"I do love a food shop" I tell Ethan as we walk into the shop
"You just like looking at all the pointless shit you don't need but you'll just get it anyway" he says and I laugh
"True" i say and he smiles at me
"So what do you want?" He asks me
"Hmmm.... pasta" I say
"We could do pasta for tea, I have chicken that needs using up so chicken pasta?" He asks and I nod
"Sounds good to me" i say and he smiles
"So what else should we get?" He asks
"I dunno, I'm not fussy really" I say and he scoffs
"Okay, I'm not that fussy" I say and he smirks
"Fine" i grit out, "I only like certain foods"
He laughs as we walk around the shop.
"Did have enough bread this morning?" He asks
"No I finished it off at lunch" I say
"White or brown?"
"Brown" I say
"Look at us, doing grown up things" I say and he chuckles
"Who would have thought? Not me" he says and I laugh
"I don't think people realise how responsible we actually are" I say
"I know, we are mature people" he says
"Exactly" i say nodding
"Ravioli?" He asks
"No" i say instantly, "I am sick of ravioli"
"Did you get the bad rations?" He asks me
"You have no idea" i say and he laughs as we walk through the supermarket
Half and hour later.
"Milk, eggs, pasta, pasta sauce, bread, ham, chicken, bacon, beef, cheese, oranges, grapes, chocolate chip cookies for you and shortbread for me, butter, vegetables, crisps" he says and i nod
"Do we need anything else?" I ask him
"I don't think so" he says and i nod as we head towards the tills
"You know I've enjoyed my day out" i say loading the food into the little slider till converbelt thing that no one knows the name of
"So have I" he tells me and i smile at him
"So" he begins and I look up at him
"What?" I ask him
"It's your birthday on Monday" he says
"I know, and we aren't going to do anything for it" i say
"Come on Eden, your going to be nineteen" he says and I roll my eyes
"Don't even get me started" I groan and he rolls his eyes
"I've not celebrated by birthday in three years and we're going to keep it like that" i tell him
"That's exactly fifty three dollars" she tells me
"I'm paying" Ethan and I say together
"No I am" i tell him
"No, let me" he says
"No, I'm living with you your going to let my pay for something I tell him" i say before handing the woman the money
"Here's your receipt" she tells me and I thank her loading the food into the shopping cart and we head outside.
"I don't care what you say, I'm taking you out tomorrow night for your birthday" he tells me
"Fine" i tell him slightly annoyed and I glance at close protection a few cars away from us
"Oh and your wearing a dress" he says and I glare at him.

"Where are we even going?" I shout to him and he walks into the bedroom and stands behind me and I look inside the wardrobe
"I have no nice clothes here with me" i say
"That's why I got Mia to drop something off today" he says and I turn around and look up at him
"What did she drop off?" I ask and he walks over a cupboard and he hands me a bag
I open it and pull out a tiny black dress.
"No" i say
"Yes" he says
"No" I whine, "Ethan, you cant make me wear this"
"Is that or your going in your pjs" he says
I take another look inside the bag to see heals.
"No" I shout and he jumps slightly
"No heals, I'll wear the dress" I tell him
"What's the big deal?" He asks me
"You know... the fact that if I trip I could break my ankle" I tell him and he rolls his eyes
"Do what you want" he says lying on the bed
"I will do" i say jumping on the bed next to him
"I do what I want" I tell him and he looks at me as I take my hair out of the french plait I've had it in all day
"I like your hair down" he says moving his fingers gently through my hair
"So do I" i say
"Why not have it down more often then?" He asks me
"Gets in the way, and it's hassle" I tell him and he nods
"I see" he says and I meet his eyes.
"I'll wear all of it" i tell him
"If you do the washing for this week" i tell and he chuckles
"Deal" he says
"Good" i say before moving off my side and I lie on my back
I feel his eyes on me as I stare up at the ceiling
"Why are you staring at me?" I ask him
"Because your beautiful" he says and i blush and avoid his eyes
"Your blushing" he says
"Really?" I say sarcastically and he laughs
"Come here" he says wrapping his arm around my waist and he pulls me towards him
"You are gorgeous and your taking that compliment because that's an order" he tells me and I giggle
"Fine" i say and he trails is hand over my cheek.
I move my eyes away from his for a seconds before I move them back up to his.
I glance to his lips and he moves towards me so we're only an inch away from each other.
I tilt my head up and I press my lips softly against his and he kisses me back gently for a few seconds before we pull away from each other.
He smirks at me and I bite my and burry my head into my chest.
He wraps his arm around me, holding me close to him.
