"You look gorgeous, go!" My mum looked me up and down with tears in her eyes and let go of my hand. I kissed her cheek then hurried down the hallway.

It was Wednesday, the 14th of February. Valentines day. 

My boyfriend, Ethan, had just knocked on my front door. I looked at the clock in the hallway as I was walking, the clicking matching the rhythm of my high heels on the wooden floor. The two black hands popping out against the white of the clock showed that it was 6:53pm, he was a little early. I quickly turned and glanced to look at my reflection in the hallway mirror, i'd been with Ethan for over 2 years, but I still wanted to look perfect. I lifted the peach skirt that flowed downward from the gold bodice, reaching my ankles. I twirled, showing my sides and saw a small portion of the bare back. I bought this dress recently and loved it, and prayed that Ethan would too. I held a small white handbag over my left shoulder, and touched my H/C hair with my right hand, fixing it. I wouldn't usually bring a handbag, but what was inside it wasn't small enough to fit in a purse. My bag matched my white heels and I turned back towards the front door, putting my right hand on the door knob. 

I had butterflies in my stomach every time Ethan took me on a date. I felt like a teenager going on a first date almost every time. I couldn't hold back a smile as I opened the door and saw Ethan standing there. My knees felt weak as I looked at his black suit. He looked hot.

"Hey gorgeous, you look amazing" Ethan looked me up and down and I posed playfully.

"You look hot" I said after kissing him.

"I do, don't I?" He smirked while pretending to flick his hair over his shoulders.

"Whatever" I shake my head and laugh as we both get in his car.

This would be the last time we saw each other for 4 months. We spent a lot of time together since we became friends at the start of high school, then we were inseparable by the time we were dating. We spent so much time together that my mum joked that we were secretly married.

My mum wanted to visit some of our family over in (random country) and i'd been counting down the days until my mum and I got on the plane, which was Friday. The quicker each hour slipped by, the less time I had with Ethan. 

*At your favourite restaurant*

Ethan pulled my chair out for me before sitting in his own, and he stared into my eyes. I looked into his hazel ones, and the way they shone as he looked at me made my eyes glue to his. The depth and layers behind his iris just took my breath away, as did many things about him. The darker colour around his pupil faded into a lighter green/blue, then faded back into darkness. I broke out of the trance, and smiled softly.

"What?" I looked up at him as I tilted my head down to look at the menu. 

"I just love you" He said like a little boy.

"I just love you too" I said sweetly.

We ate and talked, then Ethan told me he wanted to walk down the street to one of the best ice cream shops we'd ever been to. We walked around the streets, eating ice cream, laughing, talking and holding hands. As quickly as the date started, it ended, and it became time for Ethan to drop me home. We'd been stalling as much as we could but it was 10:30pm so we decided to finally walk back to his car.

I got in the car and audibly sighed at the same time as Ethan.

"It's ok baby" Ethan placed his hand in mine and squeezed it, he tried to reassure me but I could see the hurt in his eyes. He proceeded to turn the car on and pulled away from the restaurant.

We got to my house and Ethan slowly pulled up the driveway, and stopped in front of my garage door.

Ethan leaned across over the centre console and I stretched to meet him halfway. We kissed softly, as if it was our first kiss. We seperated and I remembered something. 

"I have a present for you" I told him as I reached into my handbag and took a frame out. It was a selfie of us in a light wooden frame and over the picture, I wrote our favourite quote.

Do something today

that your future self

will thank you for

He studies it for a while. "It's beautiful"

"You're beautiful" I chuckled as I felt a slight prick in the corners of my eyes.

"I'm meant to say that to you" he smiles with glassy eyes.

He put the frame down and we were kissing again, until my mum tapped on the glass. Ethan rolled the window down in embarrassment and my mum smiled at him.

"Don't be embarrassed Eth, I was just asking if you wanted to come in and stay the night? It's quarter to 10" My mum crossed her arms and smiled at Ethan, she saw him as part of the family and loved him like a son.

"Thank you M/N" Ethan looked at me expectantly. I nodded in assurance.

"I would love to" he continued.

I thought it was strange, but Ethan always kept a change of clothes in the boot of his car, so he grabbed them and followed me inside. Ethan got changed in my room as I sat on my bed, talking to him. He put his hoodie on then jumped on top of me, completely squishing me. 

"You're. crushing. me" I squeak.

"I know" He chuckles.

"Get. off. I-can't. breathe" I say trying to push him, but my arms are squished too.

"Fiiiine" he whines, but I tickle him.

I sat up and pushed him backwards on my bed, tickling him while he was lying on his back. He started crying because of how hard he was laughing, I absolutely loved his laugh. I stopped to put my hands either side of his head. 

He stared up at me, and I wiped a tear off his face.

"I mean, I know i'm hot and everything but you don't have to cry about it" I giggled.

"You are though" He grabbed my neck and pulled my head down, until my lips were milimetres from his. 

"Don't tease me" I whined.

He closed the gap between us and flipped me over so he was on top. 

I wrapped my legs around his slender waist and wrapped his hair in my fingers.

I woke up to having my limbs tangled with Ethan's. My face was close to his, and his hair was covering his face. I slowly pulled my arm from under Ethan's and sleepily ran my fingers through his brown hair. He smiled in his sleep.

"I love you, keep doing that" He said, but he was only half-awake.

"Ok" I whispered as I kissed his nose, and continued to play with his hair.
