Danny's POV

I sat clutching Alice's hand as Pete and Wendy sat looking at us. Their faces didn't seem to hold the same emotion, it was like they were neutral, as in pH7, as in water, as in neither one way or the other.

"So, convince me." Pete said, "After all teenage romance... how do you knowin' it won't fizzle out?"

Alice and I looked to one another. I looked into her gorgeous blue eyes, I felt myself drowning in her glistening blue pools of beauty, and the only thing I could feel, was an overwhelming desire, an immense love, I could not imagine my life without Alice, or with anyone else. I thought for a moment before opening my mouth.

"You adore and cherish Auntie Wendy don't you Uncle Pete?" I asked rhetorically, I could feel three sets of eyes on me, and I could feel without even looking at Alice she was confused. "When you look into her eyes, just gaze into her eyes, I bet the world stops doesn't it? Nothing else even matters, all you feel is this amazing amount of love and admiration. You feel yourself drowning in those eyes, and you can't imagine life without her, you can't imagine not having her by your side, you can't imagine looking in anyone's else's eyes in that way and thinking wow. When you kiss Wendy, as cringe worthy as it is, you don't just feel the brush of the lips, you feel powerful emotions, you feel desire, you can taste that worship. When you hug her you never want to let go, when you hold her hands you realise that you want to be entwined with her for the rest of your life, you feel so proud of her, you'd do anything for her. Well that's how I feel about Alice... this isn't just a teenage romance any more. You think I'm too young to understand love, and maybe that's right in your book, but if this isn't love what is it? Maybe we will never know what love is? Maybe love doesn't even exist, have you considered that this might not be a question of love but a question of who your soul mate is? The one you're gonna help through all the hard times, and the one your gonna share all the good times with? The one you can't live with, but cannot live without? The one who makes the pain of the thing we call love worthwhile?" I finished.

I looked to Alice who had tears swimming in her beautiful blue eyes. I looked to Pete who seemed stunned by my speech, god I hadn't even finished yet. This was what Alice did to me, made me go off on tangents! I looked to Wendy who had a tissue to her eyes. I looked down at Alice adoringly.

"I believe Alice is my soul mate, like you two are soul mates. It's not just the big things or even the romantic things that make me love Alice, it's the everyday things! Her accent, her lifting laugh that fills the room, her piercing blue eyes, her walk, her concentrating face, the fact she's a restless sleeper, the way she makes me laugh, the way our conversations never end, we way we can talk about anything and everything, we never got lost for things to talk about. I love everything about her, I love watching her wash the dishes, I love seeing her dry, cooking, I love seeing her running around. I adore that face she has when she 'zombies' at the computer... I love her little bits of anger, you do look cute dear when you have your little frown on."

"I do not frown OR zombie!" Alice argued.

"Oh believe me dear you do." I replied smiling, I only remembered about Pete and Wendy being there when it hit me she'd broken my speech. "I love that playful banter too! I love, no I adore, no I worship Alice. Is that teenage romance?"

The room was silent. Alice squeezed my hand, her eyes were swimming in emotion. Wendy was bawling and Pete was still looking perplexed.

"Alice is the world and more to me. Sure we're only sixteen, well Alice is almost... but we're still humans. We still have feelings, emotions, the same one's you have. Maybe that makes me weird? Sixteen, I'm legal! I should be off having sex with every girl I can find, I should be thinking of all these hot models, I should have the photos of the women on my phone. Well that isn't me! I don't care if the only woman I ever have sex with is Alice! She's the only female on my mobile who's my age! She's the only one I want to share my first time with... so if that makes me weird, I'm weird and proud! But why is that weird? Look at Alice, she's absolutely amazing, she's gorgeous, funny, kind, caring, honest, a right geek on the sly, in fact I could go on and on... I already am but I want you to get it! I love her! I want to spend my life with her!"

"Alice?" Pete asked. She was wiping her eyes, I noticed tears had trickled from her eyes. She smiled at me.

"Yes?" She asked politely.

"You feel same way?" Pete pursued.

"I do. Listen, you sending my brother in here, it was actually really helpful, it made me realise something I'd never thought about really. He told me to have a good life with Danny. I asked him if I thought we'd last forever and it was in that moment I thought about that, no I didn't think about it, I dreamed about it! I yearned for it! I wished with every ounce of my being for it to be true. My heart lurched forward about a thousand beats! I thought about going to university with him, I thought about working with him, living with him, I thought about getting engaged, getting married, our first dance, I imagined carrying his child! I imagined our children, our family, I imagined proud parent moments, I imagined being old with him. And you know what? I realised in that moment, no one else could compare to Danny, I want to be with him for the rest of my life. I realised just how much I loved him, and just how eternal this love is."

I wiped my eyes, that was so beautiful. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Try and keep us apart." I swallowed the tears as I continued. "But it won't work! I'd rather live on the streets struggling than have no Alice in my life. I'd rather have nothing to my name than live a life with Alice. In fact I'd have any life, as long as I had Alice. If the world crumbled, I know I'd survive because I have Alice by my side! So, you try and break us apart, you send her away! I'll only follow!"

"You're young, you're both sixteen near enough anyway, and I..." Pete's voice sounded hoarse. "I can see you both love each other. We never wanted to split you apart, but you have to understand we had to make sure our suspicions were correct, imagine if we'd said yes straight off and you two had split up? What would have happened then? This isn't ideal, but well... I get it. BUT there are some strong rules we'll discuss later."

"Yes!" I shouted, I hugged Alice who chuckled but otherwise hugged me back, I kissed her gently and quickly.

"We'll leave you be... you two must remember this day when times are hard... what you two have is beautiful." Wendy smiled before dragging Pete away.

The minute they were out of sight, I pulled Alice to me and kissed her with a new found passion. I heard her murmur something but my mind was blown away.

"Forgot my bag" Wendy said.

I pulled away with embarrassment. Alice raised her hands in a 'didn't you hear me' gesture? It was only then I realised Alice had stopped after her murmur.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

"You have a lot to celebrate dears... just none of that in the front room please!" Wendy winked walking off. I nearly died of shock, Wendy being funny?

"Did you purposely ignore the 'Danny Wendy?' Were you even on Earth?"

"Couldn't tell you where I was because when we kiss like that my mind turns to mush and I forget my own name." I replied honestly.

"Sweet talker." Alice mumbled before kissing me once more... life was gonna be bliss!
