"that's a good one." i whispered, laying on the floor next to ethan, writing a 'together lets' list. i wrote down his suggestion to paint something. it was the item. "together let's...fall in love." i faked an accent, making him laugh.

"do we have to start over or can we cross things off?" he asked. "i think we can cross off." i handed him a marker and we began to check off things we've done.

we crossed off: take a nap. taking a nap is all we've done together out of our entire bucket list.

"ethan, this is lame," i laughed, rolling to my back. "we're the worst couple ever." 

ethan got up and kicked my legs. "get up, we're going out," i smiled, watching him put his shoes on. "and bring the list!"

-

our first stop was the mall. we picked out black and pink versions of the same hoodie and black slip on vans. we walked around for a bit, too, hand in hand.

"what's next?" i asked, looking up at him. he was so perfect. "well," he looked down with a smile. "i think today we can knock out mini golf, a beach trip, and a kiss at midnight."

i giggled, nodding. "then, we can cross off 'get in trouble' by my parents for staying our past twelve," we high-fived with out free hands. "oh my god, we can stargaze on the beach!"

ethan checked the time, 3:48 pm. "we should probably get going, then." i nodded, giggling and walking out.

-

we had gone mini golfing ( i won ), and we just got to the beach. we brought a blanket but didn't think to bring bathing suits. he can swim in his shorts, but i didn't figure out what to do at first.

"you're birthday is soon," i smiled, watching him take his shirt off. it was 8:30. "what do you want?"

"to finish this bucket list," i laughed, catching the shirt he threw at me. it gets cold at night, but the water is warmer because the sun was on it all day. plus, the sun was just starting to set. he reached his hand out. "well? let's go."

i frowned. "ethan, i don't have a bathing suit," he rolled his eyes. "i'm lowkey embarrassed."

"evon, you and i are the only people here. it's just me." after a minute of consideration, i stood up and groaned. i pulled my shirt over my head and dropped my shorts. i crossed my arms after fixing the lace of my bra.

i raised my eyebrows, taking his hand. "well, c'mon."

"you said you were embarrassed," he said, honestly. "i was expecting, like, polka dots and rainbows; not full on black lace." ethan was still looking at me.

"what?" i smirked. "you don't like it?"

ethan laughed, shaking his head. "i- no, i didn't say that." "i know." we smiled and i kissed his cheek as we walked into the calm ocean.

"it's kinda cold." i whispered, looking at my feet. he shrugged letting go of my hand to dive under a wave coming in. i smiled, watching him act like a kid.

he reached his hand out, shaking out his hair. i grabbed it and he pulled me down with him. now, we were up to our shoulders. i wrapped my arms around his neck as he held me and we shared twining, giant smiles.

he kept his hands on my back as i moved hair out of his face. "i'm so much happier with you," i whispered, water dripping off our noses. he left a gentle kiss on my lips, then my nose. "also, this is my favorite bra."

ethan started laughing. "mine too." i hit his shoulder, lightly, getting put down. "what now? we have such a long time till midnight."

"what time is it?" "nine." i pursed my lips, looking up at him. dipping my hair under, i heard ethan laugh. "shut up."

he grabbed my waist. "ethan!" i yelled. "let's fucking play hopscotch!" he laughed, following me out of the water. i found a stick and traced a hopscotch table in the sand. he found a large shell and handed it to me.

i tossed it. "six."

-

after about an hour and a half of hopscotch, tic tac toe, rock paper scissor, and any other childhood game you can think of, we were bored again.

he took out his phone and started play 'my boo' by usher. i smiled, laying on our blanket and looking up at the moon. "started when we were younger you were my..." i sang, laughing.

"my boooo."

"boooo!" we laughed. he let out a baby yawn and snuggled into me. "we can cross that off our list."

i nudged him, making sure he was awake. "it's almost midnight, i think." my phone beeped and it was a text from my mom. i opened it to see her sending me a picture of her making a blank face.

laughing, i sent back the same photo getting a 'hi honey! are you safe?' in return. i texted her for a while and noticed it was 11:59. "get up." i smiled, pushing him awake.

ethan rolled over onto my lap and looked up at me. "two in one," he smirked. "a kiss at midnight and take a kissing photo."

"c'mere and give me some suga." he laughed, rolling his eyes. "oh god." he whispered while i leaned down, smiling. i pulled away, shortly.

i ran my fingers through his hair. "well, we knocked 7 things off today." "how eventful..." he whispered. "and i'll be the one driving home." i smiled.
