The next day.
I wake up with no alarm and check my phone. I have a few messages from Ethan and I have the biggest grin ever and cover my face with my pillow and I let out a high pitched scream. My summer has been the greatest ever, I honestly can't think about it ending, even though it's just started but it'll just make me extremely sad once it does end.
I call up Hannah to see if she's doing anything today. Ethan and Grayson have plans together anyway.
"Hey Hann, are you doing anything today?"
"Hey girl! Not that I can think of but we can go down to the beach and chill... Ethan can join us?"
"Ethan and Gray already have plans but we can definitely go to the beach. Pick me up in about an hour?"
"Absolutely! I'll see you later."
We hang up and I jump put of bed only wearing my underwear. I walk to my window and open the curtains. To my surprise I see Ethan walk past his window and he sees me. Oh shit! I'm literally in my underwear but before he could catch a glimpse of anything I cover myself up and fall to the ground cursing. Oh god, what if he saw me, like what if he saw everything. I peep a little but he's not there. Thank you jesus, I crawl towards my bed and grab my sheet and loosely cover myself with it.
I walk to the bathroom and take a quick shower and wash my hair. I try to distract myself from thinking about Ethan but nothing helps. It's like he's in my mind and controls it, which mind you, I wouldn't mind so much but when I'm around him it gets super awkward because I feel like my thoughts are loud and maybe he can hear them, it's silly I know.
I get out of the shower and pat myself dry. I wipe the foggy mirror and my mascara from last night is smudged, shit I look like a racoon.I walk to my room and sit in front of my mirror and do my make up whilst my hair dries. I need a day at the beach and definitely some words of wisdom from Hannah. I wish Ethan and Grayson came with us because they're such goofballs and make anything fun, it would also be nice to watch the sunset with them all.
I walk to my wardrobe and take out a red hawaiian shirt with my vintage high waisted Levi's denim shorts and tuck my shirt in. I wear my white vans socks and pair it with my high top vans in black and white. Ever since I've been around Ethan I feel like I'm beginning to dress like him... The girl version, not bad if I'm honest. I grab my beach bag and put in my sunscreen, towel and a few snacks and magazines. I grab my sunglasses and put them on my head.
I head downstairs and I decide to wait outside my front yard and lay on the grass. It's so hot out but I adore it. I lay on the grass and soak up the sun, man I feel so relaxed right now. I hear birds singing and a few cars drive past.
A few moments have passed and the sun completely disappears making me open my eyes. Yeah, it's Ethan standing over me."Whatcha doin there...?" He says with a smirk on his face as he stands over me. Shit, he looks good at any angle... What the fucking fuck. I sit up and lean on both my elbows squinting.
"Ethan, hey... Where's Gray? He moves to sit next to me.
"He's still getting ready... You look beautiful by the way." He says it so casually.
"Thanks, you dork." I laugh and playfully nudge him. He nudges me back a little harder and I nudge him back twice as hard making him topple over and laugh. His laugh is something else, I swear. I could listen to it all day. He ends up doing the most hilarious face ever.
I laugh and accidentally snort making him laugh even harder. I end up falling back on the floor and he grabs me. I put my arms around his neck and we kiss. He runs his hands down my thigh.
"Ethan!! We're outside!" I hold his face .
"Nobody can see us." He says with confidence.
"Mhm... Well there's an old lady stood right behind us." I try to whisper.
Ethan turns around fast.
"What!?"
I laugh at his expression. He can be gullible sometimes. He looks back at me and tickles me.
"Noooo!!... Stop!" I say in between laughs. I manage to straddle him and hold his arms down.
"Hey! No fair, you're more flexible than I am." He says as he tries to break from my grip.
"Awwwh, too bad."
He tilts his head to the side and looks behind me.
"... Isn't that Hannah?." He looks serious but I know he's kidding.
"Ha ha very funny."
"No, really, turn around." He begins laughing.
I turn around and my mouth is wide open.
"Shit!" I whisper. I roll over onto the grass and awkwardly sit there, hoping that Hannah didn't see any of that. Who am I kidding, she already knows what's been going on between Ethan and I. I quickly stand up and grab my things. The look on Hannah's face says it all, she grins at me and I am now turning bright red.
"I'll see you later E, have fun!" I rush to the car and see Ethan stand up and wave at me. Oh man... The only reason why it's awkward and uncomfortable, is because I've only told Hannah about us but now she's seen it. I think Ethan felt just as uncomfortable as I did. I see him walk back into the house and we drive off.
I hope she doesn't say anything. I can't explain myself right now.
