It was Valentine's day and you were supposed to meet up with your best friends Thomas and Newt. You decided to wear a cute black cut off top with a red leather jacket and a white scarf. You pulled on your favorite ripped skinny jeans and headed out the door. You guys agreed to meet at your favorite coffee shop. You arrived there but it was just Newt and Thomas was nowhere to be seen.
" Where's Thomas?" You ask, smiling as you sat down.
Newt smiled back, "Um he couldn't make it. He has his thing with his new girlfriend." he said.
" Oh. Okay, so what do you want to do as single pringles this valentine's day?" You asked
" Well uh, I wanted to first buy you coffee and then I have a few things on my mind." he said, still smiling.
" Okay.." You said, curious to know what the things were. He ordered coffee and two cinnamon rolls. He knew exactly what coffee to get you. A s'mores latte with extra whipped cream and chocolate. " So how was your night last night?" Thomas asked.
" It was okay I guess. I cooked dinner for myself and watched Vikings till I had to go to bed." you said.
" Sounds so exciting." Newt laughed.
" Yeah, tell me about it. What did you do?" you asked
" Oh just about the same except I went to the gym and then came home and watched netflix." he said.
" That sounds nothing like what I did." You said smiling.
" Hey I cooked dinner! That's like what you did right?" he said, smiling back.
" Yeah I guess." you laughed. You two finished your coffee and took his car to drive to the mall.
" Why are we going to the mall?" you asked.
" Because I want to have some fun and I know you love shopping." he said.
You smiled and got out of the car. It was beginning to rain so you both ran inside.
" Which store do you want to go to first?" He asked, breathing heavily.
" Um, Barnes N' Noble?" You ask.
" Sure." He took your hand in his and led you to your favorite book store.
You breathed in the scent of freshly printed books and magazines.
" I love it here.." you sighed.
" Me too. I love the little toys and gadgets they have." he grinned.
You rolled your eyes. " Well I love the books and comics here.." You said going to the fantasy isle.
" Are any of your books in here?" he asked.
" Hmm.. One of them should be. I had gotten an email from my publisher that Barnes N Noble had bought one of my books." you said thoughtfully.
" Can I buy it?" Newt asked.
" You want to buy a book that I wrote? One that probably is for teenage girls?" You ask.
" Yeah why not? Its written by you. I want to read how amazing it is." he said, shrugging.
You laughed. " Follow me, it should be right about…. Here." You pulled out a grey and black decorated book. You handed it to Newt and he turned it over, reading the back of it.
" It sounds like an adventure." he said softly.
" Believe me it was an adventure trying to write it." you said laughing.
He smiled softly and kept the book in hand as he went to another book aisle. You brushed your hand across a row of books looking for the right one when all of the sudden,Newt popped out from behind a shelf with a clone helmet on from Star Wars. " We got the prisoner!" he growled playfully from behind the helmet and grabbed your arm, pulling you towards him.
You laughed and smacked his chest. "Newt what are you doing?" You giggled.
He took off his helmet, revealing a head of messy hair. " Being adorable." he replied.
You smiled. "Come on, let's go buy our books and go to Hot Topic." you said.
" Okay love. That's fine." he said.
He paid for your books and he took your hand and led you to Hot Topic. There were different scents of cologne and perfumes in the store and you looked through different clothes.
" So do you think this comes in my size?"Newt asked and held out a shirt that said Daddy's lil monster on it.
" Probably, you're small enough." you laughed.
He rolled his eyes at your comment and kept digging through the clothes racks.
Soon your shopping day was over. Hands full of bags you ran back out to the car, since it was still raining. You two got into the car and looked at each other, smiling.
" Wanna go get something to eat?" you asked, realizing it was almost dinner time.
" I have something planned for us." he said, and started driving out of town. The rain was replaced by beautiful sunlight and you looked around at your surroundings. He drove into a woodland trail as the sun began to set. " Where are we going?" you ask.
" We are going to have a picnic." he said, keeping his eyes on the road.
You blushed and smiled. He was so romantic and funny. It was surprising he didn't have a girlfriend. He pulled into a spot where the trees opened up to the crimson sky. Stars speckled it, like little flickering lanterns. He got out of the car and opened your door for you. You stepped out and took his hand. " You wanna help me set up our picnic?" he asked.
" Yes." you said softly.
He pulled out a soft blanket and sat it on the hood of the car. He then pulled out a pizza box that was still warm.
" How did you…" you began.
" When you fell asleep on the ride here I stopped at a pizza place and got it. I'm kinda sneaky." he replied and sat it between you as you two hopped onto the hood of the car.
You smiled as you took a slice of pizza and began to eat it carefully.
" Want something to drink?" he asked.
" Yes please." you said. And like magic he pulled out a bottle of raspberry champagne.
" I forgot the glasses so we're going to have to share the bottle like a couple of hobos." he laughed.
" Fancy hobos." you said smiling. You two talked of your childhoods as you ate and your plans for the future.
When you were finished eating he took your hand. " Wanna go walk around in the moonlight for a little while?" he asked.
" Um sure." you said and followed him to the lantern lit path. You both cracked jokes while you walked, making each other laugh at one another's stories. When you got back to the car he took both your hands and looked at you right in the eyes.
" Y/n I did all this stuff for you, because I know valentine's day can be lonely." he said. Your heart strings began to tug at his words.
" Look, I like you, y/n no.. I love you. I love everything about you. Your eyes, your smile.. Your laugh. I know you hate it but it's beautiful." he continued. Tears threatened your eyes, but you held on. " I did all of these things for you, y/n because I love you. I hear that you've been treated wrong by other guys. That you're afraid of love. And I know this is typical to say but I hope you believe me when I say I'm not like them.. I want to make sure you're happy and that you're safe. That you won't cry at my words or actions, well maybe happy tears." he paused and stared at you, his eyes sparkling in the moonlight.
" I just want to know one thing… do you love me back?" he asked. You couldn't speak, tears were trailing down your cheeks. You leaned in and crashed your lips into his, tears still streaming. He held onto you, as if the world were to take you away. You broke the kiss and whispered, " I love you,Newt, I always will." He smiled and scooped you up in his arms and carried you to the car. On the drive home, you sat in silence. Your eyes began to get droopy and you fell asleep, with his hand still in yours.
