Leila's pov

So. I woke up. But not the way I would die for.

Usually, you wake up with the sun shining because you stayed up all night, and slept all day, but no. I woke up to Ethan spraying water guns at me.

Not the perfect way to wake up.

"You're cleaning these sheets!" I yelled, shivering from the sudden cold. He sprayed me with freezing water! "If you say so." He smiled cheekily. I rolled my eyes, and walked to the bathroom. I stripped my clothing, and made me a nice, almost hot bath. It was the best. Now all that's missing is a bath bomb. Or bubbles. I like both.

Leila is definitely not a morning person. Well, sometimes. I stripped her sheets from her bed, and went downstairs to put them in the washer.

"And, done." I said to myself when the doorbell rang. I didn't know we had a doorbell. But I do now.

"Hey babe! How's it going?" When did I give Gabby my address? Before I could answer she gasped while looking around. "You bought this huge house all for us?" She smiled at me with happiness. "Well actually-" I was interrupted again when she jumped into my arms. "You are the best boyfriend ever!" She squeezed the living life out of me. I don't like it. "You're not moving in here." I stated flatly. She froze, and quickly let go of me. She stared at me as if I was crazy. "What do you mean I'm not moving in? You promised me that we would live together!" Tears came to her eyes. They looked forced. "I know. And, I kinda broke it." A single tear fell. "Because not only are you moving in, but so is Leila." Right when I said her name, her face changed to disgust. "And why is she here?" She folded her arms, glaring at me. "Because she lives here." I stated in a 'duh' tone. She scoffed. "Yea I think you've made that very clear, Ethan. I'm talking about why is she living here? It supposed to be just us."

"Well, she didn't have anywhere to go." "So you decided to move Leila in here, without me knowing?"

"It is my house. I don't think it's your choice." She looked taken aback, but quickly hid it. "Whatever. I'm going to Stephanie's house. Call me if you need anything." She came up to me, and gave me a kiss. "I love you." She said. I smile, and nodded. And with that, she left. 

I don't really say the l word to her. Every once in awhile when we have fun or I feel like saying it. She doesn't seem to care either.

"Hey who was at the door?" I looked behind me to see Leila drying her hair with a, t-shirt? "Why are you drying your hair with a t-shirt?" I chuckled. "It doesn't make my hair frizzy." She smiled. "So who was at the door?" I looked at the door, and shook my head. "Nobody." She nodded, and went to the kitchen. A few seconds after, she walked back out. "There's no food." She looked lost. I laughed at how she was so serious. "Well we did just move in here." I smiled. She walked up to me, and stopped when there was about one foot of space between us. "There is no food." She took one baby step. "No food, no me." One more baby step,"no me, no happiness." She kept her serious face. I couldn't hold it any longer. I had to laugh.

"Let's go." I grabbed my keys, and opened the door. "Where are we going?" She slipped on her shoes that were by the door, and walked out, not forgetting to lock the door. "Ihop." Her face instantly lit up, and ran to the car. I chuckled at her inner child. What? Everyone's a child at heart. Some people just show it in different ways.

"Hurry up, old man!" Leila whined. I still haven't unlocked the car and she's trying to open it.

"Ethan, stop it."

"Stop what?"

"You know what."

"Sorry, I can't stop my sexiness."

"Ugh, Ethan."

"Ugh, Leila."

She stared at me annoyed. I smiled, and threw another paper ball at her that came from the straw wrapper. I've done it like 5 times.

"If you don't stop throwing paper at me I'm going to spill syrup on you." She seemed very serious. I took it very hilarious. "It's not paper. It's paper balls. And I'm not throwing them. In tossing them." She glared at me, and took a drink of her water. Before I could react, she spit it all on me. Good thing our food wasn't here yet. "Ethan! You put paper in my drink!? I almost swallowed that!" She yelled, getting people's attention. I was by far dying of laughter. Her eyes were bulging out of her face, her eyebrows were on her forehead. She looked scared, yet angry. Hilarious, right?

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to swallow it." I tried to keep a serious face, but I couldn't help the smile that crept onto my face. "Whatever." She scoffed, and folded her arms. She glared at me almost the entire time before we got our food.

"Alright. Now what?" Leila smiled. We just got done eating. "Now, we go and unpack our house." Her smile instantly fell, and whined. "Do we have to do that now?" She asked, dragging the ow part. "Yes. It's either now or never." I smiled. Now that I think of it, I've been smiling a lot more thanks to Leila. "You know I don't see anything bad about never." She suggested. I chuckled, and got in the car. "We are going to go unpack, wether you like it or not."

"No it should go over here!" I stated, pointing to where the couch should go. We've been unpacking for hours and we aren't even close to being done. "If it goes there then there won't be anywhere to put the chair!" We've been arguing for about five minutes about the furniture. "I told you it could go towards the window!" I don't see the problem with the chair being by the window. "No we are going to put the couch there. The chair can go towards the stairs." I groaned.

"Fine." I moved the couch with Ethan, and he put the chair where he wanted it afterwards. "There. Now the next room."

"No no no. Don't you go anywhere. We still have to put decorations in here." He groaned, throwing his head back. Well, not literally. That would be very painful and gross.

"Baby all I want is you. In the middle of the night I've been thinking bout you like, baby all I want is you." I sang along with the lyrics to all I want by Daniel Skye. You know Cameron Dallas is also in that song? It's one of my favorite songs. But I do like a lot of songs.  I'll probably say 'this is my favorite song!' Like a thousand times. I can't just choose one and leave all those other songs out. That's like picking one candy out of a thousand.

Right now we are going back to the house. After hours of arguing, we finally finished unpacking. Besides the game room and a guest bedroom but we aren't in a hurry to get that done.

We just went grocery shopping. We have the entire car filled. Im almost squished from the bags. Well my legs are.

Leila's singing is horrible.

But that's okay, because she's having fun. I'm not going to ruin her happiness just because she doesn't have the best voice. You don't just ruin someone's mood by telling them off.

So, that's how are day was. Lots of arguing, eating, and listening to music. It was really fun.
