Ethan's POV

My eyes flutter open and I try to look around: I quickly recognise that I'm in my room, and I pick up my phone from the nightstand. I didn't wake up to an alarm this morning, which means it's Saturday. I scroll through my social media's for a little bit, but I decide not to be lazy and get up since it's 10 am. I put on a pair of sweats since I'm only in my boxers and go downstairs to make myself some breakfast. I grab a bunch of fruit, cut it up and blend it to make a smoothie. I drink my smoothie and go upstairs to change into my workout clothes: I like to keep fit even though my job is a sit-down job. Working out is my third favourite thing to do: second is sitting at my spot and watching the sunset, and first is actually a new addition... talking to Winnie. That's why I look forward to get out of work everyday: her voice is a sound I will never get tired of, and her hand movement and gestures are so delicate. The way she would lightly touch my hand, or touch my arm, that touch gives away little electric shocks, that go through my body quicker than I can blink. Whenever I'm with her, I get really nervous, always freaking out about what to say even though she can't hear me. Speaking of, I wanna see her. I finish my workout and get in the shower, rinsing away all the sweat and any smell my body could've given out. I change into an orange hoodie, black jeans and my white high-top converse. I lock up the house and go through the woods, and not even 10 minutes later, I get to my spot. As I had suspected, I see the beautiful girl I came here for, and, as always, sketching away. I look over her shoulder to see what she's drawing today, and to my surprise, it's me. My heart bursts from happiness, causing a loving smile to form on my face. I go and sit beside her, and as soon as she notices me, she immediately turns her sketch pad over and puts it beside her.

W: "Ethan! What uh, W-what are you doing here?"

It's so cute how shy she's acting, as if I hadn't seen the drawing already. I'm gonna tease her a little bit and pretend I don't know.

E: "it's the weekend, I had nothing to do, so I decided to come here."

W: "o-oh, uh um, I mean, of course you can do whatever you want"

She let out a little nervous laugh, god I wanna kiss her so bad, she's adorable.

E: "so what are you drawing today?"

She turns as white as snow after the question, and her eyes widen a little.

W: "oh you know, just casual stuff, like, the first thing I saw when I got here I decided to draw it, so I was drawing a-a leaf"

I laugh.

E: "so I'm a leaf now?"

Her face is priceless, I wheeze from her reaction, and she looks down after her cheeks turn into a crimson red from embarrassment. I quitened down and lifted her head up with my fingers.

E: "hey, it's ok. Can I see it?"

She insecurely nods a little bit.

W: "yeah sure"

She says in a barely audible whisper. She hands me the sketch and wow, it legit looks like a black and white picture of me. It's incredible.

W: "it's not my best work but it's... decent... I guess"

E: "you guess? Winnie this is spectacular! You're so talented"

W: "really?"

Ok I can't do this anymore, It's been a week since we met, and each day that passes that I manage to speak to her, I like her more and more, and I gotta do this now. I fully turn towards her and suddenly gain enough confidence to do what I've wanted to do since I first saw her: I plant a kiss on her lips. She's very shocked by my action as it takes her a second to process what I've just done, but eventually and to my biggest surprise, she kisses back.
