Last Night:An EarnPete Fanfic

38. In Check

Pete

I was at the University parking. I was waiting for Earn to come as he said he would be coming over and stay at my place for the night.

I felt a little excited I can't erase the smile I had on my face. It will be the first time we're seeing each other in person after we said I love you over the phone two nights ago.

To be honest, I thought I will be the first one to say those words to him and looking back, I can't even blame myself. Earn was just too perfect. Since the first sober moment I knew him, I knew he's someone trustworthy. Maybe a little crazy, but definitely trustworthy.

Together with how Phun described him and with everything he'd shown me, there was no question, I did myself a huge favor when I finally agreed to be his boyfriend.

I was overwhelmed with everything that was happening and of what I felt for Earn that I kept myself from saying those words to him with the fear that he might run for the hills when he heard it. After all, it hadn't been long since we started.

But lately, Earn was slowly making me realized that it wasn't always about the amount of time you were together but actually how you made use of those times and every moment with Earn was just epic.

That was why, I stopped reigning myself and just waited for me to actually say it casually, but Earn beat me to it. And I can't believe how natural it felt. All the more reason that I should really stop over analyzing things and just get on with it.

I smiled inwardly.

We both got busy during the day that the last messages we had for each other was the one I sent him before that incident with Jek.

I sighed.

I was torn between telling Earn about the incident or just keeping it to myself. I was reeling on the option when I heard a knock on my window. I looked up to see a smiling Earn.

I smiled back and rolled my window down.

"What?"

I saw him signalled for me to scoot towards the passenger seat.

I made a face at him.

"I just wanted to drive my boyfriend."

He said as he opened the door to my side.

"You're already driving me. Crazy at that."

I said but I scooted anyway.

He was laughing when he got in. I looked at him. I missed the guy. I shook my head. Pau was right. I got it bad! Not that I wasn't aware, but still...

"I missed you..."

Earn looked at me, his eyes smiling. He was playfully tugging at my cheeks as I rolled my eyes.

I took his hands off my face and stared at him.

There was no way I was handing him over to anyone that easily.

"Don't you have anything to say to me now that we're actually at each other's face?"

I tried to look perfunctory.

Earn smirked and cupped my face. Before long, we were kissing. I was smiling over his lips as I responded to his kiss eagerly.

He was smiling when we broke the kiss.

"I love you."

My face slowly cracked into a smile. My heart felt full. I loved this man! I'm keeping him. There was no way I'm letting anybody at him.

"I love you."

I said before I pulled him to me and initiated another round of make out.

"I'm really excited for tonight!"
