He knocked on the door 10am sharp, just like he promised. Sarah was still getting ready, as usual, and sat in front of her mirror straightening her hair. She heard the doorbell ring relentlessly and finished styling her hair before stumbling down the stairs. When she actually got around the inviting him inside, she seemed out of breath and he raised his eyebrow at her."Tired?"He asked, a little confused, knowing perfectly well Sarah never did sports of any kind. "Oh it's nothing, I just ran down the stairs" Sarah giggled, a little out of breath though. "Fine then, you ready?"Kellin grinned at her, taking her hand in his and squeezing it gently. "As ready as I'll ever be" Sarah insisted, sliding her hat onto her head, pausing for a moment to take in his defined features-his playful blue eyes, jet-black hair and a cute smile that always made her heart fluttered when it was aimed at her.
They pulled into McDonalds and Sarah squealed as he drove around searching for a parking space. "Oh, by the way, happy Valentine's Day" He chuckled, parking up his car and turning the ignition off. Sarah's eyes were wide and she was smiling like a child that had got lost in a candy store. Kellin opened the door for her and stepped aside to let her walk in first, after sliding his shades on. Sarah headed straight for the counter and gazed around, transfixed, at the menus on the walls."What am I allowed to have?"She sniggered, looking over at him. Kellin merely shrugged."Whatever you desire" Sarah squealed once again and started ordering both of their food.
After ordering, she took his hand in hers and they both chose a table in the corner together. He slid in on the bench beside her and she laid her head on his shoulder."Thank you for this" She whispered, whilst the waitress brought their food over and laid it on the table. He smiled at her, leaning over to grab a few chips and plough them into his mouth. Sarah did the same and started stuffing them into her mouth."Here let me feed you "He suggested and dipped his chip in the tomato sauce. Sarah had her mouth ready wide ; the chip didn't go in her mouth. He "accidently" missed her mouth and hit her nose, smothering her nose in tomato sauce. "I'll get you back for this" She glared at him, wiping the remaining sauce off her nose. Kellin bemused and tapped her nose, which made her cheeks flush."I'd like to see you try" His voice coated with sarcasm as he scoffed at , they both finished their meals after various name-calling, other food fights and Sarah stealing a balloon just so she could suck in the helium. Out of the McDonalds, they both paraded and headed for his car."I have another idea" He chuckled.
This involved the ice-rink and co-ordination, Sarah lacking co-ordination immensely. They reached the ice-rink and briskly walked through the cold to reach the reception where he insisted on paying for the tickets. After paying for the tickets, he lifted her up in his arms and carried her over to the benches to put on her skates, cradling her like a young child. "I can walk you know" She rolled her eyes but he ignored her constant insisting."I know, it's just more fun this way" He stated and perched her on the edge of the bench."I'll just go get the skates" As he walked away, she undid her laces of her beloved purple vans and put on a pair of thick, fluffy socks. He returned, carrying two pairs of skates, and knelt down in front of her to assist Sarah in putting her son, before putting his own on."Nice socks" He smirked and she playfully punched him."You're just jealous"
Kellin held Sarah's hand tightly as they both stumbled onto the ice rink. "You realise I've never been skating before?"Sarah enquired, clawing at the side so she wouldn't slip over not quite grasping the concept of ice-skating. "Well I know now" He teased and skated away from her a little, nevertheless he still held her hand tightly. "Where do you think you're going?"Sarah asked alarmed as he started dragging her away from the edge gradually. "Well I hope you're not going to stay there for the whole time" He raised his eyebrow, his gaze challenging. Sarah sighed and slowly ambled away from the edge, her grip on his arm like steel. "Let's hope my arm is still intact after this trip, eh?"A boisterous smile beaming at her as her cheeks flushed and she retracted her claw-like grip from his arm. "Sorry" She mumbled.
It was a while before he managed to convince Sarah that the ice wasn't out to kill her and that it was safe to skate away from the edge. All the same, they skated around together, arm in arm, Kellin occasionally looking at her and smiling at her-a smile which she couldn't help but return. Too engrossed in each other, they both skated around a corner quickly. He wasn't looking where he was going, neither was she and the blade of his right skate slipped and slid under her blade. She fell. He fell. Both of them landing on the ice, a tangle of limbs. His eyes instantly darted to her and he wrapped his arm around her in a protective embrace."Are you okay?"He asked his words full of concern. Sarah was laughing-this being what she did, usually at the worst times. She nodded her head rapidly and planted a kiss on his lips."I'm fine" He was still worried as his eyes raked over, his lips parted a little. "You su-"His words cut off from her lips kissing his. He closed his eyes, instantly deepening the kiss and ran his slender fingers through her ginger locks. That had definitely shut him up. Sarah giggled and continued kissing his lips quickly."Excuse me? Could you please not do this here?"Behind them a voice droned. She glanced up at the stranger, a young boy-probably late teens-scowling at them, his dreadlocks spilling over his face. "Oh sorry" Sarah's cheeks were a bright scarlet and Kellin quickly hauled her up, skating with her over to the edge.
Once off the ice and back into their regular shoes-Sarah's purple vans and Kellin's black boots-together, they both left the building. He glanced over at her, a look of nothing but pure love, and chuckled."Well how have you enjoyed today?"He enquired, squeezing her hand gently. "The best valentine's day ever" Sarah squealed and hopped on the spot clapping her hands. He smirked at that goofy grin plastered on her face. "I'm glad to have made you happy" His dark eyes never leaving her whilst he pulled her closer to him, her side brushing against his now. After helping her into her seat, kissing her lips cheekily and starting the ignition, they were speeding home. He was used to driving fast and he tapped his foot to the beat of the song blaring out on the speakers. The sun glinted off his shades when he reached her house and parked up on the sidewalk. "Will you walk me up to the door?"Sarah asked timidly and giggled when he accepted. Hand in hand, they strolled up to the door, the sun setting behind them. She unlocked her door and turned to let her eyes take one final look at him. "Thank you" She mumbled, stopped by the feeling of his lips caressing hers gently. She sighed softly and grabbed a fistful of his jet-black locks, kissing him back. He pulled away and winked at her, making her heart pound, and turned to walk back down the path to his car. "I love you" He chimed, before slamming his door shut and driving off.
