The best things in life are the people we love, the places we've been, and the memories we've made along the way.

Irene's POV.

Getting off the Ferris wheel, I feel Reese's arms snake back around my waist, "This was amazing," still feeling the exhilaration, I couldn't stop smiling. Reese took so many pictures, with both of us and me alone when I didn't notice. We're making memories and that's what counts.

"So now that we've gone on every ride possible, want to get out of here?" he asks me, "Yes, please! I'm starving!"

Laughing a little he pulls me close, placing a kiss on my forehead as we walked towards the parking. It was the best date I could ever think of, A carnival. As soon as we got to the car, Reese holds me against it before leaning down to kiss me. Kissing him back, I pull him close enough to run my hands over his fine abs over his t-shirt. Damn it, if only we weren't at the carnival.

Breathing against my neck, I could feel Reese's resisting himself from going further, "Could we just go home and order in?"

He kisses my neck still probably surprised by my question, "Nope, we're having dinner out and then going home. Let's see if this is going to force you to be a little more adventurous," he pulls back with a smirk making me roll my eyes.

"Jerk, why did you have to say that?" a smile dances on my lips as he steals another kiss. Adventurous, huh?

"Cause I love you cupcake,"

"Cupcake?" I ask him with a giggle, talk about all the adorable nicknaming. Only Reese could do that and me? Duh, I'm boring but I love the way his name sounds so sticking to that.

"Cause I love cupcakes and well you're as sweet as a cupcake," shaking my head with more laughter making its way out of me, I push him away while he just laughs at my embarrassment before heading back inside the car. Dirty talk, pretty sure no one can beat him at that either. Now he probably ruined my idea of cupcakes.

Reese starts driving through the long parking lot and then we hit the road again while his hand grabs mine rubbing comforting circles, "Where to next?"

"Taco Bell," he had me excited at the word taco. "You plan amazing dates,"

"Having the best girlfriend makes me want to put in some extra effort," he winks making me blush with a smile. Today was already going great with me getting the job and then the photoshoot going great but this date, its like the cherry on top.

None of it was sugarcoated with fanciness, it was just simple and lively. To experience things again and to find myself enjoying life again with Reese by my side meant everything to me. Every kiss was blissful and everything we get to do together creates a memory. A memory that Reese never fails to capture into a photo.

Down with my fourth glass of wine, I feel the alcohol take over after an exhausting yet amazing day and week. Reese leans closer kissing my neck making me moan almost immediately at his touch, "Stop with the foreplay already,"

I push him down, hovering him before attacking his lips, guess this is what happens when you're drunk on both love and alcohol. Reese kisses me back roughly pulling at my t-shirt and taking it off while I fidgetingly remove his pants, "Don't push it love or you're probably going to be having some rough lovemaking,"

Raising my eyebrow, I notice he's not kidding, "Pretty sure I wouldn't mind that," within a blink, Reese pushed me over holding my hands down, "You asked for it,"

A smirk dances on his face as he teasingly leaves hickeys all over my chest making me moan endlessly while his hand still held my hands in place. I wrap my legs around his now naked body as he moved lower and lower while teasing me, "Stop doing that!"

My words are almost breathless as I feel hot with all the moans Reese is causing only by teasing me, "You asked for it, cupcake,"

His hot breath around my womanhood sends jolts of pleasure while he continues his teasing not before kissing my scars gently. Love, that's all I felt, while hot tears streamed out eyes out of pleasure and his acceptance of my flaws. Just like the tears rolled out every single time when he did this.

I shut my eyes tight as soon as I open them to the bright sunlight, "Good morning," Reese says as I snuggle closer against his naked body. Talk about morning bliss.

"Good morning Reese," my voice is groggy making Reese let out a little laugh, "A little too much moaning my name last night?"

His question makes me blush as I slap his chest before he just pulls me close to kiss my eyes while they're still closed. Seems like I had a little bit too much of wine last night.

A giggle escapes my lips when his fingers graze my sides slightly tickling me and I finally open my eyes to his face, "I love it when you wake up with a smile,"

Grabbing his face, I tilt mine upwards and kiss him, kissing me back he runs his hand all over my back before pulling me on top of him, "I'm resisting the urge to call mom and say we're not coming over,"

He whispers while his eyes stay only on my lips and my hand caresses his cheek over his slight stubble, "Wouldn't want them disappointed," I say before he pulls me down making me slam my naked body against his and kissing me once again. Waking up horny might not be such a good idea after all cause right now I might just say yes to Reese's idea to stay home.

"Reese..." I say between kisses before sitting up on his stomach while his lips turn into an adorable pout, "Let's move this to the shower," his excited expression makes me giggle before he into holds my legs up wrapped around him heading into the shower.

A lesson to be learned, don't sleep naked next to your partner if you've got things to do the next day.

"Let me help you with that," I tell Reese as he sets up the barbecue in the small back yard of his parent's house. I grab the tray of burger patties and head over to him while his mom and dad are closing up the bakery for the day. It's so nice that they have the bakery right under their house and a backyard to hang out. Everything set in one place.

Placing the tray on the small table next to the barbeque set up, I turn to Reese but instead I trip over with him standing right behind me, "Woah, slow down a bit will you?"

Reese grabs me by my waist in time pulling me against his chest, "I can't wait to go back home," he kisses me with that being said making me slap his chest before wrapping my arms around his neck. Weekends seem to be his favorite time of the week, just spending endless time with each other.

"Give that poor girl a break," I hear Abigail, Reese's mom's voice in the background and break the kiss, hiding my face in Reese's chest. This is the second time she caught us like this.

Reese laughs still holding me close while his mom just adds, "Just get married already," oh my. That was something I didn't give a thought about and it's only been close to two months since we started dating.

"Stop overthinking it silly, there's a long time before we get there," Reese lifts my face with his finger under my chin and kisses me gently. So he does think we'll get married at some point? I could feel butterflies in my belly with happiness. Happiness?

Woah Irene hold your horses! Just go with the flow and hope that things go in that direction where you both end up together no matter what. Hope.

Calming my thoughts down as Reese broke the kiss I finally speak up, "I guess your mom doesn't hate me after all,"

Giving me a cheeky smile Reese does my favorite thing, kissing my forehead. It's his way of comforting me and showing me how much he cares, "Of course they love you silly, anyone would,"
