I didn't leave the flat for the rest of the stormy week. Phil only left occasionally to get groceries or pizza. When he was home, we cuddled in his bed and browsed the internet. He kept his left arm wrapped around me, so whenever I heard thunder through my music, he could pull me close.
Truthfully- it was the best week of my life. Not only had Phil and I had our first kiss, but we were finally something more. More than friends. More than best friends.
Boyfriends.
I had wondered what it would be like when I finally told Phil how I felt about him- but it was better than I could have imagined. Much more giggles and smiles.
Phil giggled to himself as I sat close to him, reveling in his warmth. "What are you laughing about?" I wondered. Phil showed me his phone. The screen displayed a familiar picture I absolutely hated.

"You prick!" I said, laughing and pushing his phone away. He laughed harder, his tongue poking out of the corner of his mouth. I blushed and snuggled closer to his chest. "You're lucky you're so cute." I said, trying to sound angry. "I'm lucky you're so cute." Phil said, returning to his phone. I chuckled. "You cheeky motherrr ffffluffer." I said, avoiding the swear word as my face grew hot. Phil giggled more now. "You know-" Phil said in a curious tone, "we haven't been on a proper date yet." I looked up at him. "Can't this count?" I wondered, not wanting to leave the warmth of him and our flat. "Absolutely not!" He said, "you deserve a proper date- and I'm gonna plan one." My heart swelled. "Phil, you don't have to-" "But I get to!" He defended, blushing, "it's my duty as the best boyfriend ever!" I scoffed dramatically, placing my hand on my chest like a sassy woman. "Excuse me? I thought I was the best boyfriend ever." I said in a fancy voice. Phil crinkled his nose teasingly. "Eh alright. You're a close second." He said plainly, a wide grin on his lips. I playfully punched his arm. "Okay, what's the date then?" I sighed, rolling my eyes. "I haven't planned it yet! Besides- it'll be a surprise!" He exclaimed. I laid my head back onto his chest, letting out a groan. "I can't wait.." I said quietly, hiding my intense blush from Phil. And I really couldn't wait. My boyfriend was planning our first date.
God, it was worth the wait. He took me around London, on a sort of scavenger hunt to several stores. Once I was loaded up with all manner of sweets and nick knacks, Phil brought me to the edge of a river, where we had an outdoor dinner. It was the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for me. I'll never forget our kiss that night. Music playing, candles flickering, and our bodies close due to the cold. It was amazing. I don't think I've ever blushed so much in one day.
