Holiday Romance | Ethan Dolan

Chapter 9 - Skate Rat

~ Day 12 ~
~ Thursday ~

ETHAN'S POV:

I had a really bad dream last night. I dreamt that Bella had to leave early and I never even got to say goodbye to her. The worst thing was that I thought it was real, until I saw some messages from her when I woke up.

My feelings for her were growing everyday. Everytime I talked to her. Everytime I saw her. Everytime I thought about her. I couldn't help it. It was actually annoying that I wasn't in control of it.

Today, me and Grayson were going to teach her how to skate on a longboard. The reason for this was because of when we were walking back to the hotel yesterday. After Bella and Asher's rescue mission. Asher was teasing Bella that she had no balance, so now she is determined to learn how to skate.

I put on some black skinny jeans and a black top. After I was fully clothed, I went into the kitchen to have some ceral with Grayson.

"So, am I going to meet Sophie soon?" I hinted.

"E, we're just friends." He said, avoiding eye contact.

"Sure, why do you get all awkward when I bring her up then?" I smirk.

"I do not." Grayson said as he threw a cheerio at me.

BELLA'S POV:

Today, I decided to tie my hair into a messy bun. I slipped on my black high waisted shorts and put on my maroon, slightly cropped top. I was excited to spend some time with the twins, I found it even more exciting than learning to skate.

As I just finished applying my daily makeup, there was a knock at the door. I quickly opened it to reveal Devon. He smiled at me sweetly.

"Hi Bella. Is Ash here?" He looked behind me.

"Yeah he's just showering. You can wait inside if you want." I stood aside to let him in.

"Thanks." He mumbled as he walked past me and sat down on the sofa.

I put on my dark red trainers that were by the door. I could feel Devon watching me.

"Going anywhere exciting?" He asked.

"The twins are going to teach me how to skate." I informed him.

"On a board?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah." I said confidently.

"Good luck." He scoffed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I cross my arms.

"I'm just wishing you luck, you don't have to give me that look." Devon laughed at my facial expression.

"Well thanks for the luck but I don't need it." I smirked, feeling a bit over confident.

"Oh, by the way you look really cute when you pretend to be mad." He looked at me up and down.

"Uh thank you." I said awkwardly, avoiding eye contact.

"I wanted to ask you, are you busy tomorrow night? We could do something." Devon stood up and walked towards me. I wasn't sure if he was asking me on a date or if he meant going as just friends.

"What, as friends?" I tried to clarify.

"Well, more of a date than just as friends." Devon shrugged.

"I have a boyfriend Devon." I said, feeling bad as I rejected him.

"What? Who?" Devon frowned.

"Ethan." I rubbed my lips together, feeling awkward.
