AT LAST!!

   She sighed again and looked at Archie,"You look so relaxed and peaceful while sleeping. I don't care about myself. I can bear with the remarks or comments I'll get but.. I know you. I know your anger. I don't want you to hurt anyone because of me or else you career will be over before it even restarted. We don't want any bad publicity, for at least now. I'm so sorry Archie. I really like you. I don't wanna risk your future for my sake. You deserve the best and I'll make sure you get the best. Please forgive me" she didn't realise when she had started crying.

.......

Tears started to fall down and she didn't even realise when she started full on crying. She covered her face and closed her eyes. She tried to calm herself but it was no use. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at Archie with teary eyes. She sobbed uncontrollably and said in between,"A-Archie? You-You were awake?"

Archie made her sit on the couch beside him and took her in a hug. He murmured softly in her ear while rubbing her back,"Sshh! Amy, calm down. Everything's fine. Stop crying, its not your fault. Sshh!" Minutes later when she had calmed down, Archie pulled away from the hug and smiled down at her.

Amy's eyes were swallowen and the tip of her nose was red. He cupped her face in his hands and put his forehead against hers. He chuckled softly and said,"Stupid! You are so stupid! You really- I mean, oh my goodness. You are so damn cute Amy. I can't believe you."

Amy blushed and said,"Shut up Archie" and she hit his arm playfully. He said,"Alright! Alright! If you were concerned about that then you should have talked to me Amy." She sighed and her breath ghosted on Archie's skin. He shivered lightly. He continued when Amy gave no sign of answering. "We can stay a secret if you'll like that. We won't let the press know anything until you are comfortable with it." He chuckled at some thought and said,"I would like a sneaky relationship. It will make things interesting." He smiled and Amy couldn't help but giggle.

She said,"You are such an ass. I thought you were sleeping though." Archie said with a huge grin plastered on his face,"I was just lying here, eyes closed and if I had given any sign of being awake then I wouldn't have been able to know what was going on that small head of yours. So, thank you very much, I'll take my chances." He winked and Amy giggled.

They stared at each other for a while, their heads touching and Archie's thumbs caressing her cheeks. Archie said,"Can you say that again?" Amy gave him a confusing look and asked,"What?" Archie smiled then said,"Think back!" She furrowed her brows and suddenly realization hit her and her eyes widened and she blushed saying,"I.... don't like you." Archie gave her a blank look and Amy giggled but continued,"I love you." Archie gave her a face splitting smile and said,"I love you too."

Their lips had just touched when the lights were switched on and Em came bursting into the room saying,"Finally!" Archie and Amy both jumped back in surprise, blushing profusely. Draco said,"You ruined the moment Em. Couldn't you have waited a bit more." Steph and Ed agreed with Dray. Em smiled innocently at them and said,"I couldn't, you know me." Then she turned to face the new couple and stared at them,"You two, listen carefully, no kissing or snogging and please don't act all cute couple too, in front of me." They both blushed more but Em continued,"You both dumbheads took so much time. If you wouldn't have gotten together in two more days then I would have put you both inside a room and would NOT have opened it until you both kissed."

Archie glared at Em saying,"But you just ruined our first kiss." Em looked non-chalant and said,"Told you! No kissing in front of me. We singles have some feelings too. Don't hurt our feelings you asshole." Archie snorted at that and Amy sat there speechless and blushing.

Steph said stepping up,"Archie, no matter if you are our best friend, if you hurt Amy then you'll have to deal with us." Archie smiled and put a hand around Amy's shoulder pulling her closer,"I'll never hurt her but I might hurt you guys,if you know....." and he winked at them and they all snickered as a reply. Amy said,"I- uh-... umm I thought, you guys were asleep?" Em smiled mischievously and said,"We were. Until we heard you crying. You weren't subtle about it." Amy blushed and said,"Oh!.. umm sorry."

Ignoring the protests from Archie, Em made him shift and sat between the two. She hugged Amy and said,"I'm so happy for you darlin'." Amy replied,"Why, thank you!" Em chuckled and let go. Then she hugged Archie saying,"I'm so happy for you too, you numpty. At least, now I won't have to deal with your whinnings." Archie smiled but nevertheless said jokingly,"Alright! Alright! Now get away from me. I have a girlfriend. You are sitting between us." They all laughed and Em got up yawning,"OK now, its 2 in the morning and I'm sleepy. Good night lovebirds and others." Amy said,"Wait up Em. I'm coming." Em said,"Take your time." She left for her room but not before winking in Amy's direction who blushed scarlet.

Ed, Steph and Draco congratulated them and retired to their rooms. Amy smiled and said kissing Archie on the cheek,"Good night Archie." He smiled and gave her a light peck on the lips and said,"Good night Amy." They parted ways, Amy to Em's room and Archie to his own with a very big smile on his face. Both of them smiling like fools in love.
