Take Him Back

8.

Dessert by Dawin - Just a little steamy chapter but not smut haha this is romance and comedy in one chapter!  Enjoy!

We drive into the driveway to his house and I park the car but we stay inside. 

"So this is it." Ethan says dramatically.

"Yep, our last journey together." I say playing along.

"For the night." he laughs looking at me.

"Of course!  We'll have many journeys together later on." I say.

It's quiet but not an uncomfortable silence filled the air. It was peaceful. But when I looked at Ethan, part of me just wanted to grab his face and plant a big kiss on his lips. Then part of me just wanted to hug him tightly and thank him for helping me get through this. I looked away for a second and when I turned back to his face,  he kissed me hard. Not hard and heartless like Hunter, but passionately.

I have to admit, we did makeout in the car. With the arm rest between us. It felt good though, relaxing.  He got out of the car with his hair everywhere because I ran my hand through his hair. At the end, we laughed. It's like every time we kiss, we laugh.

On the way home, I see a person walking around the neighborhood stumbling on their feet. It was Jennifer. Drunk Jennifer who happened to be here. She probably went out drinking with that Matt guy. I honk the horn and she turns around looking terrified. I lower the window and wave at her.

"Jennifer! It's me, Maya. Get in the car." I say driving closer to her.

"Oh thank god." She says and runs to me. She opens the door and hops in.

"What are you doing out here drunk and alone?" I ask her. Jennifer's clothes are wrinkled and look like they just got put on.

"Matt and I decided to stay at his house while his parents were out of town." she giggles.

"You drank." I say rolling my eyes.

"Yeah but not a lot." she sighs.

"I can smell alcohol from here." I say.

"Whatever. Hey this seat is warm. Was somebody here before me?" Jennifer asks.

"Brandon was." I say leaving out Ethan. I don't want to bring Drunk Jennifer into my love life.

"Okay. I have to confess something." she says.

"Tell me after we get inside." I say and pull into my house.

I help Jennifer into the house and into my room. She lands onto my bed laughing while I run downstairs to get her a bottle of water. When I return, she's in the bathroom with the sink running.

"Hey what are you doing?" I ask her. She ignores me and dunks her head into the sink and quickly whips her head out splashing me with cold water. Jennifer screams and grabs the nearest towel and wraps her hair into it.

"Are you crazy?" I yell.

"I'm less drunk than before. So no, I'm not." She laughs and takes the water bottle out of my hand.

We're in my room watching television and eating chocolate pretzels. She's wearing a red baseball shirt and leggings that she borrowed from me and I'm wearing a navy blue Henley shirt and a pair of shorts. That means she's staying over for the night. 

"Okay so what did you want to tell me?" I ask her.

"Oh right, um. Don't freak out okay?" She says blushing.

"I promise I won't freak out." I say and she takes a deep breath.
