Payton's POV
"We're home!" Abigail yelled into a seemingly empty house. After blowing cash at GK Elite, we went for an early dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. My favorite place ever. I got a delicious creamy bowl of Fettuchini pasta with chicken. And let me tell you. It was rocking. Like a whole orgasm in my mouth. Abigail got kids bowl of pasta. I also brought back a dish for Mom, Dad, and Ethan. Couldn't leave them out.
"Welcome back guys. Hope you enjoyed your little outing. The boys are already in their room." Mom appeared from the kitchen, wiping her hands with a towel.
"It was fun. We caught up. I also brought back food so you don't have to cook, Mom." I held the bag up for her to see. I left out the part about buying Abigail leotards because we wanted it to be a surprise, on the day of the competition.
"That was sweet you, my love. Go on up. I bet Ethan is waiting for you." She added the last part with a wink. I rolled my eyes, and gave a small laugh.
"Hey babe." I greeted Ethan, closing the door of the guest room behind me.
"Hi baby. How was the outing?" Ethan asked, running his hand through his hair. I gave a huge smile, and took out his wallet from my purse, tossing it to him. Ethan's face stretched in surprise.
"Don't be mad. I used it to buy Abigail some leotards for her competition on Saturday, which we will be attending. Oh and we also got dinner at Cheesecake." I kicked off my shoes and laid down next to him.
"I'm not even mad. That's was nice of you." My eyebrows stitched together. He really wasn't mad.
"You really are not mad?" I asked for clarity, laying my hand on his chest. Ethan laughed, and shook his head again, cementing the answer. Straining my neck, I reached up and planted a kiss on his cheek. His arms enclosed around me, and clasped on my lower back.
"I am gonna go change." I said, getting up from the bed and grabbing my pajamas. I went into the bathroom, and closed the door behind me. I slipped out of my white jeans and flowered print body suit. I replaced those with a checkered short and tank. Just as I pulled down the tank down from across my chest, Ethan came in.
"Ethan! I was changing." he just cracked a smile. His arm was behind him and I heard a click signifying that the door had been locked. He advanced towards me, rather slowly. With each step he took toward me, I took once back, until my legs bumped against the bathroom sink.
Once Ethan got directly in front of me, I placed my hands on his chest.
"I could've been still changing y'know." I said, looking into his blue eyes.
"Good thing you weren't." he responded, a sly smile playing on his beautiful lips. Placing his hands on my waist, he gently pulled me closer.
"Eth-" what I was saying was cut off by his soft lips on mine. My arms wrapped around his neck as he lifted my up onto the sink. I ran my fingers through his hair, pulling him closer to me. I felt a shock as his hands rubbed up and down my exposed thighs.
"You are so beautiful. You know that?" Ethan pulled back, and my core pleaded for him to attach his lips to mine once more.
"Mmm." It wasn't much of an answer, and Ethan raised an eyebrow at it. My thumb grazed his ear as my other four fingers were around the back of his neck. I bent my elbow, pulling him closer to me. Of course, he didn't fight it.
To my pleasure, or lips met once again. Ethan's hands cupped the underside of my thigh, lifting me from the counter. I locked my arms around his neck, to ensure I wouldn't drop. I knew well and good that he wouldn't though.
Keeping one arm under me to support me, Ethan used the other open the door. Ethan was slowly making his way to the bed. Our lips moved against each other and our tongues danced.
Once we got close enough, I felt myself being gently placed onto the bed. Ethan's body fell into place, still on top of mine, but he had his elbows out to brace his body mass.
"What was all of that for?" I asked, breaking the kiss. I was a rather exasperated. He answered with a cute shrug. Literally everything he did was cute. Ethan rolled off of me and perched himself on his right elbow, facing me. I mimicked him, perching myself on my left elbow so that I could face him also.
"Let's play 21 Questions." Ethan said, turning off the TV.
"21 Questions?"
"21 Questions. It'll give us a chance to learn even more. About each other."
"Okay you first." I said.
This is defiantly going to be interesting.
