I'm not going anywhere

9

We part ways with Willow and head to our mates, as usual, Alex runs off and greets them first with me following behind

"Lads" I nod saying hello slipping off my scarf and stuffing it in my bag they start talking about football except me and Luke he is pretty chill but kinda gets on my nerves sometimes he is extremely judgemental about everything, but him and I just talk about music.

Alex starts fiddling with my sleeve while no one is looking and I just laugh

" when can I post the picture babe?" He whispers in my ear, I think I want to tell my brother before he finds out from someone else

" after we tell willow this afternoon" he steps back and is smiling so brightly and seems shocked.

"What, what did he say?" One of the boys Matt tries to get answers but Alex remains shocked for the next few seconds before the bell goes and we all split up and go to class, Alex and I have art first without any of the boys but those girls are in that class too, I know that they are liars now but that doesn't stop them from being cows either.

"I'm so happy!, I can't wait for everyone to know that your mine and that they can't have you" his face is literally glowing

"I don't think anyone wanted me anyway I think everyone knowing would benefit me more so people can stay away from my boyfriend" I laugh but his face drops and becomes angry

"DON'T TALK ABOUT MY BOYFRIEND LIKE THAT HE IS GORGEOUS AND SWEET AND HOT AND STRONG AND COOL AND AND " I grab his hand from under the table and laugh

"I don't want anyone else to want me," I say softly so just him and I can hear, I can feel myself falling in love with him and it is so amazing. I return to my work I'm starting my practical major work.

"Should we tell him when we get home or just when we're walking, I know he's going to be okay with it but Idk how to do it" he rubs his thumb on my thigh I can feel butterflies swimming around my stomach

"Babe it's going to be fine, okay, this morning he asked if I had a boyfriend"

"You what! you did it for me Alex wtf!"

" no I didn't tell him it was you, I would never" he holds on tightly
"He asked how I got him to date me but I didn't tell him maybe I can tell him about it tonight and slip that it's you so it's more casual if you want," I say yes more cause I want to hear the story from his perspective but also that would be good.

The bell rings and we move to English, my fingers twitch to hold his hand but I can't, I'm not embarrassed to be with Alex it's I'm just scared or nervous even though we're both pretty strong we could win in a physical fight but I just don't want people to be mean after he has posted his picture I'm sure I will be fine it's just before people actually know what's going on.

----------------------‐----------------------------------
Were walking home.
I'm going to tell him soon.
Well Alex is but still

"Okay, so how did you get your boyfriend you told me you would tell me after school please tell?" Willow is super eager to know

" Okay well I had had a crush on him for a really long time but he was very straight so I just excepted the fact that we would stay friends but I slowly started complimenting him like calling him gorgeous subtly stuff like that then one night we went to a party and I gave him a drink and he walked off to dance, then this girl started dancing on him he didn't seem uncomfortable at all but I was so jealous that she got to dance with him like that he looked so gorgeous in the light with his head tipped back and his eyes closed but I was really upset and gave this girl the death stare and ran off but I later found out that the boy asked her why I was mad and she had told him that I was jealous of her, he was really confused I went off to make out with a random girls to distract myself"

" wow that's pretty low what if she had feelings for you"

" I always feel bad but I was mad anyway I found out that they sat outside talking all night where he realised he think he might be Demi than he got really drunk cause he was confused and I brought him home and we ended up cuddling that night and the next day he went downstairs to make breakfast and I got scared that he was gone and I went after him and then we got in a fight and he ran off so I followed him and I told him that I don't want to lose him and stuff like that and that I was sorry then he yelled at me saying I didn't have him and I shouldn't just assume that I do just because I told him I loved him which he told me that he had feelings for me early which made me feel so so good but then I went off to the bathroom and cried because I fucked it up but he came and found me and i asked him on a date and we went out into the woods and sat under the stars and then we talked for a bit and eventually I asked out your brother he said yes and we went home and kissed properly for the first time then you came home"

" what!" Willow turns and looks at me with so much shock and then back to Alex

" your dating!?" We both laugh and nod

" wow I didn't even know this is crazy and so cool, my brothers gay!"

" demi" I correct him and he smiles and runs home the little bit that's left to go. Once we arrive we go straight to the kitchen to get food, willow is in his bedroom.

"Hey" he wraps his arms around my waist and looks me in the eyes then to my mouth, I do the same he leans in and I close my eyes gently pressing our lips together, he slowly walks me back to the bench and picks me up and places me where we had our first proper kiss not letting our lips separate his hands move down to the tops of my thighs and my mouth opens slightly letting him slip in his tongue everything else disappears and our mouths move together I pull him closer by the shirt and he moans slightly making me smile I wrap my arms over his shoulders and dive into the kiss he creeps his hands onto my hips under my shirt this feels so amazing, he gently pulls away for us to breath and smiles

" I love you" he whispers pressing his forehead against mine
" I'm gonna post the picture now" he takes the phone out of his pocket and opens up Instagram, almost the whole school follows him even the juniors but he captions it "the love of my life 🖤" he makes me blush.

"Now everyone knows your mine" he kisses my lips, nose, cheek, chin, neck and hand I wish he would have done more but I also want things to go slow. He takes a step back when Willow comes running down the stairs

"Hey um...river do you think I could invite a friend over just to study he's gonna help me with my English assessment" I have a feeling I know which friend this is.

"which friend" I hop off the bench and pull out some things from the cupboard to make dinner

"uh just Harri"

" is harri by any chance the boy from the party" his whole face goes pink

"sure but take things slow alright don't scare him off and you can stay downstairs"

"awesome thanks he'll be over at 5 30" he runs off upstairs and jumps in the shower I can hear the tap turn on

"Did I scare you?" Alex sits on the bench and says quietly

"what?" I have no idea what he's on about

"was I too fast to move in on you like I did" I turn around and pull his chin to mine and whisper

"not at all" and kiss him gently before walking back to the chopping board where I'm grating some carrots for spaghetti.

it isn't long before there's a knock at the door and I run to answer it

"hey you must be Harri"

"Yeah, that's me" the boy smiles he looks nothing like willows friends he looks like he would rather be watching a movie or reading a book than playing football and that he is actually smart I'm glad willow has good taste instead of picking some asshole from the football team that goes to parties and does stupid things.

"come on in, he is just upstairs in his room" he follows behind me up the stairs and I show him Willows room I don't mind them being upstairs, I walk out

"door open" I yell as I walk down the stairs, I can hear Alex laugh from the kitchen.
