          It was about 2 pm when Ethan left my apartment for his meeting. I had time before he was going to pick me up. I remove the mac book resting on the office table beside my bed and place it in my lap while I lay comfortably on my white sheets. I scroll through my Tumblr feed and repost an excessive amount of aesthetically pleasing images.

            I start to get bored of scrolling through Tumblr and decide to check out my other social media accounts. I exit the Tumblr app and click on Instagram. As soon as I open the app my notifications signal that I have 5000 notifications. I click on the button that shows who has liked and commented on my pictures, I notice that numerous amounts of accounts want to follow me. My heart started beating faster from the excitement of the overwhelming amount of accounts that want to follow me.

           My mind just flashed back to the kiss that Ethan and I shared on the beach while someone took a picture of us. I quickly log on to twitter to see the picture of Ethan and I kissing all over my feed. A lot of the accounts that posted the picture were sweet and reminded Ethan that the fandom supports him if he wanted to be in a relationship. Other accounts were not as supportive as they would tweet hateful things towards me. It didn't bother me as much until my page was full of hateful tweets. They became so overwhelming that I could feel my hands shake from fear and tears brim in my eyes from sadness.

             I quickly close the mac book laptop and put it on the white desk table beside the bed. My eyes wander around the room until my sight locks on the ocean across the apartment. I watch the waves roll as I try to distract myself. I decided to take a nap, so when I wake up I can be refreshed for my date with Ethan. I peel myself off the bed and close the curtains to block out the sunlight. I lay back in bed and cover myself with the white sheets that had a scent of lavender. I put my alarm clock on for 5 pm so I have time to get ready. I then snuggle up with my pillows, close my eyes, and drift off to a blissful sleep.

----------

          I hear a sudden beeping as my eyes shoot open to the sound of the alarm clock. I lift up my upper body and stretch. I remove myself from the bed and pick up my phone as I open the music app and put on some off my favorite songs, so I can get ready and dance. I walk towards the white walk in closet where I stored most of my clothes, half of my wardrobe is still in my suitcase. I rummage through the closet as I move the hangers back and forth. My eyes lock on something lace and black.

            I remove the piece of clothing from the rack and smile. It was perfect, a little dressy, not too dressy, just casual. It was a short, long sleeve black jumper that had lace wrapped around every part. I drape the piece of clothing over my arm and grab my undergarments.

            I walk towards the bathroom as I place my outfit on the counter. I remove my clothes and take a shower while I listen to my music. I finally finish my shower and put on the outfit I picked out earlier. I brushed my teeth while I set of the flat iron so I could straighten my hair.

---------

            After I finished straightening my hair I parted it straight down the middle. I brush my teeth while I start to unpack my makeup bag. I curled my eyelashes and put on a small coat of mascara. I put on a little bit of pink blush and a nice shade of pink lipstick. I just put on makeup ingredients that highlighted features. I put on my deodorant, and perfume that contained a fruity scent. I exit my bathroom and head back to my closet so I could find a pair of shoes. I pick up a black pair of sandals that had little diamond accents. I head to the living room and watch videos while I wait for Ethan to arrive.

             It was about 7:10 pm when I heard a knock on the door. I peel myself off the couch and open the door to reveal a really cute and confident Ethan. He was wearing a pair of black vans and grey ripped skinny jeans that were kinda baggy, as well as a black muscle tank. His hair was messy but in a tamed type of way. All I could do was smile when I saw him.

              "Hey cutie," he said as he wrapped his large arms around my waist, as I place my arms around his neck and breath in the scent of his cologne. "Hey handsome," I said into his neck, he placed a quick peck on my cheek, I smile at his sudden act of kindness. I turn my body to lock the apartment door with my keys.

                He smoothly placed his arm around my waist as we walked through the halls in a comfortable silence. We went down the elevator making small talk as we arrived in the underground parking lot. He leads me to his black jeep and opens the passenger door for me like gentlemen. "Where are we going?" I ask with curiosity, "It's a surprise" he says as a smirk plasters along his face. He backs out of his parking lot and exits the underground parking lot.

He was ten times hotter when he drove.

            I watch the clouds through the tinted window as I feel Ethan's hand connect with mine. I remove my gaze from the sky to Ethan. We both smile at each other, he then returns his gaze to the road.

            As he stops at a red light he grabs his phone and connects it to the aux cord so we could listen to music. For the rest of the drive, we jammed out and listened to his music. We were laughing hysterically as we sing the old songs he had on his phone. The song "Burnin' up" by Jonas brothers came on.

          "No way! this is legit one of my favorite songs, I was obsessed with them when I was younger" I say as I sing along to the lyrics. He starts to laugh at my witty comment, "You're too cute" he says while he's still laughing at me.

           "Okay, but in all seriousness who was your favorite Disney channel star?" I ask while I watch him waiting for an answer. "Hannah Montana," He says as he looks at me with a smile on his face, I start to laugh at our childish conversation that was pretty entertaining. "What about you?" he asks, "I was always a Kim Possible kinda girl" I reply as we both laugh.

           "I actually broke my arm trying to do a flip while I watched the show," I said still laughing, "No way!" He said in shock but started laughing in even harder.

The whole ride there was full of laughter.
