Off Camera

nineteen

a year earlier

David and I had been going out almost everyday for two weeks and I'm sure I really like him. And I'm pretty sure he likes me too... Or I hope.

I want to take things to the next level. Because right now we're really just friends hanging out everyday. I want to put a label... Like boyfriend and girlfriend? I don't know if he thinks I want to move too fast, but I just think he likes me and I like him too.

I grunted and sat up in bed. My house needed some furniture. I decided that today I would go to ikea and pick out some cheap things to fill my house.

Do I want a white or grey shower curtain? A white or black table? Do I want place mats? Ideas about my house filled my head as I drove through the parking lot trying to find a spot. Finally, I parked. When I got inside I walked around trying to look for a cheap couch.

I found this cute beige couch that was a good price. I turned to corner of ikea, it was the table section. I smiled as I saw two familiar faces. David and Alex, buying a small white table.. Of course. Oh look, David was holding a camera, of course! I laughed at them and walked over.

"Hey!"

Alex and David's head turned towards me. David's eyes lit up, "Hey Liza!"

"Buying a white table because you," I turned to Alex, "can't stop breaking them?" I laughed referring to David's vlogs.

Alex laughed too, "Oh yeah, we're gonna buy like 20 tables and break them all!"

"All for a video?" I thought about it for a sec, "Makes sense.." I said while laughing. David laughed again.

"So what are you doing here?" David questioned a little quieter while Alex wandered away.

"I was actually looking for some furniture to fill my empty house!"

"Oh cool! Hey, I've been wanting to ask you something, mind if I come over tomorrow?"

I smiled suspiciously, "Why can't you ask me now?" I teased.

He laughed, "You'll have to wait and see!"

On my way home, with a car full of  part of a couch, lots of bowls and cups, lamps, a coffee table and some smaller decorations, I felt pleased with my haul. I sighed as my car started to come to a stop behind a long line of cars. Traffic hour.

As I sat in traffic, I thought about something I could do to boost my career more. Maybe I'll audition for something.. Hmm.

The next morning, I woke up to my phone ringing. I smiled as I read David💗 I happily accepted and put the phone up to my ear.

"Hey, good morning! I'm picking you up at noon. Okay?"

"Okay! What are we doing?"

"Hmm, well I was thinking we could just go to Zane, Todd and Heath's place with every and hang out a bit. But I also wanted to be alone with you.. So maybe we could escape from them a little early."

I laughed into the phone, "Sounds fun."

A few hours later I opened the door and there stood a very handsome David with his usual black shirt, black pants and black hat.

I smiled at him, "Hey babe, looking really," I paused looking him up and down.

"Black?" He interrupted.

"That's the word!" I laughed as I held open the door a little wider.

"You don't look to bad yourself!" David beamed walking in, "I like your cast!" We both laughed.

"Let's try to make this kiss a little less ridiculous." I said softer and David kissed my lips. As we pulled away I smiled and hugged him.

"Let's get going?"
