Best Friend with The Player

Chapter 4

Ellies POV
I get home as soon as I can. I hurry and get ready (outfit in media). When I get a text from Ethan.

Ethan:
Hey it's pretty late so I think we should just go to my house and watch a movie, I'll order pizza. Hope you good with that :))

Me:
Of course. That's perfect :) I'll be right over.

Ethan:
What? I know you don't have a car yet. So I'll come and get you ;)

Me:
Okay thank you. <3

" NO NO DONT CHECK IN THE CLOSET. SHES AHHHHH." I scream
I practically jumped into Ethan's lap.

" I'm sorry." I chuckled awkwardly
" it's cool. I'm guessing your not a horror movie person."
" you guessed right"

He turned off the movie.
" why'd you do that? I thought you liked that movie?"
" actually I was bored out of my mind. I just enjoyed watching you get scared." He laughs

I playfully slap him in the shoulder.
" that's just wrong." He laughs again.

Oh I love his laugh. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
" oh I got an idea." He says snapping me out of my thoughts.

" and what might that  be?"
" let's play Truth or Dare."
I was hesitant, but I agreed.
" you can go first." He said
" truth or dare?"
" truth."
" oh come one. Seriously. I thought all boys were suppose to pick dare.."
" well not this one" he says kinda embarrassed

I felt bad, 'cause I think I made him feel bad.
Wow great going Ellie, first date with a guy and you made him feel bad.

" sorry that was kinda of rude of me. I shouldn't have said that."
" no your fine. It's just I'm not like other guys." He smirks
" well that's good. Cause I'm not like other girls." I wink "anyway, who was your first kiss?"

He rubs the back of his neck.
" I-uh-I actually haven't had one."

Okay I'm dead, I've died. Ethan has never kissed anyone. Like he best be joking. Cause I'd be happy to be his first if he really hasn't.

" really?" I asked shocked
" not even your other girlfriends?"
" well I've kissed them."
Oh, now I'm sad.
" but I don't really count them. If they kiss everyone who walks pass them."
I'm happy again.

" oh. well. at least your honest." I say awkwardly
" okay my turn. Truth or dare."
" truth."
" have you and Gabe ever been more than friends? If so would you consider it? And have you done anything above kissing?"

" dude that's like three questions in one. But the answer are no we haven't, I don't think I ever would cause I don't wanna ruin our friendship, and is it sad to say I haven't had a kiss before either?"
He smirks and says "not at all"
" okay truth or dare."
" dare."
" I dare you to run to Gabe's house naked and shout at the top of your lungs how much you love his mom."

" your kidding right?"
A mischievous smile played across my face.
" your not kidding. But Gabe's house is like half a mile from here and he isn't even there."
" I'd run so I won't take up so much time." I smile
" fine" he grumbled and went outside.

Once I heard footsteps run off his porch I open the door. And his clothes laid there.
Oh my gosh he actually did it.

About 5 minutes later he enters the house, fully clothed.
" have fun." I smirk
" definitely. And even Gabe's dad thought it was peachy."
" your kidding?"
" no he literally chased me with a shovel"
" oh my god. I'm sorry".
" it's fine"

" no it's not he chased you with a shovel" I laugh a little
" let's just forget that happened okay?"
" okay."

We went a couple more rounds and ate some pizza. We talked about random things, that came to mind. I felt so comfortable around him, almost as comfortable as Gabe.

" okay okay. That's embarrassing." He laughs
" uh yeah 4 year old me traumatized forever. Santa chasing me cause I had toilet paper stuck in my pants dragging the ground. Just imagine." I laugh " its getting late, I think I should be getting home." I looked at the clock

HOLY MOLY ITS MIDNIGHT. I've been talking to him for like 3 hours. Just getting to know each other, wow this has gone so great. Ethan is such a great guy.

We head outside and into his truck. We pulled up to my house. He gets out and runs to my side.

He opens the door, and I step out.
" thank you kind sir." I say in a British accent.
There was a moment of silence.
" thank you for tonight. It's the best night I've had since he died. So I'm truly grateful for that." I smiled and hugged him.
I start to walk off when he speaks up.

" Ellie"
" yes" I turn around.
He starts to walk toward me.
" truth or dare."
" dare" I chuckle
" I dare you to kiss me."
" wha-"

Before I know it, Ethan had one hand on my waist, the other cupped the side of my face. And as what I felt, he kissed me, so passionately.
My knees start to feel weak.

OMG ETHAN JUST KISSED ME!!!"

I pull back and say.
" how was that for a first kiss."
" I think I want my second." He smirks.
We kissed again.
" how was yours." He asked
" I think I want a third."
He laughed. And pecked my lips.
" I'm guessing your a kiss on the first date kind of guy."
" well with everyone else they usually kiss me. I'd prefer to wait awhile. Get to know the person a little better. But with you I feel like I've known you my whole life. And I just couldn't wait." He smiled

" well Ethan, thank you for everything."
" don't thank me. I should thank you."
" why?" I say confused
" for taking a chance on me. Cause I know people say I'm a player with a bad reputation. But really I'm not. I'm just a good guy, looking for love, and is willing to sacrifice anything for it."

" and here I thought I couldn't  get a bigger crush on you."
I peck his lips, and walk to my door.
" Ellie? You might not happen to want to go on another date with me tomorrow will you? Of course unless you can't handle my appealing body." He smirks wiggling his eyebrows

" oh I can handle you. I did tonight didn't I?"
" well yeah just not the way I'd liked."  He smirked
" omg your to cocky for your own good."
" great I'll pick you up at 7."
" bye Ethan"
" bye sweetheart." He smiled and drove away.

Well, this has been the best night of my life, one I will never ever forget.
