dont mind some lowercasing. I'm on my phone.

-lily-

"you said we'd be there soon" I complain. if you can't tell, we are still driving, "it's been two hours."

"then go back to sleep," ethan mumbled something else but I couldn't hear it.

"what did you say?" he was about to reply but I cut him off, "actually nevermind. I don't care, can we take a break? park somewhere? I'm hella bored." Ethan grins.

"what are you thinking, Ethan?"

"swear." what? "swear. then we'll take a break."

I sigh, "Ethan, you fucking idiot. can we just go take a break?"

"okay there is a gas station five minutes away."

we continue to blabber those five minutes. the car ride filled with laughs. also eyerolls, from me. i didn't realise that we were holding hand the whole time until ethan let's go to get out of the car.

I try to open mine but ethan beats me to it. I give a confused look, "what? I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't open the door."

"well, you certainly aren't a gentleman with pizza and crisps" I mumble, getting out of the car. Ethan throws his head back and laughs. nodding in agreement.

I start walking to the building as Ethan catches up and grabs my hand pulling me back. he gives a chaste kiss on my lips and keeps walking whilst holding my hand. I blush, looking down.

he holds the door open for me then following me in, "what do you want to buy for the rest of the ride?" I look up wide eyes.

"how long is 'the rest of the ride'?"

"like one more hour."

I go to the fridge area and grab two bottles of water. I look up to ethan giving him a look asking if he wants anyother drinks. he shakes his head and heads to the chips. he grabs a bag of cheetos and I grab a small bag of takis.

"this all?" I nod my head and we head to the counter.

"how are you two?" the cashier asks.

"good. yourself?" Ethan replies smiling. he smiles so much. im not complaining though.

"6.85 is your total." I pull out my wallet from my hoodie but ethan stops me.

"I'm paying, love." he winks and hands the cash to the cashier. "keep the change." he grabs the bag pull of the items and we head off.

"y'all make a great couple." the cashier smiles. Steve, was his name.

I was about to interject but Ethan beat me to it. again. "thank you, sir. have a great evening."

"you do to."

we head back to the car and pass the stuff out.

"why didn't you say we weren't a couple?"

Ethan just shrugged, "don't wanna ruins the man's day. do we?"

I stay silent and Ethan smiles to himself. he starts the car and we're off. for the last hour of this ride.
