Amelia's P.O.V

I was hanging out with Matt, Ethan and their friends. I was feeling out of place though, they were all sitting around drinking, making out, laughing and talking like friends do. I watched as Matt and Ethan were the center of attention...Matt flirting with some girls...some girls flirting Ethan, one especially...she was trying to cling to him and flirt with him but he never really seemed interested, that never stopped me from feeling self-conscious. I was sitting a little away from the group they had gathered in. You could see they were all close which I liked seeing but it wasn't making it any easier for me but I never wanted to ruin anyone's night. I decided to sneak of for a bit alone while they all seemed occupied. We were all at an old baseball field that never got used anymore, hidden away from everyone. I headed over to the other side of the field, standing and looking onto the river that ran by it, the sound of it making me relax. I sighed, running my hands through my hair and wondered if I will ever fit in with people the way all of them seem to fit together. I sort of hated that Ethan and I can act like boyfriend/girlfriend around people since Matt has no clue what is going on.

I stood getting lost in my own mind, watching the river flow by...watching the moon of the light shine on it, making it even more beautiful. I snapped a couple of photos before putting my phone away. As I stood in my own world I felt a pair of hands sneak around my waist, the smell of beer tickling my nostrils. I shivered as soon as the arms came around me tightly, telling me exactly who it was.

"Hey baby what you doing over here all alone?" Ethan whispers in my ear before placing a soft kiss just below it

I let out a soft moan before looking over my shoulder at him

"Just wanted a minute to myself. You all seemed occupied so I decided to sneak away." I said giving him a small smile

He looked at me, a concerned look on his face before using my hips to turn me around to face him, pulling me into him and running his thumb over my cheek

"What is going on? You don't seem yourself?" he asked

"Sorry, just feeling a little out of place I guess. You have all known each other for years, always hanging out and are close that is easy to see so feeling like a bit of outsider if I am being honest." I whispered, turning away from him

He placed his hand on my chin, turning my face back around to look at him

"Sorry baby girl, don't want you feeling that way. I hate that I can't just pull you into me and keep you close to me Amelia. Please don't feel like an outsider Amelia, give everyone a chance and they will make you feel welcome." He smiled

"Maybe." I said not sounding very convincing

I know I had no reason to worry but being around these girls, knowing Ethan has probably hooked up with some of them was making me feel uneasy cause I know what they gave him and I am not giving him anything. I know if he knew the way I was thinking right now he would be hurt, possibly a little angry because we have been through this but I can't help myself.

"You want to go home? I can go with you?" he said

"No, no of course not. I just need some time to get used to all this...this new life you know?" I said

"I get it baby. I am here for you, not in a way I would like to be but I will be close by OK?" He said

I smiled, nodding...thankful for him. I looked around, making sure there was no one around before I wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing my body into his and reached up, pressing my lips against his. Ethan growled into my lips, his grip tightening on my hips and kissed me back. I smirked against his lips, dashing my tongue between his lips which he parted for me, pushing my tongue into his mouth, nudging his. He got the hint, our tongues soon dancing together. His kiss making my heart pound harder in my chest and my stomach tight. I whimpered into his lips, playing with his hair as we kissed.

"Ethan?" I heard a female voice call out

It was the one that was clinging to him and flirting with him, thing her name was Sasha or something like that. The sound of her voice made me pull away quickly from Ethan cause if she seen us I had a feeling she would not think before running to tell Matt if it gave her a chance of getting Ethan.

"What we gonna do?" I asked panicked

Ethan grabbed my wrist in his, pulling me in behind a large tree, pushing me against it and pressed himself against me

"Shh, don't make a sound. That girl is crazy." he whispered

I nodded, making sure not to make a sound...Ethan doing the same. We hear her walk around on the gravel, calling Ethan's name a few times before letting out a loud huff and storming off. Ethan peeked out, seeing where she was before coming back to me

"She is away back over to everyone else. Where were we?" he said with a smirk

"Don't you think we should head back...separately before they notice we are gone?" I giggled

"Nope. I think we should stay right here and make out a little, will worry about them later." He chuckled

I knew it was safer if we headed back but I couldn't resist him...resists his eyes...his lips. I giggled, shaking my head before pulling his lips back to mine, kissing him roughly. Ethan and I soon got into a heated make out session against the large tree. I was becoming a hot mess around him. I ran my hands down his back before resting my hands on his ass...I like his ass...he has a nice ass. I grabbed it in my hands, giggling into the kiss. He chuckled, pulling away from my lips for a moment

"Enjoy that?" he smirked

"Yes. I like your ass." I said winking at him

Winking? Since when do I wink? He smiled at me when I done that, clearly not expecting it but liked that I was doing it to him. Is that not what I meant to do to my boyfriend? Flirt, tease, wink and mess with them? Boyfriend, still trying to get my head around that. I looked at him, tilting my head to the side, pouting my lips slightly as I stood thinking to myself.

"Amelia? You seem to be thinking hard, what you thinking about?" he laughed

"What are the chances of us getting away from here without people catching on to why we are leaving?" I asked

I wanted to leave, go somewhere...anywhere just him and I. I wanted to try some new things with him...no I don't mean sex that is something that will take time, I just mean other things...maybe get to know him...um better. I was not sure how far I wanted to go but knew I wanted some alone time with him.

"I am sure we could come up with something. Why, what did you have in mind?" he asked curious

"Just wanna go somewhere, you and I." I whispered shyly

"I like the sound of that. Just follow my lead OK? I will get us out of her without anyone clicking to what we are doing. How are you at pretending to be sick?" he asked

"Um...dunno but I am sure I can try." I giggled

"OK. Well you are sick...I am taking making sure you get home OK? If we can make them believe that then we are safe at least for the next few hours." He smirked

I nodded, agreeing to his plan and hoping it works. Ethan stole another kiss from me before we headed back over to everyone. I really home this goes how we need it too, if not we are screwed.
