It Was More Than Just A Crush...

Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Sophie was visiting her house on her private island. The interior of the house was outstanding with the water below the glass floor thoughout the house,the roomy kitchen,bedrooms,bathroom and much more. Sophie was sitting on her queen sized bed playing games on her phone until she got a mysterious phone call. The caller ID read:Blocked number. Sophie touched the accept button. She swung her hair out of the way to place the phone on her bare ear and answered,

"Hello?"

"Hey." Ethan replies leaning against the wall frame on the phone. Sophie hung up as soon as she saw him the same time Ethan did as well. Sophie snapped,

"What are you doing here?"

"It was the only way I could get you to answer the phone. You've been avoiding me all week. You haven't been answering my calls or replying to any of my texts. Why are you trying so hard to run away from me?" Ethan asked.

No response.

"Sophe,in the movie,Titanic,Jack falls for Rose. You're my Rose and I'm your Jack. I'm truly in love with you and I always will be until the end of time. But it's harder for me to be in love with you and you don't believe me. I need you to be in love with me,too." Ethan poured out approaching the empty space next to her on her bed.

"Well,I'm not. I will never be. The Titanic metaphor was the nicest thing you've ever said to me but you probaby use that line to charm all the girls you hit on. Leave me alone."

"No,I'll never leave you alone. I'll be right here. Forever. And I only said that to you." Ethan spoke picking up one of her hands gazing into her eyes.

"Only ever you."

"I'm sorry,Ethan. But I can't forgive you after everything you did to me these past years,I'm over you. I'm moving on and you should,too." Sophie stated.

"Remember when I sat in the tree on the phone with you in England surprising you when we were fourteen? That was the moment I knew we'd be spending the rest of ours lives together." Ethan remembered giving Sophie the memory.

"We're nineteen now. A lot of things can change in five years." Sophie uttered.

"But love can last forever if both the boy and the girl love each other. I know you love me. You're just too scared to admit it." Ethan told.

"Do you love me now?" Ethan asked grabbing her hand with a tighter grip and sitting closer to her.

"No." Sophie answered.

"How about now?" Ethan questioned again wrapping her arm around her,letting go of her hand and using his free hand to wrap around her stomach pulling her closer. They both start leaning in for a kiss. Once their lips touched,it wasn't until a few moments when they separated from each other.

"Now?"

"No." Sophie worded.

"C'mon,what's it gonna take for you to fall in love with me?" Ethan asked.

"Killing yourself." Sophie joked through laughs.

"Okay." Ethan gave in getting off the bed.

"What???" Sophie asks.

"If it means you loving me then I'll do it. I'll go jump in that ocean and drown." Ethan answers.

"Ethan,don't." Sophie ordered watching him head in the direction of the bedroom door. He was about to turn the knob and open the door when Sophie used her telekinesis to slam it shut. Sophie got up and walked towards Ethan grabbing his hand that was remaining on the knob.

"Please,don't do this." Sophie pleaded grabbing his hand tighter. Ethan turned around to face her. He asked,

"You really love me,don't you? I wanna hear it from you. Say it." Ethan demanded.

"I...lo...I." Sophie stammered as Ethan leaned in closer.

"You can do it." Ethan assured.

"I...I...I love you." Sophie finally let the words flow out of her mouth.

"I always knew you did." Ethan responded.
