Hazel's POV:
I am standing outside Dylans door. Why. He's surely going to find it weird if I ask to stay at HIS house. I knock on the door. How am I going to say this. Dylan opens the door in a rush. He smiles when he sees me.
"Hazel."
I smile and notice that his shirt is off. Oh God that totally makes it easier. I stumble when I speak and I can't get the words out. He pulls me inside quickly and we are suddenly very close to each other. I can't stop looking at his lips. They look so soft... I stand there not knowing what to do. He quickly apologizes and says that the people from the asylum were here. Oh no. Oh no. I almost want to cry. He reassures me and I end up in a breakdown. But he said it was okay. How can someone be so kind to someone like me. I swear it's a phase. It can't be real. Can it? After a long pause he randomly  suggests we go swimming. Swimming? In clothes. Okay then.

We get to the pool and I only realize then that I don't want to ruin these clothes. Are you kidding me?
"You can just swim in your underwear if you want."
Did I just hear that right. I hesitate at first but then just agree. He's not a perve I know he isn't. I didn't have anything else to do.

After pushing Dylan into the pool I go to get undressed. I can't believe I'm swimming in my underwear with Dylan. And he's okay with it. I get into my underwear and look down. Ew. Why am I like this. I just shake the thoughts out of my head and walk to the pool.

We decide to watch a movie. Six Underground? He goes onto Netflix to get it.
"I can't believe you haven't watched this movie before."
I look at him and he's shaking his head.
"Well I'm sorry."
He goes onto his profile.
"It's such a good movie!"
I slap him.
"Oh shut up. I'm sure it is."
He raises his eyebrows and nods rubbing his chest where I hit him. I quickly apologize.
"I'm sorry."
He looks at me confused.
"For what?"
I look down.
"Hitting you."
He laughs and says
"It's fine we were only playing."
He reaches over and pokes my waist and I squeal and jump. I hit him again and we start having a little tackle on the couch. We get tired quickly and end up with his arm rapped around my neck and me sitting sideways on his lap. We both are laughing hysterically. He then let's go of my neck and rests his hand on my lower back. A shock of energy goes through my body and I feel butterflies explode in my stomach. He laughs one last time and says.
"Okay let's maybe, watch the movie."
I laugh, nod and get off of him.
The movie starts and I gotta say it's quiet enjoyable so far. I'm happy that we have the same taste in movies. I hadn't realized that his hand was still on my back. That part of my body is basically on fire. Why does he make me feel like this. My heart was racing and I get a huge amount of butterflies in my stomach.

I start to get tired near the end of the movie. I didn't realise that I was dozing. I was also resting my head on Dylan's shoulder. Oh shi- I then thought for a second. No you know what. Screw it. It feels nice and I'm tired so I'm gonna do it. He's not stopping me anyways. He starts to stroke his fingers on my arm. I relax into him more. Oh my lord that feels so niiicccceee. I shiver cause I get goosebumps. Dylan chuckles and I basically melt. That was probably one of the most embarrassing and cutest moments of my life. I sigh and frown which just makes him laugh again. How does he do it oh my lord. I smile and watch the rest of the movie.

Once the movie was finished I deside to go home. I try and convince him to take his clothes back but, ya no that doesn't work. So I say goodbye and give him a hug. I start walking and hear the door shut behind me. I smile and make it to my door. I don't think my life could get any better. I open my door and walk inside. I close my door and go to my bed. I look down at Dylan's clothes. Should I just wash them and give them back tomorrow?... I need to wash my other clothes anyways. Ya I'll do that. I take off his tracksuit pants and stop at the hoodie. I put the pants and my other clothes into the washing machine in the back room and switch it on. I wait to hear the ping and I take them out. I put them in the tumble dryer with the bunch of my other clothes and take them out. I fold them and put the pants on my desk and pack my other clothes away. I put the hoodie over my head and snuggle into it. It makes me feel safe and happy. I jump into my bed and close my eyes. Falling asleep was easy at this point.
