Y/n POV:
I throw on a too big gray sweater and jeans and grab my suitcase to head downstairs.
Finally this is happening
Me and Shawn, my boyfriend of 2 years, have been planning this road trip for forever for when we get out of college and it's just happening and I couldn't be more excited.
I grab a banana and open the front door to see Shawn smiling the biggest I've ever seen and it just improves my mood more.
"Are you ready?" The excitement in his voice making it higher than usual.
"You have no idea how long I've been ready," i go on my tiptoes and wrap my arms around his neck for a hug and we stand there holding each other for what seems like forever, I wish it could've been.
He breaks the hug as he says, "I'll grab your bag y/n,"
He Bends down, grabs my bag and starts running to the car.
This reminds me of when we were in highschool and when we first started hanging out. We were best friends and he always managed to embrace the happy, young child inside of him. He showed me his favorite sunset watching spot and ran exactly like he's doing now.
I laugh at the memory.
He opens the trunk, throws in my bag, runs to the passengers side of the car, opening the door for me.
"Ladies first," he laughs as i give him a skeptical look.
"Oh come on," he complains, "i can't be a gentleman just once?"
I quickly get in as i say with a laugh, "nope never."
He puts his hand on the top of the door ready to close it as he says, "now that's a shame isn't it?"
I close it before he can and he laughs and walks painfully slow to the drivers side grinning as he gets in and buckles.
He looks at the banana I'm holding on my knee and laughs.
"Y/n you do realize I packed a ton of food right?"
"Yeah I know," i say matter of factly, "i just didn't think you packed bananas."
He puts the key in the ignition and says, "ahhh you got me."
15 minutes into the road trip on our way to Washington i end our topic of how the old populars at our highschool turned out, into something a little bit more deep.
"Shawn?" I say, cutting off his breath taking laughter.
"Yeah y/n?"
I smile widely as I say, "can you believe we're actually doing this? I mean this is amazing i feel like I have been waiting for this my whole life."
He sighs of happiness and grins, "i can believe it because I promised you didn't I? 11th grade on the school bus? You said i was crazy for saying we could do such things. But I don't break promises."
I grab his hand and intertwine our fingers.
"I guess I was the crazy one. Never should of doubted you mendes." I check the time on my phone to see its 10 in the morning.
"But you know y/n? I get what you're saying, I have always wanted to do something like a road trip with someone I loved and I'm overjoyed that it's finally happening."
We both laugh and I interrupt our laughter by saying, "let's stop being cheesy okay?"
He laughs even harder doubling over and says, "i understand why people hated us so much. Geez you'd think we were on an episode of full house. All this is missing is a hug."
I laugh throwing my head back.
We spend the rest of the drive to Washington mentally planning what we want to do.
So this is what it feels like to live.
