Reece's POV:
I was waiting for Sara to arrive, and my suspicion overtook me as I read the first card. 'Follow the fairy lights when Sara gets here'. Okay, but if Sara told me to meet her here why would I need to know what to do... Then I realised this was Jake. Jake set us up didn't he? So that is why he was interrogating me.
My thought space was broken when Sara turned up. 'Sara. You look- you look stunning' 'well I could say the same about you but then I'd be lying' Sara said sarcastically. I sarcastically budged her and directed her through the park. 'Reece did you do this?' I read the next card 'you did this... not me' 'Yes, yes I did'. It was pitch black and all you could see was the fairy lights and the occasional lantern that lead somewhere. It was really romantic, but I didn't see how Jake came up with this one. We both walked in awe of our surroundings. 'Reece, this is gorgeous. I couldn't have even thought this up, and that's saying something'. All I could do was chuckle. I was in awe myself.
Once we got to the little log house/shed/room thing, I opened the little entrance, and Sara stepped outside. I heard the crack of a twig, and saw Jake there, mouthing 'play safe'. I walked into the room, and really questioned how he had thought of this. The next card said 'It's a date, now eat' So that's what we did. We talked for a while and ended up lying down with Sara's head on my chest. I was so glad that Jake approved. Soon, I could call her mine, but I don't know what else Jake had in store, so I read the final card. 'If you want to go out with her, give her the pin on this and tell her to pop the balloon once you get out of the shack. I approve, just don't hurt her'. As instructed, I grabbed the balloon.
'Come on Sara, lets go home.' 'but I don't want this to end. It's been a great night. Thank you' 'hey, it hasn't finished yet, come on'.
I walked over to the balloon, and grabbed the string attached to it, and collected all of our stuff. I would come back later to collect all the lights and stuff so just took all the valuable things.
Once we left, it was about 9 o'clock. I gave her the balloon and needle, and told her to pop it, scared about what would happen next. She did as instructed and out flew hundreds and hundreds of pieces of confetti, falling over both of us. A piece of paper landed in front of Sara, she picked it up questioningly 'Sara, will you go out with me?' I was in shock, I had a feeling that that would happen at some point, but this was perfect. Mental note: Thank Jake. He's done a lot. 'Yes!' 'yes?' 'Of course I'll go out with you!'
She jumped up and wrapped her legs around my torso. 'But what about Jake?' 'I spoke to him, and he seemed happy enough to approve of it. He helped me with some of this you know'. 'So that's how you knew about the balloon thing. I told him that was the one way I wanted to be asked out. I thought he wouldn't remember'. 'but he did, so lets go home'. We intertwined our hands together to set off home. On the way, a guy in a hoodie walked past, he lifted his head so only I could see to find out it was Jake. He mouthed 'I'll sort this go home' and winked at me. I was so glad Jake and I were back on good terms and I was going out with Sara. This week has been an eventful week, and it's only Tuesday!
Sara's POV:
Wow, today has just been amazing! It was virtually a fairy tale coming true. Once we got home, we told the boys about us, and Lauren, but no one else.
We couldn't tell the public just yet so early in the competition, and the others wouldn't have been too intrigued. We went into my room and fell asleep happily, and for the first night in years I slept hiccup free.

Awwww so I loved that, and I thought the balloon idea was really cute. That was my idea and found it cute as hell but yeah I hope you're enjoying it so far...
Another think I wanted to check was whether you guys are actually enjoying this or not because I don't know whether to stop writing or not. Let me know in the comments and remember to vote. Thanks guys!
