time skip (at the new house, outside)

I got out of the car and stare in awe at my new house. it was huge. if i stand outside any longer, payton will notice me. we are going to their house for dinner this evening, so i will suprise him then. i run into the house, but before i reach it, the moormeier's door open. faith walks out and runs up to ne.

me and faith have met before, over a facetime call when she walked into payton's room. we exchanged numbers and now we text everyday. i tackle her in a hug. "payton is showering. he wont be out while you are still outside, dont worry." i nod and smile. im so excited to see him. "how are you suprising him?" she asks. i grab her hand and pull her into my new house, just incase. i wanted to hang out with her anyway.

"honestly, i was thinking my mum goes first and she can say something like im running late or something. and then ill knock on the door a bit later, and everyone tell payton to get it. and then when he opens the door ill say something like "sorry im late" or idk. thats the only idea i had." i say, shrugging my shoulders.

she nods in excitement and says it sounds perfect. faith gets a text telling her to come home so, one, payton doesn't get suspicious, and two, she can help with dinner. i hugs her goodbye and she leaves.

I go discuss the plan with mum for a bit and she texts it to mrs moormeier. i go upstairs to claim my room. im obviously not allowed the master, but i look for the next biggest one.

the dinner

my mum leaves the house, telling me to come in 10-15 minutes. i feel nerves over whelm me. what if he doesn't like me? what if he thinks im annoying? i decided to ignore the nerves and focus on my excitement. i get to see him, i get to kiss him.

i check the clock and see its been 10 minutes. i walk out the door and lock it. i can see everyone in the kitchen through the window. i can see payton, he looks so happy, so cute, completely oblivious as to whats about to happen. i reach the door and knock.

"payton get the door" "why cant faith get it?" "just get it payton" i hear and smile to myself. im looking at the ground as the door opens. i look up and our eyes meet. i have a huge smile on my face as i see his expression change to shock.

a huge smile creeps on his face and he steps forward and, without hesitation, kisses me. I smile and kiss back. it lasts about 10 seconds before i pull away and whisper "sorry im late". i have the biggest smile on my face.

he pulls me into the biggest, tightest hug ever and we stay like that until i whisper "cant... breathe" he laughs and lets go and i giggle. "i cant believe you're here... and we are neighbors! im so happy oh my god" we go inside, hand in hand and i say hello to everyone.

payton looks confused. "why isnt anyone else suprised?" he asks while wrapping his arms around my waist. "we all knew" faith says and mrs moormeier says "we planned it." payton looks around in shock and goes "im the only one who didnt know? im offended" i giggle and he rests his chin on my shoulder.

"oh my god i didn't realise how tiny you are" he smiles "oh shut up" i say and laugh. The dinner ended up going really well. me and payton were basically attached by the hip the entire time. the moormeiers were all so nice and im so glad i moved here.

telling zara was hard, lets just say there were alot of tears. from both of us. but im happy. i only really had zara back in australia, sure i had other friends but none very close.

now i get the chance to restart, make new friends, hang out with my amazing boyfriend, visit home ALOT.

i start to get tired and yawn. my mum notices and tells me its time to go home. i hesitantly agree and nod slowly. paytons looks at me and smiles. i look up at him and ask "what" and giggle tiredly. "you're so cute when you're tired" i laugh and hug him before saying good bye to everyone.

"hang out tomorrow?" payton asks. i nod and hug him. hes so tall. i leave and we walk to my house. i run upstairs into my room and collapse on my bed after taking my shoes off. i instantly fall asleep, exhausted, dreaming of payton.
