My Journey

Should We?

09/10/2017
Today it was just gonna be a day for Ethan and I. We managed to keep Grayson busy for today. I kind of feel bad, but he always break the vibe Ethan and I have going on. I was waiting in my apartment, scrolling through Twitter and YouTube. Pretty much all I see are comments about Ethan and I. They either love us or hate us. Oh well, what can you do about it.
@grayslane: the way @ethandolan and @albarenner look at each other 😍😍😍 s'cute #Elba
@dolannews: I thought I was the only one that was the tension between Alba and Ethan... Thank God
@espencerthestaple: there is something telling me it's bad but they're so stincking cute. I seriously can't... #Elba
@bobdolan: why? Why are they my actual parents?...

That last one was kind of cringy. Whilst I was scrolling though some more tweets I see a notification. This one was a text from Ethan.

Well, that was unexpected. Where can he take me? I don't get it. We have to wait.... Somewhere with a sentimental meaning.... For me or both of us? I don't get it. I'll find out when he gets here.

••••••••••••••••••••••

"Open the door, Alba!" He shouted from the other side of the door.
"You left ME on read. That's not nice." I shouted back.
"I know and I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I promise."
"You also promised you'd never surprise me again." There was a shirt pause.
"Alright, I'll leave then. You don't want me here." When I heard him walk away I instantly opened the door and, not really to my surprise, he faked walking away. He was still standing in front of the door, with the biggest smirk ever on his face.
"You dick!" I said as I tried to punch him but he wrapped his arms around me and gave me the sweetest kiss he's given me to date. I feel like I say that every time...
"Gotcha." He said when he pulled away.
"You did." I said before he let me loose and we started to walk to my couch. "Are you gonna tell me anything?"
"About what? You cut your hair?"
"No!" I said as I slapped his arm that was resting on the back of the couch. "Your plans. Why do we have to wait?"
"I'm not telling you. It's called a surprise for a reason, you know?"
"Yes, I do know. I just want to know if my outfit is appropriate."
"Isn't the phone case too much?"
"It's Halloween. It's never too much. I'm still restraining myself from the Halloweeny shirts, but I can tell you it won't be long till I whip them out."
"Oh great. I'll just have a pumpkin girlfriend then."
"One of my jumpers is a black pumpkin. You guessed it. Well done."
"I'm smarter than you think, you know?"
"Not smarter than me though."
"You are just so modest... Seriously."
"I know. You don't have to tell me."
"I kind of don't want to bring this up, but have to told Grayson...." I quickly knew what he was talking about.
"Yeah, when you left after we filmed the video."
"What did he say?"
"He said pretty much the same thing you did. That I should know she's be proud of me if she was still alive."
"And...."
"She would. Except for that little crisis I had when I almost left YouTube.... That was dramatic..."
"You almost left YouTube.... That doesn't sound like you.."
"I know, now that I look back at it I just don't get why I let it get in my head so much.... But the past is the past. And the present is that a lot of people have noticed that I act different when I'm with you that when I'm with Gray or Jack."
"I know. I just think we shouldn't confirm it yet. Maybe slowly come out, like dropping very light hints."
"How light?"
"Feather light. That they are very, very hard to notice."
"I agree. I'll take that."
"Good, cause I just think it would be kind of weird to open up and just be like 'oh, we're dating, all of you were right'. I don't know."
"Yeah."
"What were you doing before I started banging on the door?" He said sitting next to me and putting his arm around me.
"Having a nice day. Scrolling through all the Elba tweets and comments from my video."
"I was doing that. Your fans are hardcore."
"I know. That's what I meant on the video, if we could join fandoms it would be an atomic bomb."
"You're most likely right. Our fans are pretty crazy too."
"Just pretty crazy? Are you serious? I belonged, and still belong, to it and we are utterly devoted to you guys. You have no idea..."
"I do not. And I am sure I will never know a hundred percent."
"Oh you will not." I say slipping some giggles between every word.
"This is crazy. We both went from getting bullied and being left out to freaking rocking our own world."
"I know, we've both created this big ass family of over 4 million people. I seriously don't know how."
"You ruined the moment. You had to swear...."
"What? I have Spanish blood and I am able-"
"To say three swearwords in a sentence of four words. You've said that so many times."
"It's true though. And that's and art hard to master."
"Don't doubt it."
"When are you going back to New York?"
"In a few days, it's been rough traveling this much."
"We are used to it though."
"Bit I'll be traveling at least once a week now, and although I love the reason, I'm on TV for heavens sake, it does get very tiring and kind of annoying."
"But it what said, you're on freaking TV! On a show you used to watch as a kid." I said looking up at him. "I wish I could even say I was in one. Or even think about it."
"You'll get far, don't worry. You are one of the most hardworking YouTubers I've ever met."
"What?"
"You don't notice cause you love YouTube that much."
"It is my life after all. What keeps me alive." I paused and Ethan looked at his watch and patted my shoulder before standing up.
"It's the perfect time to go. Ready?" He said putting his hand out to help me get up.
"I don't know if I am." I said grabbing his hand, getting up and crashing into him. He leaned in a bit for a kiss, but I rejected him and snuck to the door. He was left standing there, looking at me with a smirk. He then walked up to the door I was holding open and left the apartment.
