I woke up as peacefully as I had fallen asleep, although this time Ross was stirring a teaspoon in one of my mismatched mugs. I smiled as he walked over, wrapping my hands around the mug he handed me. "Do I met up with your cuddle buddy requirements?" I asked, watching him fron the corner of my eye. "I wouldn't know I was asleep." He said leaning back on my couch as he sipped from his mug. "Guess I'll just have to check another time." He teased wrapping his spare arm around me shoulders as I leant back next to him. My phone buzzed with a reminder for my extra work day. I sighed looking up at him. "I have to go, raincheck?" I asked downing my drink. I quickly got into more comfortable clothes, pulling on my jeans and a loos t-shirt before grabbing my phone and keys and heading out the door with Ross. I gave him a peck on the cheek when he dropped me off. "See you later." He called out before driving off.
I'd only just walked inside when I was bombarded with a hug. Once I regained my balance the person in front of me came it to focus. It was Lexie. "Lexie! Hi, wow you scared me there." She laughed pulling back a little. "Was that Ross I saw?" She asked, cheekily raising an eyebrow. "Oh yeah it was.. He stayed over last night." I said, trying to hide the smile from me face. We talked for a little more before I went up to the studio and she ran off to do errands.

It was a busy day, and the hours felt like they went on forever but finally I was let out. I turned my phone on and slipped it into my back pocket as I traveled down the lift. It wouldn't stop vibrating. I pulled it out, trying to make sense of all the notifications I was getting from people I didn't know. Suddenly my Instagram and Twitter had been bombarded with questions. I tried to find out where it was all coming from, finally finding a picture Ross had posted, with the tag:
"Loving this girl."
It was a picture I'd taken on one of our first coffee times together, both of us making silly faces. I guess we really did look like a couple. My twitter buzzed, a fan of Ross' asking if we were dating. I smiled to myself as I replied.
""Are you and @rossr5 dating?" I dunno are we? @rossr5"
He replpied a few minutes later with "We are now ;)"
