You Can't Stop Love (BOOK1)

Chapter 16 - This really is illegal✔

I slowly fluttered my eyes open and tried to adjust to the light beaming out from Ethan's window and blinked a couple of times.

Once my eye sight wasn't blurry anymore, I looked over to my left and saw that Ethan wasn't in bed with me.

I pouted to myself and pushed the covers off my naked body and slowly got out from bed. Shit, my legs and thighs are so sore.

I limped and walked to Ethan's dresser and took one of his pj shirts out. Luckily, it was huge for me.

My panties were no where to be seen and I had to go downstairs in just his shirt. I slowly put it on and checked if my ass was showing, at least it was covered.

I opened his door and limped down the corridor and stairs. The house seemed too quite.

Once I was on the main floor, I saw his phone on the dining table and walked to the living room. I heard snoring and chuckled by myself when I was greeted with the sight of Ethan, fast asleep on his couch wearing another pair of Calvin Klein boxers.

"Ethan," I whispered to him while walking around his couch and sitting on the arm rester.

'Uh?" He groaned then yawned. I chuckled once again when he opened his eyes and groaned because of the sunlight. I slowly got up and closed the curtains for him.

"What time is it?" He asked me before trying to find his phone. I walked out of the living room and walked to the kitchen for his phone.

"11:15 AM!" I yelled. I heard him mutter an 'ok' before I walked back in the living room.

I sat down properly on the couch while he was rubbing his eyes and looking directly at the TV. I handed him his phone and he checked his messages.

"Oh, so Marcus really did message me saying that he will come in the morning," He said angrily and dropped his phone on the coffee table and looked at me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"The reason you didn't wake up with me by your side is because Marcus came over in the morning cause he had to tell me something important, and I ran down the stairs naked, but luckily I grabbed one of the pillows and covered up. I thought it was the postman , but no it was Marcus and his daughter,"

My eyes widened but then I started to laugh. "I didn't know he had a daughter," I said between laughs. God knows how she looked at her Uncle with just a pillow.

"Yeah, she's four years old," He said and smiled by the thought of talking about his niece.

We stayed quiet for a bit and I just spoke to myself in my head. I've never asked him. Where is his father?

"Ethan," I said, breaking the silence. He looked at me and smiled, then placed his left hand on my right lap, making me melt.

"Yes Jenni?" He asked me in such a fucking sexy tone and wanted him to just have me again.

I took a deep breath. "How come you've never spoken about your dad?" I asked him calmly and he took a deep breath and I saw him clench his jaw.

"My dad is a dick. He left my mom when she needed him most," He stopped, trying to adjust talking about his dad.

After a few mere seconds, he spoke up again. "My dad used my mom for sex and when he was angry. He was an alcoholic," He stopped again then continued.

"Only me and Marcus were planned, Zara wasn't. Me and Marcus had a pretty roughed up and shitty childhood. Even though I was the youngest, I took care of Marcus and mom the most. When she got hit, which had become rare for her, Marcus locked himself in our room while I soothed her and tried to make her happy," I could see the tears brim in his eyes and my heart broke for him.
