his hand did this thing where only the palm would be barely rested on the top of the wheel as he smoothly twisted the wheel as he turned. i couldn't lie and say it wasn't hot.

a simple movement was messing with my brain, and the ride was still full of nadias "oohs!" hoping she figured out what 'ispied'.

"carrots!" she yells, my eye blinking at the loud echo bouncing off the car walls.

"nadia, literally, what the fuck?!" i stifle laughs while whining at her. she wouldn't stop her weird attitude. not that i minded, she was being absolutely weird that it was entertaining.

my body fully turns towards her as my eyes squinted in disbelief. "where the hell do you see carrots?!" 

ethans chest bounced as he let out strings of laughter.

"you are absolutely out of it." i shake my head, my body turning back as i shuffle in my seat.

nadia hums and she thinks even more, my eyes shifting onto ethan; hoping he would guess to stop this silliness. his eyes caught my own, taking a quick glimpse before returning his vision back on the road.

"clouds?" ethan almost shyly asks, in hope he was correct at the same time not.

"yes!" i sigh in relief, the letter being c and nadia throwing out all the most bizarre things that i hadn't even known were things.

"awh come on!" she moans, pouting her bottom lip now.

"it was so simple nadia, you are just playing now!" i turn back, her body flinging back into her seat as she tries avoiding my hand. she throws both hand in the air as he legs get tucked up into her chest; the belt becoming loose around her body.

"okay okay, im trying add a little spice! whats up your ass?" she jokes, a cheeky grin painted on her.

my nose flares as she evilly laughs at me, ethan still doing the same; laughing at us.

i guess i actually appreciated the game now since we had finally made it down the very road that ethan lives. playing had made time pass way quicker, and i felt my stomach drop as my nerves swarmed.

"oooooh! we are almost there!" nadia squeals in delight, her hands now slapping the back of my seat as i watched the smile that grew on ethans lips.

his eyes flickered towards me, my throat swallowing the lump that formed as i couldn't really think of what else to really say. i was absolutely nervous.

i guess ethan noticed this, his hand landing on mine. warmth immediately wrapping around it as a reassuring squeeze of his hand over mine made me suck in a breath.

i appreciated his cute little way of keeping me calm.

but when he turned into the driveway, i flipped my hand so i could intertwine my fingers with his. almost more tightly than i had ever grabbed onto something before, ethans hand was glued with mine.
