    I felt my breathing pace quicken. I literally had no idea what to expect.. Ethan's bright brown eyes stared into mine as mine stared back and flickered around the room. 

"Don't move.." Ethan's voice was very mellow as they looked back down to my lips and he leaned in. 

Yep. It's happening.. 

"I just want to try something." He breathed out voluntarily as our noses softly touched. I lightly nodded shutting my eyes. 

Ethan's soft plump lips found mine. I didn't move as I was told and it happened. Ethan and I kissed. He pulled away breathing hard before leaning in and kissing me again. I couldn't help myself but to kiss back and take some control for myself. 

His large hands then found my waist as mine went up to his face and around his neck. 

Only two seconds later, he pulled away with his hands still on my waist. He had this look on his face of utter confusion and uncomfortableness. Did I do something wrong.? 

"Ethan?" I said looking up at him confused myself. My room was lightly lit from the moon shining, the shadows on his face perfectly captured his essence. 

"I'm fine.. it just hurts. A lot.." He said nodding and looked down. I put my hand on his cheek feeling the scruff on his face as his eyes peered back up at mine. 

"Are you okay.?" I said softly looking at him. He nodded closing his eyes. 

"I'm okay. I just have to learn to deal with it." He said smirking looking at me. I smirked as he leaned in pecking my lips one last time. 

I woke up looking around my room only to find that Ethan was gone. I sighed and sat up fixing my hair and checked the time. 11:00 a.m. Damn.. I overslept. I looked over to my bedside table to see a note. I looked at it confused and realized it must have been Ethan. Written in sloppy cursive it read, 

          hi Valerie, I left once you fell asleep to not disturb you. your dad checked in this morning on you around 8 before leaving the house. I left right after that. but i really wanted to bring you to my home today to show you where I live. i'll be coming to get you around 3:30, see you then (:

I smiled at the message and looked up sighing. How did I get so lucky honestly? Then before I could even think anything else there was a tap on my window. I flinched looking over to that area of my room. Thank god its morning or else I would be scared out of my mind. 

I put the note down on my bed and got up going over to my window and looked out seeing Grayson. 

Why do guys have this thing about knocking on my window?
