I drove in the car silently for a while. I hadn't even bothered to turn on any music. There wasn't really any point. Driving consumed me enough. After a while though I turned out Christmas music. Even though it wasn't even Thanksgiving yet I was ready for my favourite holiday.
The drive was probably one of the worst I have ever done. The traffic was terrible and I was by myself so it was incredibly boring. I was doing it for Louise, Darcy, and Matt though. I had to keep reminding myself that.
After hours and hours in the car I was finally there. Louise opened the front door and walked out to me the instant she saw my car.
"You've been ages!" she said giving me a hug when she was close enough to. I hugged her back taking in her scent of baby powder and the perfume she always used. I loved Louise. The second she hugged me I knew I had made the right choice by coming to her house.
"Traffic was terrible," I said grabbing my bag from the back of the car and locking it.
"Come inside, Darcy is so excited to see you," she said with another grin. I followed her into the house and smiled the instant I saw the small toddler walk towards me.
"ZoeMummyChummy," she said with the biggest grin as she came to give me a hug.

Darcy was actually one of the reasons that I started to ever fall for Alfie at all. After that first kiss things with us were pretty awkard because I wasn't sure if I liked him as a friend or as more than a friend. When I saw how Alfie acted around Darcy though, that was when I really fell for him.
I still remember the day. It was October 26th 2012 and Louise and I were going to hang out with Alfie. It was after we had met him at Summer in The City and I was really excited. It would be the first time we would really hang out together.
Of course I didn't like Alfie at the time, but I loved his videos and really wanted to be his friend. Our first kiss had been at Summer in the City. He had kissed me before I left. It confused me. Little did I know more confusing kisses from him would come in my future.
Well that day Louise had Darcy and the way Alfie was with her was the sweetest. It really made me start to wonder how I felt about him. If I liked him as more than a friend. The next kiss that he gave me on New Year's though would be the one where he stole my heart.
