Ethan's POV
I reached our apartment. I was outside our door. My heart was pounding so much and I couldn't stop smiling. I took my keys out and unlocked the door with a huge ass smile on my face, but I didn't see Belle. Instead I saw a note on the table. I closed and locked the door and walked over to it.

E,
Come into your room
And bring the chocolate ;)
-Belle

I took a deep breath, held onto the chocolate a little tighter and jogged over to my room. I opened the door and saw Belle with her hands behind her back. We had the biggest smiles on our faces. I ran to her, hugging her and picking her up. She squealed a little bit. We chuckled and I put her down. I cupped her cheeks with my hands and stared into her beautiful green eyes. She stared back into my blue ones.

I leaned in for the kiss and our lips met in a beautiful collision. We separated after a long awaited kiss. We hugged again. I rested my head in the crook of her neck. She held onto me just a little tighter. I smiled against her neck. I felt her tug a little so I let go. "Ummm... do you have the chocolate?" She smiled her goofy smile as I took out the chocolate, her favourite, Hershey's Cookies N' Creme. She smiled and took the chocolate and threw it on the bed.

"I have something for you." I furrowed my brows as she opened a small velvet box. It was a silver chain with a flat pendant. She handed it to me. The pendant had writing on it. It said;

E <3 B

I looked up at her with a huge smile. "Thank you..." I gave her a hug again. We pulled away and I put the chain on me. She put her hand over the locket I got her, I smiled at her. "I love you... so much." She was slightly taken back but smiled. "I love you too." I gave her a quick peck on the cheek. She picked up the chocolate off the bed, took my hand and led me to the living room.

Belle was looking through movies on Netflix when she chose the 2015 Spongebob movie. I looked at her with a confused, but amused, face and she burst in laughter. Soon enough I started laughing. I put my arm around her and she leaned into me. "That's one of the millions of reasons why I love you." She smiled as she looked up to me. I kissed her forehead and ate some chocolate.

"You know..." she led on as she fixed her position, "What you said to Mark about me was really sweet." I smiled down at her. I shrugged as I felt heat rise up in my cheeks. I held onto her a little tighter... I didn't want to lose her.

After finishing the movie, Belle put on the show. I felt like we were back in Maine. Sitting in front of the tv with a bowl of popcorn in front of us, laughing our asses off. And if we were too loud, Belle's grandma would scold us. I remember this was the first time Belle and I held hands. It was so out of the blue that I didn't know what was happening or how to feel. I guess I was that crazy for her.

I still am...
