Gaskarth had really made an effort this evening; it was safe to say I was impressed. Chinese food (my favourite take away) was lining the large dining room table which Isobel (his mother) had recently fallen in love with. In the living room there was a stack of dvds piled by the tv and a coffee table had been placed in the centre of the room with popcorn, a variety of crisps and juice on it. Me and Jack seemed to be the last people to arrive as all the boys and Beth where sat in the living room chatting, I ran over to Beth and gave her a huge hug "It's not like I'm hungry or anything Jenna" I looked over to Rian who winked at me his perfect teeth gleaming "Come here" I went over to receive my hug. One by one I hugged the boys until it came to Gaskarth. "Thanks for this Alex it really means a lot." I give him a quick hug and when I had pulled away it was safe to say he was beaming. "LETS GO GET SOME FOOD PEOPLE!?" Laughing at how hungry Jack was we all clambered into the kitchen to pile our plates with yummy food.
"Jennnnnaa… do we have to watch this?" I looked at Beth's pleading face as she held the Batman dvd with disgust. "Fine…" Her face lit up as I looked back through the dvds "… how about Peter Pan?" I heard Jack cheer which made everyone else giggle, Beth nodded in agreement and clambered back to snuggle into Zack under a fleece blanket. "One of my favourite films" Chirped Alex, I placed the dvd on and crawled to my bean bag on the floor to watch the film, out of the corner of my eye I couldn't help but notice Alex watching me.
After a few hours Beth, Rian and Zack had to leave; Jack agreed to drive them all home whilst me and Alex made some sense of the house. I gave everyone a hug goodbye and whispered to Beth "I need to talk to you after… Tomorrow come round and we'll talk." She nodded in agreement and got into the car. I stood with Gaskarth at the door as the boys drove away, I couldn't help but feel nervous; I was developing feelings for him that I didn't think I'd ever possess and the thing that made me so happy was that I'd overheard him talking to Jack so knew he liked me back. We cleared up in absolute silence; neither of us spoke but it wasn't awkward at all. We had finished within 10 minutes and both sank onto the sofa, waiting for Jack to return and take me home. "Thanks for tonight Gaskarth, it was a good laugh." I tried to make conversation so that I didn't have to worry about making my feelings clear; I wasn't sure whether I wanted him to know yet… or even at all. He looked at me with his gorgeous brown eyes that twinkled and made me want to kiss him. "No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself… it wasn't as… as energetic as last night." My mind flashed to the evening earlier to the kiss. He looked at me for my reaction, sighed and tried to change the subject. "Two nights of my company aren't you lucky Jen? Yes I said Jen." His smile practically light up the room and I couldn't help laugh. I was lucky, girls would love to be in my position; Alex's attention completely on you. He actually seemed to care for me… maybe he wasn't as much as a jerk as he used to be. I mean he had made an effort tonight because I was upset… that must count for something and he had told my brother that he really cared for me. I couldn't take it anymore, his scent was intoxicating, his eyes staring into my soul, I bite my lip and then leaned in for another taste of Alexander William Gaskarth. He responded and began to lean into the kiss, the space between us being reduced, his scent washing over me and his breath softly falling onto my lips… that's when the front door opened.
