It All Started With A Frisbee

Chapter 16

Charlie POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sooo I have something to tell you guys," I say, looking at my three best friends sitting in my room. "What is it?" Dylan asks. "Well Greyson and I are finished," I say, looking down. "Oh my gosh! Why?" Ryan asks. "He's dating Sadie Brown now," I answer. "Ooooh I'm gonna kill her!" Peyton says, making a fist. "No guys, it's fine. I'm already dating someone else," I say. "Who?" All three ask at the same time. "Ethan," I answer quietly. And of course Dylan can hear what I said. "Oh my gosh! You and Ethan?" She yells. "Yeah...," I say quietly. "That's awesome!" Ryan says, hugging me. "You guys aren't mad?" I ask. "Why would we be mad?" Peyton asks. "Because Ethan broke up me and Greyson that one time," I answer. "We're over that," Dylan says, smiling. "You guys are the best," I say, smiling. "We know," they all answer at the same time. Suddenly, I feel my phone vibrate. It's a text from Ethan.

Ethan: I had fun swimming with you yesterday... even tho it was freezing lol

Me: I had fun too. Let's do it again some time.

"Ooooh who's that?" Dylan asks. "Ethan," I answer. "Y'all went swimming? It's like freezing outside," she says, looking over my shoulder at the texts. "They probably went skinny dipping," Ryan says, laughing. "We did not go skinny dipping. And I told him I didn't want to go swimming but he picked me up and threw me in the pool," I say. "Then what happened?" Peyton asks. "Do I have to tell you guys everything that happened?" I ask, laughing. "Yes!" All three answer. "Fine" I say, sitting down. "Well, after he threw me in the pool, he pulled me under water and then helped me get out of the pool. Once we were inside, he started changing his clothes but I didn't have anything to change int-" "Wait. Did you just stay naked?" Dylan asks as her eyes grow bigger. "No I did not just stay naked! He went to get some clothes from his mom. Anyway. After I changed, we watched tv for a while then we started watching a movie. We laid down on the couch to be more comfortable." "Oooh so you could get more 'comfortable'," Ryan says, making air quotes when she says the word comfortable. "Shut up," I say jokingly. She just laughs. "Anyway. We laid down and he put his arm around my waist so I wouldn't 'fall off the couch'." "Did you do that thing where lift up your shirt a little bit?" Dylan asks. "Yes. But only because it's a habit so I couldn't help it. So when I did that, he put his hand on my stomach and we fell asleep." "Does he sleep without a shirt on?" Ryan asks, raising her eyebrows. "Yes, yes he does. So when I wake up, he's still asleep with his hand on my stomach. When he starts to wake up, I pretend to be sleeping and he kisses me to wake me up," I finish. "So he does sleep shirtless?" Ryan asks again. "Yes Ryan, he sleeps shirtless," I answer to her. She answers by raising an eyebrow and smirking. I can't help but laugh at her.

The next day at school, it's boring as usual. The only good thing was that I got to see Ethan. Dylan wasn't at school because she was sick so our group was quiet today.

As I'm going to put my books in my locker at the end of the day, the only thing on my mind is my bed. When I open my locker, a note falls out. It says:

Dear Charlie,

Meet me after school at the baseball field for a surprise.

Love, E.S.

Of course, today of all days, Ethan would want me to stay after school. I shove the note in my pocket and finish at my locker. I run and tell Nico that I'm staying late and that he can go home.

As I'm walking to the baseball field, I'm happy that I wore just yoga pants with one of Ethan's hoodies and Uggs because it's pretty cold outside for the beginning of January. When I get to the field, I see that the baseball team is practicing to get ready for when the season starts. I spot Ethan sitting in the bleachers with some of his friends. As I walk up the bleachers to get to them, I notice Ethan's friends looking at me. Since all of them are looking, Ethan turns to see what they were looking at. A smile spreads across his face when he sees me. "Hey Charlie," he says, kissing my cheek. One of his friends lets out a whistle. I look at Ethan and feel myself start blushing when I see that he is also blushing. "Aww look how cute. They're both blushing," his friend with dirty blonde hair says. "Shut up, Logan," Ethan says, laughing. "Hey! You four get on this field! Now!" A deep voice yells. We all look and see that it's the coach, Coach Carlson. As the four boys around me stand up, Ethan kisses me before running after his friends. So I'm alone. Sitting at the baseball field and I don't even know why. I could leave right now. But I know I can't when Ethan looks up at me and yells, "this is for you!", as he steps up to home plate, bat in hand. Logan pitches to him and he literally hits it out of the park. Like it actually went out of the park. Well that was impressive. I just sit there, impressed. After a few minutes more of practice, Ethan and the same three friends come back up to the bleachers. "Hey Charlie, you look pretty hot in those yoga pants," one of Ethan's friends tell me, winking. "Hey now! This is my property. No trespassing," Ethan says, motioning toward me. "Excuse me?" I ask. "See, she wants me to trespass," Ethan's friend says, winking at me. "No I do not. I would never let such a disgusting creature ever trespass me," I snap back. "Charlie, are you cold?" Ethan asks. "No she's hot," Ethan's friend answers for me. "Shut up," I say, looking at his friend. "And yes, I'm freezing," I answer Ethan. "I knew it. You always get feisty when you're cold," Ethan says. "I do not," I say back. Ethan just smiles in response. "Stop that," I say, playfully hitting Ethan's chest. "Stop what?" He asks. "Smiling like that," I answer. "Why?" He asks, smiling more. "Because. Your just so cute it makes me just wanna kiss you," I answer. I notice his eyes get a little wider. "Ooooooooh! Guys maybe we should leave. It might get a little hot up here," Logan says to the other two guys. "Nah. I wanna stay for this," the one with red hair says, speaking up for the first time. Ethan leans in to whisper in my ear. "I can make them leave if you want." I think about my answer for a few seconds. "If they want a show, let's give them a show," I whisper back, smirking. "A show...?" Ethan whispers, smirking. "Not like that," I say, hitting his chest. "Just kissing," I whisper back. "What are you guys talking about?" Red head asks. "Oh nothing," I answer, smiling. Suddenly, Ethan moves me back a little bit so my back is up against a wall. He grabs my face and starts just kisses me lightly. I kiss back, deepening the kiss. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me onto his lap. I run my hands through his hair as he does the same to me. I can hear Ethan's friends hollering things like "Getchu some Ethan!" Or "C'mon Ethan, it's my turn!" Ethan pulls away for a second and touches his forehead to mine and whispers, "They are so stupid." I answer with a small laugh. Then I press my lips to his and continue the kiss. He eagerly kisses back as his friends move down closer to us. The red head pushes Ethan away from me, trying to have his "turn" with me. As he sits in front of me, I look at Ethan. "Well Charlie, do what you want. You can either give him what he wants or turn the poor guy down," Ethan says, shrugging. "Well, if I kiss him then I have to kiss all of them," I say pointing to his friends. "Yeah, that's true," Ethan says, scratching his neck. "I don't think their girlfriends would appreciate that," I say to Ethan. "Oh we don't have girlfriends," Red Head tells me. I look at Ethan. "What should I do?" I ask him. "Just kiss them and get it over with. I'm not the jealous type," he says, winking. I look at the boy sitting in front of me. He has red hair, obviously, and brown eyes that are staring at me intently. "Are you gonna kiss me or not?" He asks, getting impatient. I lean in and give him a small kiss on the lips. The look on his face is priceless. He leans in, wanting more, but I put my hand between our faces. Logan pushes him out of the way and sits in front of me. I sigh and give him a quick kiss. Then the one with the dark hair that was hitting on me sits in front of me. I'm reluctant to kiss him but I know I have to kiss him because I'm a fair person. I lean and give him a quick kiss but before I can lean back, he grabs my head and keeps kisses me. I struggle to get away as Ethan is trying to pull him away. Eventually, Ethan gets him off of me. And that kiss was almost as long as the kiss Ethan and I shared just minutes ago. "Dude, what the heck?" Ethan asks, pulling me close to him. "You said you weren't the jealous type," his friend answers, shrugging. Before Ethan can say anything, I step in. "You weren't doing it right anyway. This is how you do it," I say as I pull Ethan to me and press my lips to his, kissing him for a solid 20 seconds. When I look at him, he is obviously lovestruck. Ethan's friends sit there, shocked. "C'mon Ethan. We should go home," I say, pulling him forward. "Bye guys," he says as we walk away.

As we are walking home, I get tired so I jump on Ethan's back. He holds onto my thighs so I don't fall off of his back. When we get to my house, he squeezes my thighs before putting me down. As I'm walking to my front door, he grabs my hand, spins me around and kisses me for a while then let's me go. "Bye Charlie," he says. "Bye Ethan," I answer, smiling.
