"Can I have your attention!?"

Ethan shouts for the second time. Everyone stops talking and look at him.

"Oh god..." he says.

"Ethan, what are you doing? Get off the table!" I say standing up.

"Lexie Walker. Will you be my girlfriend?" What. The. Actual. Fuck.

"Uh... What?" I don't know what to say...

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Ethan says getting off the table and taking my hands.

"Yes!" He takes me in his arms and spins. Everyone claps their hands and scream.

I'm getting really dizzy.

"Okay, Ethan." I laugh. "Put me down, please. I'm gonna throw up if you continue."

"Sorry, babe." He stops spinning and puts me down. He looks at me and I sit down.

Maddy, Kelly, and Taylor jump on me and hug me.

"Girls... I... I can't... breathe..." They let go of me.

"Sorry" they all say at the same time. I laugh. We continue eating. Ethan holds my hand under the table.

After school

"Wanna come to my house?" I ask Ethan.

"Sure!" He answers. We go into his car and he drives to my house. He puts his hand on my thigh. I put my hand on his and a smile appear on his face.

"You're cute when you smile. You should do it more often." I tell Ethan.

"Oh, so I don't smile enough for you, babe?"

"I didn't say that..."

"Yeah yeah" He chuckles. I roll my eyes playfully.

He parks in the driveway and we get out of the car. I take his hand.

"I'm gonna introduce you to my mother. She will love you." I tell him.

"I hope..."

"Don't worry!" I kiss his cheek. He takes a deep breath and we go into my house.

My mom works from home so she's always there when I come back from school. We take off our shoes and my mom is at the table working on her laptop. She turns around.

"Hey, Lex... Ohhhh" She sees Ethan and I holding hands.

"Hey, mom. This is Ethan. My boyfriend..." I said blushing. My mom smirks at me.

"Hi, Mrs. Walker" Ethan says. My mom smiles and she looks at me.

"You can call me Jane." She grins.

"We're gonna go upstairs." I say to Ethan. He nods and starts climbing the stairs.

"Oh my god! Is he the guy that you were telling me about? The one who brought you to that super fancy restaurant and you got your tattoo with?" My mother asks me so many questions.

"Yes, mom. That guy. "I chuckle. She hugs me. 

"My little girl is not my little girl anymore." She says putting her hand on her heart like it's hurting her.

"I'll always be your little girl, mom" She grins.

I go upstairs join Ethan. I go to my room and he's looking at the drawings on my wall. He's staring at one in particular.

"You like that one?" I ask. He keeps looking at it. I move next to him. It's a drawing of a broken heart with stitches.

"It means that a heart can be broken several times but it will still try to love."

"I never saw something so deep..." Ethan says still looking at it. "But... It's beautiful"

"Do you want it?" I ask looking at him. He looks at me.

"No! You did it. It's yours."

"I can make another one." I shrug.

I remove the drawing from the wall and I give it to Ethan. He put it in his bag and he takes me in his arms.

"I'm so happy we're finally together, babe." he whispers in my ear.

"You can't imagine how happy I am." I whisper back. He looks at me and smile. I put my lips on his and he kisses me softly.
