Distractions

Ethan's POV

It was getting harder and harder not to think about Margo. More specifically kissing Margo. Especially when she bit her lip while she was concentrating. That was totally turning me on. Her lips had been so close to mine and for some reason I chickened out. Maybe I was scared that she was making a rash decision in the heat of the moment, but her eyes told me otherwise. Maybe she was making a mistake, but her smile told me otherwise... It was just me and my stupid ass brain.
And of course it was my idea to start tutoring. Why? Because I made it awkward by chickening out of the kiss, so i needed to say the first thing that popped into my head. Which, of course, was Spanish tutoring...
So now here we were. Practising Spanish phrases and finishing off pizza while I was mentally slap myself. I had my chance. It was right there. We were so close to kissing. We could be making out right now but no I just had to go and mess it all up.
I'm so lost in thought that I don't realise Margo has put her pen down and left the room. I shrug and find the remote for the tv. I find another Disney movie and press the play button, knowing Margo has probably already seen this I don't bother with waiting for her to get back. I climb back onto the couch and pay attention to the tv.
"Hey. Is it okay if we stop for a bit? My brain is literally dead." Margo yells from another room in this mansion.
"Already ahead of you!" I yell just as Margo runs down the stairs.
She stops when she sees that the tv is on and gives me a childish grin.
"You know me so well, and peter pan. Another classic!"
I laugh before focusing back to the movie. Margo just stands there for a while before finally coming up and sitting next to me. My heart stops for a second, before it starts beating like a thumping drum, fast and very loud. I try to breath calmly to slow my heart beat down but nothing works. Then Margo cuddles up to me and I start to feel an erection coming on. Just great. Just the right time to get a boner. Not. I grab a pillow and put it on my torso, hoping to hide it. I pat the pillow and invite Margo to lay her head on my stomach. She does and it kind of makes me even more turned on. I focus on the movie as much as I can until I hear a soft snore coming from Margo. I smile at her adorable snore before drifting off into dreamland myself.

Sunlight streams onto my face waking me from my slumber. I glance around and realise that I'm still on the couch, Margo curled up next to me sleeping soundly. I smile at her before I slowly get up and quietly gather my stuff. I check my phone and see that it's 7 am on Sunday morning. Mum will be pissed that I stayed over and didn't text her. I cringe before sighing, it was definetly worth it. Once I'm sure I have all my stuff I give Margo a kiss on the forehead before heading out the front door.
I walk along the quiet streets and enjoy the fresh air. Its only a short walk so I end up at my house in under 10 minutes. I try to sneak into the house but mum is wide awake sitting on the foot of the stairs.
"Young man where have you been? I've been worried sick! I haven't seen you since you left yesterday!"
I contemplate lying. Telling her that I was at Cole's house, or even Catherine's. But, in the end, I decide to suck it up and tell her the truth.
"I was at Margo's." I exclaim way louder than necessary.
M

um starts to rant again before she stops, her jaw nearly touching the floor.
"As in your Margo?"
"Yes mum."
"As in the Margo that was your best friend and now your secretly in love with her Margo?"
I blush before smiling.
"Yes mum."
"Gosh. I haven't seen her in ages! Tell her she needs to come over this Wednesday."
I sigh before replying. "Yes mum."
"This is your chance." She winks at me before sashaying to the laundry.
