Sienna's POV:

3 weeks later:

As I lay in Timmy's bed with my head rested on his chest, I still find it unbelievable that we've been dating for 3 weeks now. These past weeks have consisted of romantic activities nearly every day. His interests are now mine, and my dreams are now his. We still haven't told Aiden and Maddie that we are together, but we're planning on telling them soon.

I flip through the magazine I'm reading and catch up on the latest news. Apparently Tessa Brooks is dating this girl from my school, Mackayla Teli, and Scarlett Johansson is getting married to some guy named Luciano Garcia.

I continue to read until I hear the doorbell ring.

I look up to meet Timmy's eyes.

"You gonna get that?" I ask.

"Only if you come with me," he responds.

I stand up and start walking to the door with Timmy following me.

When I open it, I see that it's both Maddie and Aiden.

"Hey guys," I greet them. "What are you doing here?"

"So, when's the big day? Have you set a date yet?" Maddie asks.

"Huh? For what?" I respond, obviously confused.

"For the day you're going to stop being such a dumbass."

I'm about to say something before she continues.

"I mean, seriously? Dating him? That's gotta be the most stupid decision you've ever made."

"You told them?" I turn to Timmy.

"No. Well, yes. Ok, technically I only told Aiden. I have no idea how Maddie found out," he answers honestly.

I turn back to Aiden with an annoyed look on my face.

"I thought she knew!" he protests. "It's not my fault you didn't tell your best friend that you're now dating your enemy."

"Yeah, why didn't you tell me?" Maddie asks.

I sigh. "I wanted to," I respond. "I just didn't exactly know how to."

I look back at Timmy.

"I thought we agreed on not telling them just yet."

"I know, and I'm sorry. It just kinda slipped out," he says.

"You sure about that?" I ask.

"Yes. I would never purposely go against what you ask of me. The last thing I want is to break your trust."

"I understand. And I'm sorry for thinking you were lying to me."

"It's okay. Come here."

He pulls me in for a hug.

"This is, by far, the craziest shit I have ever seen. I really never would've believed it. Not in a million years," Maddie says with a laugh.

"It's like a soap opera. But with worse acting," Aiden adds.

I just ignore them, and as Timmy continues to hold me in his arms, everything feels right in the world. I feel safe. I feel at ease. I feel like I'm home.
