Chapter 4.

~Lydia's POV~

"Ooh I love this colour!" I said touching a peachy pink blouse.

"Yes, that would look great on you Lyd" Zoe said "Try it on! With, um, these disco pants" she picked up a pair of black disco pants in my size and practically pushed me in to the changing rooms. It looked quite good, but I don't know, I wasn't really sure. I came out of the changing room and looked in the mirror.

"What did I tell you! Looks lovely Lyd!" exclaimed Zoe with a big grin on her face

"Hmm... well okay then!" I gave in. I bought the clothes and we continued on our shopping. I bought some jeans, a pair of earrings and an ear cuff from river island, some ice cream coloured nail polishes from boots (apparently ice cream colours are 'the' colour for summer), a shirt and some cute little sandals from H&M and some pyjamas, tops, shirts/blouses, and a leopard print onesie from Primark. Primark was our guilty pleasure, although with prices that low you can't really go wrong, who doesn't love a good bargain? We flopped down on to the train feeling pretty deflated, my feet were killing me; heels on a shopping day is not a good idea.

"Alfie!" I heard Zoe squeal all of a sudden

"Zoee be quiet" I shushed her

"No look its Alfie" she said pointing to a boy coming over to us, she moved her bags off the seat next to her so he could sit down

"So this is the famous Alfie" I said louder than I intended to

"Lyd!"

Alfie smirked "I'm famous now am I? Do you talk about me a lot then Zo?" he asked cheekily. "So are you going to introduce me to your friend?" He asked, referring to me

"Oh yeah, Alfred this is Lydia, Lydia this is Alfred". I laughed, then smiled politely at him as he did the same to me.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Zoe asked Alfie

"Oh me and Marcus had a meeting up here" he replied

I furrowed my brow "who's Marcus?"

"He's another YouTuber like Alfie, you'll see him tomorrow" smiled Zoe. I nodded my head and they carried on rambling on about god knows what. I saw the way they looked at each other, they need to face the facts and go out, like now.

~Zoe's POV~

I really liked Alfie, he was such a good friend and always made me laugh. Although, I can't help feeling there might be more to our relationship than just being besties, he gave me butterflies whenever I saw him, but I liked the butterflies, it was a nice feeling. There's no way I'm ever, ever, ever, going to tell anyone, and I know neither is he, but, we've kissed. It was on New Years, everyone was counting down, and then it was midnight. Louise kissed Matt, and I had an impulse to turn to Alfie and just kiss him. We both blushed afterwards, but luckily no one saw. I looked up at him to see he was smiling, he leaned in and we kissed again. Sparks flew, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't just the fireworks, there was magic in that kiss, his lips were like they were made for mine.

So yeah, he was my New Years kiss, my first kiss of 2013... My favourite kiss of 2013.

~Lydia's POV~

When we got back to the house it was about 6 ish, so we decided to have dinner.

"Joee! We're home!" called Zoe

"Hey how was your shopping?" asked Joe coming in from the kitchen

"It was really good" I replied, putting our bags on the kitchen table

"Good good" Joe smiled, catching my eye again. I gave him a quick cheeky wink when Zoe wasn't looking and he gave a really over exaggerated one back. I laughed, but Zoe turned round so I had to act like nothing happened. I saw a Joe in the corner of my eye smirking at my attempt of covering up my laughter.

"Right, what should we have for dinner?" asked Zoe

"Let's get a dominos, I can't really be bothered to cook" Joe suggested

"Dominos!" I whooped loudly "I haven't had a Domino's in SO long"

"Okay calm down we'll get you your dominos, just please don't hurt me" Joe pleaded jokily making me laugh, yet again.

"Right I'll order it" Zoe said whipping out her phone. After a few seconds she put her phone back "The lines not working, I'll go and order it, there's a Domino's not too far from here" she said leaving me and Joe alone.

"Um, what do you want to do until Zoe comes back?" Joe asked me

"I don't mind, we could watch tv or something?"'I suggested

"Yeah, or we could start watching a film?"

"Yeah, what films do you have?" I asked. Joe showed me the drawers with DVD's in

"You can choose" he said nicely

"No it's okay, you choose" I replied

"Okay, how about we toss a coin, and then that person chooses?"

"Deal". Joe reached into his pocket and pulled out a 2p coin.

"Right" he said "tails I win, heads you lose" he tossed the coin and then punched the air "woo!" He shouted.

"W-wait a second Joe! Tails I win, heads you lose! That means I lose either way!" I said folding my arms, pretending to have a tantrum "just for that I get to choose the film" I demanded. I picked up the soppiest love story there was. The Notebook. Joe groaned

"Noo, not thisss!"

"Too bad, you have to suffer the consequences of your actions". I winked at him and he put the DVD in. I sat down on the sofa, and he sat next to me.

"Phwoar it's freezing" he said rubbing his arms. I just noticed how toned and muscly they were. Joe went and got a blanket and sat back down covering himself in it. I coughed loudly, and he smirked at me.

"What?" He said innocently

"You're not going to offer me some of your blanket?" I said pretending to flutter my eyelashes at him, giving him a puppy dog face. He sighed dramatically and gave in.

"Fine" he said. I reached over and grabbed the blanket, pulling it over me, though it wouldn't stretch all the way, so I had to shuffle up closer to him. He looked at me weirdly.

"The blanket wouldn't reach" I said quickly

"Sure sure" he smirked again. I frowned at him, but snuggled under the blanket and pressed play. Joe snuggled himself too, so that we were touching. I blushed, but tried to ignore it and watch the film. I don't know what it was about him but just sitting here, being with him, I felt so safe. We were about 15 minutes into the film when we heard Zoe come through the front door, and smelt the delicious, hot cheesy pizzas. I glanced at Joe and suddenly realised how close we were, I didn't realise it either but I had my head on Joe's shoulder. As soon as I saw I sprang apart from him embarrassed, luckily before Zoe came in to the room. Joe looked at me a bit strangely, but then I think he understood.

"The Notebook! I love this film!" Zoe exclaimed

"Me too! I forced Joe in to watching it" I said with a devilish smile

Zoe high-fived me and sat next to me in between me and Joe. To be honest, I was pretty glad she chose to sit there, if I accidentally put my head on his shoulder again she'd find out that I kinda liked her brother and she would kill me. We watched it for a couple of minutes, then paused it and got the pizzas, and sat back down again. Mmm, the pizza was amazing, I hadn't had a Domino's pizza in ages and it was amazing.
