falling | ethan & emma

one

as i open my eyes i turn to the side, reading the digital clock beside the bed.
3:24 am.

i got out of bed and head towards the kitchen of the hotel room. i walk in the kitchen and make myself a cup of coffee and step out onto the balcony, sitting on one of the chairs, enjoying the view.

"e, what are you doing out here?" a voice from behind me says. i turn around to face a sleepy emma in her robe and messy bun, with a cup of coffee too.

"i can't sleep." i turn back around and sip my coffee. emma takes the seat beside me. "sister james started sister snoring" she chuckles as she sips her coffee.

i grin and turn my head towards her. she looked so gorgeous. she looked back at me and i give a sly smirk.

"like what you see?"
"i mean, i guess that it certain angles and lightning, you're um.. attractive."

i chuckle as i take my last sip of coffee. leaving it on the side table. emma gets up and takes her robe off, leaving her in her bathing suit.

"i came prepared." she said as she got into the hot tub.
"i didn't" I laugh. "im only in boxer briefs" i laugh as i take off my robe and purposely flex my abs and arms, making her smile widely. she looked so beautiful.

ive always admired emma, she was beautiful. The way she smiled with her teeth when she laughed, or how her eyes light up when she looks at the sunset. im in love with her. even her flaws are perfect to me. i think she likes grayson, but i don't blame her, most of the fans are in graysons lane anyways.

as I sit in the hottub, emma gets up from beside me and scotches over to the opposite side. i raise my brow.

"is there a problem?" i ask. "no problem, just like this side better." she says as she grabs her coffee beside her and takes a sip.

i then brig myself beside her, raising my arm across her shoulder as she snuggles into my chest. "its cold out." she laughs, knowing its getting a bit awkward. "it's no problem" i look down at her and smile, rubbing my thumb on her arm while she wraps her arm around me. i wish we could stay like this forever.

she looks up at me, creating strong eye contact between us. i break the eye contact and look at her lips and I pull her closer to me, swinging her on top of me. (peter k and lara jean kiss scene) i then grab her face, and kiss her passionately. after awhile, i pull away, smiling. she smiles back.

"ive wanted to do that for a long time" i gaze into her eyes. "to be honest, so have i" she blushes and turns her head. i turn her head by the chin and attack her with another kiss. i bring my hands under her, standing up and walking out of the hottub. (position in photo^)

i break apart the kiss and use one hand to slide open the door, pressing her lips against mine as we walk inside. she breaks the kiss and looks down at me.

"what does this mean?" she asks. i know what she's asking and i hope this answer will make her happy. "it means, do you wanna go on a date with me? we could leave a note for gray and james and go grab a coffee" i say, placing her back into her feet. (emma drinks lots of coffee, so who cares?)

she grabs her phone. "at 5 am?" she laughs. man i love that smile. "if you're down?" i ask, scratching the back of my neck. "i would love to." she says as she walks into the room. she then turns around. "come on!" she says. i follow her into the room.

when we get into the car we head for starbucks. i park the car and immediately go for emmas door as she reaches out for the handle. she falls forward and I catch her. "sorry" she blushes. i close the door, pushing her up against the car. "don't be" i say and then press my lips against hers as i feel her smile into the kiss.

she playfully pushes me off before I could deepen the kiss and i fake frown. she grins. "let's go" she says as she grabs my hand, looking up at me.

the rest of the night included us talking, laughing and drinking multiple coffees. it was perfect. she was perfect.

i was falling for her. and i was falling hard.
