Did last night even happen? Was it all a figment of my imagination? I put a hand to my head as I check the time...9.10am

All I want to do is call my mum and tell her what happened but I don't know if she would be happy with me living with him if we have a thing going on. I get I'm 18 and she can't control what I do because I'm an adult but she's still my mother and I care what she thinks.

Blake is still asleep by the time I have come home from my classes, I lay on the couch cuddled up with a grey blanket watching Gavin & Stacey.

"LILI" the front door slams open as a blonde haired boy appears

"Reece you scared me!" I yell forgetting we gave him a spare key because him and George practically live here as well, Blake comes out the room in a loose pair of grey sweatpants and nothing else with a confused look on his face

"I need a girls opinion"

"I am a girl and I have an opinion" I stand up from my position and make my way over to the boy

"Okay so does my outfit look nice? Do I look nice?" He says with a hint of panic in his voice, he's wearing a smiths tshirt, mom jeans and his doc martens paired with a denim jacket.

"You look very handsome why?" I ask giggling watching him look at himself in the reflection of the microwave

"I've got a date" he smiles into the reflection looking proud of himself

"With who? How did you meet?"

"Her name is Holly and I met her on tinder" he says nervously admitting her met her on a dating app

"Be safe because for all we know you could go back to her house and her wallpaper is made out of children" I point at him hoping he hasn't found some psycho maniac.

"Lili don't worry I'll send you my location so you know I'm safe okay?" He smiles standing in front of me putting his hands on my shoulders

"Okay" I reply, tinder has always scared me because I know so many horror story's about how people who have been killed because of the people they've met on the app.

"If I feel a bad vibe I'll text you"

"Okay good, remember to treat her like a princess if she doesn't give you murderer vibes"

"I will because all women are princesses" he winks then we say our goodbyes as he leave the apartment.

"I guess somebody was a little nervous" Blake chuckles walking over the the fridge and opening it to get out the milk so he can make himself some cereal

"I think so" I reply, I feel nervous around him? Maybe it's because we confessed our love to each other last night just maybe...

Blake and I have been laying in my bed together for a few hours watching that 70's show on Netflix then I receive a text from Reece saying 'this date is going so bad at this point I would be happy if she murdered me' I laugh out loud telling him to make an excuse to leave, he replies telling me to call which I gladly do.

"Hello why are you calling?" He says and I laugh at his fake reaction, acting as if he didn't just ask me to call him.

"Basically Blake thought it would be funny to put his hand in the blender and now he doesn't have a hand" I lie knowing Reece wouldn't put us on speaker "and now he's bleeding to death but it's fine because we've decided to use his hand meat to make some human burgers do you think they'll taste nice?" I ask as Blake sits next to me biting his bottom lip to stop the giggles from coming out

"Oh my god is he in pain?"

"Not really, he's just laying next to me handless" I reply turning to Blake watching him tucked under my blanket with his hands out covering his face

"Okay I'll come meet you guys at the ER" he says panicking or should I say acting, somebody get this man an Oscar.

"Please don't we're having a good night sitting in bed" Blake chuckles and the call ends

"I think the date went well" Blake smiles cheekily

A few minutes later Reece barges into our apartment taking Blake and I by surprise, we've been watching skins to pass the time.

"What happened?" Blake asks sitting up but pulling the blanket up with him to cover his bare chest from the cold

"It was so awkward all she talked about is her ex and how he is a scum bag" he peels off his jacket and throws it to the arm chair, he looks tired and stressed out as he motions for us to move over so he can lay in bed with us.

"She seems like a wanker" I reply causing Reece to let out a chuckle, I don't want him to be upset over some girl who is clearly not over her ex

"I wanted to rip my hair out"

"Not your blonde locks" I sarcastically say putting my hands over my mouth, Blake chuckles a bit, his smirk turning into a wide smile, highlighting the dimples in his cheeks.
