I haven't seen Ethan since the two of us spent the night together. I almost felt like I'd seem clingy if I messaged him, not that he would mind – I don't think. A part of me has been itching to give him a ring or just drop him a text to see how he's doing, but the other part of me doesn't want too. Ethan has always been a bit of a notorious fuckboy, so I'm thinking he must be seeing someone else, you know? Maybe they're just fucking like we are, but maybe it's serious and if that's the case, the two of us can no longer fool around.

Sitting in my room, I wonder if Ethan has mentioned our rendezvous to my brother? I shuddered at the thought of my brother knowing about that, he wouldn't be impressed. Being nineteen and a legal adult, Harvey doesn't like it when I get a boyfriend that's a year older than me – not five. Here's the thing with Ethan, he's so easy to get along with. No matter what age you are or how quiet you are, Ethan always manages to talk to anyone. For example, my cousin, Adam, is painfully shy. He never speaks to anyone, not even the family, so it always comes to a shock when he can't shut up when he's around Ethan.

Tonight, my best friend, Georgie messaged me saying that we should go and hit the town because we don't go out enough. Originally, I had said that didn't want to go, but, like always, she managed to convince me. Getting up from my bed I walked over to my wardrobe and picked out a pair of black, wide leg trousers and a cropped red bandeau. After getting undressed, I pulled my dressing gown on and sat at my vanity desk and began to get ready, I always start with my hair and makeup. I decided to straighten my hair for a change and go for a glittery make-up look. Since Ethan told me he thought I was sexy, I've been experimenting with how I look and seeing and what type of style suits me best.

When I met Georgie at the pub, she looked me over and whistled loudly. "Hey, sexy."

I laughed as I sat down next to her at the table. A few other people were sat with them, people I recognised from school, not that I kept in touch with any of them. Georgie has always been a social butterfly, much like Ethan when I come to think of it. She's also been very friendly with the boys, always giving them a helping hand, if you catch my drift.

"I haven't seen you in a while, Haze." Callum Hubbard said, looking up at me as he took a swig of his pint.

Callum Hubbard has wanted to get in my knickers since we were fifteen years old, four years down the line and it's apparent that some things never change. We used to talk here and there when we were at school, but it never turned into anything serious because I knew for a fact he just wanted something quick and easy.

I smiled a little. "Uh, yeah, it's been a while."

His friend Todd rolled his eyes at his friend's obvious staring but chose to talk to Georgie instead. Some more of their friends popped up, pulling up chairs and sitting with us around our table. A few of the boy's girlfriends came along, so I spent a lot of my time talking to them, apart from Callum's girlfriend who was just shooting daggers into the side of my head.

When it hit around midnight, Georgie was hammered and was dragging me out the pub and towards the nightclub, dancing to some song she was singing. I giggled a little when she started waving her hands in the air. The club was already pretty busy when we got inside, so the two of us made our way to the bar before whilst there weren't many people there.

A hand landed on the lower of my back making me jump. I looked up and saw Ethan stood beside me, a soft smirk on his face as he looked down at me. He leaned down, his face getting closer to mine. "You look exquisite."
