Julio's P.O.V.

Ethan was the person that bottle chose and he was the one that I was caught looking at unsure of what to do. If we kiss now, how would everyone look at us? Would they see me differently and wouldn't want to hang out with me anymore? But then I thought about Miguel. I know he told me that everything between him and Ethan was never going to happen again but I couldn't bring myself to believe that.

Finally I made a decision. I stepped closer to Ethan and I couldn't help but notice his body tense up. He was leaning his weight on his right arm which was holding him up. It was as if every sound around us went away leaving us in silence. I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest and I feel like Ethan could hear it too.

I decided to just give him a quick kiss on the cheek and be done with it. The game went on after that like nothing happened and I was thankful for that. We played two more rounds of spin the bottle and I decided to spend those rounds taking shots. It was safe to say that I hated this game and whoever created it. The group had eventually scattered out around the house after the last round but for some reason, I stayed back in the kitchen with Ethan.

I looked over at him after we finished playing Spin the bottle and watched him take his shot in one go. He leaned against the island counter not giving me any attention, that was until I was about to walk away and he grabbed my wrist. I opened my mouth ready to speak but he beat me to it.

"Are you done thinking about what I asked you in the library?" he asked, letting go of my wrist.

I raised my eyebrow. "That offer still stands?" I questioned then couldn't help but grin when I saw him grin as well.

"I don't want to fail my class," Ethan replied.

"And that's going to be my fault?"

"It will be if you don't give me an answer."

I crossed my arms in front of my chest pretending to think and when he let out a laugh that's when I gave him my answer.

"When and where?"

Third P.O.V

After Julio's class was over he went straight back to his dorm room where Ethan was waiting. Julio slipped off his shoes then dropped his backpack by the door before walking into the kitchen to make him a glass of water. He wasn't fully sure why he was feeling nervous when all they were going to do was take pictures for Ethan's project.

"Hey," Ethan spoke from the hallway where he was leaning against the wall. "You ready?"

"Can I finish my water?" Julio questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Remember what I said," Ethan added, pushing himself off the wall. "If I fail it's on you."

"Yeah I still don't get why you chose me as your "memory" for your third year," Julio wondered then finished the last bit of his water.

"Are you done complaining?" Ethan asked but walked away before Julio could give him an answer.

Julio only rolled his eyes before following Ethan down the hallway right into his room. "This is where you want to be?" Julio asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yup," Ethan sighed, grabbing his camera out of his bag. He stood up and then met Julio's eyes. "Are you ready?"

Julio shrugged his shoulders and stepped more into his room, sitting at the edge of his bed.

NSFW

Ethan instructed Julio to pretend like he was reading a book then he did another pretending like he was studying. He took a few more pictures in the kitchen of Julio making a cup of coffee which he actually drank the whole cup and then a few more of Julio sitting on the couch with the remote in his hand. After taking several shots in the living room, the two of them went back to Julio's room so Ethan could look at the photos he had taken.
