CHAPTER 9

Scarlet's P.O.V

"Ethan? What are you doing here?" I asked, completely caught off guard with seeing him here, which is weird considering it's his house.

He just stared at me for a few seconds looking just as stunned to see me here. It was like he had never seen me at Taylor's house, er his house before.

Then I realized why he was staring at me so strangely. I remembered the way I had run off that day in school, and I blushed, thinking of the kiss. This was beyond awkward.

Ethan leaned on the door-frame. I glanced at him. He was sweating slightly(he must have ran down here) and was wearing slightly ripped jeans with a white crew neck T-Shirt. In all, he looked hot. He gave me a sexy-smirk.

"Are you done checking me out?"he smirked.

I groaned. Oh no, this was going to be a long night.

"Oh, and I live here remember?" he continued.

I rolled my eyes and pushed past him.

He stared at me, amused watching me shove past him.

"Um, what are you doing?"he asked.

"Where's Taylor?" I asked him.

"Didn't she tell you?"

"No, what?" I asked, confused.

"She's not here." he replied. 

He casually sank down into the plush, green couch and threw his arm across the arm of the couch. 

"What? Where is she?" groaned as I sank down on the couch next to him. 

"Out with Luke,"he said.

"What??" I asked, throwing my arms in the air in exasperation. 

"I said..she's out with Luke." He reapeated.

I groaned.

This was so messed up. I was mad, no angry. This was supposed to our special sleepover. She promised she'd be here. And she was with Luke. Again. Crap him.

Perfect. Note the sarcasm.

"Wait, why are you here?" I asked.

"It's my house."

I groaned. "Yeah, I know that, but Taylor said you were hanging out with your friends." I said to him.

"Taylor doesn't know everything. I'm not going anywhere." He replied.

"Well, I guess I'd better go," I said, picking up my yellow duffel bag.

"Wait," Ethan said getting up from the couch and walking closer to me.

I froze.

"Yeah?"

"You can-uh- stay if you want, I mean..." He stammered. I was shocked. Partly because he had just asked me to stay, and partly because he was stammering. 

In the 13 years that I'd known him, I'd never, ever heard him stammer. Ethan Holten was not the guy that got nervous around girls. That was the thing that Taylor and him both had in common.

Anyway, I stared at him like he was crazy.

"Um, why?" I questioned. He walked closer to me and leaned in close.

"So we can finish what we started," he whispered in my ear.

"What??" I put a hand on his chest to tell him to back off.

He sighed and sat back down on the couch.

"Why won't you kiss me?" He asked, sounding completely confused.

"Because your Taylor's brother," I explained as if it was the perfect, logical explanation.

"So?"

I shook my head. "So, I thought you only liked me as a little sister, and besides, Taylor would flip if she found out!"

She really would. I can just imagine the horrified look on her face if I told her that Ethan and I were a couple. Oh gosh.

"Yeah, but Taylor's not the boss of you." He said.

I just shook my head.

"Fine. He said, getting up and walking back towards me. He was taller than me, so I had to look up to see his deep blue eyes shining with sincerity. "Look at me and tell me you have no feelings for me." He continued.

"I-" I couldn't do it, No matter how much I tried to convince myself- and him- that I didn't like him, I knew that I did.

"Say something." He commanded.

Instead of replying, I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed him gently.

At first he seemed taken aback, as if he wasn't expecting that, but after a second, he pulled me closer to him and kissed me back. I could feel fireworks explode inside of me as his warm, soft lips pressed on mine.

He wrapped and arm around me and lifted me up as easily as anything. He led me to the couch and we kept kissing.

We stopped for a minute and looked at each other.

"You can't tell Taylor about this" I begged him.

"Ok, I promise." He agreed. Easier than I would have expected him to.

We leaned in and kissed again, and just then, I saw two people walk into the living room, while Ethan and I were kissing!

I looked up in shock to see who it was.

Taylor and Luke.
