Looking through the memories (egd fanfic)

Chapter 4;

"Hey I bet I can win a race to the pizza place", Ethan said whilst walking down the dark road, looking at me.
"Nahh I'm not really into running", I replied, looking mischievous.
"Okay, but if you ever feel up for it just"... Ethan started to say before I cut him off.
I started running as fast as I could, which is admittedly not very fast, but I was pushing myself to win this race. And it was working, I looked back and Eth was still about 5 paces behind me, and I looked back in front of me.

All of a sudden I felt a pair of muscular hands picking me up by my hips, I wrapped my arms and legs around him. "Let's call it a draw", he said, smiling.
"Sure, sure... Cheat", I replied sarcastically, smiling back.
Then we kissed again. Holding it a little shorter this time though, as we were still smiling at each other. When we pulled away, Ethan was still staring at me, he whispered "I am so lucky to know you".
"I love you", I said back.
And before he or I knew it, I hugged him with all my might, but not too hard I was squeezing him.
Just perfectly.
"How did this happen?" I asked.
"How did what happen?" He asked back.
"This, you know, us, kissing, loving," I said.
"I don't know, just fate I guess, but I couldn't be happier," Ethan said, as he put me back down.
He slipped and twisted our fingers together.
And we walked the rest of the way to the pizza place, both with huge smiles wiped across our faces.
When we walked in there was no queue.
"Thank god" I thought.
When I looked at the girl at the desk I thought she looked familiar.
Then a name popped up, Izzey.
My best friend in kindergarten. Then she left for Florida. When I was lonely Ethan came up to me and I guess that's why I love him so much today.
I wonder why Izzey came back here, Florida is amazing.
"Izzey??" I said.
"Do I know you?" She asked.
"Do you not remember me, you were my best friend in kindergarten... Until you moved anyway", I said.
"I don't remember you. I'm sorry", Izzey said, " i don't remember anything before the age of seven though, because of my 'incident' making me move back from Florida. My mom always told me to never forget a name though, Eva maybe, something like that.
"Ava?" Ethan asked.
"That's it, Ava, but she never told me why I had to remember it, all she said was that I was the best friend that I ever had",
"Well hi, I haven't seen you in a while, it's Ava", I said smiling.
"Oh my god, hi, my mom used to talk about us all the time you must have been great for me, I'm sorry I left", she replied, smiling.
"Haha it's okay without you leaving, I never would have met this hunk of a guy", I said sarcastically and smiling, punching Ethan in the arm.
We all laughed.
"Anyway, about the pizza", Izzey said.
"1 large Hawaiian pizza pls", Ethan said.
"You know me too well", I said with a sarcastic smile and nudging him. He smiled.
"Okay it will be five minutes", she replied, and walked off to tell the 'chefs' our order.
As she said it arrived five minutes later. Me and Izzey hugged and me and Eth walked out of the shop.
When we got outside Ethan stopped and turned to me and looked at me.
He put his hands on my hips, it made me feel safe.
"Ava Hayes, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked me smiling.
"Ethan, of course I will!" I replied grinning and jumping up into his arms.
We at each others eyes for about 5 seconds, and before we knew it, our lips collided.
His plump yet soft lips felt amazing against mine, I didn't really care about anyone seeing us, if I had a crowd I probably wouldn't even had of noticed. The kiss lasted about three maybe four minutes. Before I pulled away.
"Thank you, Eth, for everything, you changed my life and I don't know how to thank you", I said.
"Just be you, it makes me happy everyday even when I don't want to talk or be around anyone, you are always there, it's why I love you", he replied, "well and the fact that your beautiful", he said, smiling at me.
Then he put me back on the floor gently, and we started to walk back to my house.
