7. See You Tomorrow

Ashley's P.O.V.
The ceiling of my room seems to get whiter and whiter the longer I stare at it. I've been up for hours when I should be sleeping. I'm on sleep and pain meds that are supposed to aid with my restlessness at night, but they are doing nothing to help me tonight.

He is keeping me awake. I've been replaying the day over and over again for the past couple of hours. The whole days' memories are stronger than any of the medication I'm on for el cáncer. What has been keeping me up the most was our goodbye.

*7:30 pm*
Ethan and I were on the couch again for the second time today, watching yet another horror movie, but this time we are eating ice cream and sharing a blanket and couch intentionally, having actually gotten to know each other well by the end of the day; unlike me falling asleep on him this morning and invading his personal space.

"What the fuck?!?! That's the end? What? That's so awful!" Ethan yells at the TV while the killer murders the main character that we both thought was going to make it out alive in the end.

"Oh my gosh Eth, don't blame the TV for this sad excuse of an ending," I say, laughing at his over-dramatization.

"You're right, it's not the TV's fault, it's your terrible taste in movies." He says teasing.

"Rude." I fake being offended and push him playfully.

He was obviously caught off guard by my action and lost his balance because he falls off the couch, bringing both the blanket and myself with him. He hits the floor with a soft grunt and I end up on top of him somehow, laughing my ass off.

"Holy...shit are.... you...okay?" I ask between my fits of laughter.

"Yeah I'm good. Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, you broke my fall." I say laughing even more and he joins in.

As our laughter dies down and the room falls silent, I stop and realize the position we are actually in. I'm sitting right on top of his abs and our faces are barely a foot apart. I'm pretty sure Ethan realizes this too because when I look down into his eyes, they are already staring at me. A blush creeps onto my face as he continues to look at me, drawing me further into those deep green pools that I feel I will drown in if I look into them any longer. Ethan very slowly begins to sit up, inching closer to my face, without breaking our intense stare. Holy shit.

His eyes finally leave my eyes and move to my lips, I also break the eye contact to find his lip to be between his teeth. This bitch and his lip biting is going to kill me. His  actions send my heart into a frenzy and it starts pounding like crazy, I'm afraid Ethan could hear it.

"Ashley I'm home!!!" Ethan and I jump and I get off of him so fast, the sound of my mother's voice scaring the shit out of me. Ethan quickly throws the blanket on the couch, just as my mother makes her way into the living room.

"Why hello Ethan, it's so nice to see you again," my mother greets politely.

"Hi Mrs. Greene, it's nice to see you again as well."

"Mrs. Greene makes me sounds like an old lady and you will basically be like family during these next three months, so please call me Clarisse."

"Okay Clarisse," Ethan replies with a smile.

"So what are you guys up to?"

"Well we were just watching an awful horror movie and eating ice cream."

"Yeah and now that you're home, we can let Ethan finally leave and go home to his family."

"Oh you're right, it is kind of late. Have a good night Ethan, and thank you so much for spending the day with my beautiful daughter. We'll see you tomorrow at the same time," My mother says happily.

"It's really not a problem Clarisse, Ash is really good company anyways and it's fun being here. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"I'll walk you out," I tell Ethan. He nods and waves to my mom, who reciprocates the gesture. I lead the way to the door, unsure what to say to Ethan, my mind still reeling over what could have happened before my mom walked in the door.

We reach the door and Ethan suddenly stops, forcing me to turn around and meet his beautiful eyes. He steps closer to me, which causes my heart rate to increase significantly and my face to heat up. I freeze, scared to make a wrong move. With only inches between us, he lowers his head and whispers, his voice deep and raspy, "See you tomorrow Ash."

I'm at a complete loss for words and I respond in the only way I can manage, a quick nod and a smile. Surprising me even further, Ethan sweeps my hair behind my ear and places a soft kiss on my cheek before slipping out of my house, leaving me frozen in the doorway. Holy shit.

(Present time)
Everything about this boy is amazing and I just can't seem to stop thinking about him. I know I just met him today, but I've never felt this way about any guy before. He makes me feel so warm, happy, and alive. Just being close to him makes my heart race and I have to admit that I love the feeling. Ethan makes me feel like I'm not sick, like I don't have only three months. He make me feel like I'm free and there is nothing I can't do. He is so amazing and I feel like I have known him my entire life, everything is just so easy with him. My cheeks start to flush like crazy just at the thought of him.

What is this boy doing to me?
