A million ran things through my mind , but one stood out , was this a dream? Did I really just follow boxer boy into an abyss. His touch still burned on my palm , but the kind of pain you want to feel again and again. Moments like this were hardwired into my brain forever. It took the slamming of the door behind us for me to be jolted back into reality.
"Soooo.. what do you suggest we do?" I said , doing my best to remain coy
"We're watching The Lion King , I've never watched it and apparently I am missing out on something major , would you like some popcorn?" He said in that voice that never failed to make me melt into a puddle of emotions and missed chances.
"I guess then that both our childhoods were irrelevant , I've never watched it either.. umm why are you being so nice to me?" I said unable to help myself , like where did this sudden sweetness appear out of thin air?
" no one said I was evil , I can be nice once you get to know me"
"what makes you think I want to get to know you?"
"Has anyone ever told you to just shut up , you take life way too seriously , can you just be here in this moment with me and not make a big deal out of it"
Stunned was my reaction and nodding my only form of response.
He did as promised make us popcorn and we proceeded to watch the movie ON OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE COUCH , OF COURSE.
I am a girl, and a girl is never forward and I don't want to be perceived as such , but secretly I wanted him to move closer and try the whole yawning arm move on me , that's my hopeless, romantic comedy obsessed personality talking.

"please don't tell me you find this entertaining" Mikhail said looking as bored as ever
" I find that a depicts Africans such as myself as Neanderthals who ride to school on elephants and swing on vines'
"well don't you" he said while the smirk resurfaced
I picked up the cushion beside me and started beating him with it . Not long after he joined and WW3:PILLOW EDITION broke out.
" I surrender , I surrender " he screamed
" I don't trust you , prove it" I said
"how's this for proof" he said before lunging forward
my first kiss went a lot like this: his lips were hot and buttery and his hand slid down to my waist. I drunk it all in , my heart was pounding but my lips remained glued savouring every moment until the door opened to a couple gaping in amazement.
We pulled apart instantly and I ran out the door without so much as a goodbye. What did I just do ? that was so stupid and irrational and I just made things awkward. WHY DID I HAVE TO BE SO STUPID?
Celine ran after me and we spent the whole night discussing the interesting turn of events . At least her date went better.
They went to Nando's , turns out Tom can only eat lemon and herb whereas Celine eats H-O-T . They also ate her favourite cheesecake discussed family and life ambitions . They also went bowling and Tom let her win.
Celine and Tom were slowly going to be that couple that everybody looks up too and are just so perfect in everyway. Things weren't messy or complicated , it was right , sweet and meant to be.
^^
that concludes an interesting night , a first kiss and awkward situation . will things work out ? please comment :) and how sweet are Celine and Tom ?
