precious ↠ e.d

twenty two - i love you

"you better not be taking me into the woods so you can kill me and hide my corpse." ethan sighs, resting his head against the car seat with the black blindfold tied around his eyes.

"ya know, it's not that. but now that you mentioned it, i might just do it." i smirk, playing along with him.

he lets out a chuckle as he rests his hand on my upper thigh, "it feels like we've been driving forever."

"it's because you don't know where we're going. we've only been driving for six minutes." i tell him, realizing we were almost there.

"can you give me a hint?" he asks.

"no."

"why?"

"because it's a surprise."

"you're an ass."

"shut up."

ethan and i burst out laughing, and i smile when i can see the location waiting in front of me. god, did this take forever.

i park the car about five meters away from where we were going. ethan's hand searched for his seatbelt as he unbuckled and wiggled his nose. "now what?"

i got out of the car and went around to help him out and i wrapped my arm around his waist as i guided him towards what i had created.

"i smell pizza." ethan sniffs.

"take off your blindfold." i smile.

ethan grins nervously, untying the knot at the back, the second the black strip revealed his eyes, his mouth slowly fell open as his eyes gazed across the blankets and lights in the middle of the forest.

"allie, you did all this?" he asks, slowly stepping towards it. he looks down at the warm pineapple pizza that is still his favourite, that was being held by a special memory.

"the carnival." he turns around and smiles at me. "you kept it?" he asks, looking down at the stuffed penguin.

passing by the cotton candy stand, i saw a claw game machine and immediately squeeze ethan's hand. "go win me a prize."

ethan grins, slipping a ticket into the machine, i cheer him on as he tries his best to get me a stuffed animal, finally with some tries, the claws grab onto a stuffed penguin and he cockily hands it to me.

"why thank you," i giggle. "nobody has ever won me a stuffed animal before."

he gives me smug smile, "looks like i'm your first for a lot of things then."

"i love you allie." ethan sighs, wrapping his broad arms around my waist, "this means so much to me. you mean so much to me."

"i love you too. i wanted to show you how just how much you mean to me, and i wanted to apologize for being such a bitch sometimes." i sigh.

ethan smiles softly, brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear before he presses his lips against mine for a few seconds, and pulls away. "i'm sorry for being a dick sometimes too."

i interlock our fingers together before bringing him into the fort that i spent days making.

ethan popped open the bottle of champagne and poured us each a glass before taking a bite out of his favourite pizza. we spent time laughing together and catching up in the ways we didn't before, laughing at old memories and bonding over new things we weren't aware that we had in common.

i told him about kyle and how our relationship started, and i told him about how the abuse started as well. ethan and i poured our hearts out to each other and reminisced exactly what high school threw at us.

"have you ever heard of the heavenly pursuit?" i ask, nuzzling my head closer into the crook of his neck as we laid flat on our backs, watching the stars.

he's drawing shapes on my back with his thumb as he replies. "no, what is it?"

"well, autumn is the time of year that the moon, after pursuing the sun set finally catches up to her. but then he out distances her and the whole pursuit begins again. it's kind of like two lovers that lose one another, but their love is so powerful that he spends his entire life trying to find her." i sigh.

ethan chuckles a little, "sounds kind of tragic."

"i know, i'm a such a sucker for a cheesy love story." i grin. "but i think every girl wants a moon."

ethan rolls me on top of him, and smiles as he caresses my cheek with his thumb. "i think i am your moon."

"you know what i think?" i ask.

"hmm?" ethan asks.

"i think this is fait. giving us a second chance." i smile, bending down to connect lips with ethan.

ethan smiles, but kisses back harder, causing to switch positions and roll himself on top of me now. our lips connect at different angles, and our breathing was beginning to hitch.

"let me make love to you." he whispers, his sticky plump lips leaving trails of kisses along my neck and collar bone.

i sigh, shutting my eyes tightly, enjoying the sensation that only ethan could bring me. i knew i loved ethan, and i knew he was the only one i wanted.

"okay." i breathe, allowing our clothes to slip off layer by layer.

we slept together that night and i couldn't say it wasn't the best feeling in the world. curled up next to your high school sweetheart in the middle of a romantic tent in the woods, knowing that everything was going to be okay, made life a little bit brighter.
