I'm Supposed To Hate You (Philip Hamilton x OC, Modern au)

The Best Day

Alexa play 'The Best Day' by Taylor Swift

Philip looked at her, which didn't go unnoticed by Ella. Ella laughed lightly at a realization. "Hey Pip," he hummed in response. "We broke my dads only rule"

Philip's eyes widened before he started laughing. "Yeah I guess we did"

"We better hope he doesn't find out or I'm dead," he added.

Ella nodded, laughing lightly.

Philip looked at her, rubbing the back of his neck. He didn't know how she would react fo this question but he felt like her needed to ask. "Hey Ella?" She looked at him and tilted her head lightly. "What are we?"

"People." Came Ella's voice.

Philip slouched and glared at her. "Really"

"I mean are we not?" Ella asked sarcastically.

"Stop avoiding the question"

Ella sighed. "I don't know"

"You don't know? Really?" Philip raised an eyebrow at her. He really didn't care if she didn't know, but this was Ella. She knows.

Ella inhaled sharply and held it for a second before exhaling deeply. "I-" she stopped and took another deep breath. Her hands were shaking and she could hear her heart. Looking at Philip and saying this was making her so nervous. Her voice shook as she spoke. "I wanna try this... but I'm not ready to tell everyone, especially my dad."

Philip's eyes widened, not expecting that answer. His hands flew up to his hair and he grinned. "Wait seriously?!" He jumped up off the couch and stared at her.

Ella couldn't help but laugh. She stood up and nodded, a smile coming to her face. Philip couldn't contain his happiness. He picked her up and spun her in a circle. Ella screeched lightly as Philip lifted her but smiled when she saw his face. He brought her into a hug, still spinning lightly. She wrapped her legs around his waist to make it easier for him to hold her. He stopped spinning and buried his head into her neck.

"Does that mean I can call you my girlfriend?" He asked hopefully.

"Yes," Ella answered faster than she intended to. "But maybe not in public. Or in front of our friends, siblings, or parents."

Philip laughed. He knew she was going to he hesitant with all of this, but currently this was going better than he had expected. "Yeah that's a good idea"

"Just... inside thoughts," she joked.

He chuckled and set her down. "You're stronger than I expected you to be," she commented.

"One, I'm offended. Two, I've picked you up before"

Ella rolled her eyes playfully. "Not like that."

Philip wanted to play along and scoff or roll his eyes or something, but he was just too damn happy and continued grinning instead.

"I don't think I've ever seen you this happy," she told him.

Philip just looked at her and sincerely replied, "I don't think I've ever been this happy"

Ella's heart melted. A soft, genuine smile came onto her face as she watched him like he was a puppy that has just gotten adopted. And to him, that's what it felt like.

"You're adorable," she laughed softly, still watching him like he was the only thing she ever cared about.

Philip grabbed both her hands and looked her in the eye. "I love you so much"

Ella's smile got bigger as she responded, "I love you too"

Those words. Those four words. Philip felt like he was going to explode. She'd never said that before. Hell, Philip doubted she'd ever even thought that before. This was by far the greatest day of his life.

Ella looked at the clock on the wall and saw at least Mary should be home soon. "You should probably get home before anyone comes home," she told her now boyfriend.

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea," He turned toward the door then turned back to Ella. He gave her a smile then kissed her cheek. "Shall I sneak into your room again tonight?" He teased.

Ella playfully glared at him while still smiling. "No. Go home and stay there, idiot"

Philip laughed and walked to the door. "Bye, love"

If she didn't have such dark skin, Ella's face would've turned bright red. Philip left before she could say anything back to him.

Philip walked outside and did a mini victory dance. "Yes!" He whispered, pumping his fists in the air excitedly.

Philip walked home, thinking about Ella the whole time. He opened the door and Angie was sitting on the couch watching a movie with James. "Where have you been?" She asked, turning her head to face him.

"Will's," he plainly lied. Angie raised an eyebrow in suspicion but didn't say anything.

"What's with that face?" Angie questioned, referring to his love sick face.

Philip sighed dreamily. "I had the best day today"

Sorry it's a shorter chapter, I didn't want to add more onto it but I'll try to make the next one longer. Also if I had a nickel for every time I made a main couple get together in chapter thirty/the thirtieth part... I'd have two nickels, but it's weird that it happened twice.
