Our laughter bursts through the front door before we do and laura meets us at the threshold, to find out what's going on,

"Um, Laura, this is Jamie,"

"So you're the boy that swept her off her feet," She exclaims with her arms folded across her chest, sending a deep blush to my cheeks as he smiles, looking in my direction.

"Swept her off her feet? I swept you off your feet did I?" He chuckles, making my face turn an even darker shade of red.

"Thanks Laura." I mutter, avoiding both of their gazes, "Possibly," I answer him, speaking towards my elbow,

Laura chuckles and leads us back into the kitchen. Jamie takes my hand and squeezes it tightly, stopping me before the door, "Why are you looking down?"

"It's embarrassing!"

He smiles and steps forward; pressing me backwards into the wall, "I'm just as'swept off my feet' as you are,"

He leans down and kisses me softly, resting his nose on mine and smiling a beautiful, sparkling smile. "So there's really nothing to be embarrassed about,"

"Well, how lucky am I?"

"I've been asking myself the same question," He winks at me, pulling me towards the kitchen by my hand, "Laura is waiting,"

"See? I told you he was different," I smile at Laura's defeat.

"You did and I will admit. He's a pretty good choice," She chuckles, "So," Laura sighs, a question pondering her mind.

"So..."

"Why don't you ask him if he wants to stay at your house so he doesn't have to keep paying for a hotel room?" She says quietly, almost as if she doesn't want me to hear her.

"Sorry?"

"You know what I said. Its obvious you two are going to see each other every day and probably spend more nights together. Face it, you're together now. You're an 'item' so why not ask him?"

"I don't know... Should I really?"

"In my opinion you should. I mean, how often do hot, english actors come along to claim you,"

We laugh in synchronization at her comment until I reply, with a statement that is not entirely true, "He hasn't claimed me. Yet,"

"Yet. Exactly," She smiles, throwing herself on the couch, patting the spot next to her. With a smile, I jump over to her and take a seat beside her, throwing my legs over hers, "Just do it. I have a strong feeling that you should do this,"

"A strong feeling? Well I should definitely do it, if you're having your strong feelings," I wink playfully at her, chuckling at the same time, "But in all honesty, I might ask him,"

"Good! Call him now."

"NOT NOW!"

"Why not?" She smiles, "He won't be as far away if you call him now. It would be rude to wait. Make him waste all of that petrol,"

"It would be rude to wait and make him waste all of that petrol," I mimic her voice except three octaves higher.

"Very mature," She smiles, slow clapping, "I swear we did that when we were 5."

"Probably! But I obviously don't care,"

"Obviously," She smiles, throwing my phone in my lap, "Now call him,"

"Okay!" I squeal, "Calm down woman,"

"We're talking about your boyfriend. Don't tell me to calm down,"

I look at her and her goofish smile and give in, dialing Jamie's number into my phone and after four rings, he answers it.

"Hello?" His British accent calls through the phone,

"Why hello there Jamie," I smile, putting the phone on loudspeaker.

"What's the matter? I only just left, did I leave something behind?"

"YOU FORGOT JESS!" Laura screams, and I push her out of the room as quickly as I can, taking the phone off speaker.

"No. Don't listen to her. I was wondering..."

"Yes?"

"Um..." I'm blushing even though I'm in a room on my own and no one can see me.

"Come on Jess, spit it out," He chuckles, "I'm driving and I should probably be concentrating.

"Well, can you pull over?"

"Yeah, one sec."

There is silence for a little while and then his voice stops it, "So, what do you want to ask me?"

"I don't know how to say it..."

"Do you want me to come back to Laura's so you can speak to my face rather than over the phone?"

"Sure you can do that,"

"Okay dear. I'll see you in 10 minutes,"
