His One and Only

The End...

Ethan kissed my forehead and was helping me lay down when my stomach growled. He chuckled and helped me sit up again.

"I'll bring you something to eat," he was about to turn around when I grabbed his hand.

"C-Can I come d-downstairs to eat?" I asked with hopefulness but I could tell from the look in his eyes that it was a 'no'.

"I'm sorry, Izzy, but I think resting should be your top priority," he was apologising too much, about everything, which made me frown but I nodded.

I didn't think it through before asking. It was almost impossible for me to go down the steps like this, when even moving was difficult.

"I-I know. Then, c-can you ask V-Vanessa to come s-see me?" He smiled and nodded before kissing my forehead and leaving.

After I had eaten, Ethan went to his office for work while Vanessa came over to see me a few minutes later.

"How're you doing, Luna?"

"I-I'm doing good. Wh-What about you?" She came over and sat down on the bed, facing me.

"I'm fine, just worried about you," I reassured her about my health and we fell into a comfortable silence.

"So, a-about the bag-"

"Don't worry, Luna, I didn't tell anyone! Not even Harry!" Her eyes were wide and I knew that this had been stressing her out.

"N-No, no, Vanessa. E-Ethan is alright n-now, so I d-don't need what's i-in the bag a-anymore. I'm sorry for s-stressing you out a-and making you w-worry," I said with a warm smile and inwardly winced.

I didn't like how it sounded, but it was ok. Everything was ok now.

"R-Really? So, I can look what's inside then?" I nodded and she sighed, her shoulders slumping.

"I-I have something else th-that I would l-like you t-to know, as m-my best friend," I proceeded to tell her everything about my aunt. She was an amazing friend, so I wanted to confide in her.

I was working in my office with a resolve like never before. I wanted to make up for all the work I hadn't done and lost track of time.

There was a knock at the door and I told them to come in without looking up.

Ethan's calming scent hit me and I slowed down for a moment, before it motivated me to work harder and faster.

"Izzy, it's 9 pm, work ended two hours ago. You should be back in our room, in my arms. Especially because tomorrow is going to be a stressful day," I looked up and saw him right in front of the desk with a cute pout.

It felt like our positions had switched and I smiled at him. I wasn't going to look as scary as he did. He smiled back and I continued doing what I was doing, just to tease him.

He cleared his throat and I looked up again, trying to control my laughter when I saw his arms crossed. I closed the file which made the corners of his lips twitch up and stood up, stretching.

He came upto me and gathered me in his arms from behind. He kissed my mark and I immediately melted in his arms.

"Let's go," he whispered against my neck and pulled me towards the door, a protective arm around my waist.

When we reached our room, my phone started ringing and I quickly picked it up upon seeing the caller ID.

"L-Leah, are you o-ok? Is everything a-alright?" I said.
