Lovella sat on the sofa her hands clenched tightly together as she explained why she was here now instead of in a couple of weeks.

"The house is gone." My mouth fell open at the news and I couldn't seem to find the right words as I looked at my cousin. What did she mean gone.

"Gone?" My throat was dry and the word came out quiet and croaky.

"It's been burned down," I could see her eyes filling up and mine did the same as that was the house we had grown in and despite the lack of love we received from our parents we had each other and had fun.

I didn't need to ask who had done it when the whole town had despised us.

"You're moving in." It wasn't a suggestion more a statement. I looked at my cousin, my sister, and I knew she wasn't safe there, neither of us were.

"No, it's okay I'll find somewhere to stay." She was looking at her lap in despair and I knew then at that moment there was know way I was letting her leave.

"You're staying." I went over to her and hugged her tight, we were a family and we stuck together.

"Thank you" she breathed and I smiled as I wiped the tears that had fallen from her eyes and smiled at her.

I tugged at her blonde her that was similar and slightly darker than my own and pulled her up towards the spare room.

"Well we've got to clean up." She laughed and we both mentally prepared ourselves for the long horrible task that awaited them.

"So you really weren't lying about this date?" Lovella said skeptically with one eyebrow raised.

I felt my cheeks turn red at the mention of Ajax but kept my cool, or at least I thought I did.

Laughter tore out of Lovella and I growled at her whilst throwing a cushion which only made her laugh harder.

I looked out of the window to see the beautiful moon high in the sky and all I could think about was Tomorrow.

A hand waved in front of my face shaking me out of my love full stupor.

"You really like this guy, huh" it wasn't a question so I didn't answer. I only stared at her with a goofy smile on my face as she laughed.

"I'll take that as a yes" she smiled again and handed me the hot chocolate that she had made, making my thoughts once again return to Ajax. Man I had it bad.

"Isn't funny how quick time flies. it seems like it was just yesterday when we had planned our dolls' weddings and tomorrow I'm gonna go on a date with..." I trailed off not sure whether to mention his name so that Lovella could phsyco analyse it or simply say him.

"Your potential future husband." I spewed my drink all over my lovely coffee table and growled at Lovella as I rushed for tissues to clean my mess.

She simply shrugged her shoulders and drank her drink.

"You can't say you haven't thought about it." I felt like a creep admitting it but I had thought about it. He was the first guy I had ever felt something for and that had to mean something, didn't it?

"You betch" I totally took back what I had thought about her being sweet, my cousin was a pain in the ass, a large, stabbing pain.

We had managed to finally finish cleaning the spare room, so Lovella had gone to sleep a couple of minutes ago, whilst I looked through my box of clothes that I still had not unpacked and sighed in frustration.

I almost gave up when I felt something, I pulled the material out and saw it was one of my favourite dresses and stared in excitement. Sure it was really creased but that could be fixed by some ironing.

I finally fell asleep despite my nerves for tomorrow.

"Staring won't make him come any faster." Lovella gave me an empathetic smile as I waited for Ajax.

Of course it was seven and I felt my heart freeze slightly at the prospect of his interest in me being a joke. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves but it didn't seem to help.

I had put my hair into a French plait and put on a light sweep of blush and mascara as I wanted to look good; good for him.

Lovella came up behind me and I felt my hair come lose, I turned around and gave her the stink eye.

"You look like you've had twenty years of Botox when do your hair like that. She then pulled her forehead back and made wide eyes whilst she stared at me. I couldn't help but laughter at her.

"Let me." She picked up the brush from the counter in the bathroom and gently ran it through my unruly curls. She then spun me around and I stared at her smiling face.

"He will love you for you" she said this with a smile, so to lighten the moment I planted a wet one on her cheek to which she responded with a disgusted groan. But then she smirked.

"Kiss test?" My face turned into a tomato and I shoved her.

I was sure ever since I had met Ajax my skin had achieved all new bright shades of red. But I smiled, I may be embarrassed, but I was happy and embarrassed. That sounded better in the movie.

The doorbell rang and I help my breath. I walked slowly taking a deep breathe ready for whatever would happen with the lovely man on the other side of that door.
