"my dad finally knows how i really feel about ethan." i speak quietly into the phone, watching the smile on sierra's face fall.

"how did he find out?" she asks and i look at my door, making sure my dad wasn't standing there for some odd reason. "he found ethan's pack of cigarettes and i accidentally told him they were ethan's and he yelled and me to stay away from him and i told him i wouldn't because i love him."

she's quiet for a moment. "you love him?" she finally asks and i purse my lips together, nodding, even though sierra couldn't see. "you haven't even known him that long and you love him?"

"it's complicated." i whisper. "i don't get how it's so complicated." she says sarcastically, mocking me in a way. i'm about to say something but before i can sierra says something. "hey i have to go. i'll talk to you later." she hangs up and i sigh and scream into my pillow.

i hear a faint knock on my door and i see my dad standing there with a guilty frown on his face. "can i come in?" i nod my head before i bury my face in my pillow once again.

"i'm sorry," is the first thing he says. "i didn't know you felt that way about him. i realized that he truly does make you happy and as your father, i should appreciate the things he does for you."

he sits on the edge of my bed and rubs my legs in a smooth, calming manner. "i won't keep you from each other anymore. just promise me that you'll be careful. i'm aware of how big his ego is and i don't want him to break your heart. your mom spent 9 months forming your heart, don't let him break it within seconds."

and just like that, my dad was out of the room, leaving me pondering what he said.
-
"i missed you." ethan gives me a quick peck before he drives off to the beach. "when did your dad finally say he was okay with us?" he asks while i play with his free hand. "a couple days ago."

his eyebrows furrow and he looks over at me for a quick second before planting his eyes back on the road. "and you're just now telling me about it today?" "i'm sorry, i had a rough weekend." i make up a fake excuse, hoping he would buy it.

"it's okay." he takes my hand and kisses my knuckles, looking me dead in the eyes before pulling away and smirking. he rests his hand on my thigh the whole ride to the beach.
-
we stopped at a coffee shop to get some coffee, since we both didn't sleep very well last night, before we made it to the beach. thank god we didn't have any school today.

i pull down my shorts and throw them on the beach towel we had lied down on the sand. ethan's eyes scan me up and down before he licks his lips and walks towards me. i close my eyes as he engulfs me in a hug and whispers sweet nothings into my ear.

but one word caught my attention. "i love you." he whispered, probably not meaning for me to hear it. he leaves a couple soft kisses on my neck before he pulls away and we walk to the beach, hand in hand.

"have i ever told you that you literally make me so happy?" ethan randomly blurts out out as we're chilling in the water. i give him a worried look, "are you okay? why are you being all lovey dovey right now?" he shrugs and plants a kiss on the tip of my nose.

"i just feel like you don't get enough love from me," he pauses, "or anyone for that matter." i blush and he smiles at me, removing my hands from my face. "stop covering your face. i think it's cute when i make you blush." he laughs and i playfully hit his chest.

"you wanna go?" he teases and i step away from his arms and hold up my arms, "let's go babe." i challenge him and he splashes me with water. my jaw drops. "you didn't." i glare at him and he almost looks scared for a second. i stay still before i quickly splash him with even more water.

he lets out a growl and starts to walk towards me. i giggle as i start running away from ethan, not wanting to risk him throwing me under the water and getting me soaking wet. see, ethan's advantage is being a fast runner, since he plays football. so it wasn't shocking when he quickly caught up to me.

he swings me over his shoulder and walks into deeper water and i got his back multiple times, screaming at him to not throw me. he acts as if he's going to throw me before he just slides me off his shoulder in a smooth manner. i wrap my legs around his torso for more support.

"thank you." i giggle and he smiles, bitting his lip. his eyes move down to my lips then back up to meet my eyes. he leans in and kisses me gently. i tug at his hair when he deepens the kiss.

"let's go back to your place?" he pulls away with a smirk on his face. i simply nod my head as he puts me down and we run out of the water, eager to get home. we grab our stuff from the beach and run towards the car, quickly throwing our stuff in the back and speeding off.
-
ethan locks the car and we go inside. as soon as the front door is shut ethan pins me up against the wall roughly. "do you think it's funny to tease me in the car like that?" he growls into my ear and i nod my head, wanting to tease him even more. "are you mad, daddy?"

i feel him tense up before he grabs me and swings me over his shoulder once again, walking downstairs. he throws me on my bed and slides on top of me. "i'm going to fuck you so hard you won't be able to walk for a week."

i pull his head down to kiss him which leads us into a very heated make-out session. before ethan can take off his shorts and my bikini, we hear my mom shouting my name.

"fuck." ethan groans in annoyance after getting off me and fixing himself so it looked like we weren't about to get into it. i sit up and walk upstairs to my mom. "yeah?" "who's here?" she asks as she sets some grocery bags on the kitchen table. "ethan." i run my hand through my hair, fixing it a little bit before she noticed.

"oh, nice. i'm about to make some lunch. do you want a sandwich?" she heads towards the garage to get some more groceries. "no, i'm good." i say and feel a presence behind me. ethan's hands wrap around my waist and he sweetly kisses my neck, sucking a little.

"we'll have to finish what we started later." he then whispers in my ear and i swear my legs were going to give up on me right then and there. "oh, hey. ethan right?" my mom comes back inside with bags hanging on her arms.

"yeah, nice to meet you mrs. west." he smiles and she chuckles. "please, call me stacy." he awkwardly says okay and i cringe.
-
ethan and i spent the rest of the day hanging out and trying not to get too into our make-out sessions since both my parents were home.

until it was time for him to leave. "bye babe." he pulls me in for a kiss and i smile into it. "bye dolan." i tease and he rolls his eyes playfully at me. i watch as he gets in his car and pulls out of the driveway. he waves at me and i wave back.

"i love you too."
