"You are beautiful to me. And not because I am madly in love with you, but because you consume me in a way that no one else ever has..."

The snow fell gently, leaving the ground covered in the pretty white stuff.
Ella sat on Zayn's couch, wrapped up in a blanket, with her head on his shoulder.
It was Christmas morning, and the couple had decided to spend this Christmas by themselves.
Of course, they had gone to Ella's moms home for Christmas Eve, and spent time with her family.
But today, they just wanted some quiet time for themselves.
They had discussed getting each other gifts, but had decided that they had each other. And that was the greatest gift that they either could've asked for.
Although, they were looking at buying a house together, for after their wedding.
So they woke up late that morning, and Ella had made breakfast.
Zayn now found himself being Ella's pillow, as she laid against him, watching a certain Christmas movie that she had picked out on Netflix.
It was called 'Christmas In Conway', and frankly, Zayn found it to be quite the tear jerker.
It went a little something like this; a mans wife is dying of cancer, so they get a home care assistant to move in with them. Now, this certain man is just thoroughly unhappy with everyone, other than his wife.
And his wife's dying wish was to ride a Farris wheel with him, just to bring back all of the wonderful memories from their past.
So, he sets out to make her wish come true.
He builds a Farris wheel in their backyard, for his wife.
That's pretty much the jest of the movie, and honestly, you should go and watch it if you haven't already.
Zayn was never one for lovey movies, but in this case, he didn't so much.
He actually sort of enjoyed having his sweetheart laying next to him, letting tears fall down her pretty face.
She was such a beautiful girl, inside and out.
And you know how people say that everyone has their flaws? Well, to Zayn, that didn't apply to Ella.
For as far as he was concerned, she was absolutely flawless.
