"That was so good." You said as you put your empty plate on the table in front of the sofa. "Thank you for such an amazing meal."

"It's my pleasure, darling."

As the sweet name fell from Isabelle's lips and you watched them pull up into a smile after, you felt that rush of butterflies filling your chest.

You're used to feeling them because your girlfriend always makes them appear with every touch, every smile, and every word on her lips.

But it's been so long since you last felt them and you can't ever get enough of how happy she makes you and how much better life has been since you met.

It's been almost two months since you first met but it was just recently that she asked you to be her girlfriend and, of course, you said yes.

You've been on a few dates but tonight is the first one you've spent at her place and she made it so special by cooking up a delicious meal for you to share and with the night still being young, you've still got some time to spend together before you have to return home so you can get some sleep for your busy day tomorrow.

"What kind of movies do you like?" She asked.

You shrugged your shoulders and looked at her, finding her gaze already resting on you.

"Anything, basically. I'm not too particular." You said and she grabbed the remote, turning the tv on.

"Comedy?"

"Yeah, I'd like that." You said and she started scrolling through all of the options before selecting one that you both wanted to see.

She put the remote down and as she stared at the tv while the intro began, you found yourself staring at her.

"Hey, cutie, I can feel you staring."

You held back a giggle as you looked down at your lap, only to see her hand falling onto your thigh as she laughed.

"You're so sweet." She said before she leaned over and kissed your cheek.

You scooted a little closer to her, biting your lip as you stared at her as if you wanted to be even closer to her yet didn't know if she wanted the same.

"Are you okay?" She asked as she played with your hair.

You nodded and she looked at you for a second before patting the space between you.

"Do you want to cuddle?"

She watched as your eyes lit up at her question and the sight made her heart flutter.

"I don't know if you want to and it's alright if you don't but... if you do, I'd be more than okay with it."

"Do you want to?"

She didn't say another word.

Instead, she put her arm around you and pulled you close.

"You can lay your head on my shoulder if you want to. It's okay." She said and gazed into your eyes as you curled up even closer to her by putting your head on her shoulder.

She brushed her fingers across your back and stared at you with bright eyes and as you stared at the tv to try and focus on the film, you couldn't help but grin and she did the same at the sight.

"I know it hasn't been too long since we started dating, right? About a week and a half ago?"

"Yeah." You said.

"Would it be weird if I said that I'm already head over heels for you?" She asked. "Because I like you, Y/N. A lot. More than I've liked anyone in a long while."

"No. It's not weird. I like it. Because I like you a lot too."

She stroked your cheek softly before kissing your forehead lingeringly, hoping that the next few hours go by slowly, wanting to relish in every second together.
