sydney: excuse me?
ethan: uhhhhh
"i'm leaving for work." vanessa comes into the kitchen, talking to ethan with her back turned.
"alright." he says, looking back to his phone, his cheek getting hot. he isn't sure what his girlfriend is going to say, or if she's going to say anything at all. maybe she'll just leave for school upset at him. vanessa shuts the front door as she leaves for the day.
sydney: did mom just leave?
ethan: yeah
sydney: come upstairs
ethan moves faster then he ever had before, his heart nearly beating out of his chest. approaching her closed bedroom door, his knuckles knock on it three times.
"come in." his girlfriend calls. opening the door, he sees sydney in panties and a t-shirt that she must be wearing to school today.
"that's it?" he asks, half-joking.
"this is it." she declares, scowling at him. she bends down to grab a pair of jeans from a drawer in her dresser, and he can't help but stare at her ass.
"stop it."
"you can't expect me to cupcake."
as she looks over her shoulders, eyes squinted, ethan winks, smirking.
"you'll be great today." he tells sydney as she buttons her jeans and goes to sit next to him on her bed. he pulls her into him with one arm, kissing the side of her head.
"can you just come with me?" she pouts.
"no, but i can drop you off...and maybe bring you lunch..." a smirk stretches on his pink lips. as he feels her body slightly heavy against his, his heart begins to ache. her words ring in his head.
"you're what's holding me together right now."
a/n: i hate myself ;))
