I WOKE up the next morning thinking about the night before with Ethan—how sweet he was, how he was kind, how he was smart yet not Steven smart. It almost felt too easy with Ethan. He agreed with everything I said, didn't tease me, and just let me do whatever I wanted all night, which was fun but could get repetitive if this was how it would always be. My feet were still exhausted from last night as I stood up and brushed through my hair.
I showered quickly and got ready for the 4th. I slipped on a red tube top paired with my favorite jean shorts and a pair of white heart sunglasses I always wore for the holiday. As I caught my reflection in the mirror, a wave of nostalgia washed over me, reminding me of the countless summers spent at Cousins Beach with my family.
I remembered how I invited Ethan last night to the party. Was I dumb? He was charming and made me laugh, but bringing him around my family felt like a step I wasn't ready for. My family could be overwhelming, especially with the scrutiny they placed on my choices. If Ethan was going to be my escort, I knew I'd have to introduce him to my family at some point, and that thought made my stomach twist. And I hadn't even thought about how Gigi would be there, too. Yikes, this party was going to be eventful.
Before I could overthink it further, I grabbed my phone to check for any messages. There was a text from Ethan.
