Emma's pov.
I tap my fingernails on the black furnished table, patiently waiting for Ethan at Philz. I hear the little bell at the door, causing my head to look up. My brows furrow in disappointment when it's just a random man.
Ethan texted me an hour ago to meet here at 6:30 p.m. He's been ghost all day, so I'm dying to hear his explanation.
I check the time on my phone, reading 6:47 p.m. I sigh, unlocking my phone and scrolling through Instagram.
Ethan's pov.
I walk into Philz, seeing her quietly sitting at table, scrolling through her phone. Her scrunchy tightens around her high ponytail perfectly, and her freckles compliment her beautiful blue eyes. "I'm so sorry," I explain walking over. Her head shoots up looking at me, with annoyance, but also understandable. "It's fine." She replies smiling back.
"You didn't get a drink?" I furrow my brows taking the seat in front of her. "I was waiting for you."
"Well, then let's go!" I get up , holding my hand out for her to take. We walk up to the cashier and we both order our drinks. I hand my credit card to the cashier, earning a groan from Emma. "You always pay!" She crosses her arms. I laugh at her cuteness and shrug. "I always beat you to it," We grab our coffees and sit back down at our table.
"So, why did you wanna meet up?" She asks taking a sip from her coffee. I look down, fiddling with my fingers, trying to figure out how to tell her.
"It's good news... somewhat," I say scratching the back of my neck. She just stares at me, implying to continue. "Well... you see.... The band cub sport wants Grayson and I to direct the music video for their new song." I smile toothily. "Oh my goodness, Ethan! That's great!" She exclaims, squeezing my hand. I nod "Yea, it is."
"Why were you so nervous! That's great news!" She smiles, still seeming very excited. "That's because..." I try finding the words, but cant.
I take a deep breath, and decide to just finally tell her.
"They want me to be in the music video and if I were to accept it I would have to kiss another girl for one of the scenes." I finally blurt it all out at once, leaving her face looking confused. Her hand slowly releases mine, still seeming lost. "What?"
"I would have to kiss a girl for one of the scenes," I bite my lip while running my hands through my hair.
"Oh," She just sits there, in thought, thinking about what to say or do.
She finally looks up, causing my heart to race. "You should do it."
"What?" I ask almost choking on my drink. "Do it. Do the scene. Kiss the girl. Be in the music video." She smiles from ear to ear. "But Emma I wou-" "No buts!" She interrupts.
"Ethan, this is your dream. To succeed, do exciting things like this. And we both like each other... a lot. I'm not letting one kiss ruin your dream or our relationship. Besides, I know you don't have feelings for whoever the girl is. It's just for a video." She caresses my thumb with hers, staring deeply into my eyes. I keep staring at her, not speaking, or moving.
"Ethan," She laughs snapping her fingers in front of my face. I grab her hand with one hand, and my drink with the other, pulling the both of us out of the coffee shop. "Ethan!"
I quickly walk over to the car, opening it and getting into the drivers seat, while she gets into the passengers. "Ethan, what happened." She sounds a little worried. I start the car, pulling out of the parking lot, and driving straight to her apartment. "Was it something I said, Ethan I'm sorry. Ethan." She whines, looking upset. I pull up to her apartment complex, hopping out of the car, her following behind me. "Why are we at my apartment!" She yells running behind me. I take the secret key under her pot, unlocking the door. I quickly pull her in, setting mine and hers drink on the table.
Emma's pov.
His chest heaves up and down, mine doing the same. He does nothing but stare, his eyes piercing into mine. "Ethan I-" He interrupts me, by closing the gap that was once between us. He kissed me rough, but passionately. I slowly start kissing back, taking it all in. This moment, this kiss... him. He finally lets go, breathing heavily, connecting his forehead against mine.
"You're amazing. Thank you, Emmy." He smiles, kissing my forehead. My heart flutters at his words and my cheeks turn red. "You're even more amazing... um... E-tee-wee-tee," I laugh. His eyes widen, then he starts laughing with me. He picks me up, taking us to my couch. "Why'd you run out of Philz like that?" I ask, playing with his hoodie strings. "I couldn't kiss you in front of all those people," He answers in an obvious tone. I blush, looking down while a smile slowly creeps on my face. His index finger lightly lifts my chin, causing me to look up.
He pecks my lips before cuddling into me. And with that, I slowly drift off to sleep.
