I LOVE YOU

GWEN

I wake up in Peter's arms around 8:00. I sigh and close my eyes, favoring the moment. I could get used to this. Suddenly, I jump out of bed and dance around because I just realized. ITS VALENTINES DAY!!! And Peter has a surprise for me! Hmmm. Peter must have sensed my movement because he opens his eyes sleepily and looks at me. "Mornin." He says. "Good morning!! ITS VALENTINES DAY!" "Yes, I know." He says and groans, sitting up in the bed. "Well, what now?" "You better get back to your room before my mom finds out." I tell him. "Oh my god, I totally forgot!" He says jumping out of the bed frantically. He runs to the window but I block his path. "Nuh uh. Not without a kiss buddy." "Geez Gwen. Eager now are we?" He teases. I roll my eyes and he suddenly kisses me, slow but passionate. "Can I go now before your mom about kills me?" "Yes." I move and he quickly opens the window. He slides through and looks back at me and winks. Then he swings around the edge of the building and out of sight. "Oh Peter...." I whisper to myself as I get dressed for the day. I go downstairs and greet my mom who's sitting on the couch with some coffee. "Happy Valentines Day mom!" I say in a very excited tone. "Happy Valentines Day to you too dear! Are you and Peter doing something today?" "Um, I think so he told me it was a surprise." "Oh! Have fun, that boy has such good intentions, we are so lucky to have him in our lives." "I know mom. I love him a lot." "Me too dear. But not like that. Don't worry." She says and we both start to laugh. I hear footsteps on the stairs and I turn to see Peter coming from upstairs. He has a nice pair of jeans on with a tight navy blue tee that shows of his muscular chest and arms. He's wearing his favorite brown vans and his hair is messy, but in a somehow perfect way. I turn to the kitchen and go get myself some coffee. As I reach for a cup in the cupboard I feel arms wrap around my middle. I sigh and stand on my tiptoes, trying to reach the cup. "Gwen. Let me get that for you." Peter says softly right next to my ear. "I'm no damsel in distress. So, Prince Charming why don't you go and entertain my mom." He chuckles and replies with "No, how about you let me do that because it's Valentines Day and I'm trying to be a good boyfriend and help you." "Finnneeee." I say, reluctant. He then surprises me by picking me up bridal style and walks me over to the living room. When we get there he sets me down in the love seat and walks back to the kitchen. My mom looks at me and tries not to laugh. "Hey, whatcha lookin at!" I ask her. "Nothing. Just and extremely cute couple and a flustered looking girl whos blushing like mad." "Mom!!!" "What! You are!" I'm about to object, but that's when I realize she's right. I am blushing. I take a few minutes to calm myself down when Peter returns with my coffee. He hands it to me with a little smile on his face before he turns and walks to the couch and sits next to my mother. "So, you and Gwen have plans for today?" My mom asks Peter. "Yes. But it's a surprise for Gwen." "Oh? That's cool I'm sure she'll love it." "I hope so." He leans in towards my mom and whispers something in her ear. "Oh Peter! That's darling!" "Shhhh." "Oh right. Sorry." Wait. He just told her the surprise. Now I'm the only one in the dark. As this realization hits, I get frantic. "Peter!!! I can't take this any longer!!!!" I yell at him. He just smiles and says, "Do you want to go? Or do you need to cool down first?" He jokes. "No, let's go. I can't stand it any longer!" "Okay. Let me get my jacket. He turns to go back upstairs and I follow to get my own jacket. He grabs the railing of the stairs and launches himself to the top in one effortless bound. I take the twenty stairs each and find Peter waiting at the top with my jacket in his hand. "Thanks." "No problem. Let's go." We make our way out the door and head to wherever it is we are going. Peter in his black leather jacket, me in my grey cotton peacoat.
AUTHOR NOTE👉 Gwen's mom Helen knows Peter is Spiderman. She knows in a previous story I wrote called STARSTRUCK. Thank you.
