Summer Love

chapter 13

After prime time*****

Once prime time we over the boys and I started walking to the Pine cabin to get warm clothes on for the camp fire. I walk in first and just grab the Quantum sweater Ethan have me. I then put bug spray on and walk out. Right when I walk out the boys walk in followed with the door closing.

Ethan stays outside  with me holding on to my waist and rests his head on my shoulder.

"First full day down, one full day of dating each other." He says. He grabs my hand and squeezes it. I smile at him and muzzle my head into his chest.

The door to the cabin opens and we let go of each other but latch our arms together like we always do. Wyatt comes out of the cabin and walks over to us.

" You guys are always together. Why is that?." He asks me. I look down because I don't know what to say. Ethan wants to tell Wyatt at this campfire and until now I haven't put much thought into it. All of a sudden I start having a hard time breathing and I start lose my power to sit up properly. Ethan notices and wraps his arms around my waist, ignoring the look he was getting from Wyatt. He then starts to whisper in my ear a song to soothe me. Carry on my wayward son. It's an old song I have always loved and I told Ethan that this morning at chapel. This song is a song that calms me down when I start panicking.

I start to calm down and Ethan let's go of my waist and again latches his arm with mine like always. He then looks up at my brother.

"Wyatt, we need to talk to you at the campfire. We are going to go for a walk and talk to you, okay?" Ethan asks. My brother nods his head and goes and talks to his friends in the Tamarack cabin.

I look up at Ethan and give him a worried face. I don't want to tell Wyatt but I know we need to. I don't think I will be able to say anything when we talk him so I am hoping Ethan will say everything.

All the boys are done changing and we head down to the beach campfire. Beach campfires are my favourite kind of campfires because the sun sets on the water and it looks amazing. Once we get there Ethan tells Sirius that he needs to talk to Wyatt and I. Sirius nods and Ethan grabs Wyatt and comes over to where I am standing. I start to breathe heavy and my heart starts pounding. As mean as my brother is I still care that he is okay with Ethan, mostly because he could tell my parents that I am dating an eighteen year old without giving me time to explain.

"Okay," starts Ethan, "Riley and I need to tell you something Wyatt and you can't be mad at her okay? If you are going to be mad at anybody be mad at me okay?"

My brother nods and you can see a face of confusion.

Ethan sighs. "Okay, so yesterday when Riley dropped you off in the cabin I gave her a note. In the note I told her to meet me at the Glenn at prime time. When prime time came around we found out that it was cabin prime time meaning I couldn't talk to her at the Glenn like the note said. So her ankle injury was my fault. I tripped her so she would get hurt so that way I could take her to the nurse and meanwhile talk to her. The talk that I wanted to have with her is that I thought she was attractive. I told her that right away I caught feelings for her. She told me that she felt the same way but that she was nervous because as you probably know she has never had a boyfriend and the fact that there are to be no intimate relationships with campers and counselors. Despite all that when I asked her out she said yes and we have been dating for a day. Now going along with her moving into our cabin it has nothing to do with her and I being secretly together. All of it is from a counselor who wants and needs to watch after her. Our relationship comes second in that matter. What we want to know is how you feel with all this Wyatt?"

Wyatt looked down and closed his eyes. He was thinking. I knew my brother and that was his thinking for a big idea or problem. In his eyes he is probably trying to find out if this is a problem of if its okay. I look up to Ethan and see him looking down shifting his feet back and forth.

Finally, Wyatt looks up. "I'm okay with it." He says. 

I look at him with a face of disbelief. I go over to him and give him a hug. "Thank you Woodgie. You don't understand what this means to me."

He smiles and goes to Ethan. "Now usually brothers give the speech saying if you hurt my sister I'll end you but I like you and I don't think you would do anything. But who you should watch out for is my dad. Riley is daddy's little girl. Always has been. They do everything together. They watch hockey, Supernatural, American Horror Story, ghost shows and some many other things together. They read together, and she always makes sure he is in line with everything. They are like soul mates but like not the romantic type of soul mates. More like friends or in this case father and daughter. Because Riley has never had a boyfriend before he will be even more protective and he might not like you at the start. So I'll be easy with you."

He walks away and joins the campfire. I turn to look at Ethan. He has this worried expression on his face.

"He is lying. Riley tell me he is lying." He rushes over to me and shakes me a little bit.

"No he isn't Ethan. But please don't worry about him right now. If he really tries to do something to you I can stop him. He listens to me usually. Ethan just remember I love you and that's all that matters."

I reach up to his face and bring his lips to mine. He moves my hands to the back of his neck and puts his on my cheeks moving me closer to him. He breaks free grabbing my arm an pulling me to the campfire. We sit on a log by ourselves singing the last few songs. We get the snack that was passed around and watch the fire burn.

Once the last song was song our cabin was called and we went up the stairs to cabin hill.

"Okay boy. Cabin bathroom or lodge bathroom?" Ethan asks the boys.

"Lodge washrooms!" Most of them shout. Sirius starts taking them to the bathrooms while Ethan takes me to the nurse for my medicine. We walk hand and hand to the nurses office. Once we get there we wait in line for the nurse. Ethan comes close without being to close and wraps his arm around my waist underneath his sweater that I am wearing.

We get called in and I tell the nurse my name. She finds my basket in the Huckleberry bucket.

"Nurse, Riley switched cabins today, she is now in Pine cabin." Ethan tells her.

She looks at him surprised but moves my stuff anyways. We then leave once I take my medicine and go tot the washroom to get our pjs on and brush our teeth.

Once we finish we head to the cabin. Just outside of the cabin, Ethan stops.

"Riley, you don't have a light." he says.

I curse under my breath. I forgot all about that. "I've got an idea. We can use the lantern and I can put it at the middle of my bed so you can still see it. I can hide a little from the boys with your bag and my knapsack." Ethan offers.

"Won't it bug you?" I ask.

"No its okay. I used to have a night light when I was younger so it won't bug me." He replies.

He hugs me and we walk inside. The boys were in there beds sleeping, listening to Sirius read a book.

I go into my bunk and lie down. Ethan gets up and pokes his head at my head part of the bed.

"Goodnight Riley. I love you so much." He whispers. He then kisses me on the lips really quietly.

"I love you to Ethan." I whisper back and doze off to sleep.
