"Let go, Andrea." Ethan pulled at my wrist dragging me away from the booth.
"Nooooo.." I whined as I clutched unto the pole of the booth, "We need to get that fucking turtle, Ethan." I gritted, wriggling out of his hold and diving under the curtains so that I can crawl and get inside the booth but as I reached for the foot of the blue turtle I was lifted up by my waist and was pulled out from under the curtains.
"Ethan!" I wailed, "We need to get that fucking turtle.." I whined, just noticing the people around smiling at us, while some covered the ears of their children.
"You already have the pink unicorn." He said as he placed me on my feet but I tried to move closer to the booth again and to my best of luck -note my sarcasm- his arm tightened around my waist halting my attempts.
"But I want that fat ass turtle too." I whined, without thinking -only about the blue turtle- I turned around in his arm and faced him, giving him a pout and my best puppy eyes, "Ethan, we cannot let anyone else get that fucking turtle. Please.." I pleaded with my hands clasped together and I even bounced a little, without even noticing the decreasing space between us.
I stilled once I felt Ethan's hot breath hitting my cheek, but it didn't seem to bother him because he leaned in closer. Nose to nose, eye to eye, he whispered:
"It comes with a price." We stood there staring at each other, my heart beating thrice the rate that it should until I snapped out of whatever it is and put some distance between us narrowing my eyes at Ethan who looked confused.
What the fuck just happened?
"What price?" I asked instead, my voice cracking at the end.
Ethan shook his head before answering.
"I'll think about it. So do you want the turtle or not?" And he's back at his smirking self. I looked up at the blue, smiling turtle then back to Ethan who is staring at me.
"Okay," I answered, determined to get that fat ass turtle, "Get me that turtle." I said sassily, raising my chin up and crossing my arms across my chest. I heard Ethan chuckle, stepped forward but not before leaving a feather like kiss on my forehead that had my cheeks flushing and my intestines churning. (That rhymed😂)
"I'll win you that fucking turtle." He whispered.
"I got you a new bestfriend, lady rainicorn!" I laughed, bouncing on the heels of my feet merrily while hugging both the blue turtle -in which I named 'sailor' because he's color navy blue and you know 'navy', navy seals works on the waters so they're called sailors as well and I think-- so that's why his name's sailor- and the pink fat unicorn to my chest.
"Thank you." I glanced at Ethan.
"Don't thank me just yet, remember that comes with a price." Ethan smirked at me and I narrowed my eyes at him. I have a feeling I wouldn't like it.
"Don't look at me like that." He chuckled, putting his arm around my shoulder.

"Where did you go last night?" Asked Jack once we sat down.
"Yeah, we came back for you, but you weren't there." Seb.
"We even called both your phones." Aaron.
"Ooh, I don't have my phone with me last night." I pipped in raising my hand.
"Why?"
"I left it at home." The three nodded before turning to Ethan.
"And what about your phone? Did you leave it somewhere too?" Seb asked, his eyes narrowing playfully at Ethan.
"Nah, I have it with me. I just decided to ignore you." The three gaped at him while I rolled my eyes, so used to his rudeness.
