*Jenna's POV*

Everyone's left Ben and Sophie's apart from Matt and I. Matt stands up and kisses my head.
"Right I'm gonna dash out, I'll be back soon. Don't worry." He says. I just look at him and nod. As soon as he's gone I give Ben a look, "Why does Matt keep slipping off? What's he up to?" I ask. Ben and Sophie glance at each other and smile knowingly.
"You'll find out soon enough..." Sophie remarks and then goes into the kitchen. Ben asks me, "So, I've been meaning to ask... You and Matt?! How did you. You know get together?"
I grimace and he starts to look concerned and then I launch into the story. Just as I've finished there's a knock at the door and Sophie answers it. Matt nods at her and she goes into the other room, "Jenna, you and I, we're going to go somewhere together but I need you to be blindfolded..." I nod and he gives me a reassuring hug. Sophie walks back in with a blindfold and smiles at me while passing it to Matt, Ben gazes at her lovingly and puts an arm around her and she relaxes into him naturally. Matt gently ties the blindfold around my head and mutters his goodbyes to Ben and Sophie, I try to wave but judging by the laughs, I failed... Matt takes my hand and leads me into a car, he has a quiet exchange with the driver and then shuffles in next to me with an arm around my shoulder.
Finally we arrive after what seems like forever and Matt lifts me out the car. He already knows there would be no use leading me out, I'd probably trip and fall. I hear the car drive off and Matt leads me about 10 steps forward. And then he says to me, "Now before I take your blindfold off I want to do something... You know before you see the surprise."
I nod, "Okay!?"
Matt brings me in closer to him and gently holds my head between his hands. His lips then collide with mine and it's such a shock that I freeze. Then I regain control and kiss him back. The feeling is so intense because I can't see a thing, I can only feel him and that makes me trust him so much more. I tear the blindfold off and stare up into his longing eyes. He then gestures to the path ahead, it's lit by candles and looks so romantic. Matt produces a rose from behind his back and delicately I take it. Suddenly, I'm in Matt's arms and he's walking down the path, I can see that he's longing to get to the end, so I whisper to him, "Go on, run..." And we're now flying down the path, we then stop short and all I can focus on is Matt's face. He takes both my hands in his own, after he's put me down, and stares into my eyes.
"Jenna Coleman, will you do me the honor of moving in with me?" I pause, wait... What? He's actually asking me to move in with him... But where? I look around and that's when I see it. We're standing under the porch of the loveliest house you've ever seen. I gasp and grin at Matt.
"Yes!" I whisper and pull him into a tight hug. He passes me the delicate key and I place it slowly into the lock and turn it. The inside is perfect, I can finally make the house of my dreams Matt smiles at me noting how happy I am and I grin at him and mouth thank you. Suddenly there's a knock at the door, I look at Matt questionably and he gestures for me to open the door. I open the door and- "SURPRISE!" I'm greeted by a bunch of friendly faces, Zac walks in first, followed by Ben, Sophie, Tom, Arthur, Karen, Emma and Richard. Richard stares at me and I smile at him and pull him into a hug. "Look Richard, let's be great friends. I totally understand you and don't really want to fight. We've known each other too long for that." I whisper so only he can hear.
"Thank you Jenna, thank you so much!" He replies and this time he really smiles.
In the end they all have sort of lined up, again I give Matt confused looks he just pulls me over to him and looks over to Zac. Zac gives a slight nod and then Matt lunges into a dip kiss, I'm so surprised that I just freeze again. I'm really not good at all the kissing today. At least I know that the kissing is good, it makes me feel nervous and excited. I start to kiss back and then realize that he's trying to recreate our many out-takes of our kiss in the snowmen. In my mind I smile and then I really get into the kiss, gosh this is very long isn't it... But it isn't boring, not at all it's great! Maybe I'm just thinking super quickly and my brains being hyperactive... Oh finally oxygen I smile at Matt and whisper to him, "I know what you were trying to do." He winks at me and then glances over at Zac who looks pleased with himself.
I feel like I did when Matt first expressed a proper love interest in me (I didn't realize it at the time but you know). We were in an interview and the question was what was your favorite scene to shoot in the snowmen, and Matt said our kiss scene. That made me happy in fact it made me feel a bit like I'm feeling now.
Emma and Karen then approach me, "Hey Jenna, we have a great idea..." Emma starts.
"Yeah, would you mind if we had a massive sleepover together probably at Ben's or Zac's or something seeing as there isn't anything here yet." Karen finishes.
I look at both of them and nod excitedly, we all burst into a group hug and everyone sort of looks at us and just laughs it off.
