Boyfriend Stealer

'What should I wear to hang out with Ethan, my ex who I used to still have a thing for but now I don't?'

I settle in a pair of denim skinny jeans and a maroon aero T-shirt with some maroon flats. I pull my hair into a high ponytail and grab my keys as I head out the door. "Bye mom and dad I'll be back before ten," I yell then I shut the door and slide into my car.

......................................................

'You can do this! all you're doing is hanging out and then going home.' I had been sitting in Ethan's driveway for about five minutes trying to convince myself to turn my car off and walk to the front door.

"Hey Al are you gonna come in or just sit there all night?" he chuckled.

I couldn't help myself I blushed out of embarrassment, and turned my car off.

"I'm coming I just wasn't sure if you were home." I answered while sliding out of my car and shutting the door.

"Oh. Um you do realize you pulled up behind my car, and you could've just texted me and asked if I was home."

I laughed nervously, 'good try Alli A for effort in trying to cover your ass.'

Ethan and I walked inside and sat down on the couch in the basement/hang out room.

We talked and laughed for hours, it was actually really fun I missed him as person. His presence, his laugh, and the way he could get me to laugh about anything.

"Woah! it's already quarter of ten I told my mom I'd be home before ten."

"Ok come on I'll walk you out."

-outside-

"Thanks so much for hanging out with me tonight Ethan, I had a lot of fun."

"No problem Alli. I've really missed you."

"Me too."

What happens next i wasn't prepared to handle.

Ethan leaned in and I leaned in until we were practically nose to nose. I'm not sure who closed the distance between us, but one second I could've stepped away with a comfortable distance between us and then the next second our lips were pressed together. Our lips moved in perfect harmony, it was as if time stood still. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer if that's possible, and he wrapped his arms around my waist. When I realized what I was doing I snapped back into reality, and pulled away suddenly.

"E-Ethan th-that shouldn't have happened," I stuttered.

"I'm sorry Al."

"I-I should go," I said trying to get the stutter under control.

I got into my car and pulled out onto the road once I got home I went straight to my room and shut the door. I heard my phone go off I picked it up off the floor

'Hey babe r u home yet? or do I have to come kick Ethan's ass?? ;) -Ryan'

I put the phone down leaving Ryan's text unanswered.

'That kiss was a mistake so why did I enjoy so much?'
