The Unlikely Event of Falling in Love

Dark and Twisted

1 month later

I didn't want to tell Ethan how flirty Jake is towards me. I mean if I ignore it then it doesn't mean anything...right? He would always joke with me and compliment me and it was super sweet. I didn't want to tell Ethan because I kind of enjoyed it. Not saying I'm in love with jake but it was sweet. I love Ethan though so I just won't mention it. Today I had to print this huge poster which meant I had to go to the creepy printer hall. It was the one with the biggest printer so off I went to the creepiest dark room ever. Literally, it was so dark you couldn't see anything. You pressed the start button and all light turned off. I got down there and pressed the start button and it was dark. I just stood there because it took about 5 minutes till the light came back on. I heard the door open but couldn't make out who it was so I got a little crept out. Before I knew it their arms were around me and they started to kiss me. It was a different kiss but still felt great. Ethan really knew how to surprise me and made me feel safe. I kissed him back and hugged him. His hands cupped my face and I could feel his heart beat. I knew I shouldn't tell Ethan because our relationship is perfect. I really do love him. The light turned on and my eyes adjusted to the light. When they did I wished I never came down here. I gasped louder than ever.

"Jake what the hell are you doing. You can't just come in here and kiss me like that. I'm with Ethan and you know I love him." I said angrily so he would know. "Claire you kissed me back," he said staring at me. He sounded so cocky and it made me want to slap him. "Because I thought you were Ethan!" "Don't you think after a year and a half of being together you would know how Ethan kisses you and touches you?" he said confidently. He had a point, which scared me. It scared me a lot that I just stood there looking at him. "Look me in the eye and tell me that didn't mean anything to you," he said. I just stood there in shock because he was right. I should know how Ethan's kisses feel. I should've also known that Ethan had no idea where this printer place was. "I just was so caught up I wasn't paying attention and I guess, well that's because" I just started rambling. Because that kiss was amazing but I had to push it away. "Jake that was inappropriate and that didn't mean anything to me. That pushed any level of respect I had for you and I actually started to like being your friend." I stood my ground. I took my poster and left. I knew I had to tell Ethan before it got around or Jake twisted it because I can't lose Ethan. I just don't know how he will take it.
