Seventeen

I groan as I sit up, letting my head hit the back board. Why did I wake up so early? I sigh as I turn to face Aurora and lay back down. She's so beautiful. I reach my hand up and brush her stray wavy locks out of her face. She smiles and pulls me into her. I squeak as she buries her face in my hair.

"You weren't even sleep?!"

"So you woke up to admire my beauty I see."

"Don't flip this around on me!"

"It's okay I don't mind but I do have one request though love." She says slightly smiling at me.

"L-love?"

"Well you said one nickname gets boring. Decided to switch it up. Now about the request." She answers, releasing me so I can look at her face. I sigh and flick her forehead.

"Fine. What do you want?"

"Head scratches please?"

"Head scratches? That's it?"

"Well since you love my hair so much I figured that wouldn't be a problem."

I huff and sit up, leaning against the headboard. I motion for her to come lay her head in my lap. She does so with a smug smile on her face.

"You're so annoying. How did I fall in love with you?"

"Um because I'm annoying cute, funny, amazing, charming, and smart. That's why."

"Unfortunately you're right."

"You know my girlfriend is so much more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen. It's truly a miracle that we even fell in love with each other."

"But I'm y- oh my god!"

She smiles and I push her head out of my lap. I get up and rush into a bathroom. I let out a very annoying loud squeal. Okay maybe I'm overreacting but I couldn't care less.

"Wow. Didn't know you could get so girly over a compliment. I'm so awesome."

I giggle and open the bathroom door. She smiles at me and I blush. I hand Aurora her designated toothbrush as I grab mine from the toothbrush holder. That's right we have our own toothbrushes at each other's house. Beat that Veronica.

"Do you think Veronica is ever going to stop picking on me and hitting on you?" I ask after I spit out my mouthwash. She looks at me then spits out her mouthwash.

"Honestly, I don't know." I sigh and lean against the counter.

"But I do know that she'll be the one to regret everything when we send her our wedding invite out of spite."

"Our wedding invite?"

"Don't back out on me now Ari." She says cupping my face. She has a sly smile on her face and I shyly smile back.

"Never Aura." She pecks my lips and then my forehead. I let out a sigh of consent and giggle.

"Okay time to get serious. Step one I will make us breakfast and you will make us some food to eat at the beach, step two after we eat we watch something of your choosing, step three after about two hours when it starts to get hotter we will get dressed and head to the beach, and lastly, step four you are in charge of the aux cord."

"Did you really put who's in charge of the aux cord as a step?"

"It's very important!"

"Whatever you say babe. Let's go I'm hungry." She laughs and follows me out the door.

"By the way Ari you look perfect."

"I'm only saying this because you deserve an ego boost every once in a while, but I was admiring your beauty this morning. So basically you caught me."
