33. NIGHTLY MAKE-UPS [E.T]

[You are Adriana]

"You can be quite annoying, you know, Ethan?" Adriana said, finally stopping walking to open the front door to her and Ethan's apartment.

Ethan frowned. "Yeah, because you only focus on the negatives of a person."

Adriana fiddled with the key before putting it in the lock and twisting it to open the door.

"As if you only focus on the positives!" Adriana scoffed.

"Yeah, well, at least I don't judge people based on their minuses rather than pluses." Ethan said, closing the front door behind him.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Adriana asked, turning to face Ethan.

"All you do is just find out the bad things about a person and then just completely ignore the positives." Ethan raised his voice louder.

"You've got to be fucking joking me. I do not do that." Adriana said laughing from disbelief.

"Oh, Yeah? Well, I've seen it with my own eyes." Ethan said. "I think I can tell."

"Ethan, I can't believe we're having this arguement right now!" Adriana exclaimed. "I thought we said no arguements before bed after the last one."

"Well, I don't really care about that stupid rule right now." Ethan said. "I've had enough of you just telling me that I'm annoying all the time and how much I annoy you. If I annoy you so much then why are you still here? Huh? You're free to leave and find someone who doesn't annoy you as much as I do! I'm not gonna stop you!"

They stood in silence for a few seconds, just staring at each other.

"I'm going to have a shower." Adriana said, quietly and started walking towards the bathroom.

"No wait, Adria." Ethan tried to grab her hand. "I didn't -"

"Don't call me Adria after what you just said, Ethan." Adriana said calmly. She was good at keeping calm.

"No, wait." Ethan said but Adriana already closed the door behind her.

Ethan went to also take a shower but in the second bathroom. When he finished he saw that Adriana was already laying in their bed with the lights off. She couldn't have gotten in long ago.

Ethan got into their bed on his side and Adriana turned to face away from Ethan. Usually, they would have a little conversation before falling asleep just about their day but today no words were said, just a tense air.

Neither of them could fall asleep for a long while. They missed each other's touch. They both hated fighting but sometimes it just happened.

Eventually Adriana just gave in and touched Ethan's hand that was laying on his side.

Ethan tensed but turned to face Adriana. He saw a small smile on her face and immediately relaxed, putting an arm around her waist.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said, I was just really angry, you know, things with the band have been a bit messy recently and all the anger I had stored just seemed to pour out on you and I said something I didn't mean to. I hope you know that I don't actually want you to leave." Ethan whispered. "I'm so, so sorry, Adria."

Adriana closed her eyes, gently placing her hand on Ethan's shoulder.

"That's fine. I'm sorry, too. You're not actually that annoying. Maybe just a little bit but I like it, keeps me on my feet." Adriana whispered back and Ethan laughed quietly.

"I love you, Adria." Ethan said, bringing his face closer to Adriana's so that he could feel her minty breath on his skin.

"I love you, too, Ethan." she whispered back.

They kissed, their lips melting into the other's. Adriana gently ran her nails down and up Ethan's bare back, earning a loud exhale from him.

"You're not that annoying either." Ethan said quietly and this time Adriana laughed.

"Oh, really?" she asked, playing with Ethan's dark hair.

"Yes, you're lovely." Ethan said, smiling as Adriana brushed the hair from his face and placed a gentle kissed on his cheek.

"So are you." she said. "Now, goodnight. We've both got an early morning tomorrow."

"Goodnight." Ethan said.

They both got comfortable, Ethan's arms around Adria's waist while she had her hands on his arms.

Both smiling because of how lucky each were to have the other in their life.

It was moments like these that made them both feel complete. Moments where they could share their love with each other.

These unforgettable moments.
