Inner beauty

Third space

I couldn't believe my eyes... it definitely wasn't what I expected, it was better.

It was a small room with fairy lights and old-fashioned black and white photos pinned to the dark wood paneled walls.
There were old floral couches and bean bags spread out across the floor and bookshelves filled with those cool old Harry Potter style books, separating the room into little booths. It was lit by fairy lights and candles giving the room a warm glow. The couches were filled with a mish-mash of cushions with quotes on them and a verity of cartoon character plushes.

"Is this place yours??"  I said in awe
"Ha I wish, no it's a friends basement but he lets a few people use it so I guess it's kinda mine in a way" he smiled
"It's amazing- I can't even describe it"
"It's my third space, my escape"
"How Dramatic! Why third space?" I giggled
"Because the normal everyday spaces are my first space, sleep is the second space and this is my third"
"That's deep..." I said, butterflies exploding in my stomach.

"Hey! Patty, dan! Fancy seeing you here, this is Dessie" Zach squealed, making me turn around to face two people I definitely didn't want to see.
"Your Dessie?" Patty chuckled
"Y-you two know each other?" Zach said awkwardly
"No no" she smirked, not making eye contact "don't think so"

Oh we definitely knew each other... she was the one in the park that shouted 'hey it's that girl that fell in the lake!'
And made everyone stare at me.
Oh we knew each other alright...

"Dessie, these are my friends patty and dan" Zach said excitedly "they come here sometimes to. Oh and guess what?! Patty studies journalism to! You'll be on the same course"
"Yay!" I tried to sound happy but deep down I was so pissed at that girl and she knew it.

"Hi dan I'm Dessie nice to meet you"
Dan blushed and smiled but didn't answer.
"Oh, dan is taking a vow of silence until Zach finally- OUCH!" Zach kicked Patty in the shin to stop her from saying the rest.
"what was that for??" She mocked "haven't you told Dessie yet?"
"Told me what?"
"Nothing. Patty's just taking the piss, don't listen to her"
I glared at them both suspiciously.
"Well, me and dan should get going... we'll leave you to alone" she wiggled her smug little eyebrows and with that, they both left.

"So..." Zach said in a guilty tone "those are my friends..."
"Yup."
UGH I HATE AWKWARD SILENCE.
"Patty's not as bad as she seems, she just enjoys sarcasm" he laughed
"Hm my sisters abut like that"

"Tell me about yourself, I feel like we've known each other our whole life yet we know nothing about each other"
"Okey, what do you want to know?"
"Your family, Friends. Hobbies, Background?"
"Well I grew up down south with my sister, I went to normal schools, never really had many friends in my life and my hobbies include eating, sleeping, binge watching reality TV, reading, writing, fangirling, skateboarding and traveling" I said all in one breath, missing out the bit about my family "your turn"
"Um okey, I grew up in Ohio in America, I went to a normal school and graduated to go to university in England and my hobbies are pretty much the same as your hobbies only I don't skateboard" he said, I can tell there's plenty of family stuff he missed out but I darned ask. I don't want to cross any boundaries between our friendship.

He took a step closer, his ocean blue eyes locking with my dull coffee colored ones. Sorry I'm just obsessed with his eyes I should stop it's getting creepy...

"There's something special about you Desdemona" he said and cupped my cheek whilst I just stared at him creepily like a horny teenage girl "I can't quite get what it is..."
This is to perfect, why isn't anything going wrong? Is this what it's like being an adult? I could get used to this...

I looked from his eyes to his soft pink lips, getting closer and closer to his face. I closed my eyes and braced myself for my first ever bit of human contact ever.

His lips hit mine. The whole world went in slow motion and nothing else mattered. I've never kissed anyone before but somehow Zach makes it surprisingly easy. His lips danced on mine becoming stronger and more dominant making my stomach explode with a million butterflies. I opened my eyes for a split second to see the perfect boy in front of me, enjoying himself as much as I was. Maybe it was the way his hands traveled up and down my spine, or maybe it was the way our lips fitted together like a locket, but something was making my heart pound and ache for more.
