"Sandra, who are you talking to?" My brothers voice filled my room

Shit

I had to think fast. I snatched my phone out of Ethan's grip and put it up to my ear.

My brother was already inside my room and standing there wearing a questioning expression.

"Can I help you?" I asked

"Who were you talking to?" He said crossing his arms

"Dude, I'm on the phone go away"

"Pfft, with what friends" he said mockingly. "Mom said lights off, it's time for bed"

"Little bitch" I said looking at my phone to check the time. "Wow it's already 12"
I turned my attention back to my brother "now get out" and he did

"Someone's rude" Ethan said while getting up to close the door

"Want me to pull a prank on him?" He asked grinning at me

"Pa leaaasse " I said and we both laughed
"But I though he couldn't see u"

"I can work my magic" he said proudly

"Ok remind me tomorrow" I said entering my toilet and shutting the door behind me. After I was finished, I did my night routine. I walked out and came face to face with Ethan.

"Woah, I  forgot you were here" I said moving back
"And I need to get changed" I looked at him waiting

"You know you want me to stay" he said smirking and moving closer

"Oh get out" I said pushing his body away

He put his hands up in defeat and walked towards the wall and did a little  wave before disappearing through it. God that was sexy. Wait what. No stop.

I quickly got changed into my pjs and sat on my bed with my phone by my side.

"You can come back now" I said quietly

"Yeah you better call me back" his deep voice echoed my room

"Are you gonna sleep?" He said taking a seat on my bed

"Nah, I'm a night person"

"No shit me too" he squealed "I'm also a morning and afternoon person, in fact I don't sleep at all"

His tone made me laugh. Damn he was funny.

"You're too much" I said playfully punching his arm

"But seriously get some rest. I'll let you sleep" he said getting off my bed and heading towards the wall once again.

My mouth opened to say something but he gave me a small wave and disappeared and it was too late. Should I have stopped him? Nah that's weird. Deep down I wanted him to stay. Yet I still wasn't sure if I was completely comfortable around him. But we bonded so quickly.

I tried to put my mind to rest as I rested my head on my pillow.

It's been what I estimated to be 2 or 3 hours and I can't sleep. I kept tossing and turning. Eventually I sat up and checked my phone.

"Can't sleep huh?"

My body jumped, causing my phone to fall out my hand. Before I knew It Ethan was in front it my and he snatched my phone before it landed on the floor.

I let out a massive sigh of relief as he handed it back to me.

"Well your easily scared" he said searing himself down

"Firstly bitch" I said and he chuckled
"Don't act like what you did was normal. You came out of of the freaking wall at 3 am"

"Okay okay. we get it" he said in a mocking voice

"Whatever and were you watching me" I smirked

"What? No. I just sensed that you'd be awake that's all" he said looking away. I could see his face turn a bit pink. I did that.

I laid back on my bed facing the ceiling. Ethan soon copied me and we both sat there in silence. His legs were much longer than mine and he had his hands behind his head. There was a small gap between us. Just big enough for us not to touch. Our breathing was the only thing that was audible.

"Can I tell you something?" I asked

"Shoot"

"Why do I think this is all fake? Like this weird feeling. Im so surprised at how well I'm taking this actually. I mean we're both laying on the same bed just chilling and having laughs, but I feel like this is all a dream and that your not really here because that would be the only logical explanation for this."

"Boy do I wish that were the case" he mumbled
