Simon and I clambered into the back of the car that had come to pick us up. It was a fairly quiet car ride - I just wanted to see London by night and Simon was occupied on his phone.

We pulled up to that beautiful house and like I had the last time, I stood admiring its beauty and size. "This way", Simon said nudging me and walking towards the front door.

"So you live here with Josh?", I asked trying to comprehend their living situation whilst taking off my heels to leave by the front door. He nodded and waited at the bottom of the stairs, holding an arm open to show me upstairs. I skipped over and followed him, until we got to his room. I was slightly hesitant, considering it had been a while since I had been with a guy. I had hooked up at parties since me and Sean broke up but I could never take it further, just because I knew Sean would find out and get angry.

Feeling the alcohol in my body, and reminding myself it was time for a fresh start, I slowly took a step forward, closing the door behind me. We moved closer to kiss, his hands running through my hair whilst mine stroked his jaw. With our lips still craving each other's, he reached to the hem of his jumper wrapped around me and pulled it over my head, our lips barely parting. Slowly, our clothes started making a messy pile beside us and we moved towards the bed.

He breaks us apart to get a condom, and then returns to me. As we lie on the bed, I wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him to hover over my body, his arms by my head as he steadies himself.

My hands raked over his back and through his hair as he gently pushed into me.

"Do you want anything to eat?", Simon asked as we both lay in bed naked, tangled in the sheets. "Ice cream?", he added.

I think my eyes lit up as soon as I heard him mention my favourite food. "Yes please", I nodded eagerly.

He chuckled and rolled out of bed, pulling a pair of tracksuit pants on. "I'll see what I can find."

As he left the room, I looked around for something comfortable to wear. My eyes fell upon the pile we had created earlier, where his jumper rested at the bottom. I leapt out of bed and threw it over my head, immediately feeling warm.

I climbed back under the sheets just as he returned with a container of ice cream. As he climbed into bed he paused as he saw what I was wearing. "That's actually really hot - you wearing my clothes", he smirked, putting the ice cream and two spoons down on the bed.

Somehow, there were still things to talk about but after the ice cream finished, and even the runny left over part had been slurped out, we realised it was almost 4am and went to bed.

Did I ever call you last night? Ignore anything I said.

Can you just call me?

10.25am

I woke up and adjusted to my surroundings. I felt a presence behind me, and rolled over to see Simon, who I had only met yesterday but it felt at least like months ago.

He looked so peaceful sleeping, I decided now would be a good time to call Sean to clear up everything. I slid out and stepped onto the balcony, trying to ignore the freezing morning air.
