I nervously paced back and forth in my dorm room. I'm going to ask Brittany to be my girlfriend. Someone knocked on the door and I took a deep breath before opening it. "Hey Bran." She smiled as I let her in. She had on an UCLA sweatshirt and a pair of running shorts. She wrapped her arms around my neck, standing on her tip toes. "Hey shortie." I chuckled as she pulled away. She rolled her eyes playfully and sat down.
"Did you get our favorite?" She asked and opened the Papa Johns pizza box. The smells went into our noses and we both sighed happily. Our favorite pizza was a supreme pizza without onions. "Are we going to watch Teen Wolf?" She asked and I nodded. "Let's start that silly 80's movie." I said before turning it on.
Brittany sat between my legs and I had both of my arms around her waist. The movie was almost over. "Brit." I asked. "Hm?" "Can I ask you something?" I bit my lip. She turned as she could face me. "What's up?" "I wanted to know if you wanted to be my girlfriend?" I bit my lip. She smiled and played with her charm bracelet. "Of course Brandon." She said. I smiled as she closed the gap in between us. She wrapped her arms around my neck before kissing me.

"I got you something." I said and she smiled. "What?" I pulled a tiny bag out of my pocket. "A charm!" She smiled widely. "Yeah because I have the key to your heart so..." I said before taking it out. She watched as I attached it to the silver bracelet. She looked at it before kissing me. "I love it and you." She smiled. "I love you too." I smiled back.
