Chapter 27

[Marie's POV]

My mind is foggy as I wake from a dream filled with dancing zombies and a T-Rex trying to clap. Poor little guy couldn't even reach.

Slowly, I sit up in my bed and look around -Wait...

This isn't my room. Or my bed.

Like a bad chick flick on crack, the moments from last night play out in my mind. Me walking into his office after class. Ethan saying something rude, me snapping at him. Him kissing me, me kissing him back.

He must've brought me to his house after...

Ugh I'm such an idiot. Sleeping with an engaged man? I mean, after I knew he was engaged. What was I thinking?

Gran would be so proud. According to my Grandma, Gran, sleeping with an engaged man is prohibiting those black women who are respect themselves enough to "close their legs" the chance of finding any real love without receiving the title as a hoe.

So, basically I'm a hoe who adds to the number of ratchet disrespectful bitches out there. I internally wince at the thought.

"How'd you sleep?" Ethan asks ascending the stairs, breaking me from my thoughts.

I narrow my eyes, "Why'd you bring me here? And why am in your bed? And why am I in one of your shirts?"

Ethan walks closer to the bed with his hands in his sweat pant pockets. I try to ignore how incredibly sexy his chill demeanor is ugh the now. Instead I focus on the anger I feel towards him. Or at least what I should be feeling towards him anyway. "I brought you home after..." He trails off, confirming my suspicions.

My heart does a little flip at his use of 'home' but quickly dismiss it, "Why?"

He raises a thick dirty blonde eyebrow, "Would you rather I set you on a bench outside your dorm hall? Or better yet, maybe I should've set you in front of your door."

"No need to be a ass, I was just asking." It's completely silent after that. It's actually really uncomfortable. "Okay, well are we gonna talk about what happened or just sit here?"

He doesn't answer right away. Ethan's lips quirk up in a way that makes me think he's fighting back a smile. I can feel my frustration growing with each moment that ticks by while he stares at me. "Ethan-"

"I can't tell you anything about the engagement." He says with finality.

I stand up, but immediately regret it when I become dizzy. "Woah."

Ethan shoots up from his corner of the bed and takes two large steps towards me. He grips my arm to steady me but I snatch my limb away. "Don't touch me." I spit, discreetly rubbing where he touched because of the tingles still residing there.

I can stare up into his deep green eyes for only a moment before looking away, ashamed.

There's more silence, but I refuse to break it this time.

For what seems like forever, Ethan speaks up. "I didn't mean for you to find out that way." When I open my mouth to yell at him, he speaks, "And before you say or do anything, I want to say that everything isn't what it seems. This engagement," he pauses and I wait, "it's not what you think it is."

"What's that supposed to mean, Ethan?" I ask, taking a tiny step back.

He watches me move away from him and he looks down, hurt. "What happened in the office happened because nothing between us has changed. I still love you."

I know he's avoiding my question, so I let him get away with it, only because I want to talk about this more. "What happened in the office should've never happened."

"But it did." He retorts.

"Yes, and it will never happen again."

A dark, intrigued look crosses Ethan's features, "No?"

"No." I affirm, taking another small step back. The more space the better.

"Then why are you sweating? Are you nervous?" Ethan asks tauntingly.

What the hell is this? A scene out of twilight? I don't see any sparkling people so I guess not.

"Snap out of your horny mind and listen to me," I step up all in his face, remaining eye contact, "I wasn't in my right mind back then but I am right now. So when I say it's never gonna happen it's never gonna happen. Why? Because you're engaged douchetard. I don't care how complicated it is, your going to get married to another women who isn't me. Sounds pretty simple to me. So if you'll excuse me," I quickly step around him and speed walk down the steps of the stairs.

Just as I'm about to reach the bottom, Ethan calls for me from over the banister, "What?" I snap, so irritated I need another nap.

"Good luck getting back with no car."

"I'll walk." I roll my eyes, continuing on my path to the front door.

"In only shirt!"

"And?" I yell behind me. As I walk down the hall, I look out the window from afar. The dreary weather looks kind of...well dreary, all well. I'll steal one of his umbrellas and return it next class or something.

"In the snow." He says smugly, turning the corner and walking down the short hall. He leans his shoulder on the wall with his arms crossed over his broad chest.

I roll my eyes. "It's not snowing. And even if it was, I don't care. There's no way in heaven that I'm staying here with you."

Ethan's bored expression only irritates me more as he shrugs and descends back down the hall, "Whatever. Don't say I didn't worn you."

I narrow my eyes, glaring daggers at the back of his head as I slip one of his coats on. After I button up the coat I slip on his Timberlands.

What? I'll give them back...some time.

I shrug and place the hood of the coat over my head before opening the door. As I look out, it's a little windy and there's a light snow fall but it's nothing too bad.

This shouldn't be hard at all.

Right?
