Twisted

Chapter 17:Ethan

Amber's POV

That afternoon with Ethan was great. Got my mind off things and finally relaxed somehow. It was infuriating having thoughts on that ex-best friend,so I decided to visit my new beginning-Ethan. And to tell you again,it was really great.

We just lounged on his living room,watched movies and cuddled. But when Ethan fell asleep,a memory just ripped out on my mind. A memory of me and Blake cuddling,watching movies and saying 'I love you's' to each other. I got teary-eyed at the thought. I was glad that Ethan was deeply asleep in my lap,so that he couldn't see my sad tears dripping down.

It was sad to think that Blake left me like that. And for me to think that we'd somehow get back together,but this is what happened. Fate really is sometimes bone-crushing. Yes I admit that I still love him and no one can ever replace the love he made me feel,but I got to move on. Everything happened and I can do nothing about it. He was my everything,but that's it. Past tense-was. If I could just turn back time,I would've never broke up with him,I would've just let him explain and make things okay,but as the stupid version of me surfaced, I broke up with him.

As much as I want to forget that memory the moment Ethan woke up,it just couldn't go away. Until he seemed to realize that something got my mood down. He asked why I'm frowning and deep in thought,but I answered him with nothing. He seemed to be disappointed with my answer but I just couldn't bear to share my memories with Blake yet. And with just one look,he understood that it was something deep,and too hard to discuss. So he just let me be. He tried to cheer me up,but nothing happened, I tried to smile but I couldn't bear myself doing it. I just couldn't.
The best way I got to make him feel reassured,is to hug him and say sweet things to reassure that I'm okay. And it worked. Through out the day,we just cuddled and played 20 questions and then cuddled again. Neither of us went to school,we just enjoyed each other's company.

I guess I fell asleep again in Ethan's house,but the different part is that we're on the couch not his bed like the last time.

I was on top of him,his arm loosely draped over my waist and his head nuzzled into my neck,breathing in my scent. Gosh! What if I smell gross? I got to get up,and brush my teeth,so I could get at least a better scent in my mouth.

I tried to get off him,but his arm tightened beneath my action. I looked at him if he was awake,but he wasn't, he's still out like a light. I gazed at him. He was really something I couldn't put a finger on,but I hope he's someone who'll be with me not for the looks I've got but the whole package I'm bringing. Hope that he's you're prince charming Amber.

He stirred awake,slowly opened his eyes, after gazing-or is it staring- at me,he smiled. His All-American-Boy smile,showing off his pearly whites,and dimples showing.

"What are you smiling at?" I asked,equally smiling.
"You." He said then continued to nuzzle his head on my neck.
"Uhuh,don't I smell gross,you keep doing that to my neck." I said.
"Nope,you smell incredible. Like pancakes and strawberries and vanilla." He said while his words are mumbled by his current position.
"That's a weird combination." I said disgustingly.
"Yep,but its unique. Like you." He said sweetly while lifting up his head from my neck to gaze at me.
"Aww."I smiled then kissed his cheek.

I caught a small tint in his cheeks. HE'S BLUSHING!!!! Hahahah I made him blush.

"Aww,is little Ethan blushing because I kissed his cheek?" I said in a baby voice while reaching out to pinch his cheeks.
He slapped my hands away and said,"No."
"Uhuh." I said. Not believing him.
"Don't believe me?" He asked.
"Hmm." I hummed jokingly trying to think.
"Hmm,that's how its supposed to be huh?" He asked. And before I could answer,he tickled me.

"STOP!!!!" I shouted while laughing.
"Then apologize for the things you said earlier." He said.
I scrunched up my nose and mumbled." You say it like you're my dad."
"Well I can be,cause your my princess." He said while staring at my blue orbs. Now it's my time to blush.
"Now whose the one blushing now?" He said while nuzzling his head onto my neck.
"Stop now,and get a bath!" I jokingly shouted.
"Okay princess,wait for me and I'll bring you back home okay?" He asked.
"Okay." I answered.
Then he kissed me. The toe-curling,inside-melting type of kiss.

I surely hope he's really worth my time,and decision in having him in my life.
