Chapter 5

(This is a 3 month skip, they started the residency in September)

I woke to the sound of my phone ringing through my head as loud as a hammer. Lazily, I answered the phone without even checking who it was.
"Hello?" I asked sleepily.
"Scarlet!! It's December 1st!! Guess what that means?" Ethan's recognizable voice boomed through the phone. How can one be so energetic in the morning?
"I have no idea what that means." I rolled my eyes even though he can't see me.
    "It's my birth month! We are going out for drinks tonight to celebrate." He stated, without even asking if I was free. In these past 3 months, Ethan has become my best friend. I can talk to him about anything. But damn, we are the complete opposite. I didn't even tell him my birthday because I hate it.
    "Alright, but a birth month is not a thing that you celebrate loser" I laughed and hung up.

   After a long day of work, I rushed into the house so that I could start getting ready to get drinks with Ethan. I don't know why but I actually want to impress him tonight..
   I threw on a short black dress with white high top converse. (Image above) I straightened my hair and applied make up, hoping for the best. Am I.. Nervous??

I rolled off of the bed, slamming onto the floor.
   "What the hell?" I groaned, staring at the unfamiliar room. Just then my head started pounding and I felt like I was going to throw up. Fuck. I got so drunk last night. I pulled myself up to see a shirtless Ethan sleeping on the bed. No no no. But damn those abs are actually perfect??
    "ETHAN!" I whisper-yelled in his ear while shaking him. He popped up instantly.
   "Wha- what happened?" He asked in a sleepy voice. He looked adorable. No Scarlet stop.
    "I don't know.. Like at all. I don't remember anything from last night so please tell me- tell me we didn't-" I panicked.
   "Now that I think of it..we did." A smirk appeared on his face. I wanted to slap him, so I did. "What was that for??" He acted all innocent and confused.
    "This is not funny! At all!" My heart was pounding, more than my head was. The only thing I could think about was that I couldn't remember it. Damn it. "And we have work today. We have to save lives today and we are hungover and now confused." I scowled at him, even though I wasn't mad at all.
    "And what exactly are you confused about love?" He whispered before getting up and taking a shower.
   I'm confused because I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is lust or if I'm falling in love with this boy. I told myself I wouldn't let love get in the way of my work, and here I am, hungover because of this idiot that I think I'm in love with.
   Ugh. UGH. I can't go to work today, I feel like I might die.
