i smiled as i looked over at elaina, who was putting a face mask that christina gave her on her face. well, trying to put it on her face. she kept getting it on her eyes or in her mouth. i chuckled as she got some in her mouth then automatically freaked out and spit it out into the sink.

"you shouldn't be laughing. this shit is nasty," she told me, drinking a little bit of water to get the taste out of her mouth.

"well, you keep messing up. that's what makes it so funny," i laughed, and she rolled her eyes at me.

"come here," she demanded, so i obliged and got up from the bed, walking into the bathroom, "sit on the counter in front of me." i was confused, but i didn't argue, so i sat on the counter in front of elaina

"why exactly am i doing this?" i asked her.

"because i want to do this," she rubbed some of the face mask on my face, causing me to yelp and scoot away.

"why the hell are you putting a fucking face mask on me?" i asked, attempting to wipe it off.

"stop wiping it off!" she demanded, so i stopped, "you're making fun of me for wearing it, so you get to wear it too."

i huffed, knowing i wouldn't be able to resist her. i scooted back in front of her and she wiped some of the face mask on me, making me scrunch my face up in disgust.

"you are going to have beautifully clear skin after this," she snickered, continuing to apply the cream onto my face.

"it's so fucking cold," i whined, swatting her hand away.

"deal with it, daniel. don't touch my hand again," she warned, so i let her continue to rub the cream on me.

eventually, she finished, and she laughed when she looked at me.

"can i take this off now?" i asked, looking at the grey mask on my face.

"no! you have to wait fifteen minutes until it's dry, then you can wipe it off," she told me in a stern voice, "i will be right back. don't move. i need to do something."

i was confused when she left the room, but i did as she told me and stayed right where i was in the bathroom. i pulled out my phone and took a picture of myself with the face mask on snapchat, putting the caption, 'why did i let her do this?' then putting it on my story.

a couple of minutes later, elaina came back upstairs and was on facetime with corbyn and christina, as they were in long island for christmas with christina's family.

"oh my goodness daniel, you look so god damn sexy," corbyn laughed, and i just gave him a 'shut the fuck up' look and flicked him off.

"elaina, that was an expensive face mask! why'd you waste some of it on him?" christina whined, and elaina shrugged.

"it was so worth it," elaina giggled, taking another look at my grumpy face.

"has it been fifteen minutes yet? because this mother fucker is making my face itch and i hate it," i groaned, trying my best to resist the urge to scratch my face.

"daniel, be patient! there's only five more minutes left," she scolded, and i crosses my arms and laid back on the counter.

"daniel, bro, i just can't get over how amazing you look," corbyn exclaimed, still laughing almost as hard as he could. i swear he's not even breathing.

"shut the fuck up, corbyn," i warned, giving the camera a dirty look while elaina was just sitting there giggling the whole time. even being in a state of complete embarrassment and shame, i couldn't help but smile at her beautiful smile and the sweet sound of her laugh.

"okay, you can take it off now," she told me, as she started removing the one that was in her face and saying goodbye to corbyn and christina.

i immediately shot up and grabbed a washcloth, putting water on it then wiping it all around my face, making sure to get as much as i could off.

she turned to me, and i started to laugh just looking at her face. there were a bunch of little spots where she missed when she was siping it off of herself. there was a bit still on her nose, forehead, and chin. she had the same reaction looking at me. i bet i missed a bunch, too.

"babe, you missed some," i commented, laughing.

"so did you," she replied, laughing as well.

"how about i help you," i suggested, taking the washcloth out of her hand and wiping off some of the bits on her face that she missed.

once i was finished, she smiled at me and did the same to me. as she was wiping some off of my cheek, i pushed her hand away for a moment and gave her a kiss. she seemed taken aback at first since it was quite random, but she kissed back and smiled.

"what was that for?" she giggled, wrapping her arms around me and smiling.

"because i felt like giving my beautiful, precious girlfriend a kiss," i told her, kissing her forehead.

"thank you for that, but these little spots of grey face mask on your face are annoying the shit out of me and my ocd is taking the best of me, so stay still and let me take it off of you," she informed me, so i stayed still and i smiled at her as she stuck her tongue out in concentration, trying to wipe the cream off of my face.

"why are you smiling?" she questioned, wiping off the last bit of it off and putting the washcloth back on the counter.

"because you're so cute when you're focusing and the tip of your tongue just pokes out of your mouth," i chuckled, pecking her lips.

"my boyfriend is much cuter than me," she told me, pecking my nose.

"oh yeah, and who's he?" i questioned jokingly, a smirk on my face.

"well, his name is daniel and he's so incredibly sweet. there's no other person in the world that understands me better than he does, and i feel like i never have to hold back when i'm talking to him. i enjoy his company more than anyone else in the world. he is such a gentleman around me, so much of a gentleman that he'll pick me up and just carry me around the house when i'm tired or don't feel like walking, even though i'm fat and pregnant so i weigh more than i normally do. he always knows how to make me smile, even when i'm sad or upset. he has such an amazing sense of humor, that he knows how to make me laugh but he won't take things too far," she paused and smiled, pecking my lips before continuing, "he has this gorgeous brown hair that's super soft and that i like to just play with and run my fingers through all the time when i feel like it. he also has this adorable tooth gap that made me fall for him even harder when i met him almost five years ago. and his eyes, don't even get me started. they're such a beautiful blue and i could just look at them forever without getting bored. so yeah, he's amazing and i think he's the greatest boyfriend and dad that anyone could ever used to." i felt a happy tear roll down my face at her words, but i wiped it away quickly. "daniel, baby, don't cry. i love you."

"ugh, fuck my stupid tear glands," i laughed, placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

"that's another reason why i love you. you're such a sentimental and emotional guy. you don't keep in your emotions like other guys. you like to let me know how you feel," she smiled, putting her arms around my neck and pulling me down into a kiss.

these are the moments that i love with elaina. the moments where we just tell each other how we feel or how much we love each other, then we end up hugging or cuddling or kissing.

"i love you, babygirl. i'll always love you more than anything in the whole wide world," i smiled, pulling my lips away and putting my forehead on hers.

"i love you too, daniel," she replied, pecking my lips once more time before laying her head on my chest and contently sighing.
