She was pulled closer. Oh. Wow. He wanted this? He really wanted this? This wasn't a joke. It felt as if her heart almost skipped a beat. She's had kisses before, but not like this. Not this wonderful. Not this perfect. Her fingers ran through his damp hair. This was...almost too good to be true.

He guessed this explained the weird feeling he'd been having. So Lance and Madison were right after all. He never thought he'd really enjoy something like this. She wouldn't let go and say 'haha, fifty bucks for me' like that girl had to her, would she? He knew he was stupid, he knew he was too trusting, but he really loved her.

She was the one to pull away first. Not that she wanted to, no. She wanted to stay in his embrace for hours on end, but one thing lingered on her mind. "...What do we do now?" She asked a little breathless. That question appeared in the back of her head when they first locked lips in that photo booth, and now it was the only thing there. What would they do? What should she do? This whole thing was completely new to her.

🌀

That was a good question. What now? He spent a few seconds just breathing before he answered. "Do you want to....um....date?" That was what girls used to ask him. Except with more confidence, and more along the lines of 'here's my number, take me out to dinner'.

●

...He wanted to date her? She opened her eyes and looked at him. "...Do you?" Well, it might of been a silly question, but she wanted to make sure. If he did, she wanted to without a second thought. Not without his consent as well, at least.

2015-08-12 21:37:22

🌀

Was she trying to find an excuse to say no? ".....yes?" If she said 'are you sure', he was just going to give up.

2015-08-12 21:41:41

●

A smile spread across her face. "Then I would love to."

2015-08-12 21:43:10

🌀

Well, that was a relief. He smiled back. "Oh. Th-thank you."

2015-08-12 21:44:23

●

"There's no need to thank me." She should be the one thanking him. For all he's ever done.

2015-08-12 21:51:22

🌀

"Yes there is. You could have just said no and found someone better."

2015-08-12 21:53:10

●

"Are you sure about that? Because I don't think I could find anyone who is as great as you are."

2015-08-12 21:54:48

🌀

"...yes, I am sure..." That was an outright lie, basically everyone on the planet was better than him.

2015-08-12 21:59:04

●

"Well, either way." She didn't want to argue with him. Not right after this wonderful moment. "You know me in a way not many people do, so by default, I think you're the best."

2015-08-12 22:03:59

🌀

Well, technically, Lance knew her a lot better, but...okay. "Thank you, um...you are the best too. Not in the encouraging grade sticker sort of way. I mean. You are great."

2015-08-12 22:25:33

●

"...Well even the best deserve gold star stickers some times." She joke with a slight chuckle. "But I get what you mean."

2015-08-12 22:28:33

🌀

He glanced away and rubbed his neck nervously. "...right. Good. Uh. So what now?"

2015-08-12 22:32:51

●

She looked down. At least the snow was starting to slow down. "I'm uh... not sure."

2015-08-12 22:33:56

🌀

When they did manage to get back, they arranged to get together and watch a movie the following night. That was how dates worked, right? So now they sat curled up in the living room above the shop with Twilight playing on the TV.

●

When Ivory told Lance the news, he basically high-fived her all the way to hell and back. Now? He managed to get Kinsley and Clarnez out of the house with him for once, leaving the place to themselves. What they did in that alone time? Twilight. Of course it was Twilight. Occasionally, Ivory would glance up and smile at Zane, happy that she was currently in his embrace.

2015-08-12 22:52:34

🌀

Zane had his arms around her and his head on her shoulder, watching the movie sleepily. He was starting to doze off. He'd had a late shift, and since it was nearly Valentine's day, the store had been crowded with people buying last-minute sweets and cards. He'd looked himself, but they just seemed too cheesy. So instead he'd gotten a rose he planned to give her before he left.

2015-08-12 23:00:33

●

This time when Ivory looked up, she noticed that Zane's dazed expression. "Tired?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

2015-08-12 23:04:50

🌀

He yawned. "Yes, sorry, long day at work...."

2015-08-12 23:07:10

●

"It's alright. If you want to nap, you can."

2015-08-12 23:07:58

🌀

"...but...it is our first date."

2015-08-12 23:09:07

●

"And I don't mind if you sleep. I'll still be here when you wake up."
