Two-sided

Chapter 14: large words and kind hearts

He grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a white Lamborghini.

My eyes were wide. I quickly shook my head in disbelief. "you like it?" He asked opening my door.
I was too shocked to speak, I simply plopped down.

He went over to the other side and got in the drivers seat. "so why don't we start with breakfast?" He smiled before starting the expensive car.

I was in too much shock to say anything the whole ride there. Once we stopped at a restaurant he opened my door and led me to the doors.

There was a rather mean looking woman at the desk. A family stood there requesting a table, next thing I knew I heard her say "We do not serve anyone without a reservation! You are neither a member and after this fiasco No one will want you as a member!"

I wrapped myself around Ethan in fear "You okay?" He laughed and held me tighter. "oh um sorry I didn't mean to--" I was a bit embarrassed to act like this in front of a fan.

"It's fine, Gina can be a bit harsh. But she's really a big sweetheart." he took my hand and we walked towards the desk.

"Gina!" Ethan said happily. "Oh Ethan! Look at how much you've grown!" She squeezed him. I held back a laugh. Then Gina released him giving me a glare.

"And who is this little skimpy? Listen little girl you're gonna have to wait in the back of the line!"

"Gina!" Ethan said raising his voice higher. Ethan wrapped his arm around me. "This is my guest! She's an important part of my life." I raised a brow.

"I would like you to apologize!" He demanded. She grunted then said "I'm sorry madam. Please accepted my most humble apology." before I could speak Ethan escorted me to a table.

I sat across from him and picked up the menu. He hadn't picked his up, and I felt like someone was staring at me.

I lowered the menu and saw him dazed. I smiled nervously "Ethan?" I said. "Please excuse my browsing, I just never though I would be in the very presence of such an eloquent woman such as yourself."

I put down the menu completely. I cleared my throat. "well if we are going to continue with such a fascinating talk such as this. Then break out the thesaurus and let us begin speaking in elegant tongues." he chuckled.

"Let the sparing of words begin." I smiled.

*3 hours later*

We were laughing far too loud. "you can not be serious!" He laughed "Im more serious than the plague!" I laughed "I really did get my foot stuck in a tv. That video was no hoax." I laughed.

"You're a truly intelligent, and witty human being aren't you?" He smiled. I blushed. He reached for my hand. When I felt his touch it felt to warm, inviting, so safe.

"Well look at the time. We should get going if we want to make this a memorable day." I grabbed my purse and Ethan stood up.

"I will get the tab." he smiled and kissed my cheek and went to the desk. I saw a waitress a younger than I coming to clean up our table.

I was about to leave and let her clean up our mess. I turned around and saw her apron was a mess, her ponytail was coming undone.

She seemed like she had a rather tough day. "hey let me help you." I said grabbing a couple plates from her hands. She looked up at me. "You're... You're YOURE MY FAVORITE YOUTUBER!" She smiled.

I set down the plates and gave her a hug. She squeezed me rather tight. I smiled until I realized she was crying. I pulled her away and gripped her shoulders as I looked into her eyes.

"Sweetie what's the matter?" I asked. "Is just, u wanted to come and see you at your show but I didn't have enough money. I don't have a laptop or internet back home so I watch your videos whenever the chef of the restaurant brings his laptop." I sat her down.

"I've been working here for about three years. I live in a foster home since my parents died..." my eyes grew wide. "You make me smile everytime I watch your videos... And I never thought I'd actually meet you." she smiled and wiped tears.

I stood up and hugged her. "Sweetheart? We gotta go." it was Ethan. "oh Um okay." I looked over at the girl. "Listen sweetie take this ticket and when you get off work tomorrow come to the show." I handed her a VIP ticket.

"Are you for real?" She asked as her eyes brimmed with tears. "Yes, I'll see you there right?" I smiled. She nodded and hugged me.

"I'll see you later okay?" I said as I left with Ethan "you will!!" She yelled with a smile.

As Ethan and I got in the car he leaned over and kissed my cheek. My eyes grew wide. "My sisters are rather big fans of you as well, why don't we swing by my parents house." he smiled

All I could think was 'did he just kiss me?'
