i grabbed my coat from the lounge quickly, so i didn't have to make Ethan wait so long,  we reached the ground floor and immediately heard the rain violently slap the glass windows, i managed to catch Denise's eye on the way out. She was starring at me, giving me a death glare, then she mouthed, 'watch it, Bennit.' i rolled my eyes, facing forward i had to tell Ethan she was onto him "Hey, you know Denise?" I started to speak but he cut me off "don't be scared of her, she does it to every female that comes close to me," he said opening his car door for me and i thanked him.  "So, are you?-" "no, I'm not interested in her. at all." he said as if he could read my mind. I wanted to smile so hard, but i kept my straight face on.

"Where are you taking me?" i asked and he shushed me, "Somewhere special." is all he said, my heart started beating.  after sometime he pulled up to a green restaurant "This is my favorite place to eat." he said as we walked in "Why?" I asked as we sat down on a table "Because it gets me away from everything." He looked outside the window, clenching his jaw before he turned back to face me starring at me with his piercing hazel eyes. i wanted to kiss him, right there in the restaurant, but something was restraining me from doing so. "Oh my God." A screech was heard between us and our heads turned to the side "Are you Ethan dolan?" The hazel haired girl asked as she was jumping up and down Ethan looked at me then looked at her, "yes." he finally began to speak after a while and her eyes shot open wide "Can i have a picture, please? i love you so much." She said "Sure." Ethan replied standing up from his seat, wrapping his large forearm around her tiny petite body. shortly after, she left me and Ethan had fallen into a awkward silence, he shifted uncomfortably in his chair here and there but no words were exchanged, i felt him staring but i kept my eyes glued on the menu.

"Hey guys, are you ready to order?" The waiter asked and i looked up. he had a  fairly messy high top, eyes were piercing brown, lips were pink and plump and his bicep looked like it was trying to rip his tight black shirt apart. Ethan looked tense as he watched me watch the waiter, why? "Ma'am?" He spoke up and i looked up at him "Sorry, i'll have a chicken salad," I slurred the letter 'd' as his arm flexed , writing the order  on the small notepad. "And you sir?" The man turned to Ethan and Ethan rolled his eyes "I'll have what shes having." He said as he reached over to grab my hand. The waiter walked away and i turned to Ethan "So do you grab every girls hand you take for lunch?" I asked softly, taking my hand back and he rolled his eyes before saying "No,"  "So why'd you grab mine?" I asked as he stayed silent. "I brought you here cause I wanted you to come to my party, tonight." he said as the waiter came back, placing the hot food in front of us i took a bite of the chicken. "Where?" I asked after swallowing. "My house, I could pick you up?" He asked and i nodded. "Dress fancy, text me your address." I noticed that Ethan was almost done with his meal and I was still only on the first few bites. "Hey, are you going to finish that chicken?" He licked his lips, pointing at my chicken that was sitting ontop of the salad. "Do you want it?" i said as I stabbed the fork inside the golden, crisped chicken. "Yeah." He shifted forward.
i put the chicken close to his lips but as he was about to take a bite, i pulled  the fork back, making him miss. "Damn it new girl," he chuckled " i have a name. It's Elise." I said biting the chicken.
"Well, Elise i think it's time we head back." He said and I agreed. We paid the waiter, then left.

This was going to be my first party in New York, I didn't want to make a bad impression so I went with the  long choker red dress, that I had bought, just before I had moved.
The car outside my window honked and I grabbed my purse, heading out.
I got into the car.
"Hey, Ethan." i said as i put on my seatbelt he was wearing a black tux, "so, is this party fancy? Or fancy fancy?" I asked as I looked over at him, his jaw clenched so hard it looked like he wanted something so bad.
"The first one one." He murmured as he stopped at a red light, finally looking over at me.
"You look beautiful tonight," he released his jaw, i thanked him as he began driving again.
Finally, we had reached his home and tons of cars were parked, people were entering. "Woah," I said as he opened the car door for me.
He wrapped his arm around my waist. We walked to the front and the security guard stopped us "she's with me." He said and the guard let us in "wow, you couldn't even bother to put my name on the list?" i rolled my eyes and he gripped my waist, tighter the music was  playing loud, people were drinking at the bar and others were dancing away, like there was no tomorrow. "You wanna dance with me?" He looked down at me, both of his hands now rested against my hip, he edged closer and so did i until his brother came, "hey, man where did you go?" He asked pushing Ethan back, violently "i went to pick up Elise, like we discussed." Ethan clenched his jaw the second time this night as he squeezed my hip harder.
"Oh you mean the girl you wouldn't stop talking about?" Grayson was obviously drunk and it was only -12:53- in the morning.  "Let's get you upstairs, buddy." Ethan spoke as he put his brothers arm around his neck, leaving me to stand there all alone " wait for  me." Ethan said as he dragged his drunk brother upstairs.
