I smile at the girl next to me. Her flaming red hair fell perfectly down to her waist, and her eyes sparkled in the cinemas light. To be honest I was paying more attention to her rather than the movie we were watching.

After the movie we stood outside talking.
"It's getting late, and I think it's going to rain, do you maybe want to stay over?" I ask, hunching my should in a attempt to keep warm.

"Sure, why not!" She chirps And as we walk along the pavement I feel her hand slip into mine. I blush and stare at the ground, suddenly finding my beaten up converses very interesting.

I unlock the door and show her my spacious apartment. 3 bedrooms, each with a personal bathroom, and a walk in closet in one of them. I personally didn't like the apartment, besides I didn't have a lot of clothes. I usually just slept on the sofa.

"So, I've got a 2 spare rooms, make your cho-" I was cut off by the noise of booming thunder. I feel something cling to my arm and look down to see Zoe with a terrified expression on. I grin.

"Are you scared of thunder?"
"N-no! That's silly, I-... yeah."
I giggle but quickly stop when I notice Zoe's hurt expression.
"Sorry, I didn't mean any offence," I say sheepishly, feeling bad that I had hurt her feelings.
"No, it's ok. I'm used to it!" she says, returning to her normal happy self.

I go to my closet and get some clothes out for her to wear as pyjamas. As she leaves to go to the bathroom, I start thinking about our relationship. where we girlfriends?

She enters the room, and I gather up courage to ask her:





"Zoe, will you be my girlfriend?" I ask, smiling broadly.

"YesYesYesYesYesYes!" she screams, jumping on me so I collapse onto the ground.
"Ow! my butt!"
"Sorry!" She smirks and I could tell she was planning something.
"TICKLE WAR!!!" she screams, and I smile.

"It's on."
