We decide to go for pizza. I thought it might be easier for Emily than messing around with cutlery. We chat for a couple of hours and go on to a nightclub. I see Emily is nervous so I hold her hand tightly and lead her to the dancefloor. I wrap my arms around her and we sway to the music. This feels so good. I see a couple of guys glancing over at us. They must find her as beautiful as I do.
Angie goes with her to the toilet a little while later and all of a sudden there's shouting. The two guys who were looking at Emily have followed them and are giving Emily a hard time. I grab Mike and we run over.
"Get your hands off my girlfriend" I shout, pulling one of them away. I'm easily 4 inches taller than him and he backs up pretty quickly.
I gather her into my arms and lead her to a seat.
"Girlfriend?" she whispers.
"Well, only if you want" I say, rubbing the back of her hand with my thumb.
"I don't know what to say" she mumbles. "I've never had a boyfriend".
"Well I'd be honoured to be your first" I say, gently kissing her.
She looks up and it's as if she's looking into my eyes.
"Yes".
