Could burn my heart away

We are young

But we can make it rain

I wake up and slowly sit up. Then I grab my phone and look at the date. Yay presents!

I glance at the time and see it's 11:07. Wow I'm so popular!

❤️

I smile and get out of bed. Shut up you love it.

After I fix my hair I head downstairs to eat some breakfast. Two hours later I start to get ready for work.

I hear the doorbell ring and head downstairs. "Bye Mom and Jade!"

"See you later!" Jade says.

"Love you!" My mom says.

I open the door and see Ethan. "Hi!" I say closing the door.

He grins at me and leans down to kiss me. When we pull apart I ask, "What was that for?"

"I just missed my girlfriend." He says shrugging.

I smile at his words and say, "It's only been two days."

"Two days too many." Ethan says grabbing a hold of my hand.

Once we're in the cafe Mrs. Cooper greets us. "Hey kiddos!" She says.

"What's up?" Ethan asks.

"There's a shipment of boxes that are supposed to be arriving in an hour. So when it comes can you guys unload it, and put it on the shelf, in the back?" She asks heading back to her office.

"Sure!" I say smiling at her.

Ethan and I put on our aprons and a few customers start coming in.

An hour later the delivery guy comes and drops off four boxes. Ethan and I grab the boxes and bring them to the back. When we set them down Ethan walks towards me and says, "I bet I can unbox the most boxes."

"Ya we're not competing-" I stop to get a head start and push him away from the boxes.

"Cheater!" He says softly chuckling.

I smirk and continue to open the boxes. I win by a landslide and see Ethan open the last box.

"I win!" I say smiling at Ethan.

He walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist. "Ya well I would have so won if you didn't push me."

"Excuses excuses." I say on my tippy toes. He captures my lips with his and I feel him smile against my lips.

When we pull apart I grin at him. "You are the best girlfriend in the world." He says.

"Oh honey I know." I say snapping my fingers in a z formation. "But it's nice to hear it..." I murmur.

I cup his cheek and kiss him when I hear the door open. I use Ethan as a shield and grab his arm. Mrs. Cooper glances at us and then says, "I just need to grab some more whipped cream..."

After she grabs what she needs she turns around and says, "Continue shelving." When she walks away Ethan looks at me and laughs.

"Shut up." I say shyly. Whatever!

Ethan smiles at me and leans down to kiss me again. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. Fine!

After a few more kisses Ethan says, "Okay let's get back to work." I nod but give him one more peck on the cheek. Sorry his kisses are addicting...

I look out the window and see it's starting to snow. Yay!

Can't wait! That sounds fun! Even though I'll end up deleting all of them... I'm too ugly to actually keep the pictures.

Mrs. Cooper walks over to Ethan and I with two presents in hand. "Merry Christmas guys!" She says handing me a bag.

"Thank you Mrs. Cooper! You didn't have to get me anything!" I say smiling.

"Oh it's nothing. The mug you bought me was so adorable I had to get you something!" She says happily.

I laugh and say, "I'm glad you liked it."

"Where's my present?" Ethan says giving her a a fake pout.

"Who said I got you a present?" She says to him.

"I'm kidding! Of course I got you one. But you know you can't get it until tomorrow." She says smirking.

"Oh ya that family party thing..." Ethan says.

When Ethan and I leave the cafe I look up and admire all the little snowflakes. It also makes my hair look cool!

I turn around and see Ethan with his phone out. I don't know but he looks cute so I don't care why.

Once we get inside of Ethan's car he asks, "Do you want to go on a date?"

"Like now?" I ask. "I mean I don't even look that good for a date right now... Then again when do I ever-" He cuts me off by cupping my cheek and kisses me.

"You look perfect." He murmurs against my lips.

"And anyway... I don't look all dressed up either." Ethan says shrugging.

"Ya but it's different for you. You always look hot..." I say rolling my eyes.

"You think I look hot?" He asks with a tint of red on his cheeks. Probably not it's cold outside so...

Oh shit I didn't really think about what I just said... "Shut up." I murmur covering my cheeks with my hands.

He takes my hands and brushes his lips against mine. "Can I take my girlfriend out on a date or no...?" He asks with a cute pout.

I smile when he says girlfriend and say, "Sure."

When he exits the parking lot I ask, "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise!" He says smiling. "Just kidding we're here." He says parking.

"The park?" I ask. I gasp and ask, "Are we going to make a snowman?"

"Unless you think that's stupid then we-" This time I pull him in for a kiss and cut him off.

"I love it!" I say grinning.

We walk to the middle of the park and he hands me my gloves. "Oh thank you! I thought I left them at the cafe..."

A few minutes later we finish our masterpiece. "It's beautiful." Ethan says putting the last pebble on the face.

"Can I borrow your phone for a second? Mine died..." I say. Well it was enough for Ethan and I to watch The Office during our break and that's all that matters.

"Sure." He says handing me his phone.

I smile when I put my fingerprint in and notice his background. "Oh cool you changed your backg-" I say before I realize the photo is me... Well that's because only half my face is in it...

"That's me!" I say smiling at Ethan.

His face starts to turn red because of the cold and he says, "Y-ya... I took it while you were admiring the snowfall. If you don't like it I can change it."

"No I love it!" I say grinning.

He smiles at me and then finishes the last touches of the snowman. We start taking pictures with our snowman and I kiss his cheek in one.

Once we're done, we say goodbye to our creation, and walk back to Ethan's car. "Do you want to order a pizza and just hang out in my living room."

"Sure. As long as your family doesn't mind." I say shrugging.

"Jade's at a sleepover and my parents are going out on a date." He says.

"So we'll be all alone?" I ask.

"Yep." Ethan says smirking.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I ask wiggling my eyebrows.

After we finish making our sundaes, we get inside the fort we created, and continue to watch The Office. I scoop the ice cream onto the spoon and smile. Especially with the whipped cream.

I glance at Ethan and see he's engrossed with the episode. I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have Ethan...

He makes me feel so happy. I don't think I could live without him. He's like my home... God that sounds cheesy.

Ethan twists his face and catches me staring. "What?" He asks softly smiling.

"Nothing." I say looking away. Shut up. I continue to eat my ice cream when his arm pulls me closer. I lay my head against his shoulder, and continue to watch Pam and Jim get married.

When the episode ends I look at the time. "Oh damn it's getting late..." I stand up and start to clean up.

"I did not think it was already midnight." Ethan says laughing.

"Merry Christmas Eve!" I say grinning.

He stands up and cups my cheek. He softly kisses me and I pull him closer with my free hand.

"Merry Christmas Red." He murmurs.
