Don't let go

Chapter 4

I looked at the time. 7:00. I clocked out of Taco bell just as my shift ended. Getting out of the back I saw a familiar figure sitting in one of the chairs with his attention drawn to his phone.

Ethan.

He finally looked up to see me standing beside the counter. Then walked up to me with this huge smile on his face. "Thought you'd be done sooner"he said

"You waited?"

" err..um, kind of" I tint of pink made its way to his cheeks.

He looked more adorable than a fudging baby panda.

"How the duck do you know where I work" I thought out loud. Ethan looked down at his feet. "I had a little help" he replied. "So where should we have dinner" He said in an attempt to change the subject. But I just went with it.

"I never said I would have dinner with you" I glared at him.

"Well it's already way past time for lunch so, I know this place that's not far from here." Ethan grabbed my hand and pulled me outside towards the direction of a black Lamborghini.

I don't know much about cars but I'm sure this one must cost more than my apartment and college savings combined. "Get in" he says completely oblivious to my gaping stare."what?" I asked

"I said get in-"

"I herd what you said"I cut him off sliding into the front seat. Just then the engine came alive and we were off.

Some point during the car ride I realized I was in a freacking Lamborghini, with a boy I barley know heading off to some unknown destination.

Guess I could cross that one off my bucket list.

We arrived at a place called Sally's diner and I was immediately filled with warmth pain and regret. This was the place me, my mom, my dad and my brother James would come for dinner almost every weekend and I absolutely loved it. Now it just reminds my of the memories I'll never forget and things that we could never get back.

"Beth?" I was snapped back to reality. "Yea" I looked over at Ethan. "Are you okay?" He asked "if you don't want to stay I could just take you home"

Oh great now he thinks I'm an even bigger freak than I already am. Why do I always have make situations like this for myself?. Finally when someone doesn't look at me in disgust or like there about to hang me on the flagpole I just had to ruin it. Now he's rethinking this whole thing and is regretting ever coming across my existence. I can't blame him though I am regretting my own existence so why won't he?. If only I could be a plant-

"Beth, snap out of it!" I was once again brought reality when Ethan shook my shoulders. "I was asking if you actually want to have dinner with me. Not making you rethink your entire existence"

Oh shit. Did I say that out loud?

"Yes"

This was when I acknowledged our close proximity. Ethan was leaning over the car so his face was only inches from mine. His brown eyes pierced into my green ones as if he could see me. The real, not the girl Thad hides in her grey hoodie but the one that wants to be let out. He was looked at me with so much intensity I felt the need no look away. Then reached out to crease my face with his fingers leaving trails of sparks in its wake.

"You don't need to overthink"Ethan whispers his breath fanning over my lips. They parted in anticipation. His eyes flickered down to my lips.

"I-I think we better get inside" I said sounding out of breath. He pulled away and nodding then got out of the car. Ethan came around to open the door for me.

As we walked into the diner a familiar warmth surrounded me. It was just as I remembered nothing had changed. There were couples in the booths and teenagers Laughing in with groups of friends and a few kids around. Sally's wasn't as crowded as it would have been on a weekend.

A pretty blue eyed waitress made her way over to us. Or to be more specific Ethan.

"Hey, why would someone like you be here all by yourself."she asked twirling a
lock of shinny brown hair around her finger. "Actually, I'm here with someone"

"Oh really, well I don't see anyone" she said looking past me.

He put an arm around my waist drawing me closer to him. "Can we get our tables pleas" Ethan said with a smile on his face but annoyance dripping in his tone. She looked over at me as if noticing I was right next him for the first time. Her eyes dragged across my Outfit juggling me as the seconds passed by. I suddenly became uncomfortable in my ripped jeans grey hoodie and messed up converse.

"Uh, right this way" she said covering up her face with a smile.
