ISA POINT OF VIEW
We are in the living room both reading our books. Mine is "tale as old as time." Really amazing. It's about how a old man stole something from the beast and how he was meant to be his prisoner for the rest of his life, but his daughter step up and took his place. She hates the palace only longing to be home, but as she spends time with the beast she realizes that the beast isn't that bad. In town though, her father told the townsfolk about how the beast has his daughter and now their rallying up to take down the beast. That's all I'm at so far, but I'm close to the end.

"Ethan, what is it you like to do?" I asked. I am really curious I have a few ideas, but I want to hear it from him. "Ah, besides hanging out with you?" I felt him closer to me. Quickly hiding my blush so he doesn't see it. "You know what I mean."

"Okay, well I like reading, playing with Lucky, and fighting against the Ministry. I thought those were the only things that made me happy until I met you." He explained. What is it with him? Its like he casts a spell on me and I'm completely lost for words. "I'll like to know what you like to do my love?" What is it that I like to do?

Wait did he just call me 'my love?' I like it!

"Well as you said I like hanging out with Lucky. I love to read. I also like to run. Fighting against the Ministry and also training." I can't concentrate. "Ah, not hanging out with me?" He whispered in my ear. I turn to face him to only find out he only inches away from me. "Your okay, I prefer Lucky though." We both started laughing. I tried to sound serious, but I can't. I don't know what it is.

"Well that's too bad because you're stuck with me." He laughed. I lean into his arms and we just stay there for a while.

I haven't notice that I've been staring into his eyes the whole time until I found his eyes on mine. I quickly grab my book and put in front of me, but all I see is blurr lines. I hear Ethan laughing and I couldn't help, but laugh a long.

"It not that funny you know." I say trying to stop laughing. "It's cute and funny." Ethan whispered into my ear.

"Isa I was wondering if you...maybe wanted to um, go out with me tonight?" He's asking me out. How do I respond? What do I say? "Isa?"

"I would love to go out with you." He kisses my forehead, and gets up quickly. "I'm going to prepare, but you can't see anything so you have to stay here, okay?" He asks me out and leaves? Huh, not what I expected. "Okay, I'll be here waiting." He scoops me up into his arms and we just stay there in each others arms.

The worst part is these past few days all I could think about is turning myself in. I only have a week and three days!

"You okay?" Ethan asked, but I feel far from him. "Yeah. Just a bit dizzy. Is it okay if I sleep for a while?" Instead of Ethan responding to me he carries me to my room. He softly puts me on the mattress. "You relax okay. This is going to be the best date you'll ever have!" Why is my head pounding? No, no...

"Confident aren't you?" I smiled up to him trying to hide the pain forming. "Well...yes. Yes I am." He kisses me on the forehead again and leaves.

I immediately get up and sit on the floor gasping for air.

"Miss me?"
"Why can't you just leave me alone. I'm turning myself in!" What's he doing here? Ugh, you have no idea how much I hate you!
"Touché. I need to talk to you something you probably would know. It's about like I don't know the Necklace of the Enchantess?" Snap, he knows. Pretend like you don't know what he talking about!
