I glanced over to see Ethan approaching with his drinks in his hands."Hey Mom." I greeted as he handed me a cup and took a seat beside me."Hey sweetheart, congratulations." My mother smiled at me kindly."Thank you mom." I grinned taking a sip from my cup.I glanced at Ethan and noticed that he was already staring at me. "So Claire, how far along are you?" My dad questioned, pulling my attention back to them."Um, it's just around nine months." I informed them nervously."Six months? That means you should be expecting any day now right?" My mother asked."Right, right. Uh well, that's actually not a bad thing." I chuckled nervously."No? Why?" My mom asked confused."Because that means that when my water breaks Ethan's gonna be there and I'm pretty sure that he will literally jump into the shower with me." I stated glancing at Ethan before giggling quietly."You guys must be so excited about having a baby." She giggled."We sure are, it's gonna be awesome." I agreed enthusiasticall
"Can't you tell me where we're going though?" He chuckled lightly."Just come with me." I chuckled, moving closer to him."Okay." He breathed, raising himself up slightly.He held me tightly in his grasp and leaned forward capturing my lips in a soft kiss before backing away slightly."Let's go then." I smiled before heading towards the doorway leading outside.I closed the door behind me as I stepped outside and waited for Ethan to catch up with me. As soon as I heard him close the door I took a deep breath and took another step outside. This time however, I immediately jumped in surprise when I found Ethan standing right next to me. I blinked a few times trying to get rid of the shock that was currently running through my body, only being able to stare up at Ethan while doing so. "So, am I allowed to ask where exactly we're going now?" He chuckled amusedly."Yes, but no details yet." I grinned."Alright then." He chuckled before grabbing my wrist and dragging me along.We walked s
I stretched again, trying to wake myself up properly as I looked over at Ethan who was still asleep on his side facing me. It wasn't until I saw a pair of red eyes staring back at me that I realized that Ethan was awake. I quickly snapped up, my eyes widening in fear as they began scanning my surroundings, trying to find out who might've woken Ethan up."Calm down sweetheart, it's just me." Ethan whispered softly before letting out a laugh as he ran his fingertips down my cheeks."Sorry." I apologized instantly, resting my head down on his shoulder."It's okay, just try to relax a little." Ethan smiled kissing the top of my head lightly."I will." I smiled, looking back up at him.I wrapped my arms around Ethan's torso tightly, resting my head against his chest. I closed my eyes for a few seconds, listening to the sound of Ethan's heart beating rapidly, and slowly drifted back to sleep."Oh my god, look!" A loud squeal filled the air, causing me to open my eyes. My head snapped to th
The day after Ethan and I decided to move in with each other, we woke up early and went to the nearest supermarket to get some groceries as we had already bought enough food for three people.After we got back home, we ate breakfast quickly, then Ethan helped me carry in all the bags, placing them inside of my bedroom while I started unpacking everything. As soon as everything was put away, Ethan turned around and pulled me close, hugging me closely to his body. The feeling caused butterflies to flutter in my stomach, causing a small smile to tug at the corner of my lips."Why are you smiling?" Ethan whispered, nuzzling his nose against mine."Because I missed you." I confessed, tightening my hold on him."And I missed you." He muttered happily, pulling away slightly to stare deep into my eyes.He lowered his lips towards mine, placing his hand gently against my cheek and pulling me close so that our foreheads were touching. Our eyes remained locked in each others's eyes for a couple
I sat down on his desk chair and dipped the marker in the blue paint that I had on my desk before pressing the tip of the marker to the top edge of the t-shirt. I dragged it down the length of the shirt leaving an outline in black ink before turning my head sideways, trying to make sure the outline wouldn't become too noticeable. When I finished drawing, I grabbed the marker from the desk and drew two hearts underneath it.It didn't take long for me to decide what I was going to do next.Grabbing my phone from my pocket, I sent Ethan a text message saying that I'll be back in fifteen minutes and then I rushed downstairs, locking the front door behind me and running down the sidewalk towards the shopping centre.I had already bought everything that I needed to buy last night, so now I needed to buy what I absolutely needed to buy tonight. After I finished getting everything from the supermarket, I walked back home, parked my car and carried all of the bags inside. Once I entered the
"Ethan, you know that I love my sister, so of course I'd be welcoming to her, but she's hardly ever around either. I've barely seen her since she moved away. I don't really see the point in having a big family dinner just so that she'll show up.""Alright... well... I'll talk to her about it tonight then.""Good, thanks babe." I grinned happily before leaning forward to hug him. He wrapped his arms around me, returning my embrace. The warmth of his body made me smile against his chest.For a while, neither of us spoke a word. But then I realized something. I suddenly remembered the reason why I was planning to spend the whole day with Ethan, I hadn't finished telling him what happened that night in hospital."Hey, do you remember what happened that night in hospital?" I asked hesitantly, breaking the silence between us."No, why?" He frowned in confusion."Because, it's sorta important.""Okay, go ahead and tell me.""Okay, so, you told me to stay the night after I collapsed because I
"My bedroom?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow curiously."Yes. It's kind of obvious now, huh?" Ethan smirked proudly as he gestured vaguely towards his surroundings."What does that mean?" I laughed as I glanced back over at him."Well... I thought you deserved a proper tour of the house. And I figured since you were gonna be staying here permanently, this was as good a time as any to introduce you to my room." Ethan replied simply, shrugging slightly."Alright. Then lead the way. Please." I smiled warmly.Ethan reached out for my hand and held it in his. We started off into his bedroom. I was surprised at how nicely decorated his room was, especially compared to most people in our school. There was a huge bookshelf filled with bookshelves, a desk which was littered with pictures of different landscapes, a set of drawers which were overflowing with papers, a large closet, a mini fridge and a TV mounted to the wall on one of the corners, which contained multiple video games. My eyes
"So, I opened the door yesterday and saw this huge bouquet of flowers sitting on your nightstand, and I just kinda assumed that you had given them to me. I didn't really know what to expect, but I was definitely not expecting this." I chuckled nervously."Oh, yeah, that was my mother. She sent them to congratulate me on winning the competition.""Really? Wow, I didn't realize she knew who I was. Anyway, you're welcome." I smiled."So, you gonna show me what your room looks like?" Ethan asked, breaking the silence which had fallen between us."Of course." I nodded.After unlocking my room, I stepped aside so that Ethan could walk inside. Once he walked in, he took in the sight of my room in awe."Holy shit..." he whispered under his breath in astonishment.The walls were covered entirely in drawings of plants of all different kinds all of different colours and sizes, ranging from normal sized leaves, small stems, and blossoms to huge flowers, butterflies and various insects. The only o
