I love Aiden.

I don't know where exactly this week I had completely fell but it didn't take long. He makes me feel butterflies in my stomach. He makes me feel happy and excited every time I see him.

When I first met him, I wasn't looking to be with someone. I was fine by myself.

For some reason though somewhere in between our talks, our hugs, our kisses, our laughs, our calls, I fell in love with him.

The urge I have every day to see him and just talk to him over the phone. I have gotten so used to Aiden that I don't want to remember what it was like to live life without him.

He has treated me better than I would imagine. My heart pounds against my ribs every time I hear his voice. I don't want this to end.

I smile looking at Aiden's present. I really do hope he likes it. I decided I would give him some rings. They all have a significant meaning to them.

The first ring is a simple silver band but on the inside of it is carved the date of our first date. The second ring is black with emerald stones on it. I remember he once said that his favorite color was green so I thought this would make sense. The last ring is just a snake ring. I didn't know what else to get him, but I thought the silver snake would look good on his finger.

I also got him a fuzzy blanket because he always steals mine at night. Also, for some reason, his feet are always cold when we're in bed so that's another reason.

I hide everything, planning to give it to him on Christmas morning. I still haven't bought Mia anything because I need to find something perfect for her. I'm not the best at buying presents but I'm trying. It's the least I can do for them. I smile getting up, placing the box back in its place.

Everything was perfect.

I walk to my desk looking at myself in the mirror. I can feel my happiness radiating from me. The curtains of the room are pulled open making the room bright.

My mood hasn't been this good in a while now. I beam at my reflection noticing my small dimple in the mirror. I can feel myself bouncing on my chair from excitement.

Aiden texted me saying he was coming over. He didn't say anything else; it was pretty vague overall. He hasn't been over in a total of three days.

It's not the longest I've gone without seeing him but usually, he calls or messages me. Not this time. He's been pretty distant but it's alright because he's coming over today. What he didn't say was when he was coming over. It's already noon, I'm guessing he's coming soon.

I feel like painting.

I nod at myself with a newfound determination as I go over to where I keep my arts and crafts stuff. I get bored pretty easily, so this rolling storage cart is useful.

I don't feel like carrying things, so I just drag the thing across my room to my desk. I sit down, opening the plastic drawers, and pick out some colors. I align them on my desk and bend down to get a canvas from the bottom. I grab my phone and open Pinterest.

As I've said before I'm not creative or artistic, so I just pick something easy and look simple to paint. A bright picture of lemons with a light blue background catches my eye. Looks simple enough.

I pick out the different yellows and a light blue color. I grab a bunch full of paintbrushes, dropping them on the desk before grabbing the empty jar. I walk to the bathroom and fill it up with clean water.

Lastly, I grab a rag from the drawer to clean the brushes, and a pencil. I decide to listen to music while painting. Playing the playlist, I look at the reference picture then look down at the blank canvas.
