Bring Me Back To Life || Gavin Lux

Ella's POV- November 2019

There was a light knock on the door as I finished doing my hair. My current go-to hair tool was my one-step hair dryer and volumizer because it could be used with one hand.

"One second" I called out.

I unplugged and set the hot brush on the sink before making my way over to the door. On the other side of the door, stood Gavin.

"You look nice" I complimented as I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the room.

He smiled.

"Thanks, I shaved"

He had changed into a darker pair of jeans and a short-sleeved button-down that showed a bit of the tattoo on his bicep.

"You look beautiful"

"Thank you" I replied.

I rolled my eyes because I was not wearing anything out of the ordinary, a simple t-shirt and black pants.

"So I got you something"

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at the box he was holding.

"What is it?" I asked.

He smiled.

"Open it"

He gestured for me to take the box

"Do you mind helping me?" I asked as I glanced at my hand.

He followed my gaze and took a deep breath.

"Sorry"

Most of my arm was in a cast, hand included.

"It's alright" I assured him.

He opened the box and placed it on my hand so that I could get a look at what was inside.

"Oh," I softly said.

I stared at the notecard that he had scribbled a question on for a second before nodding my head.

"Yes," I answered.

He beamed at my response.

"Can I?"

I nodded as he took the box.

"I just hope this fits you since you've got a really small wrist"

He set the box on my vanity before unclasping the bracelet.

"So what made you choose this specific bracelet?" I wondered.

It was a charm bracelet.

"I figured, we could add more charms"

His cheeks began to flush up.

"Do you like it? I know you're more of a minimalistic jewelry type of person"

"I like the card more" I admitted.

He smiled.

"Thank you, it's perfect," I said.

I wiggled my hand and turned my wrist so I could take a look at the two charms. One was his initial, a G and the other was...a skate.

"I didn't know they had a skate" I admitted.

"I uh had that made"

I looked away from the charm at him to see his face was pink.

"Thank you, boyfriend," I said.

He giggled, his cheeks flushing up even more.

"You're welcome...girlfriend"

Just as we were about to kiss, Nora barged into the room.
