Zoë had only been gone fifteen minutes when Matt cornered Simon and
spoke to him about what he had seen earlier.
"Simon we need to talk" said Matt, "About what?" Simon asked innocently, "You know what Simon, I'm not blind I saw what was going on with you and Zoë when I walked in" "Oh that, what's wrong with that we have been going out for 4 months its not like I just met her." "I know I just worry about you. I don't want you to do something you will regret later and anyways you're far to young to be doing 'that'" "What's 'that' exactly?" Simon asked, "You know what I mean Simon just be careful okay?" "Okay Matt we will be."
Simon was surprised how easy his brother had been on him. But then his train of thought went back to Zoë and he realised why his brother hadn't argued with him as much as he'd expected. His whole family seemed to like Zoë as much as he did. His parents thought she was good for him because not only did she get good grades at school but she also went to church with them every Sunday and often came home afterwards and helped Annie make lunch for everyone. Matt liked the fact that she had strong ambitions to be a doctor like him and they often talked for hours (until Simon butted in) about why they wanted to be doctors and what kind of medicine they wanted to go into. Mary, Lucy and Ruthie liked having another girl around to gossip with and it had been Lucy that introduced the two of them so Zoë had been friends with them before Simon and her started going out. And the twins liked her because she would always play with them even when their own brothers and sisters were too busy themselves.
After his dinner Simon called Zoë at her house to check she had got home good but mainly just to hear the sound of her voice.
Zoë was making herself some dinner when Simon called:
"Hi gorgeous" he said as she picked up the phone, Zoë laughed "Hi honey" she replied "How are you baby," Simon asked "I was good but I'm even better now that you've called" "Me too. You know what tomorrow is don't you?" "Yeah, Saturday" Zoë said jokingly, "No I know it's our 4 month anniversary. I can't believe we've only been together 4 months I feel like I've known you all my life." "I've got something special lined up tomorrow I'll pick you up at 6 okay?" "No, don't worry I was going to go to the mall with your sisters tomorrow so I'll just get ready at your house and we can go from there. Is that okay?" "Yeah sure" "Look Simon I am really sorry but I've got to go. I'll see you tomorrow." "That's okay. Tomorrow it is then." "Bye" "Bye. Sleep well. Kiss kiss." "Kiss kiss"
