song:
cant take my eyes off of you - ms. lauryn hill

ethans pov

"so, may i ask where we are going?" petals soft and eager voice begs to know on our where abouts. my palm rested on the wheel of the car, eyes focused on the vision in front of me, taking a few turns as a cheeky smile rested on my lips.

"dont do that!" she chuckles while pouting; head thrown back as she crosses her arms.

"what?" i laugh, a quick glance at her smile and her body making my body heat up instantly.

"smile like that!"

"why, am i making you melt?" i joke, her small laughs echoing around the car.

"ethannn." she whines, dragging out my name as she light hit my arm. i dramatically let my hands turn slightly making the car jolt us to the side.

"woah princess! i'm driving here." my voice laced with cheekiness. she slaps my arm again from being so shaken up and scared of my little turn. she pouts her lips, trying not to laugh.

"you're evil." she snarls jokingly.

"awh, i'm evil for taking you to a drive in?" my other hand lifts itself to play with my bottom lip as i turn into 'delsea drive in'.

hey eyes pop a little, looking in front of us as the car soon enters. a flicker of joy hit my heart as i saw her grin largely.

grayson and nadia had agreed to set up things at home while i took petal to the drive in, maybe showing her to my favourite place afterwards.

this is the night i had confessed my obvious feelings towards her. my flirtatious comments and heart struck eyes could prove it, but i wanted to say it out loud.

"ethan this is fucking awesome!" her feet tap continuously, both hand rubbing together as she leaned forward to have a look. my tongue swipes across my lips whilst i admired her state.

in the back of the vehicle i had a bag full of blankets while pillows were scattered. 

"wait right here!" my finger pointed intensely at petal, her hands raising as if they were surrounding. a light laugh following afterwards.

once i made my way out the drivers seat, my hand pushes the door, letting it shut. my feet scatter over to her side of the car, soon opening the door.

her head tilts in a teasing manner, a small grin painted on her face.

"a gentle man?" the words usually meant together but the small pause between made me smirk.

"well i'd like to say im pretty rough, but okay." the words fall from my lips, my brow raising whilst a smirk rests on my lips.

my shoulders bounce; shrugging. petal punches her chest, her eyes widening.

"oh my god you sick fuck."

"im a-" my mind was coming up with so many things to just throw out, my lips preparing every next word.

she immediately catches on, her voice cutting me off right away.

"shut up." she narrows her eyes at me; finally stepping out of the car as she hugs her body. her feet trot out of the way as my hand firmly presses on the door; shutting it.

"now, now sunshine, im being pretty nice here." i refer to taking her out, her adorable little smile coming back out to play.

"and really immature." she playfully snarls; joking.
