two days go by, and ethan has been staying at sydney's house to make sure that she's okay. he wakes up early on monday morning to make sure she gets up for school, per request of her mother.
he walks up the stairs through the dark house, using the flashlight of his iphone to guide his way to sydney's bedroom. when ethan cracks open the door, opening it slowly, he gets hit with the heatwave that's been trapped there all night.
suddenly, his alarm goes off loudly.
shit
he thinks.
must've not shut it off
quickly, he scrambles to press the 'stop' button the screen, and sydney groans, shifting in bed. he aims the flashlight at the floor, as to not shine it in her sleeping face. he takes one more step, only about a foot from the bed, seeing the side of her body rise up and down with each breath. a little smile comes to ethan's face.
he leans down, his lips next to her ear. he kisses her skin slightly.
"hey, angel." his voice is a lot more raspy then he thought it'd be.
"mmmmm." she groans sleepily into her pillow. he puts his hand on her, mostly bare, back, feeling the warmth from her skin.
eventually, he gets her awake and out of bed, with a few kisses involved of course.
"i'll be downstairs." he calls as sydney walks into the bathroom to take her morning shower before school. she doesn't respond, and he hears the water turn on. his cue to leave. but a part of him wanted to stay. wanted to see her get out of the shower, see her wrap the towel around her perfect body, kiss her everywhere. and never stop.
ethan shakes the thought from his head, mentally scolding himself before going down into the living room, laying on his make shift bed on the sofa.
ethan: any chance i'd be able to see you out of that shower princess?
hitting send, he holds his breath.
