I text him. me and andrea are parked outside waiting for him to get in the car.

We are sitting in the car waiting and we see him walk out. God was he the cutest. He looks at me and gives me the biggest smile. I smile and wait for him to get in the car.

"Hey" he says as he gets in.

"hey" me and andrea both say in sync. I drive off and we head to the store.

________________________________

"what are we getting anyways" ethan asks.

"thi- oh shit hold up" i say turning back to the car. I open the door and grab the list then run back up to them.

"this is what we have to get" I say handing him the list.

"meat, tomatoes, bread, milk and dog food. nice" he says looking at it. I giggle.

"someone push the cart, i hate doing it" I say as we walk in.

"I feel like a mom when pushing a cart and i dont like it" I say giggling.

"yall are such babies, ILLLL push the cart" he says ill all dramatically. I laugh.

"i got this, Ill shop" ethan says pushing the cart.

"turn to the left" i say.

"i knowww" he says giggling.

"just making sure your knew" I say laughing.

"where are you even going" I ask him as he's pushing the cart.

"the right way." he says smiling.

"you could've just gone that way" I say pointing to the left.

"noo mama thats where the other people go to walk. See its like car lanes. one is going up and one is coming down" he says turning.

"oh really?" i say as a question and giggling.

"yes really, comon allison get it together" he says joking around. I laugh. I grab the dog food and then we head down to the food.

"I can push" I say grabbing the cart.

"i thought you didnt push carts" he says looking at me.

"i dont but i want to" i say laughing.

"you make nooo sense child" he says giggling.

"who you calling a child" i say looking at him.

"you, now go get the meat" he says pointing his head over to the meat and laughing.

"does it matter what kind" i say confused at all the meat. He comes up behind me. Very closely. Our bodies touching. Hes so much taller than me so hes basically looking over me.

"uhhh, regular meat i guess...." he says looking around.

"are yall stupid. its right here" andrea says grabbing the meat. Me and ethan lightly laugh.

"yall are dumb" she says pushing the cart.

"hey this is my job" ethan says taking over pushing the cart. I laugh.

we go and get the rest of the things and check out.

"28.35" the cashier says. I grab my moms card and go to swipe it.

"you use it like this-"

"i know how to do it" I say looking at ethan and giggling. He laughs. His laugh was so cute. I could listen to it all day. well I use to. When we dated it was non stop laughter.

We would always laugh. Make jokes.

"did you see that guys face" ethan says dying laughing.

"h- he actually thought-" and before i could finish my sentence i bust out laughing.

He laughs even more...his cheeks get red and smile gets bigger. The sound of his laughter echos through the halls of the school.

"im sorry but some substitute teachers can be a little bit stupid" ethan says. I giggle.

"they just dont know sarcasm" i say wiping the laughing tears out from my eyes. He laughs.

"ill see you after gym, love you" I say as i kiss him.

"love you babe" he says walking away. and with that we go to our class...

We had some great laughs. It was the best part of my day tbh. It always made my day better. His laugh made me happy. It made me smile.

"now what" he says.

"now i gotta take you home" I say sadly.

"gotchaa" he says sadly.

"hey we should all hang at allisons tomorrow...could you pick us up from school?" andrea asks.

"yeah and ill ask my mom if you could come over" i say.

"Im down" ethan says smiling. I look in the rear view mirror and smile. I was excited for this.

Of course my mom would say yes. She loves ethan. She would always tell me that he was her favorite. She treated him like one of her own. He was family.

"ethan honey eat something" my mom says.

"its okay mrs lee im really not that hungry" ethan says.

"does this boy ever eat" she says to me.

"he snacks way to much" I say giggling and ethan laughs.

"well if you ever get hungry dont be afraid to make yourself a plate dear" she says.

"thank you" he says smiling.

We start walking upstairs and before we do she stops us.

"oh and ethan were going to a wedding this weekend and i put your name down for allisons date. I hope you can make it" she says smiling.

"id love to go! im sure my mom wont mind" He says. I smile and grab his hand. We walk upstairs.

"date to a wedding huh?" he says smiling and looking at me.

"yeah, you dont gotta go if you dont want to. Its gonna be kinda boring" i say. He stops me.

"allison are you kidding? of course i wanna go. I get to spend all day with you and its a wedding! just think of all the food and fun dancing" he says giggling and holding both sides of my arm. I giggle.

"im glad i get to have you by my side" I say smiling.

________________________________

We get to his house to drop him off.

"you gonna say bye?" he says giggling. I laugh and get out of the car. He opens his arms out and pulls me into a hug.

God did i miss his hugs. Everytime he hugs me he would always squeeze me tight. He would then sway me side to side slowly and then rub his hand up and down my back.

Other times he would just hold me. Hold me tight and never let go.

I loved thoes hugs. They made me feel safe. Made me feel protected.

"see you tomorrow" he says as I look up to him. Were both still in the hug.

"see you tomorrow" I say smiling. He smiles and then slowly leans in grabbing both of my cheeks. His thumb gently rubs over my cheeks as Our eyes close and lips touch. slowly and softly.

Moving in sync two times. Our lips slowly departing with smiles on both of our faces.

"bye ally" he says walking away.

"bye" i say biting my lip and getting in the car.

"text me when you get home and be safe" He says walking.

"always am" I say smiling.

God. That was perfect. I missed those. The way he kissed me. How he would gently grab my faces with his big soft hands. Gently rubbing his thumb up and down my cheek as he moves in slowly to kiss me.

How his soft lips would touch mine moving in sync slowly. Him making the kiss last as long as it possibly can and when he pulls away.

he looks at you with his gorgeous brown eyes and smiles with his perfect straight teeth. He was perfect. In every way. There was not one flaw on him. He was a dream guy. He was the guy everyone wanted and im glad I finally got him.

"oh. My. GODDDD" andrea says.

"You have no idea how happy I am right now" I say giggling.

"HE JUST- HE JUST KISSED YOU" she yells. I laugh.

"BITCH I KNOW" i say laughing.

"seriously allison, you need to be with him" She says.

I know. I just dont wanna move to fast. I dont wanna rush into something I shouldn't be rushing into. I gotta take my time. He'll still be there.
