PINING OVER PORTWELL - Tumblr Posts

definitely not over the portwell kiss

probably one of the main reasons why i love portwell and think they will stay together for the long run is because they have the ability to acknowledge the other's worth.

in the first season, both ej and gina were constantly second choices, ej with nini and gina with ricky. even if it wasn't totally obvious, they seemed to be in second place to someone else. nini was still not fully over ricky, causing ej to hurt, and ricky was not fully over nini, causing gina to hurt.

even in something as trivial as the improv exercise, ej asked gina because he genuinely wanted to, not because someone wasn't there. he gave her compliments and made her feel like the only girl in the world. he wanted her to open up and talk about her experiences. when ej brought his concerns to gina, she gave him advice, care, and attention.

it's so important that gina wanted ej to be her first kiss because that is something so monumental and requires total faith in the other person. he wasn't stuck in second place anymore. standing in front of him was a girl who trusted him, loved him, and wanted to be with him.

in the airport scene with jack, gina mentioned that she wanted to get her first kiss once she found the right guy who would show up and stay around. throughout the entire season, ej proved just that. from picking her up at the airport to asking her out, he showed her that she is worth so much and was always there for her when she needed him.

so yes, the finale ended in the best way possible and i love that they have such a strong underlying connection between them.
