I Promise

Chapter Nine

CASSANDRA'S POV:

I woke up naturally, the room still freezing even in the morning. I could see the slight light creeping through the small round window, it caused a shadow to show up on a strip of the floorboards. However the sun wasn't fully risen yet.

Memories of last night stuck in my mind, bringing a smile to my face. I always expected my first time to be awkward and painful but it wasn't. It was amazing and I'm so glad it was with Ethan, he was so gentle yet passionate.

We were both still naked, tangled up with each other and the bed sheets. I could feel the coldness of the room hitting one of my bare legs. I turned over to face Ethan, his eyes closed and his hair messy. I smirked at how adorable he was.

"Ethan." I whispered as I stroked his cheek.

"Mmm." He murmured.

"Wake up for breakfast." I bribed him. His eyes opened, focusing on me.

"Kiss me first." He pouted his lips.

I leaned in to kiss him sweetly. I could feel his hand trail down my back, making my skin tingle.

I got out of bed and began to get dressed, I changed into black skinny jeans and a grey tank top, putting my black jacket on over it. There was a knock on our door.

"Come in." Ethan called out while he covered his naked body with the covers.

"Sorry to disturb you." The woman appeared in the door way. "But you're both welcome to use my shower since you don't have one up here." She nodded.

"Thank you." I smiled at her.

"Breakfast is downstairs." She said before leaving again.

"Honestly I think she's my new best friend." Ethan chuckled as he stretched.

"She's so sweet." I raised my eyebrows and sat on the bed. "I'm showering first." I said quickly so he didn't protest, I went to stand up but Ethan playfully pulled me back down.

"Hey, that's not fair." He laughed as he pinned me down on the bed.

"I won't take long, honest." I smiled up at him. He pushed some hair out of my face and caressed my cheek, I loved the feeling I had when he touched me.

"I'm so lucky I met you." He said, his eyes glowing.

"I think I should be the one saying that." I chuckled. Ethan planted a kiss on my forehead.

"Hurry up and shower then before I get impatient." He joked as I pushed him off me and went to shower.

After both me and Ethan had showered, we went downstairs for breakfast. The sun still rising. We sat down on a table in the dining room that had sauces on it. It looked like a cute cafe. We had pancakes. Ethan looked adorable up against the window, he had his black hoodie on and was holding a glass of water. (Picture at the top).

"Do you think we should thank the lady for the condoms?" He shrugged.

"Ethan!" I whispered, giggling.

"What? They were used well." He grinned.

"Stop." I laughed and pushed him playfully.

After breakfast, we went to check out at the desk, we had to walk down all the flights of stairs that we walked up.

"Thank you for letting us stay here... um..." Ethan nodded, not knowing what to call the woman.

"My name is Margo." She smiled sweetly.

"Thank you Margo, we really appreciate it." I nodded as Ethan gave her some money.

"You're welcome. Have a safe trip to wherever you're going." She waved us off as we walked to the door. Ethan couldn't keep his mouth shut.
