Liam’s POV
I chose a time when I knew Zoe was home alone. I held the chocolates and tiger lilies in my hand as I tapped on the door with the other.
“Hello?” she opened the door.
She looked surprised.
“Liam” she spoke.
I didn’t say anything, shoving the chocolates and flowers forward to her.
She read the single word on the box.
“Sorry” she read quietly.
She looked up at me.
“I really am, I didn’t mean to jeopardise us” I pulled the puppy dog face on her.
“Hey, I just needed to cool off with ice cream, I’m fine now and I like that you’ve made the effort” she nodded.
I sighed in relief, wrapping my arms around her.
“Is hugging ok?” I asked.
She scoffed.
“Yeah hugging is fine”
“Good”
Zoe’s POV
I was spending a night at Liams, we agreed to set up a blanket fortress and sleep in it. I tapped on his door as I waited outside his place.
“The door’s open!” I heard him shout.
I pushed down the handle, stepping inside and taking a deep breath through my nose, omg the wonderful smells in his place.
I could definitely smell something to do with chocolate and pastry and I hastily made my way into the kitchen, dumping my bags on the way.
I wandered over to the oven, peering inside.
A chocolate cake and an apple pie was baking together.
Omg. I’m about to drool.
“I hope it’s not too much” he smiled cutely, wiping his hands on a tea towel.
“It’s just fine” I reassured.
He walked forward to me, kissing my forehead and taking my hands in his larger ones.
“Hey, I got a surprise for you, but I have to blindfold you” he spoke.
“Alright?”
His chocolate/pastry smelling hands covered my face and I wasn’t going to complain at all.
“Surprise!” he took his hands off.
My eyes widened at the sight in front of me. This was so awesome.
I took in the scene in front of me. A big white projector screen was held up between two trees with tons of cushions on a blanket further away, I spotted a small projector in front of the cushions. Around it all were cute little fairy lights, giving off a soft glow but the best thing about it was that it was covered by a glass roof, the few stars in the sky shining down on us. The air was warm and it felt cosy.
“I thought maybe we could sleep here tonight” he bit his bottom lip.
“I’d love to” I smiled.
I knew he was timid when expressing something romantically because I wasn’t one for romance, I just didn’t exactly know how to show compassion, or any emotion according to Vanessa.
