"We went to the movies last night and Ellis asked me to be his girlfriend!" Poppy tells me excitedly.
"And you said yes?"
"Of course I said yes!" She rolls her eyes.
"Well, congratulations on being exclusive." I smile.
"Thanks, I wonder if anything will be different now we're going out." She bites her lip as she daydreams about Ellis. "Anyway," she shakes her head returning to reality, "what's going on with you? Any progress with Noah?"
Every time I think I could be in with a chance he'll flirt with Morgan too. I have no idea where I stand. If anything ever was to happen between us I'm sure Morgan would have a problem with it. The other day, for example, Poppy was off school sick so Noah offered to drive me home and of course Morgan tagged along and called shotgun, he had his hand on her leg every time he wasn't shifting gears. So he offered me a lift home but also was all over Morgan...what does that even mean?
"Not really, just seeing how things go." I tell Poppy quite plainly.
"Well, I'm sure you'll sort something out eventually." She says looking down at her phone, she giggles then replies to a text Ellis had sent her.
"Are you still coming over tomorrow night?" I ask her.
"Ooh, about that," her head shoots up from her phone screen, "I kind of promised Ellis I would go over to his house to hang out."
"Oh, okay. That's fine." I shake my head.
"I can cancel and come round yours instead?" She looks down at her phone and starts to type a text to say she can't come over when I interrupt her.
"Honestly, it's fine." I smile taking the phone from her hands and deleting the message.
"Thanks, Kimmi." She kisses me lightly on the cheek.

I drive to Steph's house and wait in the car. I see her peer through her bedroom curtains and a few seconds later she emerges from the front door. She's wearing a pair of sexy ripped jeans and a fitted leather jacket. Ugh, she's so hot...and so out of my league. She opens the passenger door and climbs into the car with a cute smirk on her face.
"Where are we off to, driver?" She asks.
"Somewhere special." I smile and turn on the ignition.
I drive only for about ten minutes to Lover's Peak, a small secluded cliff overlooking the whole of town with a view of the ocean. As I turn off the engine I get butterflies in my stomach and my heart is beating like a drum in my chest.
"Lover's Peak?" Steph giggles.
"Look, I know it's cheesy-"
"I love it." She interrupts me as she gazes over the expanse of twinkling lights and the moon reflecting off the ocean.
"Good, because I was actually hoping to tell you something." I rub the back of my neck nervously.
"Yeah?" She raises her eyebrows looking somewhat concerned.
"Steph, hooking up with you recently has been amazing, the best fun I've ever had but-"
"Oh." She shakes her head and begins to look quite upset.
"It's not like that!" I grab her hand and hold it, not ever wanting to let go. "Like I was saying, great fun hooking up and all but I was sort of hoping we could take things, you know, to the next level?"
"Like, be exclusive?" She asks.
"Yeah, I mean if you want to?"
"I do, I won't hook up with anyone else then." She confirms.
"And I won't either."
"Jason." She rolls her eyes.
"What?"
"Like you would be getting with anyone else anyway." She laughs, punching my softly on the arm.
"Excuse me, I happen to be a ladies' man." I joke.
"Of course you are." Steph laughs.
Our heads incline, I shut my eyes and kiss her. Every time I lay my hands on her it feels like the first time and it's the most nerve racking, exhilarating, perfect feeling in the entire world. I just hope she feels the same way.
