I'm assuming you got home okay because you didn't text me, it wouldn't surprise me if you fell straight to sleep when you got home! Fancy coming round to mine later? Cal and Nakitta are coming and we're going to have a movie night like what we usually do xx

Laughing to myself, I replied to him before reading my third text which was from a number that wasn't saved in my phone:

Hey, it's Josh, from last night, hope you had a good time at my party, love to see you again :) xx

Smiling at my phone, I replied to him before pulling myself out of bed, out of my room and downstairs to get something to eat. I wasn't too hungry but I was peckish so I got some bread and toasted it before spreading nutella over it once it had toasted. I have some weird eating habits, everybody raises their eyebrows at it but I guess what you like, is what you like.

When I replied to Luke, I agreed to the movie night at his but that gave me the whole day to myself and I had nothing planned. What a bore!

Finishing my toast and placing my plate in the dishwasher, I went back upstairs to my room and got back into bed and flicked on my TV. My phones light notification was flashing, signifying I had a text. Reaching again to my phone I saw I had a text from Josh.

Fancy meeting up today, I have nothing planned and I'm going to be bored as, that's if you haven't got anything planned? Xx

I hadn't had anything planned and I was up for getting to know Josh better. I mean, after having a kiss session with him for 10 minutes I'd want to know him a teeny bit more, our walk home last night wasn't great for conversations and was a bit awkward.

Yeah of course- I began typing but stopped myself. Maybe using "of course" makes me come across as eager. Deleting part of the message I began to continue.

Yeah, I have nothing planned until later anyway, so what time do you want me to meet you? Xx

I replied, I didn't organise to go to Luke's until at least 6 at the latest so I could chill with Josh for a bit.

I pulled myself out of bed again and began to get ready. I was uncertain what to wear because if someone that attractive whats to see me again I best make an effort.

~*~*~*~

After spending an hour deciding what to wear, I was finally ready. I asked Josh to meet me at mine, he only lived down the street but it would be just easier to do that then we'd go to wherever we ended up.

I organised 1pm for him to be at mine, I had about five minutes to spare after getting so I slipped on my black vans and went downstairs. As I reached my living room, my front door bell rang. Surely that's not him and he isn't on time, well.. That's good impressions, I guess.

I went to the door, unlocked it and saw Josh standing awkwardly at my front door.

"Hey," he greeted me smiling at me, I didn't realise he had braces last night but as he smiled at me, they were on full display.

"Hey, come in," I said, gesturing him inside, "sit down whilst I just finish getting my stuff," I concluded.

He came in and sat on my couch whilst I finished getting everything in my bag for Luke's later, I wasn't planning on coming home before so I got the usual things I take out with me which was my phone charger, purse -with money-, and usually a drink from my fridge.

I had already rang my mum and told her what I was doing today because when I woke up both my parents were at work. It was the usual on Saturdays.

After finishing collecting my things, Josh and I went out which seemed like to be an awkward couple of hours.

~*~*~*~

"So..." Josh said, starting the coverswation off again.

"So..." I said, almost mimicking him.

"Did you enjoy it last night?" He asked.

"Yeah, I did, did you?"

"Yeah, I met this really cute girl," he winked.

"And who was that?" I asked, playing along.

"Her name was Emily," he replied.

"Oh, I know an Emily, what's she like?"

"Well, she's an amazing kisser from what I've heard, and is amazingly beautiful,"

I wasn't sure now if he was talking about me or another Emily.

"Not sure if you're talking about me now or if you're talking about someone else!" I laughed.

"Well I didn't kiss any other girls last night so yeah, it is you," he smiled.

~*~*~*~

After that then the conversation just flowed, I guess after a while we just got comfortable in each others company and I for one wasn't as awkward around him. Time literally flew and I lost track of time and before I knew it, it was 7pm.

We ended up sitting on a field for hours just talking, which was nice because it meant I got to know him a bit more and he got to know me a bit more.

"Shit," I mumbled to myself.

"What is it?" He said, looking up at me as I began to stand up.

"I promised my friend I'd go round to theirs and I'm late," I said, helping him up.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said, apologising.

"No it's not your fault silly I just lost track of time, but today was nice and I'm glad I got to properly meet you."

"Oh, you too," he smiled, pulling me into his arms and giving me a hug. "We should definitely do it again sometime," he added in.

"Yeah," I smiled, looking up to him.

There was a height difference between Josh and I, he was so tall compared to my 5ft height, but it was cute.

Releasing from the hug, I felt Josh interlock his fingers with mine as we began to walk away and where I was going to leave him to go to Luke's.

After about 10 minutes walking, we arrived just around the corner from his house. I ended up bickering with Josh about him walking me so far and he didn't have to but he still continued to walk with me.

Before I left him, we exchanged another hug before saying goodbye. As I was walking away from him, I felt him grab my arm and turn me around.

"If I don't do this, I'll regret not doing so," he said before bending down to kiss me.

After a moment, he removed himself from me and apologised.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have rushed anything," he kept saying over and over again.

"No, don't be sorry, it was.. Nice," I admitted, standing on my tip toes to kiss him on the cheek, "I've got to go now, so I'll text you," I said, running to Luke's.
