I walk into the library ignoring the strange stares from the librarian and find the table that Esme and April are sat in.

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" They squeal in unison.

"What now?" I huff, taking a seat.

"You two were totally just getting it on outside!" Esme whispers.

"Sure." I scoff. Only if she knew what just happened.

"You seem quite still with all off this. Too still." April raises her eyebrow.

"Yeah. Exactly how long has this been going on Eleanor?" Esme questions.

"A few days." I shrug and their jaws practically drop.

"You've been together for a few days and you're acting like that! Jesus!"

"Like what?"

"Oh Beau." Esme mimics.

"Oh Ellie." April joins in.

"I love you so much! kiss me baby!"

"Mmm yes Beau! Have my babys!"

"Okay!"

"Oh Beau!"

"Oh Ellie!"

They pretend to kiss passionately across the table while making horrific noises and I roll my eyes at their over dramatic exaggeration.

"You two are unbelievable." I sigh and they stop their performance.

"No you two unbelievable! Only been together a few days and you can't keep your hands off each other! At least get back to his bedroom before you let him feel you up." Esme teases and I can't help but laugh along. There are no traces of judgment in her voice, only awe.

It's so bizarre to hear them talk in this way. To Beau and I, outsides episode was nothing next to out of the ordinary. But in their eyes it's like watching a nature channel were the buffalo goes over and cuddles the gazelle instead of predictably snapping her neck in two.

Maybe it's so abnormal to them because we haven't known each other for a long time. Maybe all the stares were in mild disapproval.

"You don't think we're moving too fast do you?" I blurt out. I guess the verbal diarrhoea's back.

They both look at each other before answering me.

"Well that all depends on you. We can't deny that you've had a thing for each other since the day you met, so your behaviour now that you're together isn't uncalled for at all. Especially for Beau." April explains. I get it all. Except for that last little bit.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm saying, that this relationship may be effect Beau just a tiny bit more than you." She says, trying not to offend me.

"How so?"

"The fact he hasn't been near a girl for quite a while, before you, is probably to blame for his constant need for you. Don't get me wrong, it's cripplingly cute but can also lead to making you feel a little smothered, causing you to come to the conclusion that you're moving too fast. When in reality, it's not the pace of affection that needs decreasing its the quantity." April explains again.

It does all make perfect sense in this scenario.

"Oooh, when did you become an expert in all of this?" Esme me taunts her and we all laugh together.
