"You sure you gonna be okay alone?" Daniel asked for fifth time since we got out of his car to my apartment.

"Haha," I laughed, again, "you are so sweet Daniel, but I have been living alone for almost two years now. I'm going to be more than okay."

He didn't look really happy about the fact he must leave. But... what if he mustn't.

"You wanna stay?" I asked and looked straight to his huge, brown beautiful eyes.

His eyes went wide. "Um...sure."

"Okay! So, come on in!" I said and we got inside.

"Ah." he whispered, as he thought someone is here. "it's so cozy."

I smiled. "Well, way smaller than your house, but yeah. It's super-cozy."

"I love small places like this." He said, touching the couch with the tip of his finger.

"Sure. That's why you have a palace."

We both laughed and I put my bag and his jacket on a small armchair in the middle of the living room. Then I went to the kitchen and I made us two cups of tea. It was about eleven pm, this time I'm usually sleeping, but today was different. I wanted to stay up as late as possible. God! Daniel Gillies is in my apartment and I would go sleep.

Daniel was trying Netflix on and looking for some good movie we could watch together.

"Do you like horrors?" He asked, scrolling down the horrors section.

"Yeahhh." I lied, obviously. I hated them. But when I imagined the cute romantic scene every good movie has, how two people in love watch horror and cuddling, I needed to say yes.

"How about The Conjuring? Have you seen it?" he was looking way too excited for a movie like this.

"No, I haven't." I replied and returned with two cups of my favorite tea and freshly made popcorn. It was a weird combination but I could say that Daniel doesn't mind.

The movie started and I turned off all the lights. Daniel put his arm around me and we were like an iconic couple from some romantic movie. To be honest, I wasn't really paying attention to the movie. I was focusing on Daniel. I was thinking to myself, what are we going to do after the movie? Are we going to fall asleep even before the movie ends?

I looked at Daniel. He watched the film very carefully, He was probably worried he would miss some creepy scene. Then, when he felt my eyes at him, he slowly kissed me.

Our kiss was probably five seconds long, but way too beautiful. I've never loved anyone like him before.

"I love you, India." he whispered.

"I love you even more, Daniel." I replied and kissed him all over again. We forgot about the stupid scary movie, tea spilled all over us or our buzzing phones. Ian was probably spamming our groupchat with memes. Again.

It was only me and him. Kissing and loving.
