Unthinkable Romance

Chapter 14: Did Ash and I? Did We?

The next morning, Serena woke up feeling different than most days. It was like something important had been added to her life, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was. Her mind fixated on the person that she thought most about since September.

'What happened last night?'

Serena sat up and scratched her head. She shrugged it off and stepped into the shower. As the hot water hit her face, her gooey eyes lit up. They widened in realization. She turned the shower off and sat on the toilet.

'Did Ash and me? Did we?' She thought it was too good to be true as she frantically dialled Ash's number.

'Hey sweetie!' chimed Ash. He spoke in a slow romantic voice.

'What exactly happened between us yesterday?'

'Don't you remember?' Ash's heart sank a little.

'I think I do, but I don't believe it. Did it actually happen?'

'Well it depends what you mean by it.'

'You know, the I love you confessions.'

'Yeah, that totally did happen.' Ash smiled goofily.

'Oh my god, so does that mean we are... you know... an item now?'

'Well I sincerely hope so!'

'Well I guess we are then.'

Serena was grinning ear to ear. Ash's heart skipped a few beats.

'You know I'm officially the luckiest man in the world as of now. Hang on a minute, the exact time is 10:07am, Saturday the 12th of July 2014.' Serena laughed, finding Ash's preciseness amusing.

'Well I think I better record that down too.'

'Has anyone ever told you that you have the cutest laugh?'

'No, I don't believe anyone has.' Serena twirled her hair as her new boyfriend flirted with her.

'So, we've got that prom coming up next week Friday...'

'Oh yeah, I can't wait!'

'Nor can I. But now that we are more than friends, I think that we should tell our friends about us. What do you think?'

'Yeah, we should! But try not to rub it in their faces, cause then we'll just come across as annoying friends.'

'Yeah, true. And of course, you'll be my date to the prom, right?'

'Of course honey. We can make all the other girls jealous.'

'Yeah and not to mention all the guys too!' Serena laughed.

'I'm not so sure about that, but ok then.'
