When in London

Meeting Ethan

I froze in place not knowing what to do first. I shuffled around trying not to wake Jenna up. Once I was out of her grasp I went straight to my room.

After I quietly closed the door remembering that Jenna was still sleeping I leaned against it trying to comprehend what just happened. My phone screen was still lit with Austin's unread text message,

it read: 

Hey, it's been a while!! I just wanted to see if you're ok. You left to England with our problems unsolved. Look, I don't want to lose you just please call or text me when you can? Love always, Austin <3

Oh no! What did the heart mean at the end? Unsolved problems? Does he not remember that HE broke up with me??? Does he honestly expect me to just forget everything and run back into his arms?

*The Next Morning*

I tried opening my eyes but they were swollen shut, I guess I must've cried a lot last night because I looked like hell. Once I got up off the floor i tried cleaning myself up even though I know it was no use, I headed off to the kitchen.

I leaned against the door frame with my arms crossed looking at a bubbly Jenna cooking breakfast. Right when I cleared my throat she immediately turned around but then soon relaxed when she realized it was just me. I sat down and within two seconds she arrived at the table with mine and her plate of eggs and bacon.

"You know you don't have to cook breakfast right? Your a guest!" I said impressed with the meal she set in front of me

"Yea whatever! Anyways where were you? I woke this morning and you were gone"

I started to tense up, I didn't wanna lie to Jenna but it looked like I have to

"Um yeah the Couch was a little too small for both of us so I decided to sleep in my room" I said hoping she wouldn't see me hesitating

Luckily, when i looked up to see her reaction she was looking down at her phone.

"Oh okay" she said half paying attention "well listen we're going to a party tonight at 8 okay? I'm going to leave now because I have some errands I have to get done, but I'll pick you up later okay?"

"Sounds like a plan! See you soon" I said while she was halfway out the door

*Later On That Night*

We reached the mansion that the party was being held at, you could tell because you can hear the music playing from down the street. I was wearing dark, skin tight jeans, with a white lace top and gold long earing that matched my heels. It seemed to be a college party because all of them seem to be around mine and Jenna's age. I was walking right beside Jenna afraid of getting lost in the crowd. She greeted every person she passed by. Until one in particular caught my eye, she must've realized because she introduced me to him.

"Lizzie I would like you to meet Ethan!" She said with the biggest smile on her face, we both know what she was trying to do. "Ethan this is Lizzie" she gestured towards me

We shook hands but I couldn't help the fact that I've seen him before. Then suddenly I started to recognize those light blue eyes and that perfect blonde hair...the coffee shop! He was the customer that I couldn't stop staring at! He was the one I showed Marcus! Do you think he remembers me?? Realizing this I quickly let go of his hand, he must of saw me tense up because he had a confused look on his face. That confused look than became a understanding face as he started to look at me more. After a awkward silence he then said,

"Hey aren't you the girl that works at that small coffee shop down the street??"

"Yeah" too embarrassed to look at his face

"I knew I recognized you! Your the American one!" I could hear him smile while he said that

That made me feel better, I don't know why, but it did. After he said that Jenna slowly started backing away pretending I couldn't see her

After he came back with our third round of drinks and said,

"Hey do you wanna go some place quieter so we can talk more?" He was really close when he said this and I could feel his breath on my cheek

He led the way to a quieter room where we sat across from each other on the floor. We spent hours talking, He was so easy to talk to! I felt like he actually cared about what I said and he listened patiently to every word that came out of my mouth.

"So what made you think about moving to England?" He said with curiosity in his light blue eyes

"Umm well I've always wanted to travel the world and I thought after I finished college would be the best time to do it so I kind of chose I random place on the map to go to first"

"That's fascinating" he said, truly amazed by my story "How did you meet Jenna?"

"I live down the hall from her" I nodded towards him "and you?"

"We dated back in college. I was a senior and Jenna was still a junior."

Oh god! Was I really sitting alone in a dark room with Jenna's ex boyfriend???

As soon as Ethan finished that sentence Jenna bursted through the door yelling

"Lizzie we need to go, NOW!"

"Why?? What's wrong?"

My questions were soon answered by the police sirens i heard from the distance I quickly got up and left the house, I hear Ethan's voice yelling after me "It was nice meeting you Lizzie!" But I didn't have enough time to answer because i was too busy trying to find Jenna's car through the crowd of people running.

We arrive home and I say my farewells to Jenna.
