Ethan
Picture this: It's a perfect Sunday noon. You just have towel wrapped around your waist while the rest of your body is wet because you just stepped out of the shower. Drake's 'too good' is blaring on full volume from your laptop. In short you're having a gala time. And that's when the door of your room burst open and a lizard with blonde hair steps into your room and your mood goes down to the gutter and flush!
Now you understand what I feel like right now.
Ava aka the-lizard-with-blonde-hair stood in front of me tapping her right foot impatiently against the floor while I stood there with all my towel-clad glory.
Welcome to my life.
"What the hell, Ava?!" I covered my bare chest with both of my hands while she rolled her eyes. "Couldn't you knock before coming in?"
"Knock? I was yelling at you to open the door from last fifteen minutes, but this music was so loud that it made you go deaf!" She detached the speakers from my laptop. "Stupid."
"Hey! Don't call Drake and Rihanna's music stupid, okay!"
"I was actually calling you stupid."
"Okay, then it's cool."
Avalyn rolled her eyes before crashing on the bed. Her converses touches the edge of my bedsheet. I scrunched my nose in disgust as I made a mental note of changing it later.
Ava grabbed my t-shirt from the side drawer and threw it on my face. "Go get some clothes on. Moron."
I smirked as I sat in front of her with the shirt still in my hand. "Why? Does this turn you on, Thomas?" I pointed at my buffed up upper body.
Ava gave me the most bored expression know to living beings. "Seeing you shirtless is the biggest turn off of the century to me." She snorted.
"Liar." I muttered before getting the t-shirt on. "So, how come the lizard came out of her burrow."
"First, lizards don't live in burrows. Snakes do. She said like the boring person she was. "Second, shut up!"
This girl literally has no sense of humor. Fact.
"Whatever Thomas, just get out of my room already." I got up from the bed and started unwrapping my towel from around my waist.
"ETHAN, YOU SHAMELESS IDIOT!" Ava covered her eyes from one hand and threw a cushion flying towards me from the other. I ducked to save myself. She muttered something inaudible under her breath turning her face away from me, her eyes still shut close.
I let out a hyena-like laugh. "I thought, I didn't affect you."
My sarcasm was enough for Ava to send all the cushion flying towards me. One of them when hit me square in the face.
"You don't you dumbass, but I can't see anyone strip in front of me."
"Fine. Fine." I took my jeans and went inside the bathroom. "I'll be back in a minute."
Two minutes later when I came back in my room Ava was doing deep-breathe-in-deep-breathe-out to calm herself down.
"So, why did you decide to disgrace my room by coming here today Ava?" I was all blunt. She didn't give a damn about it.
She sighed. "Third of March is coming."
"So?" I asked and picked up an apple from the fruit basket.
She snatched it from my hand. "So, we have to go back to Riverside." She bit through the apple before I could protest.
Third of March just another day for the rest of the world. But not for Thomas and Rodriguez family. It was the marriage anniversary of both if our parents -- they got married on the same date at the same church. And since it was their 15th marriage anniversary it was being celebrated like a big event.
"Oh yeah, I remember. But as far as I know, you wouldn't just come to remind me of my parent's marriage anniversary. What's the matter?"
"You are some true idiot." She mumbled. Her voice muffled by the apple. "Since we are 'dating' according to our family. We have to go there together, stay there together, and........ ugh! I don't even want to think about it." She massaged her temples in irritation. And that's when the meaning of her words sunk inside me.
"No. No. No Avalyn, no way." My eyes did suicide in their sockets.
"You asked for it Ethan. Now bare with it." She hissed.
I slumped in my chair and groaned in irritation. "Now what.?"
"You should have thought about it before lying to Krystal!"
"Don't act all innocent Thomas. You involved my mom into it first."
"That was harmless."
"Harmless? You know how scared I am from her."
She opened her mouth to say something but decided otherwise. She let out a sharp breath. "There's no point in blaming each other. It won't fix anything." She muttered.
"So we are stuck together for the next fifteen days."
She nodded.
Ladies and gentlemen for the first time in human history Ava and I were agreeing on the same topic. We were screwed. Big time.
"We have to do it for fifteen days, then you fo your way and I go mine. No strings attached." Ava said.
I looked day her still doubtful. "Can we tolerate each other for full fifteen days without murdering the other party?"
She shrugged. "Not sure, but we can try."
How encouraging.
I stuck my hand out. "For the sake of our mothers."
She looked at my hand for a second before shaking hands with me.
