Antonia's POV
"I'm so tired. I just want to sleep for two days straight" Gianna rubs her eyes.
"Maybe if you went to bed early like I do, you wouldn't be so tired" I point my finger at her.
"I was up watching love movies because I need some romance in my life" she complains.
We walk through the hallway together to get to class.
"You're lucky you have someone even if it's not official" she complains some more.
"Oh calm down. Love will find its way to you soon. Maybe you'll meet him at college next year" I try to keep her spirits up.
We sit down at our desks and take out our material for class.

After school I head over to the Dolan household to help Ethan pack his belongings.
"You really haven't packed anything" I say while glancing around his room.
"Nope. I've been so busy with work" he says while preparing boxes.
I start with his clothes and shoes. I make sure to pack his suits neatly so they won't get wrinkles. I come across his desk and see a yearbook. I sit down on a chair and flip through the pages. I find Ethan and Grayson right next to each other in their senior portraits.
"Don't I look good" he says from behind me.
"Mhmm, I guess so" I smile sheepishly up at him.
I look on the hard covers and read through the messages that people left him. His covers are literally filled that there is no more white space.
He must have been well liked in high school.
"Lets get moving" he says while lightly taking the yearbook from my hands and placing it in a box.

"I'm tired. I need a break" I say while taping the last box in his room.
"Come lay down on my bed with me for a bit before we need to transport all these boxes into the U-Haul" he pats the spot next to him.
I lay down next to him facing the ceiling. A foot length of space is between us.
"Come here" he says while wrapping his arms around me.
He pulls me closer to him, and I snuggle up to his chest.
"You smell good" I tell him.
"Yeah, that won't last. I'll smell when we start moving these boxes" he chuckles.
We lay in each other's embrace for a while.
"You know. I haven't been this happy since Cameron's passing" he whispers.
"What makes you happy?" I question him.
"You silly! You make me happy" he chuckles.
"You make me happy too" I smile up at him.
"I never thought I would ever have one ounce of happiness in my life when she left this world, but you proved me wrong. You're special to me. I trust you, and I enjoy spending time with you" he strokes the side of my face.

We unload the twin's belongings into their new place. We manage to unpack everything much faster than it took us to pack their things.
"Thank you for helping" Ethan says while drinking some water.
He moves closer to me in an attempt to give me a hug.
"I don't think so. You smell mister" I hold my hand out to stop his movement.
"Awe, come on. Give me some sugar" he says while proceeding towards me.
I squeal and run to the next room.
"Don't be like that" he smiles once he enters the doorway.
He moves in closer to me like I am his prey. He attacks me with a big hug. I look up at him still in his embrace. He looks down at me and keeps glancing from my eyes to my lips.
Oh gosh. I'm about to have my first kiss.
He leans in and places his lips on mine. I deepen the kiss and then pull away quickly.
"You still smell" I tease him.
"I'll go shower" he tells me.
"I should get going. It's late" I say while checking the time.
"I'll walk you out" he grabs my hand and leads us to the front door.
"The twins wanted to know if you would come with me to take them trick-or-treating this week at five" I ask him before leaving.
"I'd love to. I should be off work by then" he smiles happily.
"You're always working" I shake my head lightly.
"I love my job" he chuckles.
"Goodnight. I'll see you then" I hug him.
"Drive safe. Text me when you get home" he lets go from the hug and watches me walk to my car.

Me: Just got home. Goodnight. I hope you showered 😛
Ethan: I'm glad you got home safely. I did shower. Now I smell good for you 😚
