Don't Go Crankin' My Heart

Chapter 2.6

I turn my T.V. on and grab the remote, moving over to my bed and getting in. Ethan follows behind me and joins me in bed, sitting on top of the blankets next to me. "Whatcha wanna watch?" I turn to Ethan and ask. He shrugs and answers, "I don't mind, whatever you want to do." I sit for a second to think, pursing my lips. "Well, I needed to rewatch Twilight, I fell asleep during it earlier and I told myself I had to rewatch it again to make up for it." Ethan laughs, his blue eyes squint, "I've never seen Twilight, but I'd love to watch it with you, Mav." I laugh with him and warn him about how cheesy the movie is. I get the movie started and start getting comfortable, getting under the covers and leaning back into my pillows. Ethan does the same, he ever so slightly shifts himself closer to me, I look over at him and smile, and he smiles back warmly. The movie begins and we both chuckle at the ridiculous scenes. After a little while, I feel Ethan wrap his arm across my shoulder. How sweet of him. I decide to go for it, I push myself down the bed slightly and shift my body into his, placing my cheek and hand upon his chest, my leg wrapped over his. I feel his heart race and he pulls me closer, placing his other hand on top of mine. He was warm and comforting, his sweet delectable scent filled my nose, instantly relaxing me. We lay together, cuddling, for the majority of the movie. Laughing together and making comments over scenes and characters. He was loving the movie, which made me smile. 

The movie was nearing its end, and Ethan and I still cuddling together. It felt so good to be in his arms. He was warm and gentle, his heartbeat evenly. He was completely relaxed and so was I. I was so happy at this moment, I wanted it to last forever. I looked up at him, he was totally into the movie, his eyes wide and mouth parted slightly. Switching from smiles to gasps to cringe. After the scene end fight scene with James, Ethan looked down at me, noticing that I had been staring at him. "What's up Mavie?" He asks smoothly, a soft side smile appearing on his lips, I stare down at them before back up to his beautiful blue eyes. 

I blush at the nickname he called me, "Nothing..." I say shyly, "....You just have beautiful eyes Eefy." I continue with a blush. Ethan looks down and blushes too, a small smile on his lips. "You do too Mav, you have gorgeous eyes. I could look into them all day," Ethan replied softly. I shyly look away for a swift second before returning my gaze back to Ethan. He didn't break his eye contact with me, his eyes sparkled in the low light, in combination with his soft smile, my heart was melting inside. I hear the movie continue on, Bella is now going to prom with Edward. I try not to move my eyes from Ethan, who's still gazing over me. I see his eyes travel from mine, down to my nose, and to my lips. "Mav, I wanted to tell you something." Ethan starts. "I think you're the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world Mavis, and... I've always thought that...since the day I first met you." His eyes shine as he tells me this, and my lips curve into a warm smile. "And Mav?" he stops, His eyes break contact with mine for the first time. He becomes very nervous, I feel his heart beat faster through his shirt. He looks back at me, gazing into my green eyes before trailing down to my lips. "Flightless Bird" plays from the movie now. I take a deep breath and go for it. I lift my face towards him, looking into his deep eyes before brushing my lips against his. I kiss him softly, and he kisses me back. His lips are sweet and soft against mine. He places his hand on the back of my head and pulls me even closer, not breaking our initial kiss. It was like heaven was on Earth. The kiss was so soft, so warm, and so sweetly delicious. I pull away and continue to softly peck his lips, before kissing his nose and pulling back to look at him again. He's smiling so hard it's impossible not to smile back at him. He pulls me back to him and kisses my cheek. 

I giggle and hold his hand, pulling it to my lips and placing a kiss on the back of his hand. He looks at me with warm eyes, "I love you Mav," He says warmly. I smile and blush, "I love you too Eef," I say back. And it's true. I love Ethan. And he loves me. He was always the sweetest to me, he always showed me kindness, and he had become my best friend in meer weeks. I cared about Ethan so much, he meant the world to me.

Ethan looked at me, "Wanna count this as our first date?" He asks with a chuckle. I giggle back and agree. The credits were just about finished rolling so I turned off my T.V. and got up to blow out the candles around my apartment and plug in my fairy lights around my room. Ethan got up to join me, yawning as he stood up. I grabbed another makeup wipe from my vanity to take off the light makeup I was wearing before brushing my teeth. Ethan stood behind me, holding my waist and laying his head against my back while I did so. He was so cute. After finishing, I turned and held him, rubbing my hand in circles on his back. "Come on, let's go to bed, hon." I gently say to Ethan. He nods and sleepily follows me back to bed. We lay back down and twist ourselves together, arms around each other and noses touching. I kiss his nose and he kisses mine back. I giggle and kiss his soft lips. Kissing me back, he says, "Goodnight Mavie, I love you, baby." My heart melts and he drifts off to sleep quickly. I kiss him one last time on his forehead, between his brows, and say, "goodnight Ethan, I love you" before going to sleep as well.
