I sit up in bed—after an hour of contemplating why I'm awake at this early time of 8am—grabbing my phone to call Hayley. "Hello?" She chirps.

"Hey", I say. "I kissed him".

"You what?!" She exclaims.

"Ow, my ears", I whine.

"Sorry", she says, sheepishly. "Anyway, when was this?"

"Yesterday", I lie, knowing she'll get mad if I tell her it was two days ago.

"Liar".

"Fine, it was two days ago but, in my defence, I was really busy", I say, quickly.

"Busy huh?" I can practically see her wiggling her eyebrows.

"Not like that", I groan. "We kissed, that's all. Just wanted to tell you that, gotta go, bye!" I hang up on her, checking my social media apps.

Not long after, my bedroom door opens and Max walks in, sitting next to me. "Hello".

"Hi", I put my phone down. "I didn't know you stayed", he nods, slowly.

"Yeah. Megan was asleep and I didn't want to wake her. Plus, we can go to Brooke's party together", he shrugs.

"Oh yeah, Brooke's party is today—", I get cut off by Romeo entering the room.

"What are you doing in here?" He looks at Max.

"We were just talking", he puts his arms up in surrender. "Relax", he gets up, leaving the room. Romeo walks over to the bed, flopping down beside me on his stomach, putting an arm around my leg.

"Hi", he stares up at me, adorably.

"Hey", I rub my hand through his hair. "Do you think Brooke will like the gifts I got her?"

"I think she'll love them", his face moves on my leg as he talks. "Or not", he shrugs.

"Hey", I whine.

"I'm kidding. She's four, she'll love anything with a unicorn on it or something she can play with", he turns his head to the other side. "I gotta go go now. I need to go take care of some people at work", he stands up abruptly. "Bye", he pecks my lips before leaving.
