"This has been really fun Ethan" I said while still holding the monkey .
"I’m glad. I was hoping you still liked carnivals
I laughed "How do you know that by the way? I didn’t think you knew anything about me"
Ethan snorted "I know everything about you. Even now, though you’ve changed some things stay the same."
"Like what?" I asked suppressing my smile
"Like your favorite color, black. The fact that you get the cutest crease on your forehead when you’re mad. That you wrinkle your nose and purse your lips whenever your really concentrating on something. Your bottom lip trembles when you’re sad and you have a glare that can scare the strongest of men. But you know the one thing that never changes about you?"
"What?"
"Your eyes" he said and stopped walking to turn and look at me "The most beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen. The eyes I’d love to get lost in more than I already am, if you’d let me. And the eyes that give you away sometimes, when you’re trying to hide your feelings, your eyes say it all."
"How do you know all this?" I asked trying to keep my voice normal but I was more than surprised
"Because you were always important to me Lily, no matter how awful I treated you"
"Then why did you?"
"High school got to me, when we first started I wanted to be cool, like an alpha should be. And when people said being cool didn’t involve you, I listened" he said and I averted my gaze to stare at my feet but felt him lift my chin so I could look at him "I was an idiot, a confused kid. I made so many mistakes Lily, things I wish I could take back"
I stayed silent and stared at him, not knowing what to say and Ethan smiled, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear, his hand resting against my cheek and I fought the urge to close my eyes and lean into it. "you know who you remind me off?"
"Who?"
"Snow white" he stated "Black hair" he used his free hand to play with a strand of my hair "Blue eyes" the hand on my cheek moved so that his thumb was close to my eyes and I closed them and felt him run his thumb gently over my eyelids "Red lips" his thumb went towards my lips,rubbing his thumb gently over my bottom lip "The fairest in all the land"
I pulled my head away and frowned "I don’t like snow white" I stated
"Why?"
Ethan licked my bottom lip asking for entrance and I opened my mouth and let his tongue in, as my hands ran through his hair and one of his hands lovingly brushed my face. "That is a real kiss" he said against my lips "This is the one I’ll consider our first"
When we finally pulled away to breathe I opened my eyes and gasped "Oh my god" I whispered breathlessly as I saw the snow flakes falling around us slowly "It’s snowing"
"It is" Ethan said but kept his eyes on me, looking at me in a way that made me shiver, it wasn’t hunger, more like awe.
"This is amazing" I laughed looking around me, the snow was lightly sticking to the trees and things around us. I laughed and spun in a circle, my hat flying to the ground "Come on"
Ethan’s P.O.V.
"Come on" she said motioning for me to go to her but I just couldn’t find it in me to move, my hands holding both of the toys she won as I watched her laugh and jump around. I smiled at the way she looked now; her cheeks flushed from the cold, her eyes shining, her smile bright, and small snowflakes on her hair and eyelashes. I just stared a bit more, saving the picture of her like this in my memory "You can’t enjoy snow if you’re just standing there"
"What do you want me to do?" I asked still smiling at her, I would never get enough of this sight of her, she just looked so god damn beautiful.
"Spin around" she laughed and I set the toys down and walked towards her
