Choices {Sequel to The Babysitter}

Chp. 12

"Let's not do labels."

"What?"

"It's summer break and I'm not in the mood to play the relationship game."

"Okay..."

"I still like you. I like you alot, and we're still be each others..it's just..no labels." I said, kissing him.

"As long as I have you to myself..I think I can deal with that."

"Good." I smiled. " I should get going."

"You should stay. It's kinda late to be driving back." He smirked.

"It's only 8' o clock."

"Maybe I want you to stay over." He said, biting his lip.

I smiled and kissed him.
"Maybe I might."

*Next Morning*
Ethan's P.O.V.

"Perry! Perry listen I'm sorry I stood you up, I was busy."

I could hear her babbling into the phone, but I toned her out.

"Hello!?"

I heard her yell through the phone. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"I'll call you back. I have to go." I mumbled into the phone before hanging up.

"Trouble in paradise?"

I looked up to see Melinda in my doorway with Isabelle in her hands. I sighed and took Isabelle's from her.
"There is no paradise. God, Mel, I can't stand this relationship anymore."

"Woah. Where did that come from?" She said, sitting next to me on my bed.

"I got in the relationship with Perry, not because I liked her, but to get back at Ciara. As time went on, Ciara didn't care. I should've known she wouldn't, I mean..she wanted our relationship to end and I decided there's no getting Ciara back, I might as well just stay with Perry. I thought..I could gain some feelings for her..but..I just can't. I mean, she's super clingy, she calls me every five minutes, I just can't take it."

"Then break up with her if your so miserable."

"I don't want to just hurt her like that."

"So instead of being honest and hurting her you'd rather lie and hurt her by being distant."

I sighed and ran my hands through my hair.
"I don't know. She's just not my type of girl."

"But Ciara is?"

"What?"

"Oh, cut the crap Ethan. We've gotten to know each other alot since I had Isabelle. I know you better than you know yourself. You still like Ciara don't you. I mean you went right from heartbroken to in a relationship with her cousin. No one moves on that fast. Atleast not you. You were just trying to get Ciara mad because of how she made you feel."

"Wow..how did you know that?"

"Because I know you. I am right...right?"

"I don't know.."

"You don't know?"

"We've both moved on. Me admitting I still have feelings for her would just complicate everything."

"So you'd rather hide you feelings?"

"It's more complicated than that."

"Sure it is." She mumbled.

Ciara's P.O.V.

I woke up to Grayson standing next to my side of the bed. I raised an eyebrow and sat up.
"Good morning."
