I like it.
‘You ready Danvers?’ Maggie smiled, leaning against the doorframe to the living room.
Alex grabbed her jacket, giving Kara a quick kiss on the cheek. ‘God yes, let’s go.’
The taller girl was quieter than usual, prompting Maggie’s curiosity. ‘Everything okay? We don’t have to go out tonight if you don’t feel up to it?’
‘No, no.’ Alex shook her head. ‘I’m sorry. I do want to go out tonight. It’s just I spoke to my mum, and well, that always goes well…’
‘Everything okay?’ Maggie slipped her hand into the redhead’s as they walked.
Alex shrugged. ‘Same as usual. Telling me to make sure I’m looking after Kara, telling me to work hard, going on about me being single.’
‘Woah wait, you’re single?’ Maggie stopped walking, a smirk appearing on her face. ‘Because I was kind of hoping that you were taken…’
‘Is that so?’ Alex didn’t even bother hiding the smile on her face, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
The brunette shrugged with a playful smile. ‘Yeah, last time I checked there was this really cool, funny, awesome chick that kind of wants to be your girlfriend.’
‘Oh? When do I get to meet her?’ Alex glanced around, getting a playful punch on the arm from Maggie. ‘I’m kidding. I’d love you to be my girlfriend.’
Maggie’s dimples immediately on show with the smile she graced Alex with, leaning up to kiss her gently.
‘Come on then, to the date we go.’ Maggie winked.
After a short drive, and a full 10 minutes of Alex badgering Maggie about what their date is, they arrived.
‘I know I’m really playing into some cliché shit but I thought mini golf could be fun?’ Maggie said shyly, unsure whether it was such a good idea anymore.
‘Yes! I love mini golf, I haven’t played in so long.’ Alex grinned, making Maggie sit up straighter with an amused look on her face. ‘Thank you Maggie. Although I must warn you, I’m pretty good…’
Maggie scrunched up her nose, which Alex thought was adorable. ‘Yeah, we’ll see about that Danvers.’
After 2 games of mini golf, Maggie had conceded her defeat, crowning her girlfriend as the queen of mini golf. ‘You know what, I’m going to find something I can beat you at one day.’
‘Maybe.’ Alex teased, taking her hand in hers.
‘There’s still one more place to go for today’s date.’ Maggie told her. ‘Ready queen Ally?’
Alex blushed lightly, grinning at the nickname. ‘Ally?’
‘I mean, yeah…like I’m just trying it out.’ Maggie stuttered, shrugging with a coy smile.
‘I like it.’ The redhead smiled back. ‘I like it when you call me that.’
Maggie nodded. ‘I’ll remember that.’
‘So, where are we going?’ Alex raised an eyebrow.
Maggie tapped her nose in response, pulling her girlfriend along with her out of the mini golf park.
